"I've known Dan Rizzo for many years and can think of no one more qualifi ed to protect our families and neighborhoods. He has always placed public safety as his highest priority and his experience is unmatched. That's why I wholeheartedly endorse Dan Rizzo for Mayor. ~ LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR ~ In support of ward 5 candidate Angela Guarino-Sawaya Dear Editor, It’s hard to believe that we are just weeks away from the general election in Revere. I’ve been a Ward 5 resident for over 40 years. So much has changed over these years. Revere is no longer what it used to be. Our beautiful beach now has endless apartment buildings, traffic jams, overpopulation and has an uptick in crime. You must now leave the city for any resemblance of fun. The movie theater that I visited since I was a kid also became a casualty. Enough is enough. I am tired of having the same politicians with empty promises smiling at me while lining their own pockets. I’m tired of endless tax hikes. I’m tired of folks heading to the beach in the summer and having to be afraid of street fi ghts or gun shots fl ying over them. I want a leader who is going to put us fi rst. A leader who cares and will be open and transparent about what is going on in this city and how it will aff ect its residents. Transparency and politics rarely go together. That is why I have been supporting Angela Guarino-Sawaya since day 1. I’ve witnessed fi rst-hand her leadership abilities. As president of the POPBA, she has kept us informed and fully disclosed of everything that is happening in our neighborhood. In fact, I don’t recall a past president being as open as she is. Unfortunately, what can come with great leadership is criticism that she is responsible for everything negative in the neighborhood. What residents fail to realize is that the city is responsible for most issues relating to parking, construction and street issues, and certain rules that pertain to both the public and private beaches.
