THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 2023 Page 13 SECOND TERM | FROM Page 1 sent them on Beacon Hill. It has been a privilege to serve in the House, and I am looking forward to continuing the work upon the new session. This year was very diff erent than my fi rst swearing in. Two years ago, I stood alone with my classmates. There were no friends or supporters to celebrate and no family to embrace. This year as I took my oath of office, I was surrounded by colleagues and friends, old and new, my family and theirs. It was a blessing to be able to share this important moment in my life with the people I cherish most. It is an honor and a privilege to be the 215th woman to be elected to the Massachusetts legislature.” Revere’s constituents have observed and supported Rep.

The Fire Department also received a high-water rescue vehicle, a huge truck with big tires and plenty of highground clearance that should assure residents in parts of the city prone to flooding that the Fire Department has their backs. “We have 100year storms coming every year now,” said Bright, who added that he now feels better about the department’s ability to respond to diff erent emergencies. In recent years, especially pandemic years, Revere has struggled with a need for additional equipment. Last year, the department was using a borrowed Chelsea fire truck when it bottomed out on Cushman Avenue on the way to a call, which caused extensive damage, placing that truck out of commission. “Our neighbors have helped out,” said Bright, adding that every fi re department is hurting for equipment. “It’s not just a Revere Fire Department problem,” he said. “Everyone’s scrambling to keep apparatus.” And it’s not just fi nding the roughly $750,000 for a new fi re engine. It’s also a challenge to continually repair and maintain the new equipment. There are state and federal grants available to help local fire departments stay equipped, and Bright said he is always looking out for those opportunities. But in a Facebook post, he thanked Mayor Brian Arrigo and CFO Richard Viscay for fi nding the funding for the new trucks. Like other city services, the fi re department has endured staffing and budget cuts while the city has continued to grow. “We’re slowly gaining back to where we need to be,” said Bright. “This will help us a lot.” But Bright also acknowledged there are still huge projects going up in Revere and nobody is exactly sure where they’ll need to be until they arrive. “We’re trying to lay the track for it now,” he said. 5.
