Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, September 13 , 2019 ~ POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT ~ Dan Rizzo announces candidacy for Mayor I t is with tremendous pride in Revere and its diverse citizenry, that I formally announce my candidacy for Mayor. Over the course of the past few months, I’ve reached out to thousands of residents, initially to listen to what they had to say, and then to candidly share with them what I think. What I heard, loudly and clearly, is that people feel their city government is not working for them. I heard frustration about the way City Hall is functioning, I heard disappointment about the many broken promises spouted by the incumbent Mayor four years ago. I heard anger both about the massive overdevelopment of apartments in our city, as well as about the number of vehicles which make our streets virtuously impossible to navigate. Finally, and most sadly, I heard deep and heartfelt condine drink gather riday, September 13 at 9 PM BACK TO THE '80'S FFriday, September 6 at 9 PM Saturday, September 14 at 9 PM Boston's Legendary... THE STOMPERS enjoy cern from many who fear that in only a few years, there might no longer be a place for themselves; for their new neighbors; or for their children or grandchildren in a future Revere. I’m running for Mayor because I agree with each and every point articulated by these voters. I’m running for Mayor because I believe City Hall should be putting Revere residents, and their quality of life, above the profit margins of Out-ofTown Developers. I’m running for Mayor because at this important time in our city’s history we have a responsibility to protect those old and new residents who have invested in Revere, before another term of careless spending and reckless tax increases prices them out of the city. Today, Revere stands at a crossroads. Together, we have the powDan Rizzo er to chart its future course. The questions you need to ask yourself are these: First, do you want more apartment complexes, more traffic, and more detriments to your quality of life in Revere? The current Mayor has brought more apartments to the city than the last three Mayors combined! The result of these policies has been to further congest our streets; to push our schools over capacity; and to have stretched our public resources to the breaking point.

I urged a focus on commercial development over residential, like the revitalization of Northgate and Broadway, and on affordable senior housing, like the One Beach complex. Sadly, this plan was disregarded and undone by the current Mayor. Once again, I believe we need to impose a two-year moratorium to all large-scale residential building, implement smart traffic signalization, and bring in a full-time traffic professional on staff to direct traffic as efficiently as possible.
