THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 15, 2022 Page 15 RESNEK | FROM PAGE 14 had gone into this venture on Corey Street together, correct?” “Yes, sir,” replied Resnek. “And you have yourself writing, ‘Do you really believe the mayor does deals like this? In other cities this would be considered a conflict of interest. The kind you go to jail for.’ That’s what you write here,” asked Robbins about the article. “Yes, sir,” replied Resnek. Robbins pointed out that he (Resnek) had between June 2020 and Sept. 2021 to check with the City Clerk’s Office and the State Ethics Commission on their opinion if DeMaria had made a disclosure of interest in the Corey Street property, or to contact the Everett Co-operative Bank or the second mortgage lender or any of the contractors regarding the property deal, to which Resnek admitted he did. But again Resnek claimed he didn’t know that DeMaria and Cornelio were partners in the land deal before Sept. 2021, then he admitted he had over a year to investigate the claims and interview Cornelio about the property deal but failed to do so. Robbins then asked Resnek if he had made any notes pertaining to any conversations with anyone about the property deal prior to Sept. 2021 – but only notes created after he was sued, to which Resnek admitted was true. “And if I understand it, what happened is you created notes after the lawsuit was filed, then you read the notes that you had created and you went back two or three times to modify the notes that you had created, correct? “Yes, sir,” replied Resnek. The attorney then provided Exhibit 29, an article written by Resnek about the mayor, but this time written in May 2020 about DeMaria’s property deal. It would be 16 months later that the Leader Herald published two articles about the Corey Street land deal between DeMaria and Cornelio as it was leading up to the election. “It was no coincidence that LEGAL NOTICE CITY OF EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Hearing on an application by 657 Broadway, LLC Property located at: 657 Broadway Site Plan Review In accordance with the provisions of M.G.L Chapter 40A and with Sections 6 and 19 of the Everett Zoning Ordinance, the Everett Planning Board will conduct a public hearing on Monday, August 1, 2022 at 6:00PM in the Speaker George Keverian Room (Room 37, Everett City Hall) to consider the above-listed application for Site Plan Review.

Frederick Cafasso Chairman Everett Planning Board July 15, 22, 2022 you wrote these articles in Sept. 2021?” asked Robbins. “There’s no coincidence in it,” replied Resnek. Robbins asked him if he and Philbin wanted the mayor to lose; Resnek admitted as such. “Philbin tells you – has been telling you for a long time – he wants DeMaria to lose, right?” “Yes,” said Resnek. Resnek then attempted to dismiss his stories riddled with allegations as “the stuff of dreams,” claiming they were all made up. Robbins asked Resnek if he discussed with Philbin the content of the Sept. 2021 stories that accused DeMaria of extortion, theft and threatening Cornelio’s life leading up to the primary election; Resnek said he did, as well as with DeMaria’s primary opponents former Councillor Fred Capone and Gerly Adrian. “I communicated every day with them,” said Resnek. “You communicated with Mr. Capone every day?” asked Robbins. “Yes, sir,” stated Resnek, saying they spoke about the mayoral campaign.
