Mangan said Superintendent of Schools Priya Tahiliani has done a good job of trying to fi nd school space, adding he’s in agreement with her about choosing the former Pope John High School site as an option. “I’ve done a lot of thinking, and it wasn’t an easy decision,” Mangan said. “I was hoping some new dialogue with her would open up since budget hearings last month.” Mangan met with Tahiliani for approximately two hours, and Mangan said she’s disappointed in not waiting until after the 2024 election. He was quick to note that Tahiliani would be able to apply for the position. “None of us may be here in November,” Mangan said. “We’d be sworn in January, and her contract is up at the end of February.” Looking at surrounding communities, choosing a superintendent is a 4-to-5month process, according to Mangan. Barros said since Tahiliani’s contract doesn’t expire until the end of February, starting this process is premature. “It’s unexpected, surprising and shocking,” Barros said. “She received good evaluations from us and the student body, so are we pushing her out?” VOTES | SEE PAGE 19

Page 4 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 9, 2023 Healey-Driscoll Administration announces tree planting grants R ecently, in an eff ort to help communities build resilience and mitigate the harms of the climate crisis, the HealeyDriscoll Administration announced $1.3 million in grants to support tree plantings in Gateway Cities across Massachusetts. Eight municipalities and two nonprofit organizations will receive awards totaling $988,300 through the Greening the Gateway Cities (GGCP) Implementation Grant Program, and an additional 15 projects are receiving awards totaling $313,571 through the GGCP’s Partnership Grant Program. “Recently, I got my hands dirty in Malden planting trees. I saw firsthand the tremendous benefi ts the Greening the Gateway Cities Program has on communities,” said Governor Maura Healey. “Our administration is proud to announce we’re investing in our future by creating more tree canopy in Gateway Cities across Massachusetts to ensure we are providing healthy and livable communities for generations to come.” “As a former mayor, I know how important the partnerships between municipalities and key stakeholders are in this program, not only by planting trees but also maintaining them,” added Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. “By employing residents in each community, we’re fostering good stewards and providing them skills applicable to future employment in green industries.” The GGCP is a partnership between the Executive Offi ce of Energy and Environmental Aff airs (EEA), the Urban & Community Forestry Program of the Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR), the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), along with Gateway Cities and local grassroots organizations. These tree Governor Maura Healey and Mayor Gary Christenson are shown at a recent tree planting event in Malden. planting eff orts help decrease energy use, reduce flooding from storm water runoff , and improve the quality of life in these cities. “Our Gateway Cities are on the front lines of the climate crisis,” said EEA Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “With summers getting increasingly hotter, it’s critical that Massachusetts curbs the urban heat island effect. Planting more trees provides a cooling eff ect in neighborhoods, and is especially important in environmental justice communities where there’s less tree canopy, older housing stock, higher wind speeds, and larger rental populations.” “Planting more trees in our Gateway Cities helps shield our environmental justice communities from the extreme heat driven by the climate crisis,” said DCR Commissioner Brian Arrigo. “Last year the Greening the Gateway Cities Program reached a milestone of 35,000 trees planted across the Commonwealth and we are excited to work with our partners create more urban tree canopies and green spaces in our communities that need them the most.” The GGCP Implementation Grant and Partnership Grant awards will facilitate tree planting in 16 Gateway Cities by funding municipalities and nonprofi t organizations seeking to maximize tree planting in urban residential areas of Gateway Cities to augment tree planting that DCR is actively pursuing within designated planting zones. The GGCP Implementation Grant awardees include the following: · City of Everett: $100,000 to plant 65 trees. · City of Malden: $100,000 to plant 154 trees in partnership with the Mystic River Watershed Association.

Page 12 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 9, 2023 MBTA Receives $2.96 Million in Federal Funding for Advancing Transit Reliability in Chelsea, Everett, Revere B OSTON – The MBTA is pleased to announce that the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has awarded the T with $2.96 million in funding for implementing transit signal priority and signal metrics to prioritize buses through 37 signalized intersections in Chelsea, Everett, and Revere. The award is part of the Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) program grant, a $52.78 million investment package under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). In this round, ATTAIN expanded eligibility for projects in communities previously lacking in investments, including rural areas and areas of persistent poverty. “Your zip code shouldn’t determine whether you have access to safe, affordable transportation,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in the USDOT FHWA press release. “With President Biden’s investments in innovative technology, we’re helping communities make transportation safer and more effi cient, particularly in places that haven’t received enough resources in the past.” The MBTA’s project, which aligns with the Biden Administration’s environmental justice initiatives, was one of eight national projects selected to deliver innovative, technology-based solutions designed to improve the travel experience for the millions of Americans who use highway and transit systems. Communities benefi tting from this grant award are home to some of the MBTA’s most transit-dependent riders and have historically lacked access to frequent and reliable bus service off ering connections to the rest of the network. “We’re helping deliver a leading-edge transportation system designed to reach everyone and to work for everyone, especially those in communities who have lacked access to effi cient transportation,” said Federal Highway Administrator Shailen Bhatt in the USDOT FHWA press release. “In Boston, we’re making transit more reliable and accessible for people from all walks of life with this advanced technology grant to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.” “We congratulate the MBTA, especially the Transit Priority and the Capital Program Planning teams, for being awarded this critical funding that will ultimately result in faster bus trips in some of the MBTA’s most transit-dependent communities,” said Transportation Secretary and CEO Gina Fiandaca. “The improvements to come to these bus corridors prioritize reliable, equitable service, and we are grateful to the municipal leaders, members of the Commonwealth’s Congressional delegation, offi cials, and advocates for their collaboration on this win that builds us toward better service at the MBTA.” “Thank you to the FHWA for awarding the T these funds. Upgrades to come as a result of this award include the technology to create a regional Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measurement (ATSPM) system that will support current and future intersections where the MBTA implements transit signal priority,” said MBTA General Manager and CEO Phillip Eng. “This will result in more effi cient bus service for residents who rely on transit to get to and from work, school, healthcare appointments, and recreational opportunities. Thanks to the collaboration and support of everyone involved, the cities and towns we serve, key stakeholders and elected offi cials, MassDOT, and the Congressional delegation, I’m confi dent we will be able to deliver faster and more reliable transit service to our riders in these underserved communities.” “For households in Chelsea, especially our most vulnerable residents, dependable public transit service represents a lifeline,” said Ned Keefe, Acting City Manager of Chelsea. “The City of Chelsea is grateful to the FHWA for investing in the deployment of next generation transit signal priority systems. The City looks forward to collaborating with the MBTA to improve the reliability of bus service in Chelsea and the broader region.” “In Everett, where our residents lack rapid transit service, it is imperative that we work together with our state and federal partners to make the existing bus service as effi cient as possible,” said City of Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “We look forward to these investments as a building block for future improvements as part of Bus Network Redesign and the Silver Line Extension.” “Many of Revere’s residents rely on the MBTA bus system to get to school, work, and to access services and amenities throughout the region,” said Patrick Keefe Jr., Acting Mayor of the City of Revere. “These improvements will help support those residents, and hopefully entice new users to access a more effi - cient and reliable bus system. We applaud MBTA for their eff orts in securing this grant and thank USDOT for their leadership in making this happen.” The intersections to be upgraded under this grant award are part of Phase I of the Bus Network Redesign. This work is folded into the Better Bus Project, which focuses on improving system-wide bus service and emphasizes equity within high-frequency bus corridors. This grant award marks another funding win for the MBTA, which has followed an aggressive strategy to pursue Federal discretionary funding to support capital needs across the system. Since the passage of the BIL in 2021, the MBTA and its partners have won more than a dozen competitive grant awards exceeding $250 million in support of MBTA capital needs. The design work for the project is expected to be complete by the end of 2024. Construction is expected to begin in 2025.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 9, 2023 Page 17 Crimson Tide softball team drops state tournament opener to Needham Everett girls complete memorable GBL title-winning season with several players earning postseason awards By Joe McConnell he Everett High School softball team (18-2 regular season, 18-3 overall) lost just three games throughout the spring season, but unfortunately one of those defeats occurred during the Division 1 state tournament in the preliminary round against host Needham last Friday afternoon (June 2), 12-0. The game was called after five innings, because of the mercy rule. “We faced faster pitching T before, but in this game, we just did not hit,” said coach Stacy Schiavo. “Needham did make some good plays, but we needed to hit throughout the lineup. This should not have been a 12-0 game, and waiting around did not help us, as well. We had a long bus ride, before warming up quickly, only to wait around [for the rain to lighten up]. “Overall, we had a great season,” added Schiavo. “We won the GBL title, which we need to embrace.” Ironically, both teams were close in the final power rankings, as Needham was the 31st seed with an 8-10 regular season record, while Everett ended up 34th overall out of 39 Division 1 clubs that qualified for the postseason. However, the Rockets, who play in the Emilia Maria-Babcock took off from first base during Friday’s playoff game at Claxton Field in Needham. Bay State Conference during the regular season, dropped their next game to King Philip Regional (21-2), the second seed, in the Round of 32 by the closest of margins on Tuesday, June 6, 3-1. Everett senior captain Kristi Skane, who was also the Greater Boston League MVP, pitched all five innings against the Rockets, allowing 13 hits and one walk, while striking out one. After the Everett girls were retired in order to start the game in the top of the first, the Rockets immediately put four runs up on the scoreboard in the home half to send a quick message to the Crimson Tide. Gianna Masucci works to make the out at second base. Ashley Seward was then credited with Everett’s first hit in the game, when she singled with one out in the second. However, she was stranded on first after the next two batters recorded the final two outs. The score remained the same until the Rockets exploded for four more runs in the fourth to take an 8-0 lead. In the top of the fifth, the Crimson Tide tried to make a comeback started by Seward again, who picked up her second single of the game. Gianna Masucci followed with a walk, but once again the visitors failed to get that clutch Kristi Skane on the mound for the Crimson Tide. (Advocate photos by Emily Harney) hit that would have gotten them on the scoreboard. The Rockets then invoked the mercy rule with another four runs in the bottom half of the fifth inning. At the conclusion of the game, Schiavo wanted to thank the parents for sacrificing their free time to support the team throughout the spring season, while adding, “You may not always agree with us, but we appreciate you for trusting us with your daughters. “I would also like to thank the coaching staff for always being there for both me and the girls. We would not have been as successful without you. Alexa Uga tries to catch a Needham runner at third base. “This team taught me how to be a better coach and person, and also made me realize that while it is fun to win it was more important to see each of them become better players and people. We had an amazing season that created many memories, which we can now look back on [proudly].” To the victor goes more acclaim The GBL announced its 2023 softball all-star team, and Everett senior co-captain and catcher Kayley Rossi, junior shortstop Gianna Masucci and sophomore centerfielder Emilia Maria-Babcock made the elite squad, along with Skane, who was also chosen league MVP. The senior co-captain certainly had one tremendous season in the circle and also at the plate.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 9, 2023 Page 19 ~ Legal Notice ~ Tide baseball falls to host Braintree in Division 1 state tournament preliminary round game Worthy Everett threesome chosen to the 2023 GBL all-star team to cap off exemplary campaigns By Joe McConnell N obody can say that the 2023 Everett High School (EHS) baseball team (10-11) didn’t have grit and determination to keep on striving to reach its goals. Back on March 20, when coach Joel Levine got together with his prospective players for the first day of practice in the EHS gym, there was only one thought on their minds, and that was to qualify for the Division 1 state tournament for the second straight year. And they did just that just over two months later after winning their last two out of three regular season games against Greater Lawrence and Mystic Valley Regional Charter School. They then played the waiting game, while also practicing some more, before the tournament pairings were announced on May 31, when they found out they will be heading to Braintree the next day to take on the Wamps (11-11) in a preliminary round game. The host team was the 23rd seed, while the Everett boys ended up 42nd . Despite scoring the first run of the game, the Crimson Tide eventually fell to Braintree, 9-3. For their efforts, the Wamps moved on to play St. John’s Prep (13-8, 10th vincingly in the Round of 32, 9-1. The Eagles were now Sweet 16-bound, and Catholic Conference rival Boston College High (13-8, seventh seed) provided the competition on June 7 in Dorchester after press deadline. Those Dorchester Eagles shutout Barnstable (14-8, 26th seed) in their Round of 32 encounter. In what turned out to be their final game of the year, the Tide jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the second on an RBI single by Matt Turilli. But the lead did not last long. After a few Everett defensive miscues that loaded the bases with two outs, Braintree’s Jack Fitzgerald belted a grand slam to get his teammates on the scoreboard for the first time in the game. “Matt (Turilli) (4 Innings, 3 hits, 1 earned run) threw the ball extremely well, but unfortunately his only mistake was hit out of the park,” said Levine. Braintree tacked on a few more, but Everett was still scratching and clawing to narrow the deficit. Omar Marshall (2-4) was credited with an RBI single, and Alex Lara (1-3) had a run-producing double to account for the other two Tide runs. Nordeivy Santana also contributed to the offense with two hits. “I’m extremely proud of seed) in Danvers on June 5, where they lost rather conVOTES | FROM PAGE 1 Ward 3 School Committee member Jeanne Cristiano said six weeks ago, the School Committee gave her a proficient rating, and now they want to tell her to get lost? “I think she’s fabulous, visionary, and connects with students like we’ve never seen before,” Cristiano said. “I think we should have community meetings this summer to see what other people think of her.” School Committee member Cynthia Sarnie asked Mangan to explain the process. Since the Mass. Assoc. of School Superintendents and what this team has accomplished this season,” said Levine. “At the beginning of the Collins Center at UMass/ Amherst chose to sit this one out, they’d have to find an alternate search firm. It could take a month or so to find a screening committee. The process would involve public hearings, a screening committee, who would select 2-4 finalists to be presented before the School Committee.

CATALDO, CPA, CFP, MST, ESQUIRE. AICPA Personal Financial Specialist Designee ~ Legal Notice ~ CITY OF EVERETT RELOCATING OUT OF MASSACHUSETTS FOR ESTATE TAX SAVINGS I f you were to move to Florida, Texas, New Hampshire, or to any other state that has no estate tax, or to a state with a much higher estate tax exemption than Massachusetts, you still need to be aware that if you own real estate in Massachusetts, you will most likely have to pay a Massachusetts estate tax. Let’s say you have a rental property in Boston worth $750,000 and you live in Florida. You also have $1million in stocks, bonds and savings accounts. The Estate Tax Bureau in Massachusetts will require you to file a Massachusetts estate tax return. If you divide $750,000 by $1,750,000, you arrive at 42.86 percent of your total estate located in Massachusetts. You would then calculate the Massachusetts estate tax based upon the $1,750,000. After that initial tax is calculated, you would then multiply it by 42.86 percent to arrive at the balance due to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In this example, the initial PUBLIC HEARING FOR PETITION FROM MASSACHUSETTS ELECTRIC COMPANY D/B/A NATIONAL GRID OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS To all parties interested in the public hearing. Be it hereby ordered: Massachusetts Electric Company d/b/a National Grid of North Andover, Massachusetts, that it desires to construct a line of underground electric conduits, including the necessary sustaining and protecting fixtures, under and across the public way or ways hereinafter named. The following are the streets and highways referred to: Plan # 30783332 Norman St & Air Force Rd - National Grid to install beginning at a point approximately 40 feet northwest of the centerline of the intersection of Norman St & Air Force Rd and continuing approximately 10 feet in a northeast direction. National Grid is petitioning on behalf of the customer to excavate the sidewalk to install (1) 3” PVC conduit to serve a street light control cabinet owned by the City of Everett. Wherefore it prays that after due notice and hearing as provided by law, it be granted permission to excavate the public highways and to run and maintain underground electric conduits, together with such sustaining and protecting fixtures as it may find necessary for the transmission of electricity, said underground conduits to be located substantially in accordance with the plan filed herewith marked: Norman St & Air Force Rd - Everett - Massachusetts. Hearing to be held with the Everett City Council, held on Monday at 7:00PM, on the 26th of June, 2023 at the Everett City Council Chambers, 3rd Floor, Everett City Hall. June 09, 2023 Massachusetts estate tax would approximate $81,000. You would then multiply $81,000 x 42.86 percent to arrive at a balance due to the Commonwealth of $34,717. One way to avoid this $34,717 estate tax is to place the rental real estate into a limited liability company (LLC). Once title is transferred to the LLC, you will own a membership interest in the LLC which is similar to owning stock in a corporation. As a Florida resident, the value of the membership interest in the LLC (i.e. the value of the real estate) will not be part of your Massachusetts taxable estate thereby eliminating the need to file Form M-706, Massachusetts Estate Tax Return. If you are a resident of Florida, if you decide to keep your old primary residence in Massachusetts to reside there during the summer months for example, if you place that residence into an LLC, you may not be able to claim the capital gain exclusion of $500,000 for a married couple upon the sale of your primary residence. However, if the old primary residence was owned by you in your own name for at least two of the five years prior to the sale, you would still be able to claim the $500,000 exclusion even if for three of those five preceding years, title was in the name of the LLC. If the rental property located in Massachusetts is held by the LLC and you are the only owner of the membership interest, then no separate tax return needs to be filed for the LLC as it is a single member LLC for tax purposes. Likewise, if a Trust owns the membership interest in the LLC, it is still considered to be a single member LLC and no separate tax returns need to be filed. The rent income and expenses are reported on Schedule E. If two or more individuals or two or more Trusts own membership interests in the LLC, then partnership income tax returns would need to be filed. If a partnership income tax return needs to be filed, each member of the LLC will receive a K-1 form in order to report his or her distributive share of the net rental income or loss on his or her individual income tax return.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 9, 2023 Page 21 Say nr Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller What Happens if You Work While Receiving Social Security? Dear Savvy Senior, I started drawing my Social Security retirement benefi ts back in 2021 when I was forced to retire early, but I’m now interested going back to work part-time. Will this aff ect my benefi ts, and if so, how much? Back to Work Dear Back, You can collect Social Security retirement benefits and work at the same time but depending on how old you are and how much you earn, some or all of your benefits could be temporarily withheld. Here’s how it works. SSA Earning Rules Social Security says that if you’re under your full retirement age and are collecting benefi ts, then you can earn up to $21,240 in 2023 without jeopardizing any of your Social Security if you don’t reach your full retirement age this year. But if you earn more than the $21,240 limit, you’ll lose $1 in benefi ts for every $2 over that amount. Full retirement age is 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954, but it rises in two-month increments every birth year to age 67 for those born in 1960 and later. You can fi nd your full retirement age at SSA.gov/benefi ts/retirement/planner/ageincrease.html. In the year you reach your full retirement age, a less stringent rule applies. If that happens in 2023, you can earn up to $56,520 from January to the month of your birthday with no penalty. But if you earn more than $56,520 during that time, you’ll lose $1 in benefi ts for every $3 over that limit. And once your birthday passes, you can earn any amount by working without your benefi ts being reduced at all. Wages, bonuses, commissions, and vacation pay all count toward the income limits, but pensions, annuities, investment earnings, interest, capital gains and government or military retirement benefi ts do not. To fi gure out how much your specifi c earnings will aff ect your benefi ts, see the Social Security Retirement Earnings Test Calculator at SSA. gov/OACT/COLA/RTeffect. html. It’s also important to know that if you do lose some or all of your Social Security benefi ts because of the earning limits, they aren’t lost forever. When you reach full retirement age, your benefi ts will be recalculated to a higher amount to make up for what was withheld. For more information on how working can aff ect your Social Security benefi ts see SSA.gov/benefi ts/retirement/ planner/whileworking.html. Be Mindful of Taxes Too In addition to the Social Security rules, you need to factor in Uncle Sam too. Because working increases your income, it might make your Social Security benefi ts taxable. Here’s how it works. If the sum of your adjusted gross income, nontaxable interest, and half of your Social Security benefi ts is between $25,000 and $34,000 for individuals ($32,000 and $44,000 for couples), you have to pay tax on up to 50 percent of your benefi ts. Above $34,000 ($44,000 for couples), you could pay on up to 85 percent, which is the highest portion of Social Security that is taxable. About a third of all people who get Social Security have to pay income taxes on their benefi ts. For information, call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of publication 915 “Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits,” or you can see it online at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf. In addition to the federal government, 12 states – Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia – tax Social Security benefi ts to some extent too. If you live in one of these states, you’ll need to check with your state tax agency for details. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

MARY GERACE - Chairman Roberta Suppa - Clerk of the Board of Appeals June 02, 09, 2023 LIKE US ON FACEBOOK (MSO) has received information from four residents alleging they have been contacted by individuals posing as members of the MSO. In one call, the scammers utilized the name of a current MSO employee, while in three others the perpetrators actually provided the name of an employee of another area law enforcement agency. “By utilizing the names of real correction offi cers, deputy sheriff s and police offi cers, these perpetrators are trying to lend an additional layer of creditability to their scams,” said Middlesex Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian. “Fortunately, in all four of the recently reported cases, most of the those contacted quickly realized the calls were fraudulent and none lost any money.” In each of the cases reported to the MSO, perpetrators indicated they were calling to discuss legal matters including outstanding warrants. In one case, the scammer claimed the person he was calling had failed to appear in court as an expert witness and was subject to arrest, however the victim could avoid arrest if she used Venmo to pay a $4,000 fi ne. “No legitimate member of law enforcement will ever ask a member of the public to pay a fi ne using Venmo, bitcoin or by wire transfer,” said Sheriff Koutoujian. “This is tell-tale sign that you are dealing with a scammer and should immediately hang up the phone.” Residents who receive scam calls in which individuals identify themselves as MSO deputies may contact the MSO at 978-667-1711 and ask to speak with the Inner Perimeter Security (IPS) Unit. Individuals are also encouraged to notify their local police department.

Lambert made a motion, seconded by Barros, to refer this to the next elected School Committee in 2024. The motion was defeated, 6-3. “The public made it clear at that time that they were looking for someone outside Everett,” Lambert said. “It was a trust issue.” Cristiano asked why the Collins Center and Mass. Association of School Superintendents didn’t want to become involved. Mangan said they said “they’d sit it out,” but they didn’t elaborate as to why. “I ’m concerned about spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayers money,” Cristiano said. “I used to work in the private sector, so I know how much these headhunters’ cost.” Barros said if two organizations who normally help out with the selection process are choosing to lose money by not getting involved, shame on the School Committee. “They’re rejecting money, because it’s so bad what this body is trying to do,” Barros said. “They hire superintendents across the commonwealth — shame on us.” However, Ward 1 School Committee member Millie St. Anthony’s Church Flea Market & Bazaar Saturday, June 17 from 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM Featuring Crafts, Nick-Nacks & So Much More! ~ Admission Only .50 Cents ~ For info, call Linda: (781) 910-8615 All proceeds benefit St. Anthony’s Church Cardillo thought this vote was imperative. “You need time to go forward with this,” Cardillo said. “I remember sitting at the library, and no one had made any suggestions.” Cristiano asked Mangan what an outside agency would know about hiring someone in Everett. Mangan said the two agencies would likely charge a fee. Ward 6 Vice Chairman Michael McLaughlin said he’s enjoyed working with Tahiliani, adding members are making it personal when it’s not. “It doesn’t exclude her from the process,” McLaughlin said. “Mangan said she could apply.” He feels an outside agency should come in to help choose. Cristiano asked if he was looking at her instead of the room as a whole while talking. McLaughlin said that wasn’t his intention. McLaughlin said Mangan’s request was thoughtful and well laid out. Lambert asked if members are afraid of what voters want. “What’s the rush?” Lambert said. “You’re bad at keeping secrets.” She was quick to note she was looking at Mangan because he’s the chair, and not at him personally. Mangan said he’s not afraid, and he ceased debate.
