THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, October 18, 2019 ~ Political Announcement ~ Page 7 John Cannon wants to remain on Saugus Housing Authority have resided in Saugus for about 40 years, and owned and operated my own business for most of my adult life. When I retired I moved in the Heritage Heights Senior Complex in August, 2015. In September 2015 I began I attending Board of Commissioners meetings. I wanted to learn and understand the general operation of the Saugus Housing Authority, of both the simple and complex issues and as a former business owner; I became very interested in the business aspects of Saugus Housing. I never wanted to draw a conclusion without understanding the situation or the probable solution. I became a Board member in 2016 to fill a vacancy and within 3 months I was unanimously voted Chairman by other Board members. I have since 2016, taken great pride in being a Board member and the Board has made several changes and accomplishments that have made Saugus Housing a better place to live. The current Board believes in full transparency, a strong fiduciary responsibility, and providing a good quality of life for the tenants. As part of my dedication, I have a 100 percent attendance record to all Board of Commissioners meetings. As a result of duty, pride, and dedication I have also attended many Public Housing Training classes to better understand the issue of public housing and affordable housing (40B & 40R). In the last three years, I have attended every available education tool regarding public housing. This educational training was administered by: Mel King Institute for Community Building, MA. Union of Public Housing Tenants, MA. Association of Community Development, MA. Attorney General’s Office, MA Office of the Inspector General and MA.

As a longtime resident of Saugus, I am a veteran, and my community involvement includes, the Senior Center, the Veterans Food Bank, the Affordable Housing Trust Committee, the Saugus Veterans Council, the American Legion, the American Legion Baseball League, the American Legion Breakfast and the Saugus Housing Authority. The current Board of Commissioners is a continuous proficient work in progress. We work in a unified effort to maintain transparency, a strong fiduciary responsibility, a good quality of life for the tenants of the Saugus Housing Authority and to perform in the best interest of the people of Saugus. I believe my dedication, tenacity, former business training and continuous education in Public Housing is an asset for the Saugus Housing Authority. My record stands for itself and I challenge any opponent to a debate. I ask for your vote on November. 05, 2019, Quite simply, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. John Cannon, Chairman, Board of Commissioners, Saugus Housing Authority ANTHONY W. COGLIANO SR. | from page 5 as evidenced by the moratorium placed on housing developments. We also do not get our fair share from Wheelabrator and our developers because we lack the ability to have a productive conversation. The time has come for construction for a West Side Fire Station and redevelopment of Cliftondale Square and Saugus Center. It’s time to bring back an experienced, proven leader who will ask the tough questions, demand accountability and never allow hard working Saugonians to be treated as poorly as our custodians were. I would love the opportunity to serve the great citizens of Saugus once again as a member of the Board of Selectmen. Sincerely; Anthony W. Cogliano Sr.
