Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2021 COUNCILLOR | FROM PAGE 4 school system. Federal and state grant monies are required continuously to maintain our high standard of education and to advance growth in other fields of education. If I am re-elected, I will continue to advocate that our city captures every opportunity available not only in education but citywide for infrastructure improvements, parks, recreation, senior services, veteran services, and green space. My constituents rely on me to make certain that the City of Everett is run properly and that services such as public works, police and fire, trash pickup, street cleaning and many other City services are to the satisfaction of my constituents. I keep a close eye on all of the city’s services and I am always available if there is an issue with any of them. As your Ward 5 City Councillor, I will continue to advocate for more jobs, housing, medical services, and counseling to our veterans. I will advocate for the hiring of more diverse and qualified police officers and firemen. I will fight to reduce businesses taxes, create additional tax revenue streams, apply good business practices when adopting future capital improvements so that our next generation will not be burdened with the expenditures that are currently required. I support the creation of more green spaces while at the same time providing separate residential water meters for lawn and garden usage to eliminate the present enjoined tax on sewerage. I would also like to adopt committees to be run by students who are mentored by qualified adults to engage in city wide classrooms to discuss opiate addiction as it is time for student groups to become actively involved in curbing this dilemma. As your Ward 5 City Councillor, I will continue to work with our State Senator and Representative, both of whom I have worked with for the past 16 years on many different endeavors for legislation that is necessary to benefit the residents of the City of Everett. I will continue to read every line of the Mayor’s City budget and will continue reviewing every penny spent to ensure your dollars are spent wisely. I have always embraced the philosophy that all tax revenues must be wisely spent and that there must be accountability. My qualifications and many years of experience as your Ward 5 City Councillor, coupled with my legislative knowledge, are just a few of the many reasons why I should be re-elected. I have always been available to my constituents during my tenure as Ward 5 City Councillor and will continue to be available to speak to any constituent about any issue at 617-407-0860. If you are not familiar with me, please ask your friends and neighbors about me and what I stand for. They will tell you that I have been a dedicated public servant to our community since day one of when I started serving as your Ward 5 City Councillor. I am not afraid to make the tough decisions that will benefit the residents of Ward 5. On November 2, I am asking you for your vote to continue my hard work and advocacy on behalf the residents of Ward 5 so that YOUR VOICE continues to be heard at City Hall. Thank you very much for your consideration.
