Page 6 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2023 ~ LETTER TO THE EDITOR ~ Allow Him to Finish His Job P lease consider voting for our current and longtime councilor John Powers. Unfortunately, John broke his hip in May and lost his daughter shortly after that. He is in the process of healing, but that has not prevented him from continuing to advocate for his constituents. John is the same fearless fi ghter who was the catalyst behind our new Point of Pines fi re station scheduled for completion in 2024, infrastructure improvements throughout Ward 5, the new roundabout on Route 1A to regulate traffi c on local streets, the rail station linked to the Blue Line to reduce commuter traffi c throughout Revere and particularly on North Shore Road and Revere Beach Boulevard, as well as numerous other improvements – not only in Ward 5 but throughout Revere – one of the more consequential being his prolonged battle to close the toxic WIN incinerator and dump site. John deserves to continue to serve the residents of Ward 5 who will benefi t from his years of experience, bright mind and courageous leadership in a manner that benefi ts a true gentleman who can still roar like a lion. PLEASE ALLOW HIM TO FINISH HIS JOB FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS. After that, he looks forward to mentoring our next new Ward 5 councilor! Thank You.
