"For roughly 30 years, the city of Revere and our neighbors in Winthrop have had the good fortune to be represented by Speaker Bob DeLeo. Now, as he announces his retirement and moves on to the next phase of his life, we must select his replacement. I can think of no better choice than Attorney Jeff Turco. Jeff has the academic, professional and political experience that is needed to make a positive impact on his district starting on day one. His values, work ethic, and commitment to good government are some of the many reasons why I am proud to wholeheartedly support his candidacy."

PRESIDENT: Stephen Quigley - [email protected] MARKETING DIRECTOR: Deb DiGregorio - [email protected] MINIMUM WAGE SHOULD BE AT $15.00 Forum

In 1971, the minimum wage across the United States, as mandated by federal law, was $1.60. Today, the federal minimum stands at $7.25. One might look at those two numbers and think that because the minimum wage has increased by more than four-fold in the past 50 years, America’s lowest-paid workers are doing alright compared to their grandpar- ents. But the reality is far different. In fact, had the federal minimum wage kept pace with workers’ productivity in the past five decades, the in- flation-adjusted minimum wage would be $24 an hour. The reality of the $7.25 minimum wage, which has been at that level since 2009, is that a person working a full-time job at the minimum wage officially falls be- low the national poverty level, a reality that would be laughably absurd if it were not so harmful to millions of Americans. President Joe Biden has proposed increasing the min- imum wage across the country to $15.00 by 2024, es- sentially bringing it into line with Massachusetts and a few other states that already are near or at that level. Guest Op-Ed (The minimum wage in Massachusetts presently stands at $13.50 and will increase incrementally here and in seven other states to $15.00 within the next two years.)

Your business fails and you can either blame everything around you or you can look at the rea- sons why the business failed and make your next step better,” said Todd. He does include the childhood bullying in- cident in his remarks as an inspirational message to his young audiences. “My message is that even something this dramatic, you can pull the good out of it and see the positive from it and you can uti- lize it. Everything in your life has an effect. It’s just whether you like to fo- cus on the negative or the positive of that scenario. Every single setback is a setup for a comeback.” Looking back on his days growing up in this city and living in the family home on Victoria Street, Mike Todd, suc- cessful business owner and motivational speaker, says, “Revere was very good to me.”
