| William Thibeault is the financial backer for Carlo DeMaria. He hosted a fundraiser event for him last week at the Wharf in Revere and donated 80,000.00 to his campaign. There is no way anyone would do that if there were no deals made. I am disappointed with this. The current administration and the previous one didn’t want anything to do with him but were stuck. These are the reasons people like Jim Keene never have a chance. |

I agree we need new sources of tax revenues and growth in our city. I don't agree that having Mr. Thibeault as a developer is moving Everett forward. Mr. Thibeault already has a proven track record and it is dismal here in Everett and Newburyport.
This city should be rigorously searching for a reputable developer for that area. A developer that will follow the regulations set forth by our city and state. We should not be giving a green light to a person who thumbs his nose at the rules and regulations.
Yes that area should and could be developed but at what cost to our city. Boston is putting a sludge plant down there and Mr. Thibeault would like to relocate his waste facility down there.
Look at the big picture. Do you think anyone would want to buy a condo next to these two facilities? What will the health hazard end up being? Does this really sound like it is good for Everett? We can't do anything about Bostons sludge plant but we can put a stop to a waste facility being located in that area. The waste facility will not be adding much to our tax base, it is already located in Everett.
If there is soil contamination at Wood Wastes present site is Mr. Thibeault going to rehab that parkway property to make it safe? He hasn't followed DEP regulations thus far what makes you think he would in the future.
Citzen Kane is right, " Mr. Tibeault has not proven himself to be a good corporate neighbor."

I agree we'd be better off without Mr Thibealt and his waste facility and I'm very disappointed to think Carlo may be forming an alliance with him.
That said, I'm very curious to know how you arrived at a donation of $80,000 to his campaign, Tails? |

I too am confused. How do you know he donated $80,000? And Deals? What kind of deal could Carlo have made, since he isn't the Mayor and anything and everything would have to be voted on through City Council/Alderman's even if he was to become Mayor? |

What I meant by “deals” was campaign promises. I think it’s the same thing. This guy is a sleeze and those poor people that live on that side of Everett (and Chelsea) have been battling this issue for years and William Thibeault does not follow EPA guidelines. Their homes and cars are filthy with crap spewing out of his dump. It’s a known fact. It’s in all the papers. I had no idea he was the financial backer until I heard about his event at the wharf which was hosted by none other that William Thibeault. Ask Carlo. He can’t lie about it. This is public information.

| Tails, you didn't answer the question. Where did you get the $80,000 figure? Did you pull it out of the air because you liked the way it sounded, or what? |

Having someone throw a figure out at a function doesn't make it fact, Tails. What function was it, who asked the question, and who answered the question.
There is not public information on this or any campaign's finances yet because they've not yet filed their first campaign finance report of this political season. Once those papers are filed at the City Clerk's office, anyone is entitled to request copies. But I'd be willing to guess, if Mr. Thibeault is providing that much financial backing, it is not going to show up as such in any campaign finance report. I'm not saying the money won't be reported, but I'm speculating that Mr. Thibeault's name is not going to be attached to it.

There is a maximum amount a person is allowed to contribute and I'm sure it's nowhere near $80,000. Does anyone know what that amount is?
Tails, I think you're telling tails.......... and I think your "sources" are questionable. |

| The maximum amount per calendar year is $500.00, campaign finance reports are public knowledge and it is not unusual for businessmen to make political contributions. If Carlo was trying to hide anything from anyone he would not have brought up developing the city in his video, like someone said earlier Carlo isn't even Mayor yet, there are no deals made, these are obviously ideas to be explored for tax revenue, jobs, city development etc, who even knows if it could come to fruition, it would still need approval from cc and boa. If this developer is unsavory as you all say then I am sure everyone would proceed with caution, let's look at the BIG PICTURE, out city reeps the benefits, well needed tax revenue, jobs, our property values increase, Everett can become more desirable, let's face it, we are not stagnant here we are deppreciating, |

| I have to agree with AVGMOM I DO NOT think that Carlo is trying to hide anything. Anything you ask him he will give you the answer to without a song and dance. |

| I think so too Lynda...whenever I have had the chance to meet and talk with him he has never sugar coated anything. He has been up front and honest about whatever I have asked him... |

| I strongly disagree Tails that Tibeault is the entire financial backer for the campaign and again where do you get that 80,000 dollar figure ?? Soon enough the finance report will be posted on here I am sure and I can prove you wrong Tails. |

| Does seem more than a little bit steep Tails. Were you told this figure by someone? |
