This week’s meeting was by far the loudest, and most unruly with shouting, interrupting speakers and plenty of gavel pounding. Although it wasn’t as long as the high school building project meeting, speakers managed to hit every point for Wonderland and the existing site which speakers have pressed over the past several weeks. The City Council voted to inform the Revere High School Building Committee that they support moving forward with the existing site. But that wasn’t entirely clear because of the way the votes fell. The City Council’s Ways and Means Subcommittee, which has been plowing through the details of the city’s plan to pay for the new school, voted four to two against Councillor-at-Large Gerry Visconti’s motion to support the existing site as the preferred option for the new high school. But rather than present the subcommittee’s decision clearly, Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto presented a minority report that allowed the full council to vote on Visconti’s motion. Councillors Steve Morabito, Ira Novoselsky, John Powers, Marc Silvestri and Patrick Keefe, who have all supported moving ahead with the plan to build at the Wonderland site, voted against Visconti’s motion. However, Visconti’s motion passed with the votes of the remaining six councillors. “A few weeks ago, the City $3.39 GALLON We accept: MasterCard * Visa * & Discover Price Subject to Change without notice 100 Gal.

Morabito condemned Cogliano’s hate speech, which occurred during an online conversation with a Lynn resident who criticized Cogliano’s role in ANTHONY COGLIANO Board of Selectmen Chair a municipal trash contract. “Adding to the insult, the selectman refused to apologize for his words,” said Morabito.

The permit includes a list of conditions from the Site Plan Review Committee and the Zoning Subcommittee that outline water, sewer and drainage requirements, a ban on rental units, a two-bedroom limit for each unit, and requirements for front yard space and landscaping. Attorney Gerry D’Ambrosio, who represented Casoli, repeatedly stressed that the developer could, by right, build a new sixunit multifamily to replace what was lost. But D’Ambrosio told councillors Casoli wants to build something better. The new plan has underground parking that will free up space on Endicott Avenue. The building is also a few feet narrower, which increases the distance between neighbors, but it does extend farther into the backyard, leaving only 13 feet from the property line. Endicott Avenue neighbors opposed the project because of its size. The underground parking creates a fourth fl oor. They feel it will negatively impact the character of the neighborhood. Also, Andy Carey, the abutter to the rear of the proposed building, feels the rear setback is too close to his lot line. City Councillors agreed with D’Ambrosio that Casoli’s plan colleagues on the City Council in a race that continues to expand. The Arrigo campaign supporters unanimously swung their support to Keefe, acknowledging that during Keefe’s time on the Council during the Arrigo administration, the popular Ward 4 councilor was a prudent and steady voice on issues that aff ected the entire city. His deep involvement in citywide events, organizations, and issues reflected an engagement that stretched beyond the boundaries of his ward. A spokesperson for the Arrigo supporters said: “Mayor Arrigo came into offi ce nearly eight years ago and guided Revere’s government into a modernized, professional resource for every member of our community. His leadership stimulated economic growth and raised the city’s reputation as a home for businesses and families to fl ourish. “The next Mayor will take stewardship of a modern municipal government that did not exist eight years ago, a government vital to maintain the City’s well-being as we enter a new era of growth and improvement. As a City Councilor, Patrick Keefe has endorsed many of the Arrigo Administration ideals and objectives in an even-handed and thoughtful manner. We believe that he best embodies the qualities and character necessary for Revere to continue in its positive direction. We wholeheartedly support Patrick Keefe as the next Mayor of the City of Revere.” is better for the neighborhood than a building of rental apartments with transient tenants. And the underground parking is also a plus. The council voted 10-1 to approve the special permit with Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky voting against the project. Councillor Rizzo seeks residential numbers for Suff olk Downs development The City Council unanimously supported Councillor-at-Large Dan Rizzo’s request for information from the Mayor’s Offi ce about the number of Revere residents currently working for the Suff olk Downs/HYM project, including numbers for Local 22, Local 103 and other locals. Rizzo said it was up to the Revere Resident Monitoring Committee to keep count, but he wasn’t sure that was happening. “That’s information we need, and we should have it updated on a regular basis,” said Councillor-at-Large Gerry Visconti. “[Developers] always put in the requirement they will have jobs for locals, and we should be making sure our residents get fi rst preference.” City Council President Patrick Keefe said he had recently made a phone call to the representative of the plumbers local on behalf of a young Revere resident looking to join the plumbers’ union. Keefe said he was told that there was a need for more Revere residents on the job. “We need more applicants.” For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 781-286-8500 or Info@advocatenews.net Prices subject to change FLEET
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 2023 Page 3 Mass. Legislature enacts $388.6M supplemental budget Bill funds essential services relied on by vulnerable populations, extends COVID-era measures, authorizes public works bonding to support cities and towns O n March 23, 2023, the Massachusetts Legislature unanimously enacted a $388.6 million supplemental budget for Fiscal Year 2023. The legislation funds vital services that support vulnerable populations and address food insecurity, housing instability, the state’s long-term COVID-19 response, economic development, essential support services for incoming immigrants and refugees, and more. Notably, the bill extends initiatives fi rst implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as outdoor dining, remote public meeting access, and support for assisted living residences. The bill further authorizes $740.3 million in bonding to bolster the Commonwealth’s clean water and other public works projects for cities and towns, as well as to support the Commonwealth’s ability to compete for competitive federal grant funds. JEFFREY TURCO State Representative work and contributions to this supplemental budget.” “I’m proud that, among several critical investments, this supplemental budget provides support for many of the most vulnerable residents and communities in Massachusetts through funding for free school lunches, fi nancial assistance to homeless shelters facing an increase in their migrant population, and extended enhanced SNAP benefi ts,” said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “I want to thank Chairman Michlewitz and all my colleagues in the House, as well as our partners in the Senate, for prioritizing this important legislation.” “In partnership with the JESSICA GIANNINO State Representative Early in March, the House and Senate had passed diff ering versions of the supplemental budget, and on March 23 they resolved diff erences in two amendments and enacted the supplemental budget, which now goes to the Governor for her signature. “This supplemental budget ensures that our Commonwealth continues to support the most vulnerable among us while also building on the lessons we learned during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (DAshland). “I’m proud to say that the Legislature has proven once again that it has the courage to chart a course that leaves no place or person in the Commonwealth behind. I would like to thank our partners in the House, as well as Chair Rodrigues and his dedicated team at Senate Ways and Means, for their hard House, the Legislature has taken the necessary steps to keep the economy of the Commonwealth on a fi rm footing as we continue to emerge from the pandemic. The passage of this supplemental budget today utilizes robust tax revenues to its fullest eff ect, making substantial investments in economic development, housing, education, and the social service safety net. Those investments, along with a forward-thinking longterm bond authorization, will keep Massachusetts as a leader in the key economic sectors for decades to come,” said Senator Michael J. Rodrigues (D-Westport), who is Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “Thanks to the strong leadership of Senate President Spilka, and the commitment of my colleagues in the Senate, we sent a clear message to the people that we will always look to protect our marginalized communities, support our education and health care workforce, and invest in local infrastructure as the Commonwealth continues to recover from the impact of the pandemic.” “This relatively modest supplemental budget addresses some of the most pressing needs the Commonwealth is facing. Whether it is ensuring that our school children have access to free meals, essential early childcare education grants, or directing critical resources to deal with the influx of migrants coming into the Commonwealth, these funds will have an immediate and positive eff ect for the residents of the state,” said Representative Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), who is Chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means. “I want to thank Speaker Mariano for his leadership on these issues, my counterpart Senator Rodrigues, and all my colleagues for their timely action on this matter.” “This supplemental budget provides support for many of BUDGET | SEE Page 18 www.eight10barandgrille.com OPEN DAILY FOR DINNER AT 4 PM.

Patricia Ridge, Esq. ~LETTER TO THE EDITOR~ Why did members of the city council do what they do? Dear Editor, At the March 27th City Council meeting we saw: How fear and pettiness gets in the way of logic and reason. How fear of the unknown produces illogical decisions. How pettiness can trump humility at the expense of seeking a positive outcome. How negative thinking that focuses too much on “why we can’t” vs. “how we can” prevents us from moving forward. How the acts of the powerful can use the civic process to block a logical path forward to developing a collaborative dialogue and solving problems. Previous to the City Council meet the Ways & Means Committee’s voted not to advise the city council to approve the motion for pursuing a feasibility study at the existing RHS site. The city council decided to ignore that vote and approved it anyway. For a moment, there was a ray of light indicating that logic and fi nancial sensibility would prevail. And then the light was completely snuffed out. Why did this happen? One councilor expressed his understandable and, based on his comments, legitimate frustration with the city administration and school administration officials’ collaborative efforts. He went on to say that he didn’t think we could aff ord either the Wonderland site or the Existing 4.50 9 Month CD Savings make dreams possible.

I too believe that there could be better communication and collaboration amongst all parties concerned. But, the action on the part of the council amounted to “throwing the baby out with the bath water” and leaving the baby (the future of the city’s educational program) out in the cold. I too am frustrated. I am frustrated with the inability of all involved to work together for a positive outcome. I am frustrated with councilors who ignore our pleas to take logical actions that can move collaborative discussions forward. Who instead are taking negative steps that will throw the project and the city’s educational future into a state of disarray for years to come. The proper action for the council in February would have been to say, “we aren’t happy with the collaborative eff orts, we have many questions regarding the costs, and we plan to withhold our approval of the plan until that happens. This would have added months to the project not years. It would also have provided some opportunity to work on cost reductions, resolve outstanding questions and dispel any misinformation that existed. I don’t know why that didn’t happen, and I may never know why. What I do know and what I truly believe is that what we have experienced, has been a total breakdown of logical discourse and inability to take positive actions to logically and responsibly resolve this issue. It appears the that [sic] enough members of the city council who are hell bent on venting its anger with the City Administration and School Department, and who would rather pursue goals of trying to make money at Wonderland Park, have trumped all eff orts to develop a positive path forward to protect the city’s educational future. I am angry. I am trying very hard to forgive (it may take a while). But, I will never forget.

Page 6 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 2023 Resnek’s Son Testifies: My Father States Falsehoods and Just “Doesn’t Care” Publisher’s statements suggest fraudulent bankruptcy fi lings By James Mitchell J acob Resnek, son of Everett Leader Herald publisher Joshua Resnek, delivered his witness testimony in a deposition in the ongoing Defamation lawsuit fi led by Mayor Carlo DeMaria against the newspaper, Resnek, Matthew Philbin, Andrew Philbin, Sr., and Sergio Cornelio. In his deposition testimony earlier this week, Resnek’s son and supposed business partner Jacob testifi ed that all of his father's sworn testimony and statements about his ownership interest in GlobeX Services and Solutions LLC and income from GlobeX were false. According to Resnek’s son’s testimony, therefore, it would appear that either the elder Resnek fi led fraudulent statements with the Bankruptcy Court, seemingly in order to conceal his assets from creditors, or he has been lying under oath, and otherwise, about his role in and income from a number of business entities. Resnek’s son, Jacob, does not know anything about his father’s Bankruptcy Court fi lings, he said, but stated that every time his father testifi ed or represented that he owned interests in these companies and was receiving income from them, he was lying. Joshua Resnek, who testifi ed that he has received hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in revenue from various contracts given to companies that he owns with his son, Jacob, also has sent emails representing to family members and others that he owns these companies and has been receiving huge amounts of money from them. Resnek’s bankruptcy fi lings in 2017, which were fi led under oath (under the pains and penalties of perjury) with the United States Bankruptcy Court, disclose none of that income. Similarly, Resnek continues to state on his Leader Herald biography and Linkedin profi le that he is and has been the President of GlobeX Services and Solutions LLC, which he also omitted in his sworn fi lings with the Bankruptcy Court. In a March 17, 2021, email to his cousin, Frank Resnek, Joshua Resnek claimed that his son, Jacob, is a millionaire and they both share a company, GlobeX Services and Solutions LLC – receiving through the late BosNeed a hall for your special event?

Resnek’s son testifi ed that it was not true and that he never received a contract from the City of Boston, and he claimed to have stopped paying his father in 2014 and that he only paid him less than $100,000 between 2012 and 2014. Jacob Resnek testifi ed, instead, that he was a subcontractor who placed advertising and maintains the trash barrels for another company, and that there never was any contract with the City of Boston. He then claimed that his company, which he alone formed in 2012, had the City of Cambridge as a customer, which he stated he received a few months ago but hasn’t received any business from. Resnek says he only gets paid when he installs an advertisement or fi xes the trash cans throughout the state, which belong to BigBelly Solar. When asked about his father’s statement to his cousin that Menino gave him (Joshua) and Jacob their management contract for 600 pieces; and that he (Jacob) has built the company to 19 communities reaping $1 million in revenue – netting $400,000 per year – Joshua Resnek stated to the mayor’s attorney that his father’s claims were “false.” The witness was then asked about a second exhibit of a copy of a letter his father sent him in 2019 addressed to a person named “Dick” with his father writing that he has “600 pieces of street furniture (trash receptacles) in Boston for the past decade. We have apprised Lisa of this in detail. She said she’d put our proposal in front of you after getting back to us yesterday.” “Was that a false statement?” asked Attorney Jeff ery Robbins. “Correct,” replied Resnek. “Did you contact your father and ask him why he makes false statements?’ asked the attorney. “No.” “Why not?” asked Atty. Robbins. “I don’t know, “replied Resnek. “Well, you’ve just – we’ve just seen four false statements that he’s made in two documents, correct?” “Correct,” he stated. The questioning turned to his ownership of GlobeX and when he stopped paying his father, by checks payable to his father, in 2014. The son stated that when he stopped paying him, they had a falling out, that he wasn’t happy with him. In the third exhibit, the mayor’s attorneys presented emails from May 2021 between his father and a friend, where Resnek writes that he and his son, Jacob, have reaped thousands in crypto currency, calling it the “new bullion” – saying that he and his son already have a “12,000% profi t since January.” “I am not adrift with the crypto thing,” Resnek writes. “It cost so little and we have so much that if its cut in half, who cares.” Resnek continues about the benefi ts of owning crypto, despite its instability, stating, “At the end of the day, I can tell my wife it was a nice day. We have $10,000 more in one of our accounts at the end of the day that the beginning! Very nice.” Jacob testified that he was aware that his father had purchased crypto currency on Coinbase but had no idea how much. When asked if he and his father shared any accounts, Resnek replied that they didn’t. But in his email, his father states, “…my son Jacob and I own 1,034,000 Doge Coin. Please allow me to enumerate. Jacob owns 1 million at.00002 per Doge which he bought seven years ago. I own 34,000 I bought at.02 three months ago.” Asked if this was a false statement, Resnek replied it was a false statement. “I don’t own anything with my father. Anything. Nothing,” he replied. Resnek was then asked if he was aware of his father’s bio listed on the Everett Leader Herald’s website. Resnek stated that he did and stated that it was full of falsehoods. In the bio, the paper states that “He is active presently and serves as the President of GlobeX Services & Solutions, LLC, a Boston-based media and management company owned by his son Jacob Resnek and which represents a variety of companies including Vector Media of New York and PassPort Parking as well as the city of Boston.” When asked what falsehood was printed in the bio, Resnek stated that his father was president of GlobeX. “Every bit of that is false?” asked Atty. Robbins. “Hundred percent,” replied Resnek. “It’s false.” Resnek testifi ed that he told his father to take that statement down, but he refused him, stating to his son, that “he didn’t care.” “Did you tell him you were angry?” asked the attorney. “Yes.” “And what did he say?” “He doesn’t care,” replied Resnek. Asked about his father’s claim of representing Vector Media of NY and PassPort Parking, Resnek stated that he fi xed trash cans for Vector Media and that PassPort was a venture his father may have had – but he was not sure – performing consulting work from approximately 20132014. “And was he earning income from that?” asked the attorney. “Yes,” responded Resnek. “Has your father ever worked at GlobeX Services & Solutions?” “No,” stated Resnek. In another exhibit, Resnek is shown his father’s LinkedIn, where he makes the same claim of being president of GlobeX Services & Solutions. Again, the son asked his father, only recently, according to Resnek, to remove that statement from his social media site. “Are you offended by his dishonesty of the representations here?” asked Atty. Robbins. “It bothers me as his son,” said Resnek. Atty. Robbins then reads his father’s testimony from his sworn deposition on June 3, 2022, where he confi rms that he and his son received a contract in 2012 from Mayor Tom Menino, and that they have received $500,000 in a year; $250,000 post pandemic. “Is that a false statement under oath by your father?” asked the attorney. “That is a false statement,” replied Resnek. When asked if his father’s testimony of receiving a percentage of each fee generated by Boston’s 10,000 parking meters through his arrangement with Passport Parking, the younger Resnek answered, “at one time” but the arrangement may have ended “some time ago.” Resnek was asked if he knew that his father had fi led for bankruptcy in 2017. He stated that his father confi rmed that but never showed him any of the fi lings. Resnek was then asked if had WITNESS | SEE Page 7

Specifically, the advocacy campaign targets Governor Maura Healey’s tax reforms as not being bold enough to compete with the country’s most economically competitive states: New Hampshire and Florida. Those states are the top WITNESS | FROM Page 6 heard of Joseph O’Donnell – if he had ever met him. Resnek stated that he heard of him through his father, that he was a rich man, but he didn’t know how close he and his father were. He was asked if he was aware of any business dealing or a manuscript by his father that he was pitching to O’Donnell about the Wynn casino license that included fi ctitious anecdotes about the mayor. Resnek stated he was aware of the manuscript, which his father had mailed to him, but never opened or read it because he didn’t read books. He stated that he knew his father wrote the Everett newspaper for Matthew Philbin, whom he had met on a couple of occasions, and that he also received drafts of the newspaper on an email chain, but “almost never” read them. Resnek stated that his father has talked a lot about the mayor, stating, “It’s the only thing he talks about for years now.” When asked why he talks about the mayor for so long, Resnek replied, “It’s his job. He writes a newspaper in Everett, and its – he’s made this a political newspaper.” Asked if he knew in conversations with his father that he wanted to defeat the mayor, Resnek replied that that statement was correct. “Would you agree that your father is obsessed with Carlo DeMaria?” asked the attorney. “Yes,” he replied. “And have you asked him why he’s so obsessed with Carlo DeMaria? “It’s just his job,” replied Resnek. Atty. Robbins asked Resnek if he ever asked his father to protwo destinations to which Massachusetts taxpayers flee. On Tuesday at 11:00 a.m., Governor Healey’s tax package will receive a legislative hearing before the Joint Committee on Revenue. MassFiscal’s campaign cites decreasing state revenues, increased state borrowing, reports showing the Commonwealth is hemorrhaging taxpaying residents, major increases in the cost of living, and concerns from industry leaders and small business advocates over the declines in the state’s economic competitiveness ratings as reavide him with any evidence backing any of his statements that he made about the mayor, Resnek answered that he didn’t care about DeMaria or Everett, stating, “I live in Chelsea. Okay.” The witness was then asked why he wrote in an Oct. 21, 2021, email to his father complaining about a Boston Globe article he felt was positive towards the mayor, writing, “What’s up with this fl uff piece?” Despite feigning his indiff erence towards “anything Everett or the mayor” in his father’s articles, the witness admitted that he was well aware of his father’s attempts to get The Boston Globe reporter Andrea Estes to write critical stories on the mayor. “He told you that repeatedly?” asked the attorney. “Over and over,” replied Resnek. Resnek said that his father talked about the mayor so much that he didn’t know what to listen to. In reference to the positive article in The Boston Globe towards the mayor, Resnek stated to his father, “He just doesn’t know what you have planned.” When asked about that statement, Resnek said it was probably another story that’s going to come out about the mayor. “Because your father had told you that he had some stuff planned which he hoped would defeat the mayor, correct?” asked Atty. Robbins. “Yes,” he replied. The questions turn to his father’s publishing of the “Blue Suit” articles – where he applauds his father for one particular article where he makes accusations of criminal behavior by the mayor. Asked if he believes the “Blue Suit” articles have any eff ect on the way the mayor is perceived in the city, Resnek stated he agrees. sons why Governor Healey is “missing the basket” on keeping Massachusetts competitive. A recent Tax Foundation report shows that Massachusetts was the only state in the country to increase its income tax in 2023, and the top two destinations for Massachusetts taxpayers who are leaving are New Hampshire and Florida – both states without any income tax whatsoever.

When Jacob was shown a Dec. 22, 2020, email between his father and Matthew Philbin saying, “Only the mayor matters and we’re out to get him,” and “We will crush this guy. We are crushing this guy,” the attorney asked, “Your father has said that to you as well?” “Yes,” replied Resnek. Resnek was asked about his father’s emails to his relative Frank Resnek, where his father states that his son has a net worth of $12 million. “Was that a false statement, too?” asked Atty. Robbins. “Very false,” answered Resnek. “Your father does seem prone to making false statements. Am I right?” asked the attorney. “I don’t know about prone, but there have been some false statements, yes.” Sorry No Checks - ATM on site Roller skate rentals included in all prices Inline Skate Rentals $3.00 additional BIRTHDAY & PRIVATE PARTIES AVAILABLE www.roller-world.com Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut St. We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on!

Page 8 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 2023 Malden Catholic HS went into lockdown mode after hoax ‘active shooter’ report made Nearly 30 schools in Mass. targeted in fake ‘swatting’ calls Tuesday, one day after 9 killed in Nashville school shooting By Steve Freker A n all-too-realistic, “live” voice delivered a chilling message to the Malden Police public access phone line on Tuesday morning. The caller reported that an active shooter was holding fi ve people in a bathroom at Malden Catholic High School, according to reports. Malden Police were on the scene “in less than 2 minutes” and were able to quickly assess there was no true threat, Malden Catholic President John Thornburgh told television news reporters on the scene late Tuesday morning. “There is currently no ongoing threat to public safety in relation to Malden schools,” police offi cials said in the Facebook post, shortly after the initial report was received. Similar calls were made to about 30 schools statewide and came less than 24 hours after the nation’s most recent mass shooting Monday. Six people, including three nine year olds, were shot and killed at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tenn. According to reports, a call was placed to the Malden Police nonemergency line around 10:00 a.m. A cadre of nearly a dozen Malden Police officers swiftly arrived on scene. The offi cers entered the building and after a rapid search – including where the initial report indicated where the “active shooter” was reportedly holed up – the call was ruled as false, with no suspicious activity at the school. “The police were here, I think, in less than two minutes,” Malden Catholic President John Thornburg told a Channel 5 television reporter. “We went immediately into our lockdown drill. Faculty, staff and students did a great job. “Within 15 minutes [police] had cleared the building and established there was no threat,” Thornburg added.

(Advocate Photo) the Malden Police Department’s non-emergency line. The caller reported an “active shooter” incident at Malden Catholic High School. Law enforcement promptly responded to the school while information was still being transmitted. While on the scene at Malden Catholic High School, it was quickly discovered that the initial information presented was inaccurate and/or could not be validated as factual. The offi cers continued to patrol the school for any signs of danger or suspicious activity. The offi cers found nothing of concern at the time, especially in relation to the information reported just minutes before. Offi cers who were looking into the Malden incident found that similar calls had been made in other parts of the state. Nonetheless, the Malden incident was examined as if it were true until it was proven otherwise. However, it’s critical not to become complacent. If you see something suspicious, please reach out to your respective law enforcement agency. There is currently no ongoing threat to public safety in relation to Malden schools. Stay safe and be well.

The campaign will also be featured on social media ads and email ad campaigns, such as MASSterList. “MassFiscal’s campaign aims to implore State House leaders to compare our tax policies to the most economically competitive states in the country, New Hampshire and Florida. The Commonwealth needs to get into the game and start to get into the business of competing. States like New Hampshire and Florida are taking our best players and paying them more by taxing them less, or not at all. Governor Healey’s tax package will not be enough and legislative leaders need to do a lot more if they ever want to compete with the most competitive states in the country,” stated MassFiscal Spokesperson/Board Member Paul D. Craney. 1. March 31 is Eiff el Tower Day; what obelisk was the world’s tallest structure before the Eiff el Tower? 2. Where in the USA would you fi nd the world’s largest shell collection? 3.

Our uncompetitive tax policies are that laughable when compared to our competition,” continued Craney. He added, “The narrow passage of the income surtax which represented an 80 percent increase for some small businesses, retirees, home sales and high-income earners put Massachusetts at a distinct disadvantage. However, as our mailer points out, there are several other taxes which also contribute, and if we ever want to be competitive, we need to eliminate these taxes.” The mailer was sent to neighborhoods across the state, as well as nearly every state and municipal elected official. It showcases how Massachusetts has the most aggressive estate tax in the country, while New Hampshire and Florida do not have an estate tax. Massachusetts has the sixth highest capital gains tax, while New Hampshire and Florida do not have a capital gains tax. Massachusetts has the second highest debt per capita, while New Hampshire and Florida do much better. Massachusetts is ranked as the 46th best state for its “business tax climate,” while New Hampshire is sixth best and Florida is fourth best. “If Governor Maura Healey, Speaker Ron Mariano, and Senate President Karen Spilka want to keep our state in the game economically speaking, we need to take bolder action. The Governor’s tax package will not be enough. Our campaign puts the focus on what other states are doing and how Massachusetts can begin to compete with them. It will take broad tax cuts and tax eliminations, that is the only way to compete,” concluded Craney. 1. The Washington Monument 2. The Smithsonian Institution 3. @ 4. The Netherlands 5.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 2023 Page 13 Everett High Football Head Coach Rob DiLoreto resigns Leaving post after two years, three seasons, 20-3 record and two Greater Boston League crowns By Steve Freker A fter three seasons and a pair of league championships, Everett High School Varsity Football Head Coach Rob DiLoreto announced his decision to resign his post on Wednesday morning. DiLoreto said in a statement released Wednesday, “A series of circumstances over the past few months have led me to conclude that I cannot continue as the head football coach at Everett right now.” The 1986 Everett High School graduate, who starred in football and baseball for the Crimson Tide in the mid-1980s, did not specify the circumstances referred to in the statement. In the past three seasons after he came back to his alma mater as Head Coach, DiLoreto led the Crimson Tide to a 20-3 record, including two consecutive Greater Boston League Championships in 2021 and 2022. DiLoreto also coached in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, a four-game stint postponed to the spring of 2021. DiLoreto served as an assistant coach at Everett High in 2017 under former Tide icon coach John DiBiaso, during DiBiaso’s last season at the helm before he departed for Catholic Memorial. DiLoreto then served as off ensive coordinator under former Tide Head Coach Theluxon Pierre in 2018. In 2019, DiLoreto coached at Arlington High School, for the second of two stints, where he also serves as Dean of Students. DiLoreto has served as a head coach before, from 1994-1999 at the former Pope John XXIII High School, in Everett, winning a Super Bowl in 1998. That guaranteed a string of Super Bowl trophies in Everett as the Tide won the crown in 1997 and 1999. He left Pope John and took the football head coach position in the district where he worked, as head man for the Arlington Spy Ponders for fi ve seasons, from 2000-2004. DiLoreto took a year off from coaching in 2005, but he returned to the sidelines at Austin Prep in Reading (2006) and Malden Catholic (2007). DiLoreto’s longest and most successful coaching stint was at Reading High School, from 20082016, where he coached his sons., Robert Jr. and Corey. Corey was a star quarterback and All-Scholastic baseball player at Reading High and is now con2010, 2015 and 2016. “The words that come to my sidered a professional prospect in his junior year at Northeastern University in Boston. As the offensive coordinator at Reading, he helped guide the Rockets to undefeated Division 2 championship seasons in 2009 and 2012 and Super Bowl appearances in mind are honored, humbled, family, tradition and Everett pride,” DiLoreto said when he was hired in January 2021 in an online report. “To get an opportunity to serve as the head football coach in the city where I grew up and love so much is a dream come true.” After just over two years on the job – two full and one abbreviated season – DiLoreto is now walking away. “I was truly honored and forever grateful to be able to live out my childhood dream of coaching for the high school that I attended in the city I grew up in and love so much,” DiLoreto said in his statement on Wednesday. “The Everett football family will always be in my heart.” DIVISION 3 PITCHING TRIO JOINING 2023 NORTH SHORE NAVIGATORS UMass Boston’s Ross Dexter LYNN, Mass. -- The North Shore Navigators’ infl ux of local players for the 2023 New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) season will include three pitchers from the Division 3 ranks, all of whom call Massachusetts home. Beverly’s own Brayden Clark will join the Navigators following his junior campaign at Salve Regina University, where he has helped the Seahawks earn back-to-back NCAA tournament berths. Clark racked up 22 strikeouts in his fi rst 17 innings of work this spring after going 6-2 with a 2.83 ERA and fanning 63 batters over 60.1 frames in 2022. The All-Commonwealth Coast Conference third-team honoree went on to start fi ve games for the Futures League’s Nashua Silver Knights over the summer. Clark was a three-sport athlete in golf, hockey and baseball at Beverly High and played for the Beverly/Salem team that advanced to the 2021 American Legion World Series. A St. John’s Prep graduate who hails from Westford, Alex Erickson has signed on to spend his first summer ball experience with North Shore. The Union College sophomore made fi ve relief appearances during his fi rst collegiate season, recording nine strikeouts in just fi ve innings of work. Erickson and the Dutchmen are slated to begin the 2023 season on March 19. Erickson, who will become the fi rst-ever product of the New York school to join the Navs, played four years of baseball at St. John’s and was also a member of the Eagles’ cross country and indoor track and fi eld teams. rounds out the newest trio of Navs. After emerging as a key reliever with a 3.05 ERA in 19 games during his freshman year, Dexter has slotted right into the starting rotation for the Beacons this spring. The 6-foot-3 right-hander has averaged well over a strikeout per inning for his career at UMass, logging 41 through 30.2 frames including 12 so far in 2023. Dexter spent the majority of last summer with the Futures League’s Pittsfi eld Suns, going 4-1 with a 2.93 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 27.2 innings before earning a call to the Cape Cod League with the Wareham Gatemen. He played baseball and hockey at both his hometown Milton High School and The Winchendon School. The Navs kick off their 16th summer of collegiate baseball on Wednesday, June 7 and will host their home opener at a renovated Fraser Field on Friday, June 9. The 2023 season includes 22 home games, as well as the return of the NECBL All-Star Game to Lynn on Sunday, July 23.

Page 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 2023 By Bob Katzen Simple Home Safety Solutions for Aging-in-Place Dear Savvy Senior, Falls and fi res are the two things I worry most about for my elderly father who lives alone. Do you have any suggestions on what we can do to help keep him safe, and keep an eye on him from afar? Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, Of course! There are a number of small adjustments and modifi cations you can make to your dad’s home to help protect him from falls and fi res, both of which cause thousands of injuries and deaths each year. Here are some tips to get you started. Eliminate tripping hazards: Since falls are the leading cause of home injury among seniors, a good place to start is to pack away your dad’s throw rugs which are common tripping hazards or use carpet tacks or double-sided tape to secure them. You may also need to adjust your dad’s furniture so there are clear pathways to walk through and position any electrical or phone cords along walls and out of the way. For hardwood steps, consider attaching a nonslip tread to each one to provide traction and help him see the edge. And for added protection in the bathroom buy some nonskid rugs for the fl oors and use adhesive nonslip treads or a mat with rubber suction inside his tub or shower stall. Improve his lighting: Good lighting is essential for safe aging-in-place, so check the wattage ratings on your dad’s lamps and light fi xtures, and install the brightest bulbs allowed, and add supplementary lighting if necessary. You should also purchase some dusk to dawn nightlights for the bathroom and in the hallways that light up when the sun goes down. And mount some motion sensor lights outside the front and back doors and in the driveway that automatically come on when he comes and goes after dark. Get grab bars: These can signifi cantly reduce his risk of bathroom falls. Install them where he enters the shower or tub and on a wall inside the stall, but don’t use grab bars that attach with suction. Instead, have wall-mounted bars put in by someone who can affi x them to the wall studs. It’s also best to choose bars whose surfaces are slightly textured and easier to grip. Ensure railings are stable: Wherever he has steps – stairways, entryways or basements – he needs sturdy railings. Ideally, they should be on both sides of the steps. Prevent cooking fi res: There are several aff ordable products you can purchase to help your dad prevent home cooking fi res like BurnerAlert discs that attach to a stove’s knob and will continuously blink or beep after the stove has been in use for a preset amount of time, and Ome smart knobs that can control a stove’s heating settings from an app. Or you can invest in a more expensive iGuardStove sensor that shuts the stove off when it doesn’t detect motion for five minutes. Install smoke alarms: Install a smart smoke alarm in your dad’s house (buy one for each fl oor) that will alert him when smoke or carbon monoxide is detected. These smart devices will also send alerts to your phone to let you know when a problem is detected. Google Nest and First Alert both smart smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Add fire extinguishers: Get portable multipurpose fire extinguishers for each level of your dad’s house and in the garage. Consider a medical alert: To ensure your dad’s safety and provide you some peace of mind, consider getting him a medical alert device that comes with a wearable SOS button that would allow him to call for help if he were to fall or need assistance. For more tips, get a copy of AARP’s “HomeFit Guide” (see AARP.org/HomeFit), which has more than 100 aging-in-place suggestions that can help make your dad’s home safer and easier to live in.

Maura Healey a $388.6 million fi scal 2023 supplemental budget. The House and Senate approved diff erent versions a few weeks ago, but last week they agreed on this new version. Provisions include $65 million for free school meals; $130 million to keep expanded nutrition assistance in place for a few more months; $2 million for the reimbursement of SNAP benefi ts for victims of benefi t theft; $250,000 for a free abortion-related legal hotline; $45 million for emergency shelter assistance; $40 million to support aff ordable housing for immigrants and refugees; and $2 million for the Boston branch of the NAACP for costs of some programs to be included in its 114th National NAACP Conference in 2023 in Boston. Other provisions keep some pandemic-era programs, set to expire, in place including allowing restaurants to sell beer, wine and cocktails for take-out; expanding outdoor dining; and extending the authority, set to expire in a few weeks, for public bodies, agencies and commissions to hold their meetings remotely. “This supplemental budget ensures that our commonwealth continues to support the most vulnerable among us while also building on the lessons we learned during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “I’m proud to say that the Legislature has proven once again that it has the courage to chart a course that leaves no place or person in the commonwealth behind.” “I’m proud that, among several critical investments, this supplemental budget provides support for many of the most vulnerable residents and communities in Massachusetts through funding for free school lunches, financial assistance to homeless shelters facing an increase in their migrant population and extended enhanced SNAP benefi ts,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “In partnership with the House, the Legislature has taken the necessary steps to keep the economy of the commonwealth on a fi rm footing as we continue to emerge from the pandemic,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “The passage of this supplemental budget today utilizes robust tax revenues to its fullest eff ect, making substantial investments in economic development, housing, education and the social service safety net.” “This relatively modest supplemental budget addresses some of the most pressing needs the commonwealth is facing,” said House Committee on Ways and Means Chair Rep. Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston). “Whether it is ensuring that our school children have access to free meals, essential early childcare education grants or directing critical resources to deal with the infl ux of migrants coming into the commonwealth, these funds will have an immediate and positive eff ect for the residents of the state.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $388.6 million supplemental budget.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes $350 MILLION FOR ROADS AND BRIDGES (H 3547) House 153-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that includes authorizing $200 million in one-time funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges in cities and towns across the state. The $350 million package, a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds, also includes $150 million to pay for bus lane improvements, improvement of public transit, electric vehicles and other state transportation projects. Supporters said the funding will help cities and towns make their streets and bridges safer for all drivers and will improve the state’s public transportation system. They noted that this funding, known as Chapter 90, is relied on every year by local communities but noted that this is not the only source of local aid for cities and towns. Rep. Bill Strauss (D-Mattapoisett), the House chair of the Transportation Committee and the sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call for a comment on passage of the measure. Déjà vu? Strauss did not respond last year to the same request on the 2022 funding for roads and bridges. Many local offi cials across the state continue to advocate for additional money to increase the funding and argue that the cost of repairing roads has increased by up to 40 percent but the state has kept this funding fl at at $200 million for the past 11 years. Geoff Beckwith, the executive director of the Massachusetts Municipal Association, is one of the biggest advocates for more Chapter 90 funding above the $200 million. “With the construction season starting in a matter of days, local offi cials are asking lawmakers to enact the Chapter 90 bill as soon as possible so that these funds can go to work improving local roadways,” said Beckwith. He also urged additional funding beyond the $200 million. “With these funds secured as a base, cities and towns hope to work with the state on a long-range plan to off set the corrosive impacts of infl ation, which is making it impossible to bring all 30,000 miles of local roads into a state of good repair,” he said. (A “Yes” vote is for the $350 million package.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep.

Page 16 BEACON | FROM Page 14 the Massachusetts Legislature—something she promised in her campaign last year. “As I committed, my offi ce has begun an audit of the state Legislature,” said DiZoglio. “We hope this will increase transparency, accountability and equity in an area of state government that has been completely ignored. Historically, the Legislature has been a closed-door operation, where committee votes have been hidden from the general public and legislation has been voted on in the dark of night.” Last week House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) fi nally responded to DiZoglio’s announcement. “That your offi ce has the legal authority to conduct an audit of the General Court is a claim entirely without legal support or precedent, as it runs contrary to multiple, explicit provisions of the Massachusetts Constitution, and is wholly unnecessary as the public currently has full and ready access to the House’s fi nancial information,” said Mariano in a letter to DiZoglio. THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 2023 Following receipt of the let“All of the House’s accounts are available on the Commonwealth’s Financial Records Transparency Platform (“CTHRU”) webpage, which can be viewed at www.macomptroller.org/cthru,” continued the letter. “There are no expenditures of the House that are not posted on CTHRU and available for public inspection. Additionally, the House adopts rules for each legislative session, including a rule that requires all House accounts to be independently audited on an annual basis in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to fi nancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and that the audit report be fi led with the House Clerk for public inspection.” - Legal Notice - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT DEPARTMENT DIVORCE SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION AND MAILING To the Defendant: VINCENT PROCOPIO REGISTER OF PROBATE Humane Removal Service COMMONWEALTH WILDLIFE CONTROL ANIMAL & BIRD REMOVAL INCLUDING RATS & MICE CALL 617-285-0023 ter, DiZoglio released a statement: “I fi nd it disappointing that the speaker is fi ghting an audit of what is happening in the people’s house, where the people’s business is conducted, using the people’s money,” said DiZoglio. “We are not asking for permission and will continue conducting our audit as planned to help increase transparency, accountability and equity for everyday families,” said DiZoglio. Stay tuned. CHILDCARE TAX CREDIT (S 1814) – A measure before the Revenue Committee would allow up to a $3,000 annual tax credit for families that spend money on childcare services. The childcare servicer must be a provider licensed by the state in order to qualify for the tax credit and the child receiving childcare services must be a dependent of the taxpayer. Sponsor Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on his proposal. ALLOW NON-CITIZENS TO MANAGE THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES (S 206) – A bill before the Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee would allow non-citizens who are legally in the United States to be appointed manager on a license for the sale of alcoholic beverages. Under current law, these managers must be U.S. citizens and are also required to be on the premises at least 40 hours per week. “This legislation was filed after a few restaurants … reached out and brought this issue to my attention,” said sponsor Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth). “Considering a signifi cant portion of food industry employees are legal immigrants, it makes sense to allow them to be able to compete for these types of positions. Managerial positions are crucial to the success of any business, and this change would put Massachusetts in line with many other states and allow restaurants to expand their pool of qualified applicants.” FIX-A-LEAK WEEK AND WATER DAY – Last week the Healey administration commemorated World Water Day and National Fix-A-Leak Week. Fix-ALeak Week is led by the United Nations and is aimed at raising awareness about the importance of fi nding and repairing water leaks in homes and businesses. World Water Day’s theme is designed to accelerate change to solve the world’s water and sanitation crisis. “Access to safe drinking water is a fundamental right,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “We all have a role to play in protecting our water supply as the climate crisis worsens droughts and fl oods and alters our ecosystem. We encourage all residents and businesses to protect against unnecessary water waste.” “While water safety and accessibility are global issues, individual actions are required to address them,” said Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bonnie Heiple. “Small changes in the ways in which we use and manage water in our daily lives cumulate into significant improvements to protect and conserve our precious water resources.” MASSACHUSETTS CAUCUS OF WOMEN LEGISLATORS’ (MCWL) TOP FIVE – The MCWL announced its top fi ve legislative priorities for the 2023-2024 legislative session. SALARIES OF HUMAN SERVICE WORKERS (H 191 and S 84) – Would eliminate disparities between the rate of pay for human services workers employed directly by the state and those employed by private agencies and companies with state contracts. SALARY TRANSPARENCY (H 1849 and S 1191) – Would require employers to disclose the salary range when advertising a job position. INCREASE ACCESS TO MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS (H 534 and S 1381) – Would increase access to disposable menstrual products in prisons, homeless shelters and public schools. POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION SCREENING (H 2163 and S 1375) – Would require MassHealth to provide coverage for postpartum depression screenings by pediatricians for 12 months. ALLOW USE OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS FOR CHILD CARE FOR CANDIDATES FOR PUBLIC OFFICE (H 669 and S 422) – Would allow a candidate for public offi ce to use campaign funds for childcare while the candidate is campaigning on his or her own behalf or attending events directly related to his or her campaign. QUOTABLE QUOTES “Housing is a big issue. We know that people can’t thrive, they can’t raise their families, it’s just so much harder for children and families or individuals if they can’t aff ord to live in an area where they’re working.” ---Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) “A lack of inventory, higher interest rates, and economic uncertainties continue to be the biggest barriers to entry for prospective homebuyers. Speaking of the economy, the most recent bank failures may shake consumer confidence in the coming months, which could yield even further declines in transactions not associated with a lack of inventory.” --- Cassidy Norton, Media Relations Director of The Warren Group on the real estate market in the Bay State. “Embodied carbon is the greenhouse gas emission associated with the manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance and disposal of building and infrastructure materials. In spite of the staggering impact embodied carbon has on the climate crisis, local health and equity, embodied carbon is still rarely included in our local and statewide eff orts to reduce emissions from buildings.” --- Logan Malik, Interim Executive Director of the Massachusetts Climate Action Network on why Massachusetts must reduce embodied carbon emissions from buildings. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of March 2024, the House met for a total of 7 hours and 17 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 4 hours and 18 minutes. Mon.

Because, as an elected offi cial, the people you represent chose you to be the voice and champion their issues,” said Morabito. He went on to say that felJoe DiNuzzo 617-680-7610 low councillors know the harassment he has endured while serving on the City Council. “Offensive behavior is unacceptable,” he added. Councillor Silvestri agreed that elected officials are held to a higher standard. “Everyone can lose their head and say things that are offensive, but there’s a moment when you have to say, ‘I screwed up’ and apologize.” Housing Trust Fund Recognizing the societal shifts that have taken place during the pandemic, the bill also addresses several pandemic-era related measures, including: • Permanently allowing public corporations and nonprofi ts to hold certain meetings by means of remote communication • Permanently allowing notaries public to conduct remote online notarization using communication technology • Extending the ability of graduates and students in their last semester of nursing education programs to practice nursing in accordance with guidance from the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing • Extending popular pandemic-related provisions, including outdoor dining services and beer, wine and cocktails to-go for a year • Extending the ability of public bodies to allow remote participation by members in public meetings • Extending flexibilities given to municipalities to allow for representative town meetings to be held in hybrid or fully remote capacities and that authorize reduced in-person quorum requirements • Extending the ability of nurses employed by assisted living residences to provide skilled nursing care in accordance with valid medical orders, provided the nurse holds a valid license to provide such care The supplemental budget includes the following provisions related to the end of the public health emergency on May 11, 2023: • Temporarily extending fl exibility on ambulance staffi ng • Temporarily extending the ability of staff of a community program to administer prepackaged medications if in compliance with Department of Public Health guidance • Temporarily extending staff - ing fl exibilities related to dialysis providers When confronted, the selectman doubled down,” said Silvestri, adding that that’s when we have to speak out. Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto said he supported Morabito, but he thought it was illegal to send a letter to Saugus. Zambuto said Cogliano’s constitutional right to free speech allowed him to say what he wanted, even if it was rude and offensive. Despite Zambuto’s warning, the City Council voted to send a letter to the Saugus Selectmen. After the vote, City Council President Patrick Keefe told Morabito he has watched as his courage has grown over time. “I stand behind you,” Keefe told Morabito.

Despite the school department and the community’s support for building at Wonderland, there seemed to be some relief that a decision was made and work on the schematic design can now more forward. Later during the council meeting, councillors voted on a motion from Councillor Silvestri that would direct the High School Building Committee to develop a revised building design for the Wonderland site with changes that would reduce the overall cost of the project by as much as possible. It was another confusing moment, given that the council had already voted to support a design for the existing site. Silvestri’s motion was defeated by a six to fi ve vote with councillors Morabito, Powers, Novoselsky, Silvestri and Keefe voting in favor. “This project was about working together and that did not happen,” said Ward 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro, who stressed that the city just could not aff ord to build a new high school at Wonderland or the current site. “We need to go back to the drawing board,” said Cogliandro, stating that the city needs a new school that it could aff ord without raising taxes or fees or making city department budget cuts. Those who were against the Wonderland site pointed not only to the projected high construction costs and removing Wonderland from the tax roll, but the safety of students who walk to school – which would more than double the amount now who cross Bell Circle and American Legion Highway to get to the high school. 4 Rogers Lane Saugus, MA Thursday 3/23 4:30 PM-6:30 PM Saturday 3/25 12:00 PM- 2:00 PM Sunday 3/26 12:00 PM- 2:00 PM mangorealtyteam.com 38 Main St. Saugus (781) 558-1091 20 Railroad Ave. Rockport (978)-999-5408 14 Norwood St, Everett (781)-558-1091 Saugus This nicely located, spacious townhome offers 2-3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and attached garage.
