good evening everyone and welcome to election belmont two thousand and sixteen my name is jack kelly and i'm a freelance reporter with the belmont citizen herald the polls have closed and i'll be a host tonight giving you election results joining me as analysts are belmont residents anne marie mahoney chairwoman of the capital budget committee a form of select woman and several other positions in belmont steven rosalez also a former selectman and a lawyer by trade and parker lutz an eighth grade student at the chenery school welcome to you all welcome thanks nice to be here today's ballot has several races with competing candidates seeking them these include the office of selectmen the school committee the housing authority and town meeting membership let's first turn to the selectmen race between incumbent and two term selectman mark paolillo and newcomer alexandra rubin anne marie how do you see this race turning out well i think it's an interesting race i think it's probably an uphill battle for alexandra as a very newcomer you know mark has lived in town for a long time he has served for a long time on many committees he's been on the board of selectmen for two terms i think it's hard to unseat a selectman with that kind of track record i think on the other hand though it's always nice to have new blood you know it's nice to have a race because you do get an opportunity to discuss the issues but i i guess i have to see mark coming out of this on top steve what what do you think i would have to agree i mean i've known you know it's a small town it's a lot of people but it's still a small town i've been here i don't know fifty fifty five years or so of my sixty years and i've known mark since high school so and that's way back in the seventies the the 1970s so the white guy here wants to do anything but you know he comes from a from a large family i have the race similarly handicapped if that's the right word i came from a large family so you know we've been in town you know a lot of people you know a lot of generations he's got so the name paolillo is known right the name rubin i suggest probably isn't as well known among people outside of her social group or the school or in the neighborhood that maybe that's just an an assumption i've met her once she's a wonderful woman very well very well spoken i give her a lot of give her a lot of props for for running i mean someone that admittedly says i've been twenty years in not in the community but in the greater community coming from summerville but you know she stuck her hat in the ring and you know it's it's not an easy thing to do having done it anne marie having done it for those that have done it win lose or draw i won one i lost one but it's it's it's a lot of work it's a lot of work and it's it's nerve wracking so i give credit to anybody who does it that being said you know i i've known mark for a long time i'm a supporter of his and so i'll disclose that that's no secret my name is out there and but you know he seems to have done the job at least he has the credentials he's he's done a lot of things he's been there he's been the sitting chairman he's i think he's done a good job on the financial analysis i don't agree with everything nobody agrees with everything right but you know by and large i think he leads with his gut i think he's a numbers guy understands how that works and the fact that he has having been in this town and been through a lot of races some for me some for other candidates you get to sorta know the groups and you get to sorta know the faces and the and the and the political philosophies and where they would tend to to to you know fall given to candidates and i think mark has put together quite a broad coalition of people that would be his natural s well what i call his natural supporters and then the the which would be maybe the more traditional belmonteans and then but he's put together the newcomers put together the pta mums he put together what i'll consider the more liberal at least to me a little bit what i'll call from the more liberal or progressive faction and he's really cobbled that together cause that list of endorsed names i mean people that have been around a long time it cuts across all the various constituents absolutely people that you would expect to be one or the other there's a lot of crosses and they're not he's pulled them in and he's pulled them so if the numbers then sort of bear that out if that has any type of indication i think he'll do well okay i i just feel it's important to mention that both of you uh both of us endorsed him are supporters of mark paolillo i've known him a long time and that's sort of what happened okay parker what's your take on this well um as you said that mark paolillo his name is better known in the or i think it's more known in the belmont community i haven't really heard about alexandra rubin until recently and i think with him being a belmotean i think that could help him out well i think the other piece too is that he's sort of done the groundwork he's come up from the grassroots level town meeting member traffic advisory committees kind of you know done your part at the lower levels and then worked your way up with that kind of experience to be on the board of selectmen having also served on the warrant committee mark and i have worked in a number of different capacities and he's got a wide background that really helps you when you step into that office yeah anne marie and steve you both served as select select select well we both have gray hair well i do too but i have but what do you think the two candidates are feeling tonight what did you feel on election oh it's well it's it's nervous but it's it's excitement there's there's a bit of relief that you know what the campaigning is over okay i don't have to i don't there's not coffees i don't have people yelling at me i don't have people writing bad letters about me the support letters there's you know you read the good the bad you're in the newspaper business some of it is it's infuriating it kicks you in the in the in the butt ego wise a little bit but at least it's okay it's it's everything i could do has been done and at least that's how i like to try to figure it out now it's up to the voters you sit at home we didn't have this instant technologies we have we'd go down and we'd have our people down at the town hall waiting for the paper ballots on those little punch sheets with the hanging chads to come in but that was nerve wracking and you know counting votes and literally counting the votes but but it's it's it's it really is excitement butterflies at least that's what i experienced and what what about you it was it was fun in its own way yes the day itself it's long you're tired you're cold you're hungry but it is exciting and in the end in the old days you're right you were in your house you weren't you know when your people were down at the town hall you were surrounded by your family and friends and party atmosphere win lose or draw it it was a lot of fun at the end and then you could just go to bed and sleep for a little bit yeah you got it yeah cause if you if you run the campaign it's it's exhausting for anybody okay parker you are the president at the chenery school i you told me earlier what was it like on the night the or the day that your election took place what was it like for you um i guess it's so we make speeches when we're uh doing well running and i think i'm just right after it you're kind of nervous about what they're going to do how you're going to turn out how the election is going to turn out and i think just it's nervous but it's you're enjoying it at the same time because you know that it could go either way the elections surely on the national level have changed markedly over the past couple of presidential election cycles do you see any changes in the way elections are run for selectman at least or any of the townwide offices in belmont anne marie i think you have access to media and communication in a way that is unprecedented even and we're not out of office that long the idea that you can do the robo calls that you've got the social media that you have everything online and so everything tends to be instant the good side of that is you can get a lot of information out pretty easily and you can get more detailed information it's not just bullet points it's the ability to explain these are my positions and this is why but you also are getting hit in the face with the opposition just as quickly okay we have some election results right now so let's turn to those here we are as you can see on the board board of selectmen three term mark paolillo has two thousand three hundred and thirty three votes and alexandra rubin one thousand and four uh forty that's seven of eight precincts reporting so that's a pretty hefty lead at this juncture i would think you could call that with one precinct left out there i mean i don't there's no way she's going to make up at nine hundred votes no because it was a very light turnout where you can see from these numbers very light right why do you think there was a we we did get some numbers earlier so why do you think there was a light turnout i personally because i sometimes work at the polls i think weather hurt with the snow yesterday but i think there's a little bit of voter fatigue because of the national level and i think that's trickled down and affected this particular election absent a question or an override people just aren't tuned in to selectmen school committee those kinds of raises unfortunately because this is where people can affect the most change the most easily and it's the biggest chunk of their tax dollar is local taxes people really should get more involved but i think that march 1st election took all the energy out of the voters yeah well it certainly was energetic i mean i certainly when i was voting today and i was i was about maybe nine hundred and thirty in the morning and it was at one hundred and forty at precinct eight down the windward school whereas the same time when i voted what a couple of march 1st march 1st month a month five weeks ago i was probably five hundred at that point in time and there were lines out the door and you had to wait all the booths were full and and there was a buzz good good there was a vibe and a buzz that it was really sleepy up there today so i don't know i don't i don't do the the the i don't set the dates for these things but you certainly could have a couple of them together and had then who knows what happens yeah my personal experience voting today there was not many people at the polling precinct three polling and there wasn't a lot of activity outside either so and there wasn't really much of a buzz overall i mean you had had two or three contested races but most of them probably uncontested i mean two candidates for both the two spots i mean the slipping race usually brings them out but i didn't really detect the usual i don't know that the passion that use just by you've just got a sign holders folk saturday morning i mean there was always competition right well door to door door to door maybe it's all underground maybe it's all social media maybe it's all facebook and twitter and that's what it does but i didn't see that that that real excitement for race to prompt people to get out just excuse me for a minute we have a one a a result from one precinct for school committee i'm told and so let's see i'll read that off for sabri murat beecher two hundred and forty two boats kimberly o'mahoney one hundred and ninety five and andrea presswich two hundred and forty six so andrea presswich has a slight lead for votes with one of eight precincts reporting at this juncture we don't know which one right i i don't it wasn't indicated up on the screen it was a prec precinct two i'm being told so does that mean anything precinct two you seem to know what each precinct might have a certain meaning or orientation what can you why don't you tell us about the various precincts anne marie each of the eight precincts really has a personality and you see that year after year in the voting no matter what it is candidates questions overrides each precinct has a personality and votes a certain way they also have a fairly predictable turnout number in this case you look at who lives in that precinct so i think you indicated that andrea does live in precinct two so this might be her home number whereas beecher lives in precinct one actually around the corner from me and i think o'mahoney lives in four okay so we should look at those three precinct numbers coming in to see how they tally how do you see the precincts it is true to a general extent i think that there's been some shifting but back when i ran you know i have more precinct eight guy that was probably more of the traditional i was probably the more traditional candidate than the less progressive candidate what they call now the liberal progressive candidate precinct one which is around the burbank and around that area is always sort of seen more of a progressive area if a conservative candidate did well in precinct one that voted pretty well eight was a heavy voting turnout precinct eight in the windbrook section that you always seem to get a pretty heavy turnout there racing seven down by oxford and marlborough street down that area you would think would have a bigger turnout but it always seemed to be relatively light and i couldn't quite figure it out maybe cause there was a lot of rental down that area i think it's a lot of rental housing w would that impact how you campaigned would you would you focus on certain precincts oh sure oh yeah absolutely you know the at least you know back in the back in the day it's been twenty years but it is what it is but you'd say you know we're going to try to you know precinct one probably wasn't my territory but if i can hold ground just dealing with me if you can just sort of tread water there and then come back in my home precinct to precinct date offset any of that you know that would be a strategy then get cause it's all down to people it all down to you know get the people out and get them to vote and dragging them to the pole let me interrupt for a moment steve we've got i think the final precinct is in for the board of selectmen and it looks like we have a definite winner in mark the incumbent mark paolillo to one thousand four hundred and thirty two votes versus a one thousand four hundred and twenty eight votes for the alexandra rubin that's with eight of eight precincts reporting so we do have a winner mark paolillo will serve his third term as selectman congratulations to mark i would think congratulations to mark and congratulations to alexandra who did at least in this man's opinion surprisingly well for someone who's been here for uh i'm surprised for two years i mean it shows that you know you hard work you can get some votes right and she obviously had a message that the board is going to listen to i would think and that that message was a transparency was one issue that she talked about and then i think particularly as regards to contracting and bidding with if i remember correctly mod comoderated a debate between mark and alexandra and so that seemed like what was her bread and butter issue i guess you have to ask the question though is it really a legitimate issue you know some of us who've been around the block would say you have to understand municipal bid laws you have to understand the process before you can start suggesting that we're not transparent you know i i guess because i'm still heavily involved i have a hard time with that knowing how hard people work to in fact be transparent and to be out there in the public excuse me we have the a winner marc paolillo on the phone whoa okay mark are you there oh excuse me mark congratulations are you there i'm here how are you mr rosalez well that's a this is jack kelly but steve rosalez i'm doing outstanding oh i didn't recognize the voice thank you very much jack okay congratulations mark tell us how you're feeling and what you know we ran a really hard campaign we ran as we ran as a as an underdog we really worked really hard for this campaign and just tonight was just the fruits of our labor and i i can't thank everyone enough in belmont for their support and their confidence in my ability to continue to serve i'm really blessed by the support that i've received across the entire political spectrum it was just incredible the outpouring of support so we're thrilled we worked really hard and you know work begins again yes well congratulations we're here with anne marie mahoney steve rosalez and parker lutz who's a student at the chenery school do any of you have questions for mark or congratulations i guess congratulations mark good job thank you anne marie i really appreciate it hey mark this is steve so you know good job so far let's see tomorrow's another day i have a pothole near to my street needs filling have a budget next thursday mark yeah you know we didn't want to take anything for granted and we really got the vote out i had worked harder at this campaign than i did in two thousand and ten and again you've seen the results tonight and i want to thank my my my opponent alexandra rubin who i think ran a a good campaign a gracious campaign she was a formidable challenger and i hope that she stays involved in town affairs that took a lot of courage to really step into a selectman's race it's really tough and i give her a lot of credit for stepping in and really waging what i thought was a very good campaign and i want to thank her supporters as well so my role now as a member of the board is to unite the community and we have a number of things that we need to focus on we've accomplished a lot over the last six years but the challenges remain and so i hope that ms rubin's supporters and the rest of the town join hands and we work together to you know to face those challenges briefly mark what were some what do you see as your key issues that you need to focus on now well i think you you know and i've said this and we had a lot of questions during the campaign but you know i think jack i think the the challenges were remained in terms of growth i mean i think our enrollment will continue to increase and because of that we'll continue to feel the fiscal pressure on our schools and in also the demand on town services so our challenges ahead is to the override helped us stabilize both school and town budgets but that work needs to continue we need to do everything we can to stretch out the utilization of the override funds we find ways to manage our costs more effectively more than we've done in the past and look for ways to deliver account services in a different way because we are faced with a a very important decision on our high school we can't let that enough grant application lasts we need to stand behind that as a community and put all of our efforts into that being a success for us and because of that capital need we really need to focus on the operating budget and and the growth that we're going to experience cause i think that enrollment will continue which projected to increase by twenty by two thousand and nineteen and that will continue to put pressure on our operating budget so that is a significant challenge for us and i think there are other issues in town that folks are really concerned about i mean i heard a lot on the campaign trail about the community path we absolutely need to solve that issue there's been too much divisiveness on that and i'm and frankly i'm just wanting to unite everyone behind a solution for that and let's just put down sort of the divisive tone and rhetoric and work together to solve that problem and there are many other issues as well we have major capital projects in reno's that's chair of the capital budget committee and we're faced with our capital needs are endless our major building projects remained and so we need to develop a sound realistic longterm plan for a major building projects going forward so like any other community nothing's nothing's been completely solved there are challenges ahead and we need to continue to focus our efforts there well congratulations again mark and please enjoy yourself tonight before you fix these potholes in the morning yeah absolutely well you know i got a i know i got a lot of grief on the campaign trail about our roads and you know frankly we have increased our investment but it still remains as an issue for our community not only our roads but our sidewalks and we have increased as anne marie knows right significantly and roads and sidewalks you know three hundred thousand on perpetuity on our roads and two hundred thousand on f it's still not enough and so we need to focus our efforts there belmont is becoming known as the as the community with bad roads and we need to we need to put that away and finally address it and i think we've done a good job over the last three years in doing that and we need to do more so steve your potholes hopefully will be fixed soon all right well again congratulations i'm sorry i can't be there in person i'm i'm here at the house we have a lot of folks here celebrating well well well deserved congratulations mark byebye thank you thanks and i think we have some more reporting from precinct two for the school committee the excuse me the housing authority and so let's get to that okay for the housing authority which is a threeyear term thomas cena olson has two hundred and eleven votes and paul richter one hundred and seventy nine and that's with one of eight precincts reporting w well anne marie and steve and parker what does the housing authority do they oversee the the public housing in the town and so when you look at well what i know as the the veterans village belmont village belmont village it was originally built as veterans preference housing after world war ii that is no longer the case but that's a big development that needs you know care upkeep i got a little more knowledge about it sitting on the cpa committee when the housing people came to the cpa and said we need money to upgrade our electrical systems and we're not getting enough from the state and we don't have enough here but we've got to fix the electrical systems in those units because it's a safety issue and so the authority oversees those kinds of things that one yes the belmont village and what i'll call sherman guidance which was i would i think originally for more of our senior citizens but that again has has changed in the composition and then the i don't know what'd they call it the waverley oaks apartments i guess right across from the the waverley oak spray park right the corner of mill street and there may be a smattering of some others but those are what it's so you know there's a lot of units there's a lot of management there's a lot of maintenance as people in there's people out there's people trying to get in there's lists you've got to maintain so it's you know it's qualifications it's so it's a it's a big job well there's a lot i wish i knew off the top of my head the number of units but it's it's it's big i don't know either it's many hundreds if not several thousand over spread out over a whole bunch of buildings with a whole bunch of their own individual problems right so it can be a it's a challenging position position and it's a very important position it's important in the town that those buildings be kept up were the two people who are running are you familiar with them i know tommy olson sort of socially i had the opportunity when i was holding a sign today to meet paul richter and had a brief conversation with him you know b both people i think brings something to the party and so i think whichever one is elected hopefully we'll have some positive influence on the board but certainly they will bring some energy and some new ideas i think that's important i think they both have passion and compassion for for their mission the overall mission they both i know thomas and olson tommy olson i'd known for many years and she's got a financial background and mr richter he lives in my neighborhood i haven't had the pleasure seen his names i've heard him i saw him at the debate i've seen him here on tv you know these nobody running has any lack of credentials everybody running for anything even town meeting brings something to the table right and and that's that's important because you know enough of these positions town meeting and town wide i've gone without opponents i get a lot out of debate unless of course i was the unopposed opponent which didn't happen to me well you you were a selectman from ninety five through ninety eight ninety five to ninety eight and what about you my mother refers to them as the golden years of belmont politics you have to love mothers absolutely that's right they always wrap with rectitude what about you you were i was on from two thousand to two thousand and four i actually left in the middle of my second term due to some family issues it just was the right thing to do at the time and before that she was twelve years on the school committee on the school committee which is probably even a more thankless job in many ways than the board of select do you uh just a question that came up in the debates for selectmen was alexandra rubin was saying that she works parttime and that would give her sufficient time and opportunity to work as selectman and mark of course is a fulltime cpa and i sure you're a fulltime lawyer et cetera how do you how do you manage both your responsibilities as selectman or any townwide office and your day job well you do you know when you when you you don't go in there with blinders on when you do this you know all the previous you've talked to the previous people that have held it and they all lie and say it doesn't cause it doesn't take much but they're all liars cause it does and but you know you make do at least when i was on the board i had the the the pleasure of serving with william monaghan who had been on the board for i don't know probably twenty years around that point time and knew what we were doing we had mel collector a very good town administrator bill skelly he was on the boards when i was the rookie these these these gentlemen you know they knew the ropes and we were a policymaking board the issue that i had the transition i've seen or the transformation that after i left seemed to be we met once a week we met probably for a couple of hours seven to nine we had our agenda we'd get our stuff at at at at friday thursday or friday we'd go through it we'd have our meeting and you hire good people much as what mark has been preaching i let the police chief do the policing i let the fire chief did i let the dpw there are problems we'd say there's problems and they'd fix them or we would deal with that but it didn't require i didn't tell them how to dig the hole i didn't tell them how to police it didn't tell them how many offices they needed to have way i left that to the professionals and and and you make do you have to the other thing you have the thing is that your phone is always on cell phones were probably in their infancy then i'm glad because they'd have but i'd have time you'd have a phone machine back in the nineties back in the old days but you know citizens they would call with potholes i made fun of mark but potholes barking dogs late nights granite curb granite curbing how come this one doesn't do my sidewalk i mean the constituent it's all local it's itp o'neill right and that's what you have to do you have to be accessible if you don't respond they may not like your answer there's only so many things you can do but you have to respond so you know that was that was a good thing and you know at ten at night it was a bad thing but it was so but you make do yeah you're in the arena you have to do that you know it's weekends it's nights and depending on how much you want to do meeting wise you were out a lot parker what about you how does your responsibilities as a president impact your other school activities your studies well i think i stay up later because homework and all that after but you really like i do work we do like the main thing what you need to do with other people in the meeting that we have and then we are we go into other groups and we do outside work that doesn't take the whole group so we're working with a couple of people but we do a lot of work outside of just our meeting just like so we're doing things that like aren't like you don't need the whole group to do so you're doing the big things that you need to do with the group and it's kind of budgeting your time the best possible way yeah let me interrupt for a moment we have some more results i think on the school committee which will be up on the board shortly here we are the school committee okay all eight precincts who reporting we have a winner and it looks like by a very small margin sabri oh excuse me this is two winners excuse me thank you sabri murat beecher and andrea presswich are the winners with one thousand nine hundred and fifty nine votes and one thousand nine hundred and thirty one votes respectively i think andrea presswich if i'm not mistaken is a astrophysicist and sabri beecher is a venture capitalist i'm i uh that's my understanding yeah so we have two people who have a very diverse and important capabilities and congratulations to both of them yeah do do you know either of those two not not not not personally no not personally just from what i read and the debates and but you know i'm very impressive i mean astrophysicist i mean they don't meet an astrophysicist everyday that's right she i was reading today that she i think runs a ten ten million program of nasa's chandra xray laboratory which is a satellite that tracks xrays and uh okay and i'm told also that morat beecher's house was this old house on this old house which was i think a restored uh victorian victorian actually it's around the corner from me they did a beautiful job with it's on school street they did a really lovely job i recall seeing joe cornish being interviewed by one of the this old house guys and he was very smooth and did belmont proud well congratulations to those school committee members and i'm hearing that we also have the housing authority finals so here it is we have one a three year term and that was won by thomas cena olson one thousand six hundred uh six hundred and eighty votes depaul richters one thousand five hundred and twenty three so congratulations to ms olson on her victory for in the housing authority and we talked about what that responsibility is earlier and that's all that's a the final on that well that's some nicer that's interesting yeah so we're moving along here on election night and i i i did want to get back to something you said steve earlier you mentioned that selectmen was in your time was a policy issue i did i are you suggesting that there's movement away from that that the the select men are getting too much involved in nuts and bolts issues and not stepping back well i can't speak for this particular board i know that mark paolillo wants envisions it as as i've heard him say even in this campaign that he wants to get back to making being a policy making board board of directors and have the the personnel of the various departments do the nuts and bolts that's their expertise right i can say that it's my impression and my observation that since i left the board in one thousand nine hundred and ninety eight that my hair was back and it was a lot thinner but people that came after me were more involved in the daytoday operations in policing and fire in dpw to the point where i thought it was meddling personally because my different strokes i didn't get elected reelected so you know that's to the victor go the spoils but but it it it's not their expertise it's not the job of the selectmen right hire good people you don't like they're not doing it you hire other people that's how you do it that's how it all sort of works i believe in sort of that vertical chain and wasn't sort of looking over the whole right how that was done so i just personally think that that's not the role of selectmen though the people obviously have differed i kind of speak for anne marie i have to say that i agree with steve and i think that but i i also agree that there was a transition and it was certainly taking place while i was there on the board and that was a piece of the tension on the board for a number of years i agree with steve that the board of selectmen should be a policy board you hire a town administrator you give that individual you know power and authority and you let them do their job and as you say police chief fire chief you know whoever it is we have a number of other you know boards whether elected or appointment like the board of health like the board of library trustees and they oversee their department board of selectmen should just be the policy board but i will say in the years that i was there we did get way too into how many police officers should we have and uh and what equipment they should have what equipment they should have and other issues i said granite curb when you were listing things because i spent more time on the board of selectmen on dogs and granite curb and none of that is policy barking dogs were the worst the barking dog but i went to court on barking dogs see i didn't have that joy yeah lucky me and so yes i agree and i think you've had different personalities and different styles on the board since then i think with someone like a ral ralph jones has tried to pull back to just be a policy board mark and i think that's a good thing to start getting away from that is not a good thing well that should be an issue that is watched and in the next with the selectmen we have some information of the seventeen thousand registered voters we have a twenty three voted three three thousand nine hundred approximately voted in today's election that's uh somewhat dispiriting yup it is where were we just the other day were we at seventy sixty seventy on match one i mean it was a it was an astounding number it was in the 60s it was a very high number right well so maybe there is something to your point about there was an overload you know that the presidential primaries and so people are thinking about other things now maybe there is something to that what what's your take on that parker how do you well i think a lot people are more informed with the presidential election you see it on the news a lot more and i think a lot of you get a lot of information not like you go on websites cnn it's all politics when you come like belmont you get information about these political people but you're not as well informed and i think people aren't trying they're not trying they want to make an educated vote and i think they're if they're not educated on someone they don't want to just vote for them to vote for them they want to know what that person's about and know about that person you've been lucky enough i think to be on a panel with two former select select people and have held other positions too do you think you'd like to get involved in local state federal politics at some juncture i think in the future that would be something i'd be interested in like to make it better didn't get back to as you said a p a policymaking system and the gov town government okay you will still have to fix up potholes when we call you know i know you know it's precinct one and i don't know how he did we had a person running for town meeting who was a freshman in college he was just graduated from uh belmont high school derek uh david oh i have it i have it here hold on i have it here i got actually have uh here it is daniel furnick daniel yes and he he was saying one of his concerns was that the the voice of youth is not being heard and that they have some very good ideas that that should be heard in the political forum town meeting absolutely he also mentioned something that he was quite concerned with
