The agenda item was sponsored by Councillor-at-Large Michael Marchese. Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Advocate Online: www.advocatenews.net Matewsky said he’s a big supporter of having Everett’s ambulance service in this community run by the Everett Fire Dept. Matewsky said he was looking at a memorandum from December 2021, which explains that an ambulance was ordered in May, and it’s currently at the Hancock Street Fire Station. Fire Chief Scott Dalrymple said the ambulance should be up and running within the next three to four months, if the proposal passes. Matewsky asked if the original plan was to eliminate the private ambulance service (Cataldo) that they have now. Dalrymple said if it’s available, Cataldo would still be actively operating, especially for Advanced Life Support calls. He added that the City of Everett handles the logistics for negotiations, and they’re in the process of finalizing it. Firefighters will be manning the day-to-operations. Matewsky was concerned about response time between Cataldo Ambulance and the Everett Fire Department. “I, for one, experienced that it’s a matter of minutes,” said Matewsky, referring to a time when he needed an ambulance transport. “Everyone here probably knows that the Fire Department is there before Cataldo Ambulance.” Matewsky said sometimes it’s a 10-minute difference, which is an unfortunate thing. He added that firefighters perform a lot of duties, including saving lives with the use of Narcan. There were approximately 112 overdoses last year, according to Dalrymple. Dalrymple said the fire engines would respond to calls, along with the ambulances, just like they do now. “You’d have my support, and as long as this ambulance is serving this community, I’d feel a lot better,” Matewsky said. Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins asked if their agreement had been settled since the councillors’ tour of the station. Dalrymple said he couldn’t discuss negotiations; however, they are waiting to sign the documents. The chief said they currently have 55 staff members, with nine currently in training. “More than 55 percent will be certified EMTs,” Dalrymple said. “A slight delay was the negotiations.” He told the council that drivers will begin to see the ambulance on the road for training; however, it won’t be operating until roughly three to four months. Hanlon estimated that within two months 65 percent will be EMTs, with the nine additional trainees. Dalrymple added that he’d like to see multiple ambulances in the city eventually. “We were one of the first Metro North communities to stand up a municipal ambulance,” Dalrymple said. “Everyone is watching us to see what we do.” Ward 6 Councillor Al Lattanzi said he thinks the city needs more than one city ambulance, adding that he’ll support it 100 percent. “I’d like to stop by and see it at the Hancock Station,” Lattanzi said. The chief welcomed him and others to stop by, as the station is open 24/7. The average cost was $250,000 to $280,000 per ambulance when they purchased it; however, the purchase price now is $350,000 with between an 18-24 months estimated wait. Marchese asked if the people who work as EMTs get paid a special rate. Dalrymple said people with a master’s certification will receive a two percent increase in pay. They figured the ambulance would handle about 1,800 calls a year or one -third of the city’s volume. Some more serious calls would get transferred to paramedics. Councillors postponed the item to the next meeting and asked for the financial cost of running the city ambulance.

The momentous TD Garden celebration included performances by musical groups from throughout Massachusetts, including the Everett High School Marching Band. “I want to congratulate my friends, Governor Maura Governor Maura Healey and Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll display their new sneakers.

Rape survivor Wendy Poste said both the fi re and police department knew, adding police were the fi rst to know. The Advocate regrets this error.

Chief of Staff Erin Deveney said the City of Everett has to T advertise in publications that are in circulation in the district. “We’re mandated to advertise if newspapers are in circulation throughout the city,” Deveney said. “There isn’t a circulation requirement.” Councillor-at-Large Michael $3.75 GALLON We accept: MasterCard * Visa * & Discover Price Subject to Change without notice 100 Gal.

Speaker Mariano gave a great speech and outlined his plan for the next two years while allowing former Speaker DeLeo to get his proper sendoff. We also got to hear from Governor Baker one last time and I was able to give him my thanks personally during his Lone Walk. It was a great lead up to Governor Healey and Lt. Governor Driscoll’s inauguration on Thursday, a changing of the guards but also a demonstration of tremendous partnership. It’s days like this that make you proud to serve in the State Legislature and reflect on the change you can make for all of the Commonwealth. I could not be more grateful.” This term begins Rep. McGonagle’s fifth term as State Representative. In this past term he was named Chair of the House Committee on Operations, Facilities and Security, while also serving on the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Education and Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security. New committee assignments have not yet been announced. A trusted family name combined with exceptional craftsmanship & professionalism. Call for a consultation & quote. Marchese, who put forth the agenda item, asked about publications that require an internet subscription, such as The Everett Advocate, to view online content. “That’s a common industry practice,” Deveney said. “That’s not a trend particular to publications in Everett.” While residents may appreciate the convenience of online access, free in print newspapers are available in many locations around the city, according to Deveney. Marchese has been pushing for the city to advertise in the Everett Leader Herald, a newspaper whose publisher has admitted under oath to publishing lies and fabrications about Mayor Carlo DeMaria from 2017 to 2021. Marchese, along with his brother, Joseph Marchese, are hostile critics of the mayor and allegedly paid the newspaper’s corrupt Publisher & Editor, Joshua Resnek, cash, according to Resnek’s emails obtained by The Advocate, to pay for the newspaper’s printing during the 2021 election. The mayor is currently suing the newspaper, Resnek, owner Matthew Philbin, Andrew Philbin, Sr., and City Clerk Sergio Cornelio. Marchese has since been trying to help keep the Leader Herald alive since testimony by Resnek and former newspaper employees has been published in The Advocate. Ward 6 Councillor Al Lattanzi asked if they should stay away from litigation between a newspaper and administration. Deveney said she’s not aware of any litigation involving the City of Everett in any of the publications. The City of Everett provided the City Council with advertising rates dating back three fi scal years. The Mayor’s Offi ce approves the invoices to pay for advertising while the City Council approves the general budget, including but not limited to advertising. Ward 3 Councillor Darren Costa asked if legal notices and other advertisements need to be circulated more than once. Deveney said there are certain instances where advertisements are circulated more than once, and advertisements must be posted before the event date. Costa asked if they can be posted on the website. Deveney replied that advertisements are posted on social media, the city website and on the community calendar. Costa said there may be a glitch with the community calendar automatic notifi cations, as it drops off within a month.

The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment. The GFOA has encouraged and recognized exemplary budgeting practices among governmental entities in the United States and Canada since 1984. GFOA Director of Technical Services Michele Mark Levine stated, “We hope that your example will encourage others in their efforts to achieve and maintain an appropriate standard of excellence in financial reporting.” The GFOA is a major professional association servicing the needs of more than 21,000 appointed and elected local, state and provincial-level government officials and other finance practitioners. It provides top quality publications, training programs, services and products designed to enhance the skills and performance of those responsible for government finance policy and management. Looking to the future, Mayor DeMaria and his administration look to continue to be recognized as a leading community in public financial management by practice and policy development. As an administration, it is the Mayor’s goal to enhance and promote quality government management for the benefit of the residents and businesses in the City of Everett. East Boston Neighborhood Health Center Opens Applications for Third Family Nurse Practitioner Residency Training Program E AST BOSTON, Mass., (January 9, 2023) — East Boston Neighborhood Health Center (EBNHC) is pleased to announce it is accepting applications for its third cohort of residents to join its Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Residency Program. This residency program aims to expand the pool of primary care providers who are well-prepared and committed to serving underserved populations. EBNHC was one of five health care organizations in the Commonwealth selected to participate in the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment Program (DSRIP) Statewide Investments Family Nurse Practitioner Residency Training Program in 2021. Since then, the program has shown to be invaluable in the training of new Family Nurse Practitioners. The residency is a highly structured year of intensive clinical training that provides mentorship in a high-performance model of care. Training includes primary care sessions with a preceptor in a community health center setting, specialty rotations, didactic sessions, and quality improvement training. By the end of the program, residents will have gained the competence, mastery and confidence needed to be a NP primary care provider that serves culturally diverse and clinically complex patients. “We are thrilled to continue our Family Nurse Practitioner Residency Program,” said Jackie Fantes, MD, FAAFP Executive Vice President, Chief Medical Officer at East Boston Neighborhood Health Center. “Our goal is to bridge the gap between academia and practice for new FNPs so that they feel competent and confident to hit the ground running as they enter the fast-paced world of health care. We want every patient to have a provider who empowers their decision making and respects their language, culture, race or ethnicity, and health care preferences.” The goal of the FNP training program is to ensure every new provider is prepared, supported, and satisfied with their career in primary care. “When I started at EBNHC 14 years ago as a new NP, the support, training and mentorship I received shaped me as a clinician and has driven me to want to do the same for the next generation of providers,” said Residency Program Director Katherine O’Brien, MSN, FNP-C. “This individualized residency, with an abundance of hands-on teaching, feedback and clinical mentoring, does just that.” Based at EBNHC sites in the South End, East Boston and Winthrop, the program will run from September 2023 to August 2024. The residency is a full-time, 12-month salaried position. Three slots are available. New Family Nurse Practitioners graduating in May 2023 or within the previous 18 months are encouraged to apply. Bilingual candidates preferred.

These earmarks bring the total grant funding for RMC community projects to $30.4 million since its founding in 2018. For each of the last two federal budgets, Congresswomen Katherine Clark and Ayanna Pressley and Congressman Seth Moulton were able to help fulfill multiple requests for Community Project Funding for projects with demonstrated local support that fit within specific existing federal grant programs. These grants included four for RMC communities in Fiscal Year 2022, and nine in Fiscal Year 2023. Congresswoman Clark secured funding for climate resilient projects in Arlington, Malden, Medford, Revere and Woburn. Congressman Moulton secured a $2 million grant for Reading. “We couldn’t be more grateful to Congresswomen KatherEverett man pleads guilty to armed robbery A n Everett man pleaded guilty on Thursday to committing the February 2021 armed robbery of a TD Bank branch in Allston. Jamaine Howell, 36, pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery and one count of using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to, and possessing a firearm in furtherance of, a crime of violence.

On Feb. 7, 2021, Howell enMalden River Works Project Artist Rendering ine Clark and Ayanna Pressley and Congressman Seth Moulton and their staff for securing such robust funding for our communities,” said Executive Director Patrick Herron of the Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA), which partners with RMC. “These investments will make our cities and towns safer, more equitable, and more beautiful.” “Since its beginnings the Resilient Mystic Collaborative has been focused on projects that make a difference for the people most affected by climate change,” said Director of Waterfront & Climate Justice Initiatives John Walkey of the local nonprofit GreenRoots. “It’s why GreenRoots is so excited to support and partner with the RMC and its members to help secure almost $14 million in federal grants to fund these projects.” Each of the municipalities that championed these climate resilient projects is an RMC founding member.

Howell threatened the teller and stated that he had a gun. Howell then threatened two bank customers and displayed a firearm. After taking the plastic bag – containing approximately $5,900 – from the teller, Howell instructed one of the customers to leave the bank with him. After walking about a block with Howell, the customer managed to flee while Howell was distracted. Later that week, police received a report that Howell brandished a firearm at a guest at a hotel in Sharon. On Feb. 16, 2021, police officers arrested Howell and found him armed with a loaded .45 caliber Ruger handgun. Police also found a loaded semi-automatic shotgun in a vehicle that had previously been rented to Howell. Howell was charged by criminal complaint in March 2021. The charge of bank robbery provides for a sentence of up to 25 years in prison, up to five years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. The charge of using a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence provides for an additional sentence of five years to be served consecutively to any other sentence imposed. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case. United States Attorney Rachael S. Rollins and the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Boston Division, Joseph R. Bonavolonta, made the announcement. The Boston, Sharon and Lynn Police Departments provided valuable assistance with the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Dell’Anno of Rollins’ Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case. ~ Calendar of Events at the Everett Public Libraries ~ January 16-21, 2023 Parlin Adults and Teens Bingo!

On Saturday when Mémoire General Manager Shap Bahary went to greet Mary and the Offi cers, they mentioned it was her birthday. Mémoire usually does big parades for their guest’s birthdays and celebrations, so Shap fi gured it was only right that Mary got the same treatment. Shap quickly went to gather the team and brought out all the bells and whistles for Mary’s birthday. The best part, according to Shap, was that a small crowd of guests began to form, and they all started chanting Mary’s name. This was a spur-of-the-moment celebration, but Mary obviously enjoyed having the spotlight to celebrate her big day.

These projects are the result of years of analysis and design by both individual communities and multiple municipalities working collectively. The list of FY2023 Community Project grants secured by RMC communities is summarized below: Community Arlington Malden Medford Revere Woburn Cambridge Everett MyRWA Reading A flooding boatyard in Revere will soon be a community center.

It will reduce Malden’s climate vulnerability by building green stormwater infrastructure to reduce surface flood risk, increasing the tree canopy by planting over 100 new trees to mitigate urban heat island effects, restoring the natural riverfront landscape and building an elevated greenway path to serve as a flood barrier in the event of sea level rise. “The Malden River Works Steering Committee is inclusive of the diverse Malden population and under-represented communities of color,” said Steering Committee Chairperson Marcia Manong. “Our project will help reduce the City’s climate vulnerability by building green stormwater infrastructure to reduce surface flood risk, increasing the tree canopy by planting over 200 new trees and bushes to mitigate urban heat island effects, restoring the natural riverfront landscape, and building an elevated greenway path to serve as a flood barrier in the event of sea-level rise. We wish to thank all for the effort put forward to ensure that this community-driven project was included in the Community Project earmarks.” “Addressing the legacy of environmental racism is an important part of our response to climate change,” said Malden Mayor Gary Christenson, “and that is what we are doing with the Malden River Works project. It represents a new planning approach for Malden that focuses on elevating the voices of marginalized community members to build a climate-resilient park on the Malden River. The funding secured by our federal delegation will play an important role in the eventual success of Malden River Works.” Heat Heat/flooding Flooding Flooding/heat Flooding/heat Heat Flooding/heat Climate Risk Funding $1,000,000 $1,334,610 Energy resilience/heat $1,500,000 $1,977,220 $2,916,370 $1,000,000 Carbon neutrality $750,000 $400,000 $2,000,000 Revere: Riverside Climate Resiliency Project ($1,977,220) The funding will alleviate current conditions and prepare the community for the impact of worsening risks of climate change and sea-level rise. It expands mitigation and adaptation efforts in the RiverFront area in Revere. “As a community located outside the shelter of Boston Harbor we get the brunt of increasingly intense winter storms,” said Revere Mayor Brian Arrigo. “This funding will help us manage coastal flooding in our Riverfront neighborhood.” “The frequent flooding of the Riverside neighborhood due to sea level rise has reached a critical juncture,” said Revere activist Loretta LaCentra. “Our worst-case scenario has become a common event as we dread reports of upcoming flooding and King Tides. We need immediate attention and remediation to address the multiple flooding events we experience annually. We cannot wait any longer.” Everett: Gateway Park Urban Forest/Wetland Restoration ($750,000) This funding will help supCoastal flooding in Rumney Marsh. (Photo courtesy of Loretta LaCentra) port the restoration of a degraded 14-acre waterfront parcel of land and create a rare public open space for low-income Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) residents in the environmental justice community of Everett. This project will remove invasive plants and other debris, reconstruct a forested coastal wetland area as a habitat and for stormwater management, reforest with native trees and other perennials, install environmental education signage in a broad range of languages and construct a pedestrian boardwalk throughout the site. “For as long as I can remember, the wetlands portion of Gateway Park has been neglected and overgrown,” said Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “This grant will help us restore wildlife habitat and bring residents in an environmental justice community closer to nature along the Malden River and Boston Harbor waterfront.” “Everett is in desperate need of healthy open space… We can’t wait to see Gateway Park finished,” said Josee Genty from Everett Community Growers. MyRWA: Cooling Urban Heat Islands through Enhancing Urban Forests in Greater Boston’s Mystic River Watershed ($400,000) This funding will help mitigate the dangers of climate-driven extreme heat in vulnerable environmental justice communities, including Everett, Chelsea and East Boston. The program will support the implementation of local urban forestry plans (including the planting of 750 trees), while training youths, reentry citizens and others to perform the horticulture activities needed to establish and maintain urban trees. “This funding allows us to partner with communities to cool off some of the hottest neighborhoods in our watershed that currently have very few parks, trees, or other cooling amenities,” said MyRWA Deputy Director for Projects David Queeley. “These same neighborhoods are where many low-income BIPOC residents live due to past redlining practices and crushingly high housing prices elsewhere. Helping vulnerable residents stay safe lowers hospitalization rates and medical costs. If we can help cool off the hottest streets, or even whole neighborhoods, why wouldn’t we?” Mystic River Watershed at a Glance The 76-square-mile Mystic River Watershed stretches from Reading through the northern shoreline of Boston Harbor to Revere. It is one of New England’s most urbanized watersheds. The seven-mile Mystic River and its tributaries represented an early economic engine for colonial Boston; 10 shipyards, tide-driven mills, brickyards and tanneries along both banks of the river brought both wealth and pollution. In the 1960s, the Amelia Earhart Dam transformed much of the river into a freshwater impoundment, while construction of Interstate 93 filled in wetlands and dramatically changed the river’s course. Since then, many former industrial sites have been cleaned up and redeveloped into new commercial areas and residential communities. The Mystic is facing growing climate-related challenges: coastal and stormwater flooding, extreme storms, heat, drought and unpredictable seasonal weather. The watershed is relatively low-lying and extensively developed, making it prone to both freshwater and coastal flooding. Its 21 municipalities are home to 600,000 residents, including many who are disproportionately vulnerable to extreme weather: environmental justice communities, new Americans, residents of color, elders, low-income residents and employees, people living with disabilities and English-language learners.

(Advocate file photos/Emily Harney) By Joe McConnell O ver the last two weeks, the Everett High School girls’ basketball team (3-3 in the Greater Boston League, 3-4 overall) went 1-2, but coach Riley Dunn’s team hopes to turn things around quickly with games a t Somerville (0-4) and Revere (Jan. 17, 6 p.m.). The Tide started the season with a convincing home opening night win against visiting Revere last month, 46-28. They then defeated Medford, before falling into a .500 club. The Everett girls lost to host Lawrence, 46-40 to close out the 2022 portion of the regular season schedule on Dec. 28. Senior guard Kayley Rossi paced the offensive attack for the locals with 17 points. They then began 2023 with a convincing triumph over neighboring Chelsea, 52-16. “This was a great team win,” said Dunn. Rossi was once again the top gun on offense with 18 points and five assists. Malica Guilaume chipped in with four assists and six rebounds. Last Thursday, Jan. 5, the loLady Tide’s Malaica Guillaume battles for possession over a Revere defender in December action. cal five dropped a close contest to Lynn Classical, 43-38. Malaica Guilaume was credited with a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds. Emilia Maria-Babcock accounted for 10 points and five rebounds. But the Lynn English Bulldogs stopped the Tide offensively Tuesday night to beat them going away, 39-23. But with games coming up on the road next week against aforementioned Revere and then Medford on Thursday night (6 p.m.), Jan. 19, the Everett girls could be in the middle of a winning streak to get this schedule going in the right direction, as the second half begins and the postseason rankings become clearer to determine state tournament berths. Tide boys’ co-op hockey returns to form to even record at three Everett senior captain David Saia notches his 100th By Joe McConnell I t was a much better and most memorable week for the Everett High School boys’ co-op hockey team. After dropping a heartbreaking 5-4 overtime decision to host East Bridgewater, 5-4, the Crimson Tide (2-2 in the Greater Boston League, 3-3 overall) bounced back Monday to double up non-league host Timberlane, 8-4. In that game, Everett senior captain David Saia was credited with a hat trick that resulted in his 100th career point, a significant milestone of perseverance and determination. “(Saia) always gives us 100% effort in every game, while turning himself into a great leader and captain,” said coach Craig Richards. Saia’s hat trick helped pace the offensive attack in the Timberlane game. Everett led throughout, taking a 3-1 lead after one and 6-4 heading into the third period. Revere’s Mykell Schovanec accounted for the first goal on a solo effort. Frankie Annunziata then lit the lamp from Riley Constantine. Saia followed with his first goal of the game assisted by Chris Cecca and Jacky Summers to close out the opening stanza. Jake Simpson got the first lamplighter of the second period setup by Austin Annunziata. Saia then recorded his second tally of the game from Andrew Crasco. Saia wasted no time to secure his historic goal from Michael Brandano and Constantine that once again completed the scoring in a period. Brandano produced the team’s seventh goal to begin the final period, with Summers Ben Rosa took over the goaltending chores in the third. The team ended up outshooting Timberlane, 30-15. Both goalies also had conDavid Saia Nets 100th point picking up his second assist of the game. Summers then finished off the offensive explosion with a goal from Constantine. Aaron Al-Marayati was between the pipes throughout the first two periods, before siderable help from their defense. Richards specifically singled out the defensive contributions of Cam Couto and Mystic Valley’s Riya Tanivaki, while highlighting Constantine’s efforts on offense after assisting on three of his team’s goals. Mystic Valley’s Liam Thompson also caught the attention of the coaching staff for his fine play up front. Rosa played the entire game in net against East Bridgewater. His teammates led, 4-2 after two periods, but the home team was able to tie up the game in the third, before winning it at the three-minute mark of the extra period. But Everett had more shots on career point against non-league host Timberlane goal, 20-15. “It was a battle,” said Richards after the game. “The entire team did a good job, and they moved the puck very well, but we just didn’t get the results we wanted.” Austin Annunziata was credited with the first goal from Lucas Deguire. Brandano poked one home assisted by Crasco. Simpson lit the lamp from Ollie Svenson and Cecca. Brandano then got his second goal of the game to complete the scoring for the locals from Simpson and Saia. The Everett co-op boys will be taking on host Lynn for the third time this season on Saturday at the Connery Rink, beginning at 7 p.m. They will then look to avenge an earlier loss to the Highlanders in Somerville on Wednesday, Jan. 18, at 5:30 p.m.

My 71-year-old uncle, who’s divorced with no children, has terminal cancer. He’s asked me to take care of his aff airs so I would like to fi nd out what I need to do after he passes away. Unsure Nephew Dear Unsure, I’m very sorry to hear about your uncle. The death of a loved of can bring about a host of different tasks and responsibilities. Here’s a list of some things you can do now, and after his death, that can help keep a sad event from becoming even more diffi cult.

According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, the values of these precious metals contained inside catalytic converters have skyrocketed and is staggering. As of March 2022, rhodium is valued at $20,000 per ounce; palladium at $2,938 per ounce; and platinum at $1,128 per ounce. For thieves, this means a catalytic converter might be a better score than the average wedding band or gold watch. “Catalytic theft is an epidemic,” said House sponsor Rep. Steve Howitt (R-Seekonk). “It is not only very costly to the vehicle owner, if they do not have comprehensive insurance, it creates an inconvenience to have repairs done. I’m very pleased that the House and Senate worked together for this timely and important bill that benefits all the citizens of the commonwealth.” “Many scrapyards and black-market buyers have an open call out for catalytic converters, which they turn around and sell to metal recyclers,” says the Cavallo and Signoriello Insurance Agency in Massachusetts. “Ten years ago, a thief could earn between $20 and $200 per stolen converter. Today, thanks to the spike in the value of these metals, that range is more like $300 to $850, for just a few minutes of work.” PREGNANT AND POSTPARTUM (S 2731) – Gov. Baker signed into law a bill that would ensure that pregnant and postpartum mothers get necessary and potentially life-saving health care by extending MassHealth insurance coverage to 12 months after pregnancy. MassHealth is the state’s Medicaid program that provides health care for low-income and disabled persons. Supporters said that according to a recent report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of women identified as having died of maternal causes in the United States climbed from 658 in 2018 to 861 in 2020, with - LEGAL NOTICE - CITY OF EVERETT the maternal death rate for Black women reaching an alarming 55.3 deaths per 100,000 live births. “I am proud that Massachusetts has taken another step to combat inequities in maternal health,” said Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem), the lead Senate sponsor of the measure. “By extending postpartum healthcare coverage to a full year, parents will be able to access vital physical and behavioral health resources that will decrease mortality and severe morbidity and improve the overall health of parent and child.” PROHIBIT REVOCATION OF PROFESSIONAL LICENSES (H 5195) – The House and Senate on November 21, approved and sent to then-Gov. Baker legislation that would repeal a current state law which creates professional licensure consequences for anyone who defaults on their student loan. Under current law, a borrowBEACON | SEE PAGE 19

Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose). “And as families work to recover from the financial fallout of the pandemic, the last thing the state should do is deny them access to their professional pursuits because of student loan defaults.” Baker proposed an amendment to the bill on December 1. Baker’s amendment would allow the Division of Banks to consider student loan defaults in order to ensure that the Division will retain the discretion it has always applied when assessing an applicant’s fitness to provide consumer financial services to prospective borrowers. “Precluding the Division of Banks from reviewing credit reports as part of its evaluation of an individual’s financial responsibility for a financial services license could ultimately result in harm to consumers,” said Baker. The House and Senate had more than a month to act on the governor’s amendment but did ot do so.. As a result, the bill died on January 3, the final day of the 2021-2022 session. “This is a common-sense bill that not only helps a student practice their profession but it is also likely to help a student earn enough money to pay off any outstanding student debt,” said co-sponsor Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton). “I was hoping the bill would make it to the governor’s desk, and wish he had not filed an amendment to the already-passed bill.” EXPAND CIVIL SERVICE OPTION FOR CITIES AND TOWNS (S 1661) – The House and Senate both approved a bill that would allow legislative governing bodies of cities and towns - Legal Notice - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Essex Probate and Family Court 36 Federal Street Salem, MA 01970 Docket No. ES22D1581DR DIVORCE SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION AND MAILING CATHERINE NANKANJA vs. JOHN BREWINGTON To the Defendant: The Plaintiff has filed a Complaint for Divorce requesting that the Court grant a divorce for Irretrievable Breakdown The Complaint is on file at the Court.

January 6, 13, 2023 the option to expand the definition of local residency for civil service hiring preference to include anyone who received a high school diploma from a school in that city or town. Neither branch gave the measure final approval. “This legislation could aid municipalities in their efforts to draw from a diverse pool of applicants for police and fire department jobs, and provide additional career opportunities for students who become part of a local community by attending and graduating from its high school,” said sponsor Sen. Will Brownsberger (D-Belmont) who plans to refile the bill in the 20232024 session. Supporters gave an example that a student enrolled in the METCO program who graduated from high school in another city or town could be considered a local resident for civil service purposes if the city council or town meeting voted to expand the residency definition under the proposed legislation. QUOTABLE QUOTES – Excerpts from Gov. Maura Healey’s inaugural speech “I thank Gov. Baker, who has led this commonwealth with a steady hand. He has governed with integrity and care—eager to study problems and work together on solutions. The example he set for eight years was in the best traditions of public service, and it now becomes his legacy. Gov. Baker, I thank you, and our state thanks you.” “My grandparents met on the fishing docks in a Gloucester summer. She was in nursing school; he worked at the GE factory. Later, when I was to be born at a naval hospital in Maryland, they worried that I wasn’t starting my life on Massachusetts soil. So she dug up a little dirt from the woodlot, caught a plane, sneaked into the hospitalroom, and put the little bag under the delivery table.” “Our state Constitution recognized our natural and essential rights and declared BEACON | SEE PAGE 20

The people of Massachusetts have always believed in protecting these rights, and dedicating them to a higher purpose. We were the first to guarantee that health care is universal, and twenty years ago now, that love is, too. It is in that spirit of common humanity that I stand before you today, representing another historic first.” “The strength of Massachusetts is its families. And they sorely need our help. Our state has some of the highest childcare costs in the country. Our care workers don’t make a livable wage. So today, let us pledge to be the first state to solve the childcare crisis. Let’s finally pass legislation in line with Common Start to make sure every family pays what they can afford, and that care workers are paid what they deserve.” “But I’m even more excited about tomorrow. Because tomorrow we get to work. We get to work in the greatest state, for the greatest people, at a moment when we can make the greatest difference—now and for a generation to come. So with great optimism and pride, I thank you all, and now let’s come together and get this done. God bless you, and God bless this commonwealth.” 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 the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brieflength 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 January 2-6, the House met for a total of 18 hours and 24 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 18 hours and eight minutes. MON.
