In one of only three contested ward city council tests this year in Haverhill, Oliver Aguilo, a city engineer with Lawrence and 20-year resident of Haverhill, is taking on incumbent Michael S. McGonagle, a Haverhill native, to represent Ward 6 on Haverhill's City Council. McGonagle owns a real estate company.Both candidates appeared on WHAV's morning show and answered a series of questions about issues facing the city. Here are their answers in the order the candidates appear on the ballot.Why are you running for City Council?“Well, this would be my ninth term and I've done a lot of good things, I believe, and I would like to continue working for the people of Haverhill,” McGonagle said.“As a city engineer, I notice a lot of things that are really bad in the city that need to be addressed right away. That's what I am running for,” Aguilo said.Is Haverhill building too much housing?“I believe that if we build more, we get more tax revenue.  You increase the tax base,” McGonagle said.“We need to grow with the city. If we are going to build more houses, we need to make sure we have enough water for everyone,” Aguilo said.What can the City Council do to promote more affordable housing?“We passed a nice project last night (Oct. 28) at the City Council meeting of four units in a place where there was run-down garage over in the Bradford area. That's the type of development we need so people can have homeownership,” McGonagle said.“If we have more houses, then probably prices will go down,” Aguilo said.The death of Francis P. Gigliotti II while in police custody and the death of Officer Katelyn M. Tully have left the public looking for answers, especially in light of changes at the top of the police department. Do you think the public has the right to know more and how quickly and what types of information do you think is properly withheld?“I do believe that the public deserves to know. The families deserve to know. The reputation of the Haverhill Police Department needs to be cleared if there is a cloud hanging over it, and I believe that's what the mayor has done by making these changes at the top,” McGonagle said.“I think the public has the right to know everything that is going on. The only thing that I think the police department has to cover is any information related to the investigation. If it is going to interfere with the investigation, it has to be private. Other than that, it has to be public to every resident,” Aguilo said.Do you think residential property taxes are too low, too high or just right?“About right. And if you want an explanation, I can go there. I just think Haverhill is one of the most affordable towns or cities in the Merrimack Valley. With all we have to offer we're a good place to be,” McGonagle said.“There are lot of families struggling right now. It is a bad situation right now. Economically, a lot of people are struggling and I am one of those persons having trouble with the economy,” Aguilo said.What city departments would be your top candidates for cuts?“The budget is pretty substantial, over $200 million. And you have to look at line item by line item. I couldn't just tell you, ‘Hey, this is something we're going to cut'”, McGonagle said.“Right now I don't really have an answer to that question right now,” Aguilo said.The final day to vote in Haverhill's general election is Tuesday, Nov. 4. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. To check on a poll location, residents may visit the Massachusetts Secretary of State's office online.Support the show

Daniel R. Diodati, a fourth generation Hillie, is competing with Veronica A. Rodriguez, also a Haverhill native, to represent Ward 2 on the Haverhill City Council in January. The winner replaces Katrina Hobbs Everett who chose not to run again.Diodati manages Berkshire Hathaway real estate offices in Haverhill. Rodriquez works for the Lawrence office of the state Department of Children and Families. Each recently appeared on WHAV's morning show and answered six questions on challenging issues in the city. Here are their answers in the order their names appear on the ballot.Why do you want to serve on City Council?“With the skills that I have I really feel like I can contribute and I thought it was time to throw my hat in the ring. The reason is civic engagement being so low, it was time for someone like myself to step up and try to make a difference.” Diodati said.“I love Haverhill first of all and, lately, it's been in the news for some of the wrong things. I don't think you can complain if you don't try to make a difference so that's why I want to serve,” Rodriguez said.There is a perception Haverhill is building too much housing. Do you agree?“I do think there could be a smarter way to develop residential housing if we really look at homeownership. Homeownership is super, super important in any community,” Diodati said.“I think that we should fix the places that we have that are abandoned first. I think we need to get more creative because all that housing is going to bring a lot traffic, it is going to bring other problems. So, we need to maybe think outside of the box to help because we do have a housing crisis,” Rodriguez said.What can the City Council do to promote more affordable housing?“Between homeownership, development of new construction that is based on owner-occupied projects, mixed in with ADU (accessory dwelling unit) use, I think it is a great start. And, things are in motion to do that. I just hope to simplify things and make it a little bit better,” Diodati said.“We do have a housing trust but there's no money in it. I think maybe if some of these new developments, we should maybe make them pay into that so we do have some funds so we can think of some projects we can do for affordable housing,” Rodriguez said.The death of Francis P. Gigliotti II while in police custody and the death of Officer Katelyn M. Tully have left the public looking for answers, especially in light of changes at the top of the police department. Do you think the public has the right to know more and how quickly and what types of information do you think is properly withheld?“Just to have a little bit more transparency in the process and how it is messaged to the public whether it be through an actually press conference, not necessarily through just making social media posts, etc. If there is no news to report, then report that there is no news to report,” Diodati said.“I think they did a good job informing the public. They put it out there right away. I do think that out of respect for her family, the cause of death and those types of things should be kept private just out of respect. I think they should be transparent. The public is what put them in. We pay for their jobs so we definitely need to know what's going on. We need to know,” Rodriguez said.Do you believe residential property taxes are too low, too high or about right?“Too high. Because mindset is everything to me. And I do think we act upon on our thoughts. As long as we are controlling in our head that taxes are too high, we are going to work to keep them as low as possible,” Diodati said.“When I am paying them, I think they are too high but when I compare them to other cities, they're not so high.” Rodriguez said.What specifSupport the show

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the feeling of “winning” and the sense of momentum that he and his listeners share, despite what he describes as negativity from the media and pundits. From there, he transitions into a deeper reflection inspired by Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, exploring themes of comfort, boredom, and purpose in modern life. Brett argues that society has grown too addicted to instant pleasure—through streaming, scrolling, and constant distraction—and lost touch with meaning and growth. He emphasizes that boredom and discomfort are not enemies, but essential catalysts for creativity, resilience, and self-discovery. We’re joined by Terry Donovan from Charlotte to talk about her campaign for mayor and her focus on public safety and civic engagement. Donovan, a Republican candidate, tells host Brett Winterble that she entered the race because she could no longer sit back and watch as crime and division grew in the city. She stresses that Charlotte faces a serious public safety crisis, with CMPD understaffed and residents increasingly fearful. Donovan calls for a change in leadership and attitude at City Council, arguing that acknowledging the problem is the first step toward fixing it. She emphasizes unity, saying that safety is not a partisan issue—it’s something everyone deserves regardless of background or neighborhood. Donovan also encourages citizens to get involved, attend council meetings, and hold leaders accountable. Her campaign message is clear: “We’ve got to take our city back.

New York City is on the cusp of an election in which what once looked impossible has begun to seem inevitable. Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist member of the New York state Assembly, is heavily favored to beat Andrew Cuomo, New York's onetime Democratic governor and a former icon of the party establishment, in a race for mayor that has become among the most-watched in the nation.Cuomo and Mamdani articulate two vastly different visions for New York City — and where the Democratic Party is going overall. This week on The Intercept Briefing, Akela Lacy speaks to people hoping to see each of those two visions fulfilled.“Traditionally, we've thought about politics as left, right, and center,” says Alyssa Cass, a Democratic strategist who has worked on local and national campaigns. “Zohran offered a message that was less about ideology and more about disrupting a failed status quo that is working for almost no one.”Cass, who worked on Andrew Yang's mayoral campaign in 2021, isn't working for Mamdani but says his candidacy indicates “that Democrats can win when we have ideas.”In the view of Jim Walden, a former mayoral candidate who is now backing Cuomo, those ideas are “dangerous and radical policies.” He says Mamdani's popularity is an indication that “there's going to be a flirtation with socialism and maybe some populist push” among Democrats. But “ultimately,” Walden says, “the party will come back closer to the center.”Chi Ossé, a City Council member who endorsed Mamdani, sees Mamdani's success as evidence of the opposite. “We could have gone back to or continued this trend of electing centrist, moderate Democrats,” Ossé says. Instead, he thinks that New Yorkers want “someone who ran as a loud and proud democratic socialist who has always fought on the left.”While New York City is preparing for a general election, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa is unlikely to win — turning the race almost into a second Democratic primary. “The party is now confronted with a choice,” said Lacy, “between a nominee who has become the new face of generational change in politics and a former governor fighting for his political comeback. The results could reveal where the party's headed in next year's midterms and beyond.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.You can support our work at theintercept.com/join.
