THE REVERE ADVOCATE – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2021 Page 7 ~ LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR ~ City shouldn’t accept the Census ghost residents Dear Editor, I read the Revere Advocate’s Page One story about the US Census count of Ward 2 in Revere and thought reporter Adam Swift's take on those 67 "ghost" residents of that auto body shop is a serious issue and it would be nice if the city's Director of Innovation stopped taking the so-called state deadline to accept a map as meaning we must just do it or the state will get mad. The state can't force Revere to accept that there are 67 residents living in an auto body shop. Revere Director of Innovation Rueben Kantor should tell the state offi cials that Revere has a problem with the numbers. You only have the power, you believe you have. If you believe the state deadline limits your power, it will. US Census figures are used to create Congressional Districts.If the US Census is counting "ghosts," then that could change districts. Which municipalities are in the 7th district, the 5th district, etc. depends on actual verifiable counts. How many other ghost residents live in auto body shops across the Commonwealth and shouldn't we all care? I love reading lots of newspapers and I think the Advocate's take on the auto body ghosts was on target. It is a serious issue that needs more than a call from a Revere city offi cial who, by the way, says he's waiting for a return call, one most likely never coming. I also liked that staff report about Lydia Edwards on her past endorsements by the Democratic Socialist of America. The Advocate is doing its job as a community newspaper providing readers with information beRevereTV Spotlight A re you hoping to cook some homemade meals for the holidays?
