(Advocate photo by Tara Vocino) City Council balks at backing voter-approved audit as Beacon Hill feud heads to court By Barbara Taormina I n the 2024 election, more than 9,500 Revere residents joined 72 percent of Massachusetts voters and voted in favor of giving State Auditor Diana DiZoglio the authority to audit the Massachusetts Legislature. However, Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka refused to cooperate, claiming there are constitutional issues involved, and the question of the audit is now headed to the Supreme Judicial Court. This week, Councillor-at-Large Michelle Kelley presented a motion that the council send a formal letter to the Massachusetts Legislature, including members of the General Court, the Offi ce of the State Auditor and other appropriate state offi cials, expressing the City’s support for the implementation of an audit of the Massachusetts Legislature as approved by the voters. “This motion simply asks whether the council wants to send a letter in support of our voters. It does not create any new policy or obligation. It is communication. We would be following the lead of Reading, which has already done so. We have the opportunity to show we are one of the fi rst municipalities to stand behind our voters on this,” Kelley told fellow councillors. Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya said she felt the motion was out of order. “I have concerns about the role of this body in this matter,” she said. “The Revere City Council is a municipal body, and we do not have any jurisdiction over the internal operations of the Massachusetts Legislature. The responsibility for implementation of the audit lies within the appropriate state entities, not us. The bottom line is this motion is out of order and beyond the jurisdiction of this council. I don’t think it is appropriate for us to vote on it.” Councillor-at-Large Joanne McKenna felt the council should let the case play out in court. “It’s in litigation, and where it is in litigation, I think we should stay out of it as a city,” said McKenna. Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio agreed. “This is heading for the courts and there are real legal and constitutional issues involving separation of powers…” said Argenzio. “We should allow the process to play out. Sending a letter stating the obvious is just symbolic, not substantive. A letter from us holds no weight, it is unnecessary.” Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri said he respects the motion and voted for the audit but couldn’t support sending a letter. “I don’t want to get into a back-and-forth contest, or have anyone look at us with ill will,” said Silvestri. “The budget is coming up, and they are approving money coming to the cities and towns. I just don’t want to get into that.” Council President Anthony Zambuto said that over the years he has not supported similar letters and resolutions. But this motion, in support of Revere voters, was different. “This letter won’t mean a hill of beans, but to not support it would mean I couldn’t sleep tonight,” said Zambuto. The council voted 8-3 against the motion with Kelley and Zambuto voting in favor and Silvestri voting present.

Thea, a tenth grade student from Lynnfield High School, won the contest for this year’s theme of “Kind People Are the Best Kind of People.” Her handdrawn poster illustrates the importance of acting with compassion, care and understanding toward everyone, including oneself. SRO Chase, a Boston Marathon bombing survivor, shared his perspective on trauma, resilience, the power of kindness and how it can transform individuals and communities. With over 25 years of experience serving at-risk youth as a special education teacher, then as a police offi cer and now as an SRO, Offi cer Chase uses the knowledge he gained in education and law enforcement to teach his audience to lead with strength under pressure, build a positive culture through trust, and create environments where people feel safe, understood and supported. Ivy Watts, founder of Ivy Watts Speaks, shared her story of the mental health struggles she experienced as an AllAmerican student-athlete and Top 30 NCAA Woman of the Year Finalist. She spoke about the anxiety, burnout and selfdoubt she dealt with despite appearing successful and confident to outsiders. She explained her healing journey and taught students handson self care tools to increase mental wellness, self-love, confi dence and resiliency. Watts has shared her story with over 200,000 corporate professionals, students and coaches through keynotes, workshops and somatic coaching. Watts, who is Mental Health First Aid Certifi ed, is also a published author and the founder of the blog, “Beautifully Simply You.” Participants commended the conference for the opportunities it provided students to connect with each other and the motivation it inspired. “Thank you so much for the invitation to the Middle School Leadership Conference by MPY,” said Ottoson Middle School Peer Leaders and Student Sponsors Vicki Ross, Kalina Akenson and Kira Weiss. “The planning was very thoughtful in giving natural break times for students to get to know each other and or to refl ect during the break. The speakers were inspirational and our students are excited to implement what they have learned.” A second middle school student conference will be held on Friday, March 27, at Worcester Technical High School.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2026 Page 3 Massachusetts House Passes Fair Share Supplemental Budget Bill invests in public transportation and education, addresses FY26 defi ciencies and delays implementation of federal corporate tax changes passed in the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” B OSTON — Wednesday, March 18, 2026 — The Massachusetts House of Representatives today passed a $1.8 billion supplemental budget that invests $885 million in public transportation and $417 million in public education and funds several Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) defi ciencies. The bill passed today also includes the tax conformity legislation fi led by Governor Healey that delays the state’s alignment with the corporate tax changes passed by Congress in the OB3 Act last year. “From significant investments in public transportation and public education, to support for DTA caseworkers and expenses related to the World Cup, to fiscally prudent tax conformity measures — this legislation is representative of the responsible approach that the House will continue to take as we navigate a period of signifi cant economic uncertainty,” said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “I want to thank Chairman Michlewitz for his hard work, as well as all my colleagues in the House for recognizing the importance of the investments and reforms that this legislation makes.” “The use of these one-time surplus funds provides us with a unique opportunity to better strength the Commonwealth in numerous ways. By further improving our educational and transportation sectors we will build off the work we have done in the last several budget cycles with a judicious use of the Fair Share funds. The tax changes contained in this bill will help support the state’s economic competitiveness, while giving us time to absorb the expected loss in revenue,” said Representative Aaron Michlewitz, Chair of the House Committee on Ways & Means (D-Boston). “I want to thank Speaker Mariano and all our House colleagues for their input and support on this critical funding legislation.” “I’m proud to support this supplemental budget, which delivers meaningful investments in public transportation and education while responsibly addressing our fi scal obligations. I’m especially grateful to Speaker Mariano and Chairman Michlewitz for their leadership in advancing a thoughtful, balanced approach during a time of economic uncertainty,” said Representative Jessica Giannino (D-Revere). “Working closely with my colleagues in the House delegation, I am proud to have helped secure critical funding that directly benefi ts MASS HOUSE | SEE Page 4 Jessica Ann Giannino State Representative Jeff rey Rosario Turco State Representative Lawrence A.

Under the bill, the Research and Experimental expense deduction will be delayed one year, the deductions for the Modifi cation of Business Interest, Depreciable Asset Expensing, Qualifi ed Production Properties will be delayed two years, and the Modifi cation of Qualifi ed Opportunity Zone Investments program will also be delayed two years. However, should the ballot question to lower the state income tax from 5 percent to 4 percent pass in November, which would result in a $5 billion revenue loss when fully implemented, the Commonwealth would permanently decouple from these tax credits, preventing them from going into eff ect.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2026 Page 5 FIRE SAFETY | FROM Page 1 es and discharges that power during peak demand. “This motion is not about taking a position on the project,” said Kelley. “It’s about assuring public safety.” According to state offi cials, battery energy storage systems are an emerging technology that will decrease utility bills, make the grid more reliable and enable the region to use renewable energy more effi ciently. But the systems are meeting increasing opposition from residents who don’t want the facilities in their communities. During the public comment segment of the council meeting, Beach Street resident Corey O’Hara expressed her opposition to the project. “I want to get this out, so the public knows what’s going on… At this point, I don’t think anybody in the public knows about this project,” said O’Hara. She went on to say that the industrial-sized facility will have 57 batteries and if there were a fire, it would create toxic fumes. “This project deserves transparency. We deserve better,” O’Hara told the council. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, BESS fi res create problems for fi rst responders due to the diffi culty of extinguishing lithium-ion battery fi res. The EPA also warns there are potential health impacts from emissions and a need to properly dispose of contaminated burned batteries. However, the EPA also notes that despite some high-profi le incidents, improvements in BESS quality and design have led to a decrease in the number of failure incidents. The Electric Power Research Institute tracks information on BESS fi res and incidents. Since it was launched, the EPRI has documented numerous incidents, particularly following high-profi le fi res in South Korea and the United States. A 2024 fi re at the Gateway Energy Storage Facility in San Diego, California, involved 15,000 lithium-ion batteries and saw fl are-ups for several days. In Chandler, Arizona, a containerized unit burned for more than 10 days, requiring continual cooling. Warwick, New York, saw two days of fi re from batteries, which reports suggested were aff ected by the weather. The EPRI also noted that from 2018 to 2023 there was a 97percent drop in BESS failure rates. “When this came to light, all the questions I got were about fi res, fi re safety, hazardous material,” said Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio, who commended the motion. Ward 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro said he will be happy to hear from the fi re department about the proposed facility. He said Flatiron Energy, the company that will develop the facility, is planning a full presentation for the council. “We’ll do our part to bring transparency to this,” said Cogliandro. Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri said he spoke with the attorney for Flatiron Energy. Silvestri said the company will provide all the necessary training and equipment the Revere Fire Department would need to suppress a fi re at the facility. Silvestri said he also learned that the batteries would be housed in self-contained units to prevent any spread of fi re. Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya focused on the motion and public safety. “We owe it to residents to ensure every precaution is in place,” she said. The council was concerned For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers 781-286-8500 about more than BESS safety and technology. City Council President Anthony Zambuto seemed undecided about which is more disagreeable, lithium-ion batteries or the Dover Amendment. “We’ve seen this more and more, where decisions are driven at the state level and the role of local government is more limited than people expect,” said Kelley, referring to the amendment. The amendment emerged from a 1951 case involving the Town of Dover, which was using zoning bylaws to keep religious schools out of residential neighborhoods. The Legislature stepped in and created laws that protect religious, educational and agricultural land uses from zoning regulations. Silvestri said he wanted to see how the BESS project was protected under a law meant to shield religious, educational and agricultural uses. But over time the Legislature has expanded the Dover Amendment to include projects in sync with the state’s agenda and policies. Solar energy land uses are now protected under the Dover Amendment. “The Dover Amendment is Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order? Do you have an update Will, Health Care Proxy or Power of Attorney? If Not, Please Call for a Free Consultation. 14 Proctor Avenue, Revere (781) 284-5657 not settled law as of yet,” said Kelley, who added that legislation coming in June or July will require BESS projects to go before a state siting board. The council voted to hold a public hearing with Fire Department offi cials.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2026 Page 9 MBTA Expands Real-Time Transit Information into Community Libraries B OSTON — The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) today shares it is growing partnerships with community libraries as part of the Transit Screens @ Libraries initiative, which brings realtime transit information into local libraries. This initiative is expanding the reach of realtime information beyond stations and vehicles, making it easier for those who use community spaces to plan trips before they travel. Community meetings and surveys hosted by the MBTA show that riders value accurate and reliable predictions, dedicated sources of realtime information, and clear current-trip details above all else. Transit Screens @ Libraries responds directly to those needs by providing live, location-specifi c updates in places riders already use every day. Currently, Transit Screens @ Libraries is deployed at libraries across the greater Boston region; Berry Library at Salem State University, Brookline Public Library, Chelsea Public Library, Robbins (Arlington) Public Library, Thayer (Braintree) Public Library, Tufts (Weymouth) Public Library, Turner Free (Randolph) Public Library, Waltham Public Library, and Framingham State Library. Libraries interested in providing real time MBTA information learn more about the free initiative at: https://www. mbta.com/about/digitaldisplay-partnership-program. “Providing real-time information in places that riders can easily access it helps riders allows the public to make informed decisions, building confi dence in using the T and minimize stress,” said Interim Secretary and General Manager Phillip Eng. “I’ve heard directly from the public that they want to know when their train or bus is arriving so they can plan their commute. Our teams listened and created solutions with the support of partners like local libraries. Modernizing the T isn’t just about track and fl eet improvements, it also means improving and providing clear, accessible communication that helps riders make informed decisions.” «The Teen Advisory Board (TAB) leaders who asked for it were thrilled to see it come together so quickly, and the other teens in our teen room have been uniformly impressed and are very thankful for the screen,” said Head of Teen Services at Robbins Library in Arlington Stephen Toropov. “With Arlington as a town basically being built around the 77 bus route, it’s a fantastic tool for the students to get around on their own terms. Even other staff members were excited, and our circulation department immediately set up a display of their own at our front desk!” “The Massachusetts Library System is thrilled to connect local libraries to this unique off ering at the MBTA. Libraries have reported that the real time transit screens are appreciated by both patrons and staff that use public transportation,” said Executive Director of the Massachusetts Library System Sarah Sogigian. “Community collaboration is essential to serve residents of the Commonwealth, and we’re pleased to have helped contribute to this success.» “Framingham State University is delighted to add enhancements for our student, faculty and staff populations, along with the broader community at large, that contribute to their ease-of-access to regional public transit systems,” said Associate Vice President of Facilities & Capital Planning at Framingham State University Ryan Hacker. “Our proximity to the MBTA Commuter Rail is linked through the Metro West Regional Transit Authority bus service and provides a critical connection for users of the Whittemore Library on our Campus to the regional population.” The initiative is powered by open-source software developed by the MBTA’s Technology Innovation Department (TID), which began digital signage initiatives in 2019. Libraries can deploy screens in ways that fi t their space and budget — from low-cost Raspberry Pi setups to commercial displays — making the program both fl exible and scalable. Transit Screens @ Libraries is led in partnership with The Lab @ MassDOT, which supports testing and scaling low-cost, community-centered solutions. The Lab evaluated the fi rst year of the program through observations and qualitative research with library staff , helping refi ne the model and demonstrate how statewide collaboration can improve public services. Transit Screens @ Libraries complements the MBTA’s broader digital signage eff orts, which include installing realtime displays inside and outside rapid transit stations and at bus stops across the system. The MBTA plans to explore expanding this model to universities, museums, town halls, senior centers, and other public buildings.

REVERE CIT Y COUNCIL ROUNDUP By Th e Advocate T he City Council met this week with Jim McKay, the outdoor lighting manager for National Grid, to discuss double utility poles and street light outages. McKay explained that the back up in correcting double poles and streetlight outages involves the fact that poles are partially owned by National Grid and Verizon. National Grid is responsible for setting the poles, while Verizon is responsible for removing them. McKay explained that transferring wires goes in order of the companies and agencies place on the poles. And that takes time. Councillor-at-Large Joanne McKenna asked that something be done about fl oating poles that are attached to other poles but several feet off the ground. McKenna said those poles are a safety problem. McKay told councillors they can contact him directly with safety concerns about poles and streetlights. Councillors were grateful for the discussion, which they had been asking for months. Zoning Board report T he council voted in favor of granting a 90-day extension for Ardit Kraja’s request for a special permit to reconstruct a preexisting nonconforming structure, a garage, by constructing a twoand-a-half story, two-family dwelling on Lot A Elmwood Street. Councillors granted a special permit to Andrea Garcia, of Revere, to modify an existing nonconforming structure and use from a tow company to a restaurant at 855 Broadway, Revere. T Congratulations to all he council voted unanimously to confi rm the appointment of Anthony Parziale to the Conservation Commission and the reappointment of Laila Pietri to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Board. The reappointment of Sean Bruno as a Constable for the City of Revere was referred to the appointments subcommittee. Electricity discount C hief of Planning and Community Development Tom Skwierawski met with the council to explain a new low-income solar program for Revere. Parallel solar energy has been developing large solar arrays throughout the state. The company is required to provide discounts for low-income residents. Parallel is working with Revere Power Choice, the city’s municipal electricity aggregation, which is a kind of group electricity buying program, to determine which households are income eligible for what Skwierawski believes will be a $350 discount on electricity rates. Council seeks update on eminent domain case T he council supported a motion from Councillors Anthony Cogliandro and Joanne McKenna requesting Mayor Keefe and the city solicitor to meet with the council in executive session and provide an update on the status of the eminent domain court proceedings related to the Wonderland property. Cryptocurrency concerns C ouncillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri requested a public hearing relative to Cryptocurrency ATMs. According to Silvestri, the ATMs are scams that exploit seniors.
