We hear State Rep in Haines Sq Paul Donato got the FOUR HUNDRED GRAND for the city...did Paul URGE BREANNA to do this? Is Mr. Donato ENDORSING Breanna Lungo Koehn?

 Is Former Mayor Donato Backing Breanna?

Is Paul the fellow that pushed Breanna to go with this and are they working together? 

Paul is in the photo op. If true, Petrella and Falco have another hurdle as former mayor Donato knows how to win elections.  

Donato is ULTRA CLOSE to Mike McGlynn, which is more evidence that McGlynn is purportedly going to drop Falco for Breanna!

 

 Rumor is that Paul Donato helped land the four hundred thousand dollars, but it languished in Medford and was not put to use.

The question now is:

 Did Paul Donato make this happen AND is 

Mr. Donato endorsing Breanna Lungo Koehn?

 

Medford History:

I first met Mr. Donato when he was a manufacturer's rep who would visit us at my dad's Taylor Adams company on 183 Park St.  

That was 1971-1973, before Paul became mayor ...we moved the company to Somerville in 1974.    I was VP of  the corporation and our staff included Johnny Byers' dad, his grandma and his aunt Josephine whom I would drive home to Chipman St every night.  

                        What great people !

Johnny's uncle Al owned CARDEE TEST BORING on Locust St.  and for years as a teenager I was his personal caddy (along with being caddy for my dad)...the two guys won the Calcutta at Indian Ridge Country Club back in the day. 

Coincidentally, my dad lived with uncle Benny on Park Street probably in the 1940s with cousins on my mom's side living on Sharon St.

That we built a company on Park St a few houses down from uncle Benny's house was merely a coincidence.

More interesting Medford information, Johnny's grandma, Natalie Fratto Byers, and my grandma (and grandpa and my mom and my aunt) lived next door to each other in East Boston.   I only met Johnny Byers in 2010 during the TV3 battles.  He was a terrific friend.

Notice the former Panda Palace in the photo to the right?  We had storage in the storefront next to the restaurant (to the right) and in the basement. I would personally oversee that operation, the company renting on Park Street and off Salem Street.   The good old days when I would go to concerts after work...

Carl Galusi (the former Ziggy Bush on TV3) would visit us often as he worked with Hunt Pharmacy in Malden (later Hunt Photo and Video)...a long time ago on a planet far, far away
