The City Council approved a motion by Ward 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro that Mayor Brian Arrigo direct Police Chief David Callahan to install a solar-powered message board on a main road in Revere in support of corrections officer Matthew Tidman that will read, “Tidman Strongâ€.
Cogliandro said in his motion that “on August 31, 2022, while on duty, Mr. Tidman was struck in the head with a 10-to-15-pound gym weights multiple times which resulted in life-threatening injuries.â€
“As a show of support, many cities and towns have begun placing these message boards on roads to show support,†concluded Cogliandro in his motion.
