This week, I went before the City Council to request expanding the pool of candidates for Revere Police Chief. To make sure we provide the City of Revere with the best possible Police Department, we need to expand the candidate pool, increase competition, and put the best from our department up against the best from around the Commonwealth.

Last week, I announced the formation of a Resident Parking Working Group, which will make recommendations on the implementation of a resident permit parking program for the City. The goal is to have a program in place for 2018.

During these working group sessions, we will seek resident feedback on what kind of permit system would work best for our residents and businesses.
