School Committee Member, Facilities Director Accosted at Meeting Bully barred from all Everett school property and events By James Mitchell W Advocate Online: www.advocatenews.net e know there are bullies at school but who knew there were bullies at School Committee meetings. According to a police report fi led by Everett Police Patrolman Stephen Ramunno, who was working as the School Resource Offi cer for the Everett Public Schools on Monday, June 5, at approximately 6:45 p.m. an individual was allegedly accosting several individuals, including school board member Jason Marcus and EPS Facilities Director Robert Moreschi at the School Committee meeting in the EHS library. According to the offi cer’s report, he was informed by Marcus and Moreschi that a man identifi ed as Brian Sylvain had allegedly accosted Marcus while outside the library where the School Committee meetings are held, approaching Marcus and verbally abusing him with expletives because he didn’t vote to approve Supt. of Schools Priya Tahiliani’s contract, stating, “You better watch out, you piece of s__t.” The school Facilities Director also told police that Sylvain approached him inside the library and, after allegedly calling him, “one of the mayor’s cronies,” allegedly asked him to “step outside” as he was walking towards the seats in the audience. Responding officers were called to the library and, according to the report, Sylvain got up from his seat and again approached Moreschi, “telling him to go outside.” Sylvain was immediately escorted from the library and the school grounds, and he was informed that he was trespassed indefinitely from all Everett Public School buildings and events.

The presentation will expand your knowledge about the war in Ukraine and examine the expected and unintended consequences the conflict has caused. Quinlan will also share information you most likely are not aware of based on his unique experience with Russia. Quinlan has 35 years of experience in relations with the former Soviet Union and Russia, including living in Moscow for five years and more than 60 trips to Russia and back since 1986 with his most recent trip being in 2018. He has visited Ukraine more than a dozen times and was interviewed by the Pentagon about a possible successor to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The highlight of his Russian experiences was being asked by former U.S. President George W. Bush to assist him and former First Lady Laura Bush with two projects in Moscow. The first project was a tour of a secret Soviet space research institute with Wally Schirra, who is one of the original seven NASA astronauts chosen for Project Mercury, which was the United States’ first effort to put humans into space in 1959. The second project was maintaining a 30year friendship with former Russian ambassador to the U.N. Vitaly Churkin. All are invited and encouraged to join us for this informative presentation.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 16, 2023 Page 15 Senate tax bill spurs mixed-income housing production 23 Gateway City mayors and managers write to state legislators for HDiP Note: This info is from a June 12, 2023, post by MassINC staff .. T his week the Massachusetts Senate revealed its much-anticipated tax relief package. Mirroring language from Governor Maura Healey’s proposal, the bill includes provisions increasing the Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP) to $57 million in FY 24 to clear a lengthy backlog of pending projects, followed by $30 million annually each year thereafter. MassINC anticipates that this expansion could create up to 12,500 homes in walkable downtowns and transit areas in our Gateway Cities, representing an investment of over $4 billion where it’s most needed. To help meet the urgent need for more income-restricted units, the Senate bill also increases the annual cap on the state’s Low Income Housing Tax Credit from $40 million to $60 million. Together, these two programs off er a powerful toolkit to foster more mixed-income neighborhoods. While the House tax plan did not include these changes, House members have long supported increasing the annual HDIP cap. Last July the body unanimously approved an economic development package with a comparable HDIP increase. MassINC encourages the House to embrace the Senate housing provisions as the bodies work together on a compromise package. Gateway City leaders have persistently made the case that HDIP is critical to unlocking the potential of Gateway Cities to address the state’s acute housing shortage and communities that want to build dense multifamily housing and rebuild their historic downtowns, but face diffi cult fi nancing barriers and regulatory challenges. This week mayors and managers from 23 Gateway Cities sent a letter to legislative leaders asking them to increase HDIP so that they can begin construction on dozens of planned housing developments that cannot obtain private capital without the HDIP incentive. Dozens of economic development organizations and housing developers have made a similar appeal. The legislature faces a complex task balancing the tradeoffs of the various tax changes that have been put forward to make the Commonwealth more competitive for businesses and more livable for residents. However, the central role that housing production can play in strengthening our Commonwealth is not up for debate. Massachusetts has not built suffi cient housing to keep pace with the growth of our population for over two decades; Gateway City housing markets have not contributed at their full potential for an even longer span. Each year that we underproduce, the hole gets deeper and the solutions more costly. A tax relief package with provisions that take a meaningful chunk out of the state’s housing crisis will put all businesses in a better position to grow. Equally important, greater housing production will relieve the stress on residents in all parts of the state. Too many parents lie awake concerned that their children will not be able to aff ord to stay here, or that they themselves will be pushed out of Massachusetts by rising rents. A tax package that makes a diff erence on the housing front would be welcome news to all this summer. Dear Senate President Spilka and SWM Chairman Rodrigues: We, the undersigned Mayors and Managers representing Gateway Cities, respectfully ask you to include the Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP) in the Senate’s forthcoming tax reform package. We support the Healey-Driscoll language contained in H.42, An Act creating tax relief for aff ordability, competitiveness and equity, or the very similar language in H.2724/S.1779 sponsored by Rep. Antonio Cabral and Sen. John Cronin. Both versions include a one-year increase to address the program backlog, and an ongoing increase in the state tax credit cap from $10M to $30M. HDIP has been funded at its original pilot level ($10M) since its creation in 2013. Given its clear success in creating new multifamily housing in our downtowns and transit areas, right-sizing the program to meet the real need has been a top Gateway City priority for several years. We thank you for your past support, having TAX BILL | SEE PAGE 18
