Today's riddle: What do sweet potatoes wear to bed? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Portrait in council chambers will honor Catherine Penn (reverejournal.com) — Revere city councillors have voted to install a portrait of trailblazing former councillor and council president Catherine Penn in the council chambers, honoring her decades of service and firsts for women in local government. The meeting also saw praise-filled reappointment of Daniel Occena to the licensing commission and a stalled appointment to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Board after the nominee twice missed subcommittee hearings.

2. ConsComm retains jurisdiction over Fenno Steet property (reverejournal.com) — Revere’s Conservation Commission has decided to retain jurisdiction over a long-neglected Fenno Street property, meaning future development there must still comply with state wetlands protections. Commissioners also approved a 12‑unit North Shore Road project, while signaling that only part of the Fenno Street site qualifies as an historic dumping ground and may require further wetlands delineation.

3. City Council Approves Utility Rate Hike as MWRA Costs Climb (advocatenews.net) — Revere residents will see a 4% hike in water and sewer rates after the City Council voted to raise residential charges to $5.25 per hundred cubic feet and commercial to $8.70. Officials blame rising MWRA assessments and warn that skipping this increase would mean a much steeper jump next year, while some councillors push for a future tiered system to protect low-use households and seniors.
