Wheelabrator Saugus: Riley, who got nosed out by Mark Mitchell two years ago, has vowed that she would work to close the ash landfill at Wheelabrator by the year 2025. Several other candidates have said they would also push for closure of the landfill. Cogliano, who served as a selectman for a decade, said he will press for a host agreement with Wheelabrator so the town won’t continue to miss out on millions of dollars a year that other communities receive for being the home of an incinerator. Former longtime Town Moderator Robert J. Long decided to get back into local government this year – running as a candidate for Town Meeting in Precinct 9 – primarily because he wants to see the construction of a West End fire station. “Twice in 1995 and 2003 the voters passed town wide debt exclusions to pay for the building but for various reasons nothing happened,” Long said this week. “But public safety is a must-do necessity. We are building a new school and are playgrounds have been renovated and now it’s time for the West Side Station because lives will depend on it,” he said. Several selectmen candidates have come out with an endorsement of a West End Fire Station. This year’s election campaign has piqued the interest of several former, longtime participants in local government. Peter Manoogian, a veteran of more than three decades in local government, decided to run for a Town Meeting seat in Precinct 10. Meanwhile, Robert A. Palleschi – who served 36 years as a member of the Finance Committee, the last 12 as its chair – is running for a Town Meeting seat in Precinct 7. Looking for a home loan?
