Feast of St. Rocco Banquet Photo Highlights see page 9 Vol. 20, No. 18 -FREE- www.advocatenews.net Matheson fl oats water proposals By Barbara Taormina W ard 3 Councillor John Matheson asked fellow councillors to join him in supporting a resolve not to raise water and sewer rates this year. Councillors seemed divided on the idea and agreed to postpone voting on it until more information is available about this year’s budget and the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority’s annual assessment for the city. “I don’t believe there’s an intention of raising rates this year and that’s a good thing,” said Matheson. But he also pointed to the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund’s surplus as evidence that there’s no need or justifi cation to hike water and sewer bills. Matheson has been making the case that it’s unfair to charge rate payers amounts that exceed the cost of operating the city’s water and sewer system to the point where the city is able to squirrel away millions in surplus dollars for future capital improvement projects. Councillor-at-Large Stephen Winslow cast shade on Matheson’s idea and said more information is needed to make a thoughtful assessment about a resolution that he suggested really didn’t mean anything. “Limiting rates plays well, but for us to vote on this without more information would be irresponsible,” added Ward 7 Councillor Neal Anderson. But Councillor-at-Large Published Every Friday 617-387-2200 Friday, May 3, 2019 rida May 3, 2019 City celebrates dedication of Alex Gentile Memorial Park JOHN MATHESON Ward 3 Councillor Craig Spadafora admitted Malden’s water and sewer rates are astronomical and the idea of not increasing them is attractive. Still, like other councillors, Spadafora wants more facts before an actual vote. “None of us want to raise water rates,” said Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon, who added he would support Matheson’s resolve. “It’s a resolve,” he said, implying it’s not something councillors would be married to. Matheson also proposed asking the city engineer and the director of public works for a report on the cost and time needed to fi nish replacing the public and private lead service lines that connect homes and businesses to the city’s water mains. Matheson again pointed to the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund’s surplus and suggested there was enough money available to replace WATER | SEE PAGE 11 $2.55 GALLON Shown from left to right are DPW Director Bob Knox, Penny and Gerry Gentile, Mayor Gary Christenson and Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy during the dedication of the Alex Gentile Memorial Park.

The project, which Strategic Planner Ron Hogan presented to the City Council last week, calls for replacing 13,165 feet of aging cast-iron pipes with cement-lined ductile iron pipes. In addition to design work, the other major cost will be repairing and rebuilding roads that are torn up to install the new pipes. The project is also expected to replace roughly 300 lead service lines that connect the water mains to individual properties. The city plans to use the money to tap into the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority’s local assistance program which off ers zero-interest loans. The project will be paid for with a $6.3 million surplus from the Water and Sewer Enterprise fund and $2.3 million in Chapter 90 state aid for roads and infrastructure. Although the $6.6 million bonding request is on its way to the Finance Committee for review, according to the administration there’s not much to talk about. Hogan said the existing cast-iron mains have decades’ worth of built up corrosion that restricts water fl ow and could cause problems for city fi refi ghters. Corrosion can also create pockets inside pipes that can potentially bePLAN | SEE PAGE 11

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 3, 2019 Page 3 CELEBRATES | FROM PAGE 1 suff ered a painful loss last June when Alex passed away at age 21. To help cope with that loss, Mayor Gary Christenson and Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy joined forces to create a lasting tribute to Alex by renaming Forestdale Park in his honor, a project that won unanimous support from the Public Works Commission. At Sunday’s dedication ceremony, the crowd cheered as Alex’s parents, Penny and Gerald, unveiled an engraved granite stone that officially launched a new era at Forestdale with the Alex Gentile Memorial Park. Chiseled under the park’s new name is the epitaph, Challenger Baseball Allstar, just one of Alex’s many accomplishments and contributions to the community. “Having a park named after Alex to give him a lasting legacy – it’s incredible,” said Gerald Gentile. “We don’t have words for it.” Alex grew up in the Ward 5 neighborhood and went to school at Forestdale, where he fell in love with sports and particularly with baseball. He was a member of Malden’s fi rst Challenger Baseball team which, back in 2007, was known as the Malden West Little League Challenger program. Today, Malden’s team is part of the Massachusetts District 12 Challenger Division and they are headed to the Little League World Series, where they will play a Challenger Division Exhibition Game. walker. “Sometimes he would play, and sometimes he would sit and watch and cheer on his teammates” she said. That was Alex, a person who to Boston and he would always laugh and chat with everyone along the way. People were his joy. He was our joy.” At Malden High, Alex was known as a guy who could light up a room just by being there. An avid Malden High sports fan, he cheered endlessly at school sporting events. A member of the graduating class of 2015, he was crowned Honorary Mr. Malden High School at the end of his senior year. Other students depended on him for his ability to make any day a better day. The Gentiles are committed to keeping Alex’s spirit alive and at work among the many friends, acquaintances and people he hardly knew but loved anyway. They have started an Alex Gentile Memorial scholarship fund, and Team Alex will compete in the city’s upcoming Special Olympics. Now, the Alex Gentile Memorial Park will become a real and lasting symbol of Alex’s legacy. “It’s amazing how much the community has come together for him – our friends, people in Malden, everyone who knew him – it’s just amazing,” said Penny Gentile. Alex Gentile, with his father, Gerry, gets ready to play ball at a Challenger League baseball game. “Alex started out playing in his wheelchair,” recalled Penny Gentile, who added that he eventually took his place on the fi eld with the help of his was naturally drawn to others and genuinely happy to share some conversation and company. “He loved people,” said Penny Gentile. “We would go ~ Political Announcement ~ Stephen Winslow announces his Re-election Bid for Councillor at Large I am committed to continuing have been honored to serve as one of Malden’s three Councillors at Large these past two years.

Page 4 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 3, 2019 Malden High School students travel to Washington, D.C. F or most high school students, April vacation represents a time to refresh and prepare for the fi nal months of the school year. Yet this year, a dedicated group of 15 students from Malden High School took the time during April vacation to visit Washington, D.C., and learn more about the history of our nation. The trip was sponsored by the Malden Teen Enrichment Center (MTEC) through generous donations from The Adelaide Breed Bayrd Foundation and a longtime anonymous supporter of MTEC. The trip, which took place from April 16 to 19, was a whirlwind of activity from the moment the students stepped off the plane at 7:30 Tuesday morning until they arrived back at the airport at 8:00 p.m. Friday evening. Luckily, throughout the week the participants were treated to a luxury coach bus which took The Malden Teen Enrichment Center and the Adelaide Breed Bayrd Foundation recently funded a trip for 15 students from Malden High School to visit Washington, D.C., during their April vacation.

The students who took part in the trip were Sabrina Alayan, Nykenge Blue, Michelle Chan, Helen Eshetu, Joao Ferreira, Paolina Fornari, Lana Giha, Nina Gilliam, Alain Joseph, Rasmee Ky, Felix Li, Rebecca Pereira, Terrell Pesaturo, Abhishek Rana and Birukti Tsige. The trip started with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, including the JFK Gravesite and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Students then spent the afternoon at the recently opened National Museum of African American History & Culture. But the day wasn’t over then; after dinner the students visited the Lincoln, Vietnam Veterans, and Korean Memorials. Day two was just as busy as students started at the National Zoo, followed by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Ford’s Theatre and the Petersen House, with a visit to the Jeff erson, FDR, Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial and the World War II Memorial. That was a very late night! On day three the students had an opportunity to visit the White House and White House Visitor Center as well the National Archives. That afternoon students had an opportunity to visit the various museums at the Smithsonian Institution. The fi nal day of the trip had the students traveling to Mt. Vernon and touring George Washington’s Mansion in the morning and taking a tour of the U.S. Capitol Building. The students were fortunate enough to have time to visit U.S. Congresswoman Katherine Clark’s offi ce as part of the visit to the Capitol, which was quite exciting for the students. After the Capitol Building the students had a chance to explore the Library of Congress and continue sightseeing at the Smithsonian. Unfortunately, the trip became a bit longer as inclement weather along the Eastern Seaboard saw the students’ fl ight delayed by more than four hours. Their arrival at midnight at Logan Airport was delayed until 4:00 a.m. – so there were many sleepy eyes by the time they arrived! As part of the trip, individual students were assigned a location that they were responsible for reporting on. It was great to see the students taking copious notes while they were visiting their location and taking their responsibilities seriously. Sometime in May the students will be making a presentation to Board Members of the Bayrd Foundation as well as city and school offi cials in Malden. As the students were waiting for the return fl ight, they took the opportunity to discuss together what they found most impactful of all the sights they saw. Without a doubt, the majority of students shared that the Holocaust Museum had the greatest influence on them. They all agreed that while they had read about the Holocaust in history books, seeing what people went through and hearing presentations from survivors gave them a whole new perspective.

After a brief business meeting, longtime member Mary Hampton will present a talk on “Native Americans in Early Malden: Nanapashemet, Squaw Sachem, and Their People.” Some might be familiar with the name of Nanapashemet, who was the leader of the band of Indians who made their home in the area known as Mystic Side before the coming of the English settlers. But they might be less familiar with his story or that of his successors: his spouse Squaw Sachem and their children: Wonohaquaham, Montowampate and Wenepoykin. Before English settlers arrived in the 1620s and 30s, Eastern Massachusetts was home to diverse bands of Native Americans belonging to the Algonquian language group, with some occupying the territory north of the Charles River, including what later became Malden.

Malden head coach Steve Freker said the bad weather stretch forced a scheduling logjam which featured three games in as many days. “We do not have much of a choice since there are only so many days left to play games on the calendar,” coach Freker said. “The good part of it is that we won two out of three and got three great pitching performances in three straight outings.” Malden now sits at 4-6 overall at exactly the halfway point of the season. On Monday, Malden topped Everett, 8-7, led by some standout pitching and big bats. Senior lefty Billy Stickney improved to 2-1 on the mound by going the distance and allowing just two earned runs. Malden led 5-0 on some run production driven by senior captains Stickney (2-for-3, 2 RBIs), Christian Monahan-Dasilva (3-for4, 3 RBIs) and Ari Cohen (double, 1 RBI). Everett capitalized on some Malden errors to get back in the game, but Stickney and some defensive work by senior captain Cam Oliveira closed out the game and the win. On Tuesday, Malden “played its best game of the year,” according to coach Freker, in a 5-2 win over Medford on the road at Playstead Park. Monahan-Dasilva improved to 2-0 on the year with his second complete game pitching eff ort. He also helped his own cause by knocking in three runs on two hits. “Christian [Dasilva] kept Medford off -balance all day with a good mix of pitches. He’s just an excellent athlete and without a lot of pitching experience, just toughed out a big win for us,” coach Freker said. Malden got a solid, steady pitching performance from junior lefthander Devin Killoren, who went the distance SPORTS | SEE PAGE 11 ~ Malden High School Sports Roundup ~ MHS boys’ tennis team off to its best start in years at 5-2 By Steve Freker he Malden High School boys tennis team is off to its best start in several seasons with a 5-2 overall record (4-2 Northeastern Conference) after a 3-2 win in a home match versus Revere on Monday.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 3, 2019 Page 11 City Council calls for fi nancial guidelines on blue bag sales By Barbara Taormina esidents hoping to buy a few Pay-As-You-Throw blue trash bags at the Senior Center will have to wait while the city works out the details. Councillor-at-Large Debbie DeMaria’s simple proposal to stock and sell the blue bags at the Senior Center quickly turned into a broader discussion about accounting procedures during this week’s City Council meeting. Councillors felt the city needed to develop clear instructions on how to handle the cash receipts before any bags go on sale. DeMaria said the idea to sell trash bags at the Senior Center came in the wake of the Stop & Shop strike, which made it diffi cult for some residents to fi nd WATER | FROM PAGE 1 the lead service lines at a much faster pace than the 12year schedule the city in now working on. “I think we can do much better than that,” he said And again, the reaction among councillors was somewhat mixed. Ward 4 Councillor Ryan O’Malley pointed out that Matheson had just proposed a resolve not to raise water and sewer rates. “How do you propose paying for this type of substantial increase in expenditures on our water system without increasing water and sewer rates?” he asked. Matheson responded that the current $8 million water and sewer fund surplus plus the city’s ability to borrow money should cover the cost of lead line replacements. Winslow agreed that information is always a good, but he cautioned that the council needs to be mindful of the time they are demanding of the staff. He said the councillors received an update on service line replacements a few months ago and they should avoid making repetiSPORTS | FROM PAGE 10 and scattered seven hits, but the Golden Tornadoes defense was faulty, with a wheelbarrow full of infi eld mistakes which led to no earned runs in an 8-4 loss to visiting Revere. “Devin [Killoren] pitched great but we did not back him up at all,” coach Freker said. “It was his fi rst varsity pitching start and R bags to buy. Stop & Shop sells more blue bags than any of the other locations where they’re available. “We could start it off on a trial basis,” said DeMaria, who suggested a 30-day pilot program with a limited number of bags. “It would help our older residents who don’t drive.” While councillors praised the spirit of the proposal, most agreed that even a limited pilot program should start with a clear set of guidelines on handling and transferring cash from the Senior Center to the Treasurer’s Offi ce. “I’ve sat here long enough to see what happens when there isn’t a document that outlines how cash moves from one place to another,” said Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy. tive requests for information. But other councillors felt Matheson was on to something. “I think it’s worthwhile fi nding out what it costs,” said Anderson. “If we can reduce the time it takes to replace these lead service lines, I think we would all be doing a good service for the city.” Ward 5 Councillor Barbara Murphy said this wasn’t a repetitive request for information but rather a request for additional information beyond the recent update on service line replacements which reflects the thought process of the engineering and public works departments. “We’ve never been presented with options,” said Murphy, who wondered if and how the service line replacement program could be expedited. “I think this is a good exercise and I want to understand the information.” Other councillors agreed that a fuller picture of the total lead service line replacement program would be useful, and they voted in favor of requesting the report from the public works and engineering departments. was fantastic. Hopefully, we clean up the mistakes and get back on track. We are young, but that’s no excuse 10 games in; we just have to play better next time.” Malden is back in action today on the road at Marblehead (4:00 p.m.) and then returns home to host Danvers on Monday, May 6 at 6:00 p.m. at Maplewood Park in Malden. Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora said even though the amount of money generated through blue bag sales might be relatively small, there still needs to be a procedure in place. “The reason I think we need to make a mountain out of a mole hill is because we have been burned,” he said. Malden does have a history of employee theft. In 2008, former Treasurer’s Department employee Gia DeSantis and eight others were charged with stealing more than $500,000 from the city’s property tax receipts. In 2016, a former city employee was indicted for larceny, forgery and conspiracy in a case that involved stealing thousands of dollars in checks from the Permits, Inspections & Planning Offi ce (PIPS). PLAN | FROM PAGE 1 come breeding grounds for bacteria. And old pipes leak and lose water that’s billed to Malden ratepayers. The project proposal that’s now on the table will replace mains on 27 streets that are divided into batches. Work on Boylston, Willow and Oliver Streets is expected to begin later this year and be completed by 2020. Mains are scheduled to be replaced on Evelyn Place, Harnden Road and Chestnut and Lincoln Streets by 2021. The following year, the replacement project will shift to Cliff Court, Cliff Terrace and Cliff , Columbia, Davis and Pagnum Streets. Next in line will be Thatcher, Sawyer and Montvale Streets, Murray Hill Road, Grandville Avenue and Granville Place. During the fi - nal year of the project, mains In January of this year, the state’s Offi ce of the Inspector General (OGI) recommended that the city hire a chief fi nancial offi cer to manage fi nancial transactions in all city departments. The OGI noted that for the past eight years, Malden’s outside auditor has repeatedly recommended that the city tighten its controls and management of all cash-handling activities to decrease the risk of theft and fraud. According to the OGI, in 2016 the city did develop some improved fi nancial controls and policies in response to the PIPS case, including tasking the Controller’s Offi ce with creating a Financial Policies and Procedures Manual for all city departments. But by 2018, the OIG found that some of those will be replaced on Clarence Terrace, Blomerth, Lily, Maurice, Victor and Grimshaw Streets and “Alley.” The estimated cost for new water mains is $6.7 million while road repairs and reconstruction is expected to run about $8.5 million. In his presentation Hogan noted that waterworks on more than half of the streets included in the project were completely or partially denew fi nancial controls had fallen by the wayside, and the policies and procedures manual was still incomplete. As a result of these concerns over how the city manages cash, the council is drawing a hard line at trash bag sales at the Senior Center and insisting on an outline of policies and procedures as the fi rst step. Although DeMaria’s proposal and the convenience it would offer many residents was put on hold, there was some good blue bag news made at this week’s council meeting. The Ordinance Committee plans to look at other potential locations for the sale of the bags and other possible ways of making them available, such as mailing them out to residents. signed by CDM Smith, the engineering firm Malden originally hired to upgrade the city’s water system in 2010. But under CDM Smith, water main replacements fell way behind schedule and ran way over budget. In 2016, the city severed ties with CDM Smith and suspended work on the water system until the roads that were dug up to install new pipes could be rebuilt. LAW OFFICES OF JOSEPH D.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 3, 2019 ~ Op-Ed ~ Page 13 Matheson misleading voters T hose that know my style as Mayor know that I prefer to stay positive and look forward. However, when someone goes to great lengths to mislead the residents of Malden for the benefi t of a few votes, the record must be set straight. First, the facts of the aging nature of our water distribution are real. We have over 126 miles of water mains, with over 30 miles of it over 100 years old, and another 20 miles being over 75 years old. We have thousands of lead service lines. To just address the pipes over 100 years old would cost over $100 million in today’s dollars. These issues weren’t created while I was Mayor, but I have two choices. I can ignore the problem with the full knowledge that the system won’t likely fail in a catastrophic way while I’m Mayor. Kick the can down the road if you will. Or I can accept that we have a great responsibility to future generations to continue to address this issue, balancing costs with the importance of clean and safe drinking water. I’ve chosen the latter. I wish I could tell you that this problem could be addressed without any fi nancial impact, but I’d be lying to you. I won’t do that. Several years ago, we began building what we call ‘reserves’ in our water/sewer enterprise fund. Reserves are meant to both stabilize rates during periods of high fl uctuations and provide capital for investment in our infrastructure on a ‘pay as you go’ basis. It’s not only appropriate but it’s smart. Being keenly aware of the continued task ahead of us, the intent was to combine reserves raised from current and past ratepayers with bond proceeds, which are paid back from future ratepayers, to fund continued improvements in our water infrastructure in a fair and balanced way. These are all part of the rate setting discussions that happen annually. Rates are voted on annually by the Public Works Commission at a public meeting. Councillor Matheson has skipped every one of these meetings. In fact, Matheson has paid little attention to our water infrastructure needs until he decided to run for Mayor and needed something to campaign on. To label this prudent approach an unfair tax on ratepayers that should be returned is to show a lack of knowledge of the basic fi nancial principles of operating a water/sewer infrastructure. It is of course a good headline, but still a shameful misrepresentation. There is no question that the cost of water has become a strain for many. I’m keenly aware of this fact and it weighs heavily on me as we consider making investments in our infrastructure. I wish we could go back 75 years and begin putting away funds for this. The annual MWRA rate study shows how we compare to surrounding communities in water billing for what they consider a ‘typical’ household. It makes clear that Councillor Matheson’s contention that we are treating our residents unfairly as compared to surrounding communities is just another empty campaign headline. The political season is upon us, and with that will come the usual posturing. But water quality is too important to use it as a tool to garner votes. I plan on being around this City for the rest of my life. Councillor Matheson has advocated for a ‘do nothing’ approach that is indicative of someone who is interested in being Mayor for reasons other than this city’s future. Investing in the future isn’t glamorous. We don’t have a ribbon cutting when we replace a water main or a lead line. But as long as I’m Mayor, I’ll continue to make those hard decisions. I won’t try to buy your vote by promising something that’s not real or by selling out future generations.

Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives’ and senators’ votes on roll calls from the week of April 22-26. All House roll calls are on proposed amendments to the $42.7 billion fiscal 2020 state budget that the House considered for four days last week. A LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE BUDGET “DEBATE” Most of the decisions on which of the amendments are included and not included in the budget are made behind closed doors. Of the 1,369 budget amendments proposed, most of them are bundled into consolidated amendments. This year there were nine consolidated amendments and all but two were approved unanimously and without real debate. Those two each received only one vote against them. The system works as follows: Individual representatives file amendments on various topics. All members are then invited to “subject meetings” in Room 348 where they pitch their amendments to Democratic leaders who draft consolidated amendments that include some of the individual representatives’ amendments while excluding others. The categories of consolidated amendments include education and local aid; veterans and social services; and housing and mencan bring it to the fl oor and ask for an up or down vote on the amendment itself. They say this system has worked well for many years. Opponents say that rarely, if ever, does a member bring his or her amendment to the fl oor for an up-or-down vote because that is not the way the game is played. It is an “expected tradition” that you accept the fate of your amendment as determined by Democratic leaders. Opponents also say this archaic inside system takes power away from individual members and forces legislators to vote for or against a package of amendments. They argued that individual amendments should be considered on a one-by-one basis on the House fl oor. $42.7 BILLION FISCAL 2020 BUDGET House 155-1, approved the House version of a $42.7 billion fi scal 2020 state budget and sent it to the Senate.

Supporters said the budget is a fi scally responsible one that makes vital investments in the state while continuing fiscal responsibility and not raising taxes. Chief budget writer and Ways and Means Chair Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston) said that the budget was crafted out of members’ shared priorities and funds many important programs including housing, substance abuse and the environment. He noted that this is a budget of which all members can be proud. “The state budget is a reflection of our values and the lack of a black or Latino member in leadership was apparent in the House budget,” said Rep. Russell Holmes (D-Boston), the lone vote against the budget. “Former Rep. Byron Rushing would not have stood for the New England Center for Arts & Technology and Teen Empowerment not being funded and neither will I.” Holmes said the House missed the experience of former House Ways and Means chair Brian Dempsey who would have resisted and not have given in to [Speaker] DeLeo’s urges for “retaliation against” him by not fully funding Sportsman’s Tennis Club, No Books No Ball and the Lena Park Community Center. Holmes charged that Speaker DeLeo and Ways and Means chair Aaron Michlewitz (DBoston) crossed a line, and in doing so, hurt his constituents. “The speaker and Aaron padded their districts with earmarks for Winthrop and the North End on the backs of removing funds that provide services for poor African-Americans and Hispanics,” continued Holmes. “It is a racket and the racketeering is to support lobbyists, unions, fundraisers/donors and former legislators.

Answers on page 20 The amendment would reduce the stipend for the Senate president and speaker from $80,000 to $50,000; Senate and House Ways and Means Chairs from $65,000 to $35,000; Senate and House Majority Leaders from $60,000 to $30,000; and House speaker Pro Tempore and Senate Pro Tempore from $50,000 to $25,000. All other 152 members of the House would receive a stipend of $15,000. The amendment also reduces the current annual general expense allowance for each legislator from $15,000 to $12,500 for members whose districts are within a 50-mile radius of the Statehouse and from $20,000 to $17,500 for districts located outside of that radius. This allowance is used at the discretion of individual legislators to support a variety of costs including the renting of a district offi ce, contributions to local civic groups and the printing and mailing of newsletters. Legislators are issued a 1099 from the state and are required to report the allowance as income but are not required to submit an accounting of how they spend it. Amendment supporters noted the proposal is based on the pay structure for the U.S. Congress where only a few positions have higher salaries and is designed to eliminate the pay inequity for representatives. “Every two years, representatives arrive as a group of peers to the Statehouse that are elected from across the commonwealth,” said the amendment’s sponsor Rep. Russell Holmes (D-Boston). “We arrive as equals. That equality, under the current system, evaporates quickly upon the election of the speaker. Unfortunately, the speaker uses the authority of the naming of committee assignments and selecting a leadership team to manipulate the members for his causes and to work against one another. The amendment’s goal is to level the playing fi eld and begin to end that manipulation.” Opponents said the speaker and representatives in the leadership and committee chairs have a much heavier workload and deserve a higher salary. They noted that the current pay structure is based on a 2014 report of a bipartisan special commission set up to review the compensation of the state government and its bodies. The salary was determined to be inadequate to attract people to this job. They noted some additional increases in the bonus pay were given by the Legislature in January 2017 when it overrode Gov. Baker’s veto of the hikes. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino No No EDUCATION AND LOCAL AID (H 3800) House 158-0, approved a consolidated amendment to fund education and local aid. Education Committee chair Rep. Alice Peisch (D-Wellesley) said the consolidated amendment contains increases over last year for many important items including $15.4 million for the Children’s Trust Fund; $2 million for Early College; $11.8 million for regional libraries; $3.1 million for Recovery High Schools; and $1 million for a new civic education grant program. “The amendment adds to a Ways and Means budget that demonstrated a strong commitment to all sectors of public, birth through [Grade] 12 education throughout the commonwealth,” said Peisch. “The budget overall includes signifi cant increases to Chapter 70, charter school reimbursement and early education, with an explicit commitment to low income students via the Chapter 70 reserve account … It also includes additional funds for libraries, the early college program and civics education programs.” Peisch said the entire budget reflects the leadership’s ongoing dedication to educational improvement for all students to close the achievement and opportunity gaps. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Yes SOCIAL SERVICES AND VETS (H 3800) House 160-0, approved a consolidated amendment on veterans and social services. Veterans Committee chair Linda Campbell (D-Methuen) said the consolidated amendment contains increases over last year for many important programs. She pointed out funding for some key items including $100,000 to help the Vietnam Veterans of America in Massachusetts with the processing of VA claims; $85,000 to the NEADS program that trains service dogs to assist veterans; $124,000 for funding for additional housing for women veterans; and $550,000 to the Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base program to provide clinical care, education and training to address veterans’ physical and behavioral health issues to include PTSD, traumatic brain injury, substance use disorder and suicide prevention. “In the consolidated amendment, the House provides additional funding for veterans programs in the commonwealth over and above last year’s budget and the governor’s budget,” said Campbell. “I am proud that my colleagues in the House have once again demonstrated their support for critical programs and organizations that are providing the care that our veterans and their families deserve. Veterans can face a number of hardships as a result of their service, from PTSD to homelessness to substance abuse, and this increased investment will ensure our veterans can receive needed services within their own communities.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Yes HOUSING AND MENTAL HEALTH (H 3800) House 160-0, approved a consolidated amendment on housing and mental health. Rep. Kevin Honan (D-Boston) the chair of the Committee on Housing said the consolidated amendment includes a $400,000 increase in funding for the Alternative Housing Voucher Program; a $250,000 increase in funding for Housing Consumer Education Centers; $300,000 for the Home Works Program; $50,000 for a computer technology center for Commonwealth Housing; funding for individual communities across the state including $65,000 for a shelter in Haverhill and $50,000 for mobility access enhancements and renovations in Brockton. “I am a strong supporter of the Housing Budget released by House Ways and Means for fi scal 2020,” said Honan. “It increases critical funding for programs such as the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program, Rental Assistance for Families in Transition and funding for public housing. The budget was strengthened even further through an additional $1.735 million in funding through consolidated earmarks for local housing programs—including my amendment for a $250,000 increase in funding for Housing Consumer Education Centers.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Rep. Paul Donato Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Yes CAP ON WELFARE BENEFITS FOR KIDS (S 2186) Senate 37-3, overrode Gov. Charlie Baker’s veto of a bill that repeals the current law that denies an additional $100 in welfare benefits to children conceived while—or soon after—the family began receiving welfare benefi ts or, if they had received family welfare benefi ts in the past. The law was adopted in 1995 as part of a welfare reform package that was aimed at discouraging families already receiving public support from having more children. The House overrode the veto on April 10 and with the Senate override, the bill now becomes law. Supporters of the repeal said that there are some 8,700 children who currently fall under the cap in the Bay State. These families are barred from receiving an additional $100 a month to help support that child. They said there are no facts to back up the charge that families are having more children in order to get the additional $100. “Eliminating the family cap should be accompanied by other reforms to the [welfare] program designed to align the eligibility determination with federal standards and support recipients as they return to work,” said Baker in his veto message. The governor added that under his proposal, “homeless families would no longer see a benefi t reduction for accessing temporary shelter.” “We are thrilled that our commonwealth has repealed the cruel and unjust family cap,” said Jacquelynne Bowman, Executive Director of Greater Boston Legal Services. “This is an important step in helping Massachusetts act on the promise of supporting very lowincome families to meet their children’s basic needs.” “Lifting the Cap on Kids will make a critical diff erence in the lives of 8,700 of the lowest income children in Massachusetts,” said Deborah Harris of the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute. “With today’s vote, Massachusetts has affi rmed the dignity and humanity of every child.” (A “Yes” vote is for repealing the cap. A “No” vote is against repealing it.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes GENDER X (S 2203) BEACON | SEE PAGE 19
THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 3, 2019 Page 19 BEACON | FROM PAGE 18 Senate 39-1, approved a bill that would allow for residents to choose a third gender option, “X” in lieu of “male” or “female” on an application for a driver’s license, learner’s permit, identification card or liquor purchase identifi - cation card. No documentation would be required for the person to choose the “X” option. The House has already approved a different version of the bill and the House and Senate will work on a compromise version. “Massachusetts has always led on equity and justice, especially in our proud bi-partisan support of LGBTQ people,” said Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro). “Today the Massachusetts Senate continued that tradition by passing legislation that provides the opportunity for Massachusetts residents who are transgender or gender non-conforming to self-identify on all Massachusetts identification documents. Legislation passed by the Senate allows for accuracy, privacy, and safety for individuals who do not fi t neatly into a specifi c gender identity. I am grateful to my col~ Obituaries ~ Barbara A. Laskey O f Lynn and formerly of Malden passed away at the age of 64, on Saturday, April 27th, after a courageous 2 year battle with cancer. Barbara was born in Stoneham on May 24th 1954 to the late Robert Bishop and Ann (Doherty) Bishop. She attended elementary and middle school in Malden, and graduated from Northeast Regional Vocational School in Wakefi eld in 1972. Barbara was a dedicated and compassionate certified nursing assistant for more than 40 years and was adored by her patients and families for the quality care she provided, as well as the love and attention she gave. She was employed by the McFadden Manor in Malden, and the Greenwood Nursing Home in Wakefi eld. She also provided in home care for many patients. Barbara is survived by her son, Daniel Laskey of Lynn, her daughter, Robin Laskey and companion Peter Donoghue of Saugus, and granddaughter, Caroline Donoghue of Saugus, her mother Ann (Doherty) Bishop of Malden and loving Aunt Helen Reed of Malden. She is also survived by her siblings, Cathy (Bishop) Manley and her husband William of Malden, Robert Bishop and companion Susan Ronald of Malden, Carol (Bishop) McCollem and her husband Thomas of Westford, Judy (Bishop) McCollem and her husband Michael of Tewksbury, and OBITUARIES | SEE PAGE 20 leagues for their support of gender non-conforming people. Our vote today recognizes the dignity of all, no matter their gender identity or expression.” “Identifying documents serve a variety of crucial purposes that help society function on a basic level,” said Christopher Jay, an attorney for the Massachusetts Family Institute which opposes the measure. “Introducing false and incomplete information into the system undermines their purpose and harms society. There is no logical boundary here. If someone can specify their gender regardless of biological fact, why not specify a diff erent race, age, height, weight or eye color according to how the person feels?” Sen. Donald Humason (R- Westfi eld) was the lone vote against the bill. He did not respond to repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on his vote (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes ROAD SAFETY (S 2570) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill designed to make roads safer and decrease the number of fatalities. The proposal requires bicyclists at night to use both a red rear light and a red rear refl ector. Current law requires only a red light or a red refl ector. Current law and the new law both require a white light in the front. The bill classifi es several groups, including pedestrians, utility workers and cyclists, as “vulnerable road users.” The measure requires the operator of a motor vehicle that is passing a vulnerable user to maintain a distance of at least three feet when traveling at 30 miles per hour or less and an additional foot of space for every ten miles per hour above 30 miles per hour. Current law only requires motor vehicle operators to pass at “a safe distance and at a reasonable and proper speed.” Another provision requires a vehicle that is overtaking a vulnerable user or other vehicle to use all or part of an adjacent lane, crossing the centerline if necessary, when it cannot pass at a safe distance in the same lane and only when it is safe to do so. The legislation also requires cer~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Division 208 Cambridge Street Cambridge, MA 02141 Docket No. MI19P2000EA Estate of: Ann Marie Gallison Date of Death: 02/21/2019 NOTICE OF INFORMAL PROBATE To all persons interested in the above captioned estate, by Petition of Petitioner Kelly A.

Jason Lewis Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on Mon. April 22 House 10:03 a.m. to 8:52 p.m. Senate 11:20 a.m. to 11:27 a.m. Tues.

They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of April 22-26, the House met for a total of 42 hours and two minutes while the Senate met for a total of two hours and 18 minutes. Malden
