Mangan asked DeMaria his financial forecast in terms of tax revenues and redevelopment. The mayor stated that between the proposed use of the power plant site, phase two of Encore and the continuing redevelopment of lower Broadway, its success will largely depend upon the city getting transit access. “The next 10-20 years I see a huge amount of revenue coming in, but that doesn’t help FIVE-YEAR | SEE PAGE 10 Prices subject to change DIESEL TRUCK STOP FLEET

O’Connor never admitted to the School Committee, the State Ethics Commission or the people of Everett that he was being paid as an employee of the Leader Herald whole working for the City of Everett. O’Connor even admitted to leaving his years of employment from 2017 to 2019 with the Leader Herald off his LinkedIn page, agreeing with Atty. Jeff rey Robbins that it would not have looked good listing both Leader Herald and School Department. Plenty to see here, folks O’Connor was presented a 9 Sept. 14, 2021, email where he showed concern over Tahiliani’s 2020-2021 Superintendent Evaluation where she was graded as Profi cient by the School Committee, advised corrupt Leader Herald publisher Josh Resnek that if he was to write a story on the evaluation, to just “leave this alone,” ending his email with, “I’m not pretending this is gold because it’s not. But maybe if it’s presented in a certain way….” And as in a “certain way,” Resnek published a glowing front page, large type headline article that Tahiliani received high marks as superintendent when in fact she received just a profi cient grade by the School Committee. O’Connor was also aware that the surveillance cameras that Tahiliani claimed in a lawsuit were installed by the mayor were, in fact, not installed by the mayor but by former Supt. Forestiere over a decade ago prior to her taking the supt.’s position, but would neither question nor inform Tahiliani’s motivation or allegations of spying by the mayor. The cameras were installed by Forestiere to catch a custodian who was using the computer to fi nd information on fellow employees. After an Arlington security company installed the cameras, they were disconnected a week later after catching the employee – well over a decade ago. Tahiliani fi led a lawsuit, one of two against the mayor and the City of Everett, which would be supported by Resnek’s inflammatory articles supporting the bogus allegations.

Ethics? What ethics? Atty. Jeffrey Robbins questioned O’Connor’s ethics as to why he chose to ignore the facts and stand idly by as students held demonstrations as Tahiliani made false accusations despite his knowledge about the cameras. “…in all those months, for every day that you have access to her, you were never curious to ask her, do you have any evidence at all to make that charge?” asked Atty. Robbins about Tahiliani’s lawsuit. “No, I did not,” replied O’Connor. “Well, is your job – is one of your jobs as the communications coordinator for the Everett school system and the superintendent to know the facts relating to issues – public issues about the Everett school system?” asked the attorney. “Yes,” he said. “And you didn’t want to see if you could ascertain the facts about whether or not the superintendent’s charges were false?” “No, I did not,” replied O’Connor. O’Connor was then asked if he believes integrity is an important quality in a superintendent; and that being a model for the students is just as important. O’Connor agreed. “And you would not want to have, as the leader of the students of the school system in the City of Everett, somebody who made dishonest or false charges; correct?” asked Robbins. “Correct,” answered O’Connor. According to O’Connor, he informed Tahiliani that he was working for the Leader Herald in 2020 and that she didn’t ask him to disclose his relationship with the newspaper to the Ethics Commission, and especially, the Everett School Committee. “Did she tell you to disclose this to anyone?” asked the attorney. “No.” Keeping their secrets Questioning turned to an email exhibit between O’Connor and the corrupt Leader Herald publisher Resnek. In the back-and-forth emails between the two, Resnek, upset over O’Connor quitting as the paper’s page designer, hassles O’Connor into believing that the mayor will be celebrating O’Connor’s departure, stating in the email as he imagines the mayor saying, “There’s the Irish for you. They suck. They don’t stand with each other. I made him quit – and it cost him – and I’m [expletive] happy.” Resnek ends his desperate email with, “How does he [mayor] know what you’re doing in the first place?” The mayor didn’t, as it was a secret only O’Connor, Philbin, Resnek, Forestiere and Tahiliani knew. Atty. Robbins asked O’Connor why he left the parttime, $300/week newspaper job; O’Connor stated that he thought it was best for the Everett school system, as an option and optically. Resnek offered O’Connor the position when Philbin took control of the newspaper after his father, Andrew Philbin, Sr. purchased it in 2017. Robbins pointed out the irony of Resnek, a self-proclaimed investigative reporter who writes about corruption, has him on the Leader Herald payroll while O’Connor is working on the city payroll. “Yes. I worked simultaneously, yes,” said O’Connor. Like three peas in a pod With respect to the weekly production of the newspaper, O’Connor described how close Resnek and Leader Herald owner Matthew Philbin worked together prior to going to press. As O’Connor finished the pages of the newspaper prior to sending them to the printer, O’Connor would be given the final edits on the phone with Resnek, saying, “It was clear that he and Matt worked in close collaboration because in relaying instructions to me, that would be evident.” O’Connor stated that the editing of the weekly newspaper happened “regularly” where Resnek would tell him what Philbin wanted changed in the content of the articles. “And so, from that, you were able to observe from Mr. Resnek’s own mouth that Mr. Philbin was very much involved in the proofing, review, editing, changing, commenting on the content of the paper; correct?” “Yes,” replied O’Connor. O’Connor also admitted that Philbin was well aware that he was employed by the School Department and was unhappy that he was quitting the newspaper. O’Connor stated that Resnek conveyed to him on numerous occasions how much he despised the mayor and that Philbin wanted to harm DeMaria with the newspaper. RESNEK | SEE PAGE 22

Massachusetts has provided state-funded nutrition and cash assistance benefits in the past – from 1997 to 2002 – when the Legislature unanimously voted to provide key benefits. “While the prices of food and housing are rising, thousands of Massachusetts residents are being denied vital food and cash assistance benefits because of unreasonable and cruel eligibility restrictions,” said Senator DiDomenico. “Government can and should do everything it can to ensure its residents have basic living standards, and this is an easy step to take to protect countless people who are suffering in my district and across our state. I want to thank the Feeding Our Neighbors Coalition for their work on this issue and I will continue to partner with these organizations and my colleagues to get this unjust policy fixed.” --------HUMIDORS ON SALE!

DeMaria said residents weren’t happy that taxes increased, but it was due to the Exelon power plant closing. Demas estimated a $2 million loss in taxes. “We have the potential to redevelop maybe 500 acres,” DeMaria said. “If we could service that area, we can develop something spectacular.” City councillors and School Committee members had an opportunity to ask questions. Councillor-at-Large Michael Marchese asked what the power plant pays for taxes annually. Demas estimated $8 million. “It will be taxed at its highest and best use when a new owner takes over,” Demas said. “There are a lot of positive improvements, much like Encore.” Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Matewsky asked how much in property tax dollars goes to the School Department. DeMaria estimated a quarter. Demas said net school spending increased 19 percent. That doesn’t include any forthcoming schools that will be built, which are fi xed costs. “I think that’s very important,” Matewsky said. “I want to know where we’re at as an obligation to our students.” Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins asked to get a copy of the School Committee budget before next Wednesday’s public hearing.

Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins said this item was added to the council agenda at the request of multiple residents, who complained about the excessive littering throughout the city. “Anyone can go out and see the nips everywhere,” Martins said. Martins said surrounding communities have the ban, which has not only reduced littering but cut down on alcohol-related emergency calls annually from 720 calls to 216 after the ban. Legislative Aide Michael Mangan said the council only has the authority to ask. Mangan filled in for City Clerk Sergio Cornelio, who took Councillor-at-Large Michael Marchese to the hospital after he experienced pain in his arm, according to a source who was present. “Eventually, it will get referred to the licensing board and it will be on their agenda,” Mangan said. Martins made a motion to refer the matter to City Solicitor Colleen Mejia for a response for confirmation at the next meeting. Ward 6 Councillor Alfred Lattanzi seconded the motion. Councillor-a t -Large Stephanie Smith excused herself due a conflict of interest as her family owns liquor licenses in the city. During the meeting, Martins asked for an update on creating a cadet program and the status of building a new police station at the next council meeting.

CATALDO, CPA, CFP, MST, ESQUIRE. AICPA Personal Financial Specialist Designee Lucy J. Budman Certified Elder Law Attorney M assHealth has just recently issued Eligibility Operations Memo 23-15 regarding how it will be treating pooled trusts. Pooled trusts are utilized typically when a single individual is applying for MassHealth benefits and is over the asset limit. A Payment is made to the non-profit organization that administers the pooled trust in order to reduce the applicant’s countable resources to $2,000. The administrator of the pooled trust may use the monies set aside for the applicant for support services that MassHealth does not pay for or for the purchase if items that MassHealth does not pay for, such as a computer. Any monies left over upon the MassHealth recipient’s death has to be utilized to pay back MassHealth for benefits paid on behalf of the recipient and typically 10% of the funds remaining will be kept by the pooled trust organization (often 20% if the recipient was receiving MassHealth benefits for two years or longer). If there are still monies remaining, those monies will be distributed to the family of the MassHealth recipient. The benefit is that MassHealth pays a nursing home anywhere from fifty to sixty percent of the private pay amount. Therefore, the amount that has to be repaid is much lower than the private pay rate allowing for the funds in the pooled trust to last longer. There is a chance that money will be left for the family to enjoy. Currently, a single person can put money into a pooled trust if over the asset limit and immediately POOLED TRUSTS ELIGIBILITY OPERATIONS MEMO 23-15 qualify for MassHealth. There is no five-year look back period requirement. This recent memo is stating that after March 1, 2024, there will be a five-year lookback period requirement for funds placed into a pooled trust for applicants over the age of 65. Currently, there is no five-year look back period requirement for applicants who have funded a pooled trust at age 64 or younger, regardless of whether an application for MassHealth benefits is not submitted until age 65 or later, and that provision will remain the same. The likelihood is that this memo is designed to provide our state legislature time to enact legislation to allow for pooled trust to continue to be utilized as they have been in the past thereby requiring no five-year look-back period in order to avoid a disqualifying transfer. For example, if you wish to transfer your home into an irrevocable trust, you have to wait for five years in order to avoid a disqualifying transfer. We’ll see what law is actually passed in hopes of protecting the use of pooled trusts. Joseph D.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 12, 2023 Page 17 Everett Little League: Around the Horn By Stephanie Smith T he Everett Little League T-ball and Farm teams kicked off their season last week at Sacramone Park. The T-ball division, led by Director Jimmy Striker, has 45 boys & girls on five teams with ages ranging from three to six years old. The players have been working hard over the past month at individual team practices and a weekly Friday night clinic where the players get together as one group to learn the fundamentals and meet new friends. These practices have paid off, as the teams had a great start on Saturday. The Orioles hosted the Phillies, and Ronald Freeman, in his Everett Little League debut, got the game ball. He had a solid line drive and laser focus while playing first base. The Phillies had an amazing game. The Dodgers visited the Rockies and, despite the Rockies having only one returning player from last season, the Rockies played well as a team and had some hard hits to the infield. The Dodgers also had a great first game, bringing their newly learned skills to the field. The season continues on at Sacramone Park, kicking off at 9 a.m. on Saturday, when there is a rematch of the Dodgers vs. Rockies and the Cubs host the Orioles. The Farm division, led by Director Mike Graham, has a league-high 70 players across six teams with ages ranging from five to nine. The Farm division kicked off their season on Thursday, when four of the six teams played, and continued the season on Saturday, when the Mets hosted the Braves. The Mets, with a roster full of new players to the Farm Division, had an outstanding first game with almost every player recording a hit. An outstanding feat for a rookie team! Sebastian Heard got the first double of the season, while Jack Thompson went 3-3 and Chris Zide and Tyler Woods went 2-3. The game ball went to the entire team for their teamwork in recording five outs in the field. The Braves played a great game against the Mets, and their game balls went to Mason Baldacchino and Matteo Munez. The Marlins played the Nationals and the Marlins came out of the gate hot with their bats. The whole team contributed to a great game with awesome teamwork! The Nationals earned a rare three defensive outs in the second inning due to their extraordinary teamwork, earning the entire team a game ball. The Royals visited the Diamondbacks, and the Royals’ bats have been hot early in the season, with Lorenzo Teixeira, Jackson Graham, Jonathan McGowan and Jordi Arias all getting big hits. Farm games continue on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. with the Mets hosting the Marlins, and the Braves hosting the Diamondbacks. Catch all six Farm teams on Saturday starting at 11 a.m. at Sacramone Park.

The Crimson Tide were first shut out by Lynn Classical last Saturday, 10-0, at Lynn’s Fraser Field. The game was originally scheduled for May 3, but was postponed because of the weather. Following that road loss, the Everett boys came home to Glendale Park to take on Lynn English to begin a brand-new week on May 8, only to lose their second straight game, 14-7.

Alex Velasco paced the offensive attack against the Red Devils with three hits and three RBI. Isaiah Goffigan, David Saia, Nordeivy Santana, Albert Santana, Matt Turilli, Tyler Wedge and Nick Gilbert chipped in with one hit apiece. “Winning four of our last five games to get us back to .500 is huge,” said coach Joel Levine immediately after the Chelsea game. “We really struggled early on in the season, but the kids are really coming around both offensively and defensively.” But then, the Crimson Tide ran into the host Rams, where not much happened offensively. Saia was credited with three hits in as many at bats to lead the way. Goffigan and Gilbert each singled once.

Santana took the loss after giving up six runs over 3.1-innings. Alex Lara, Velasco and Santana each had multihit games to lead the way on offense. Marshall and Albert Santana contributed to the offense with one hit apiece. “The fact that we were leading in this game was a miracle, because our pitchers surrendered 21 walks, which quite frankly is unacceptable,” said Levine. “I would rather watch their entire lineup hit the ball on top of the police station than watch us walk the ballpark.

She allowed five hits, two walks and four earned runs, while fanning four. The Rams scored one in the top of the first, but it could have been more if it wasn’t for some clutch Everett defense. With the bases loaded, third baseman Alexa Uga handled a line drive cleanly to account for the first out, following an RBI single by Classical. Shortstop Gianna Masucci started a force play to Uga at third. Uga appropriately ended the frame with an unassisted force play. huge, and could have changed the dynamic of the game if they were not made,” said coach Stacy Schiavo. “Limiting them to only one run was a key factor in keeping the girls in the game.” The Everett girls scored twice in the second to take the lead for the first time in the game. Uga was hit by a pitch to start the inning. Bryanna Mason then drew a walk. Longmore reached on an error to load the bases. With two outs, Skane singled home Uga and Mason to put her teammates in front. After the Rams scored four times in the fourth to take a 5-2 lead, the Crimson Tide refused to give up. They scored six times in the fateful sixth to win the game, 8-5. Arabella Cvitkusic led off the winning rally with a walk.

Uga then doubled home Rossi with what turned out to be the winning run. Mason tacked on some insurance runs with a double that scored Seward and Uga. Second baseman Emma Longmore assisted on the first two outs in the seventh, and then after an Everett error she closed out the game by tagging out the Classical runner. “Emma made some great plays in the last inning,” said Schiavo. “The balls were hit hard at her, but she calmly stopped them to make the outs.” “Overall, our defense was on fire to keep this game close, and also Skane’s pitching was HIGH TIDE: Kristi Skane gave a high-five to teammate Kayley Rossi as she headed up to bat during recent action.

These girls played with a lot of emotion, and they knew they had to come back if they wanted a chance to win the GBL title. We got more good news when we found out Revere beat Medford. We lost to the Mustangs (on April 24, 7-5), which created a tie for first place. We still need to beat the rest of the GBL teams on the schedule, but we are just going to do this one game at a time.” Tide silences the Bulldogs The Everett girls started this week off with a convincing win over Lynn English, the host team, 10-0. Skane once again pitched all seven innings, giving up just three hits and three walks to go along with 11 strikeouts. It was her fifth shutout this spring in the circle. The Tide scored its first run in the third. Longmore started it off with a single that turned into a two-base throwing error, putting her on third base. Babcock attempted a bunt, but was called out, because the ball hit her bat twice. Skane then reached on a throwing error, which scored Babcock from third to account for the run. The visitors tacked on six more runs in the fourth. Uga and Mason got it going with singles. Cvitkusic’s sacrifice bunt resulted in two runs via a throwing error past first base that then led to a tworun blast by Babcock, which scored Cvitkusic ahead of her. But Everett was not done scoring in the fourth. Skane and Rossi followed with singles, and a short time later they both came home on a hit by Ashley Seward. The Everett girls closed out the scoring in the sixth with three more runs. It all began with a Babcock single, and she soon came home on a double by Skane. Rossi then doubled home Skane. Seward maintained the trend to score Rossi. Skane struck out the first two batters in the seventh and then assisted on the putout to first to secure another win for her teammates. “The last time we played Lynn English, we beat them, 18-0,” said Schiavo. “We started slowly on offense in this game, but still got the hits when we needed them. The hitting is contagious, when one hits, they all hit, but we need to make sure that we are more consistent with our at-bats. Skane and Rossi make up a great battery, and with the defense behind them they were able to get another shutout.” Following the win over English, the Tide took on Somerville two days later at Glendale (after press deadline). They will head back to Glendale later today for a non-league encounter against O’Bryant, before Revere comes to town on Monday for Senior Day. Both games will begin at 4 p.m.

The public may view and participate in the hearing at this link: https://ci-everett-ma. zoom.us/j/81623643814?pwd=a3NvNkJ2Y1dGVkQ0OWpoN0JEbGVQdz09. This link and the relevant Meeting ID/Password for the hearing will be provided on the hearing agenda and on the City of Everett’s website. The proposed Minor Plan Change is to reflect changes made to Section 30 (“Lower Broadway Economic Development District”) of the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance and City of Everett Zoning Map, enrolled by the City Council on December 12, 2022, ordained on January 9, 2023 and signed by the Mayor on January 16, 2023, which are as follows: a. Modify the boundary of the Resort Casino Overlay District so as to extend over and across Broadway (Route 99) to encompass and include all of the land within the City of Everett bounded by Dexter Street, Robin Street, Mystic Street, Bow Street, and Broadway, as shown on the attached updated Zoning Map; and b. Section 30(F)(1): Modify the minimum open space requirement applicable to a Gaming Establishment within the Resort Casino Overlay District from 30% to 25%. For those who are unable to join the meeting, questions and/or comments may be submitted to Matt Lattanzi via email (Matt.Lattanzi@ci.everett.ma.us), by mail (484 Broadway, Room 26, Everett City Hall, Everett, MA 02149), or by dropping off a piece of correspondence to the Planning & Development Department (Room 26) prior to the meeting. David Ragucci, Chairman May 12, 19, 2023 When asked if he ever disclosed to the mayor, anyone at City Hall or the State Ethics Commission that he was involved in placing taxpayer-paid ads with the Leader Herald, O’Connor stated he did not, despite claiming to the attorney that he had received ethics training by the State Ethics Commission. O’Connor confi rmed to the attorney that since Philbin began publishing the Leader Herald in 2017, and working on a part-time basis as the newspaper’s “pagenizer,” Resnek wrote all the articles about the mayor through 2022. Robbins asked him if he ever stated that the articles Resnek was writing about the mayor were having a very significant negative impact on the mayor from talking to people in Everett; O’Connor agreed. “So, to recap, you knew that Mr. Resnek’s articles were having a very damaging impact on Mr. DeMaria’s reputation from talking to people in Everett on a weekly basis; correct?” “Yes,” replied O’Connor. Truth – he can’t handle the truth Questioning turned to the - LEGAL NOTICE - CITY OF EVERETT articles written by Resnek claiming that the mayor only wanted to become a voting member of the School Committee after Supt.

At said hearing, the public shall be allowed to speak on the proposed City of Everett’s Fiscal Year 2024 Capital Improvement Plan.

Overall, I was pleased with our play, and if it wasn’t for one Somerville player, who scored eight of their goals, the fi nal score would have been much closer.” For the third time this spring, the Tide went up against Medford yesterday, May 11 (after press deadline). The Everett girls will then be at Revere’s and Revere, are voting members of the school committee. Tahiliani made the accusation that the mayor, along with allegations of placing surveillance cameras to spy on her, wanted to be a voting member of the School Committee after she became superintendent. “Do you think that a superintendent of schools who makes false claims is qualifi ed to the superintendent?” asked the attorney. “No,” replied O’Connor. Upon discovery of O’Connor’s employment status with the Leader Herald, under fi re following admission of lies and fabrications by its corrupt publisher, it is clear that the School Committee should ask Supt. Tahiliani the relevant questions and produce the relevant documents about what she knew about O’Connor’s double-dipping and when and what if she did anything about it. Although O’Connor wasn’t employed by the Leader Herald while working under Tahiliani, questions remain for the School Committee: Had she promoted O’Connor, who had committed egregious confl ict of interest violations, while on notice that he had done so; while not disclosing his employment relationship to the School Committee and the State Ethics Commission; and did she use O’Connor’s intimate relationship with the Leader Herald for her own benefi t – a benefi t which she would risk blowing up if she came clean?

Contact person Erik Swanson, Everett City Hall at 617-394-2251. The City of Everett (the “Applicant”) proposes to drill three soil borings within areas jurisdictional to 310 CMR 10.00 - the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (“WPA”) regulations - and to conduct a geotechnical analysis and preliminary evaluation of subsurface materials (the “Project”) at the properties located at 95 Behan Street, and the 40-60 Commercial Street in the City of Everett, Massachusetts (the ”Project Site”). The Applicant is submitting a Notice of Intent (“NOI”) to the City of Everett Conservation Commission for work within the following coastal wetlands and other resource areas protected under the WPA: Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage, 200-Foot Buffer to Coastal Bank, and 100-Foot Buffer to Coastal Beach/Tidal Flat. The proposed work in the buffer zones alone would not require an NOI pursuant to 310 CMR 10.02(2)(b)(1) but is included here due to proposed work within other resource areas. The Project Site is adjacent to, but outside of, the 25-foot Riverfront Area resource area, and is within the Mystic River Designated Port Area (“DPA”) but does not include any work within the Land Under the Ocean resource area. Property Abutters have been notified per the WPA Regulations (see Attachment B: Abutter Notifications). Additional geotechnical exploration work is proposed within the Everett Industrial District in areas outside of WPA jurisdiction. This work will be completed wit the same best management practices utilized for soil borings within jurisdiction. The Project Site is entirely within the Mystic River DPA and is located adjacent to tidal portions of the Island End River (“IER”), which connects to the Mystic River approximately 0.3 miles downstream. It is bound by the IER to the east; the IER, an industrial cement facility at 100 Commercial Street, and Rover Street to the south; and several public and private rights of way (“ROWs”) and parcels under the industrial use to the west and north. The Project Site totals approximately 2,250 square feet (“sf”) and is compromised of portions of two parcels under the industrial and waterfront industrial use with warehouse buildings, parking, and roadway access. The majority of the Project Site is impervious surfaces, with some vegetation present along the nearby IER shoreline and public and private ROWs. The IER shoreline proximate to the Project Site is composed of two distinct areas; an approximately 620-linear-foot (“lf”) section of sloped riprap, and an approximately 1,350-If section of docks and wharfs supporting working vessel operations. The copy of the Notice of Intent is available in the Office of Planning and Development at Room 25, Second Floor, Everett City Hall. Please contact Mr. Philbin, the Agent for the Conservation Commission at 617-394-5004 for assistance. Everett City Hall is open Monday and Thursday 8:00 AM–7:30 PM and Tuesday and Wednesday 8:00 AM–5:00 PM. City Hall is closed on Friday. All persons interested may attend the Public Hearing. Jon E.
