Page 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 19, 2024 Gov’s state budget shortfall cuts will affect fi re dept., local programs Mayor: Local aid and school funding will not be impacted By Neil Zolot E verett is one of the state’s cities and towns that will be aff ected by projected cuts in state aid. “We’re still waiting to see,” Fire Department Chief Sabato LoRusso said about specifics of the $375 million reduction proposed by Governor Maura Healey to cover a $1 billion shortfall that will include roughly $1.68 million for local fi re departments. He’s expecting to get information from the state Department of Fire Services about aid and grants for things like hazmat equipment, although the Mayor’s Office has information that funding for the Fire Department will drop from $75,000 to $37,500. Funds for a computer-aided dispatch program for the EFD will drop from $100,000 to $50,000. The cuts, which can be made unilaterally by the Governor without approval by legislators, are a result of unexpected revenue shortfalls. Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 29, Section 9C, the Governor “has the authority to make spending reductions when there is a budget shortfall and there is no supplemental money to fund that shortfall,” according to the Mass.gov website. Statewide, cuts are also slated for behavioral health supports ($5.2 million), housing services and counseling ($5 million), earmarks for parks ($772,500) and economic development projects ($11.3 million). Other things include grants for high school dual enrollments ($2.5 million), grants to local public health boards ($2.49 million) and grants to councils on aging ($950,000). State Secretary of the Executive Offi ce for Administration and Finance Matthew Gorzkowicz said the $8 billion “rainy day fund” will not be used and saved for more serious budget crises. “We see this as sort of a 12-18-month condition where we have to do some belt-tightening, but overall, we don’t see this as a recessionary environment and believe the economy will continue to grow in 2025,” he said. He also said no one lost their job due to the shortfall; the cuts are under 1% of the state budget; and eff orts to fi nd shelter for homeless families and migrants were not a factor, an accusation made by state Republicans against Democrat Healey. School funding and local aid shouldn’t be aff ected, but large cuts will be made to MassHealth, the state’s Medicaid program. Other cuts impacting Everett include funds for the Association of Women in Ministry International leadership program dropping from $50,000 to $25,000; funds for La Comunidad, an organization supporting the Latin-American community, dropping from $25,000 to $12,500 and funds for the Eliot Family Resource Center also dropping from $25,000 to $12,500. “While I understand the necessity of the 9C exercise due to revenue collections falling below benchmarks, it’s never good news to be faced with budget cuts,” Mayor Carlo DeMaria said. “I am grateful local aid and school funding have not been impacted, but it is still troubling to see the trend of cuts being made to social and human service agencies and it’s to important public safety areas like fi re services, given the important role they play in Everett. I will work with Senator Salvatore DiDomenico and State Representatives Judith Garcia, Joseph McGonagle and Dan Ryan to advocate for funds being restored in the upcoming fi scal budget based on the Healy administration’s assessment the decline in revenue is temporary and not indicative of a recession.” “9C cuts are disruptive to our community’s priorities, but I was happy to see, based on current information, school funding and other local aid do not appear to be impacted,” City Council President Robert Van Campen (Ward 5) added. “I look forward to working with the Mayor and our entire state delegation to ensure alternative funding sources are identifi ed to allow any initiatives to move forward.” La Comunidad founder and executive director Antonio Amaya said they will have to fi nd a way to raise money to continue to provide free services like citizenship or English classes, either through donations from a private source or holding fundraising events. “The classes are resources people use to improve their lives,” he reported. He also said he would work with local offi cials to try to ensure funding appropriated in Fiscal 2024 is restored to the Fiscal 2025 budget. “Governor Healey recently made some cuts to the Fiscal 2024 budget in [an] attempt to balance the budget,” Garcia’s aide Taylor Sprague said. “Only about 5% of the cuts are for community earmarks. Right now, we’re being told there will be less funding in the Fiscal 2025 budget as well, but we don’t have a lot of information on this.” Celebrate Black History Month Mid-grade Regular $3.98 87 87 Full Service $3.59 Order online at angelosoil.com through movies at the Connolly Center All are welcome to attend these movie showings throughout the month of February Special to Th e Advocate M ayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce that the City of Everett’s Council on Aging (COA) is celebrating Black History Month through various movie showings at the Connolly Center (90 Chelsea St.).

House unanimously passes bill to prevent abuse and exploitation, enhance protections for survivors Addresses teen sexting and image-based sexual assault, coercive control; extends statute of limitations for some domestic violence offenses Special to Th e Advocate O n January 10, 2024, Rep. Joe McGonagle, along with his colleagues in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, passed (151-0) legislation that combines several separate legislative initiatives into one bill that will help to prevent abuse and exploitation and will enhance protections for survivors. The legislation, which is titled “An Act to prevent abuse and exploitation” (H.4241), addresses teen sexting and image-based sexual assault – commonly referred to as “revenge porn” – expands the defi nition of abuse to include coercive control for the purposes of obtaining a restraining order, and extends the statute of limitations for certain domestic violence off enses from six years to 15 years.

Spash was also an assistant superintendent and a principal at two Lawrence schools, beginning her career as a math teacher. According to Tahiliani’s resume, Tahiliani holds a master’s of liberal arts degree in creative writing and literature from Harvard University and is currently working toward earning a doctorate of education in urban education leadership from the University of Phoenix. Back in 2023, Tahiliani was placed on paid administrative by the School Committee at an irregularly scheduled meeting on October 30, pending an investigation into allegations of misconduct submitted by 10 teachers to the city’s Human Resources Department. In a story published last year in this newspaper, during her turbulent tenure in Everett, Tahiliani fi led two discrimination lawsuits against the city of Everett and Mayor Carlo DeMaria, the fi rst claiming that the mayor had installed security cameras in her offi ce to spy on her which were found to have been disconnected over a decade prior to her arrival; and the second, after the school committee decided not to extend her contract. Both lawsuits received attention with the Boston media but were never pursued as she only publicized them— but never served the complaints, thereby protecting herself from ever having to be called to account for having fi led them. Tahiliani, along with Asst. Supt. Kim Tsai, offered students extra credit to hold calling 781-321-2501.

Resnek, who is awaiting trial along with the newspaper’s owner, Matthew Philbin, in a defamation lawsuit fi led by Mayor DeMaria, admitted to making up stories about the mayor and fabricating quotes in order to discredit and ruin the mayor’s chances of reelection in 2021 against challenger Frederick Capone.

CBS Sports will provide live coverage, making it a major highlight of the year. According to a survey conducted by Zinklar, an innovative market research platform, 83% of Americans are eagerly preparing to tune in. Zinklar´s study delves into Americans’ Super Bowl plans, covering their favorite teams, snacks, anticipated commercials, halftime show excitement, and the specifics of where and how Americans plan to watch the game this year. Whether you’re a football fanatic, a commercials connoisseur, or just in it for the HalfPROTECTIONS | FROM PAGE 3 ary 11, the Senate referred the bill to its committee on Ways and Means. “This legislation modernizes time Show, here’s your comprehensive guide to Super Bowl LVIII 2024 trends. Anticipation for the Next Kickoff Super Bowl 58 is on the horizon after a surprising weekend in the NFL. With only eight teams left and seven games remaining, the anticipation is high. People are buzzing about it, and the 49ers (26%) and the Baltimore Ravens (24%) are America’s top picks, according to the study. So, it’s all building up to an exciting showdown!

His upcoming ninth album, “Coming Home,” adds anticipation, set to release shortly before the event. Notably, Zinklar’s survey reveals that 19% of Americans find the halftime show the most appealing aspect of the Super Bowl. The Battle of the Brands Super Bowl LVIII’s ad lineup is set to dazzle with Pepsi’s Starry, Nerds’ $7 million spectacle, and Eric André’s Drumstick debut.

Despite budget constraints, marketers eagerly participate, with CBS nearly selling out ad slots at $6.5 to $7 million for a 30-secof themselves rather than imposing some of the criminal justice system’s most severe consequences,” said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “I’m also incredibly proud of this legislation’s bolstered protections for survivors, including the added consideration of nonphysical forms of abuse for those seeking restraining orders from their abusers. I want to thank Chairman Day and the Judiciary Committee, along with each bill sponsor and all my colleagues in the House for prioritizing this vital legislation.” “While useful resources, technology and social media today also have the potential to be dangerous,” said McGonagle. “This bill provides for the education of safe use and preventing exploitation, which is crucial to our youth. It also helps protect survivors who are too often left defenseless. To me, this bill is a ond spot, maintaining the cost from the 2023 game. Zinklar’s survey unveils diverse American expectations for Super Bowl ads. With Budweiser leading at 15.5%, followed by Doritos 9.3% and Pepsi 7.5%. Despite the brand’s tight budgets, excitement for the big game remains high. Super Bowl Snackdown The survey reveals that 83% of Americans plan to watch the Super Bowl, with 75% choosing to enjoy the game from the comfort of their homes. Super Bowl parties are a highlight, offering a chance to gather with loved ones for an exciting game, snacks, drinks, and friendly competition. Interestingly, even dedno-brainer. Thank you to Speaker Mariano, Chair Day and all in leadership who fought for this bill. The Commonwealth will be better for it.” “The House has heard the urgent call of survivors to enhance protections and ensure that our laws keep up with technology. But the House doesn’t just listen, we act,” said Representative Michael S. Day (D-Stoneham), who is House Chair of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on the Judiciary. “It’s critical that these reforms pass into law quickly so that victims of coercive control, adolescent sexting and revenge porn aren’t left without relief.” Currently, minors who possess, purchase or share explicit photos of themselves or other minors are charged with violating Massachusetts child pornography laws and are required to register as sex offenders. The legislation passed instead authorizes commitment to the Department of Youth Services (DYS), but also allows minors to be diverted to an educational program in lieu of criminal punishment. However, a district attorney is allowed to petition the court to bring criminal charges in extreme cases. The bill mandates the creation of an educational diversion program by the Attorney General in consultation with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), DYS and the Massachusetts District Attorneys Association. The diversion program would provide teenagers with information about the legal and nonlegal consequences of sexting, which would be made available to school districts. DESE would also encourage districts to implement media literacy programs in their schools as a preicated NFL fans prioritize attending a party with family and friends (42%) over going to a sports bar (9%) or the game itself (5%). Zinklar’s data also highlights the favorite Super Bowl snacks and drinks, with chicken wings (37%) and beer (43%), including Corona Extra (26%), Coors Light (20%), Modelo Especial (14%), and Michelob Ultra (14%), being popular choices, providing a detailed view of diverse preferences during the event. As the countdown to Super Bowl LVIII begins, Zinklar remains a source for unrivaled insights into the pulse of American enthusiasm. Cheers to the touchdowns, the tunes, and the unforgettable moments that make the Super Bowl a cultural phenomenon. Let the games begin! vention measure. In addition to teen sexting, the bill addresses the nonconsensual distribution of explicit images by adults by establishing a penalty in the existing criminal harassment statute, including up to two and a half years of prison time and/or a monetary fine of up to $10,000. The bill increases the upper limit of the fine for criminal harassment from $1,000 to $5,000. Under this bill, a victim may also petition the court for a harassment prevention order against a person who has violated this statute. The bill passed by the House also adds coercive control to the definition of abuse. Coercive control is a nonphysical form of abuse which includes a pattern of behavior, or a single act intended to threaten, intimidate, harass, isolate, control, coerce or compel compliance of a family or household member that causes the family or household member to fear physical harm or to have a reduced sense of physical safety or autonomy. Examples of coercive control include threating to share explicit images, regulating or monitoring a family or household member’s communications and access to services and isolating a family or household member from friends or relatives. The legislation passed by the House also extends the statute of limitations for assault and battery on a family or household member or against someone with an active protective order from six years to 15 years. This change brings the Massachusetts statute of limitations for these domestic violence offenses in line with the statute of limitations for rape, assault with intent to commit rape and sex trafficking.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 19, 2024 Page 7 Everett Public Libraries launch “24 in ’24” reading challenge T he Everett Public Libraries are excited to announce the commencement of the “24 in ’24” reading challenge – inviting community members to participate in a yearlong reading journey that will culminate in a prize funded by the Friends of the Everett Public Libraries. “Before COVID, we had challenges like this where we asked patrons to read the number of books for whatever year it was, like 15 in ’15, 16 in ’16, and so on,” says Adult Services Librarian Kathleen Slipp. “It was a great way to connect with the community and encourage reading for patrons of all ages. We decided that since it’s been a few years, and since our patrons enjoy the Summer Reading challenge so much, it’s high time that we brought the yearlong challenge back!” Patrons of all ages are encouraged to participate in the program, where they are asked to read 24 books over the course of the year. While the challenge officially began on January 1, participants may join whenever they like. The only requirement is that each person reads and logs 24 books by the December 31 deadline. As with other reading challenges in reThe Financially Motivated Sextortion Threat FBi warns about dangers of online schemes targeting young adults and minors T he FBI this week issued a new warning about an evolving online threat targeting minors and young adults: fi - nancially motivated sextortion. In these schemes, predators typically pretend to be alluring young girls to befriend teen boys—often on social media and gaming platforms. The predators then trick these teens into exchanging sexually explicit material or believing the predators have already obtained it. Once the scammers have a victim’s pictures or video, they demand money to keep the explicit material from being shared with the victim’s family and friends. Even when victims comply, scammers often demand more money and escalate the threats. The FBI saw a 20% increase in reports of fi nancially motivated sextortion incidents targeting minors during a six-month period that ended in March 2023, compared to the previous year. The scam is the latest iteration of sextortion, which has historically been driven by sexual gratifi cation and control, but is now mostly motivated by greed. Minors and young adults caught in this trap often feel isolated, embarrassed, and cornered with seemingly no way out. In some cases, victims have turned to self-harm and suicide. The FBI is urging parents, educators, caregivers, teens, and young adults to fully understand the dangers of fi nancially motivated sextortion and to know there are options for those who need help. “The consequences of sextortion are being felt across the country,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “We and our partners will relentlessly pursue criminals who perpetuate this deplorable activity.” Anyone being exploited in a sextortion scheme should do the following: • Understand you are not at fault and you are not alone • Ask for help from a trusted adult or law enforcement before sending money or more imagFBI WARNS | SEE PAGE 7 memberspluscu.org 781-905-1500 MEDFORD NORWOOD DORCHESTER EVERETT PLYMOUTH 1Mobile carrier fees may apply.

Patrons can also opt to track their reading by hand with a paper log that is available for pickup at either library. “The new year is a great time to set goals for ourselves, and for many people that can include a reading goal. The great thing about this challenge is that any book counts, so long as you finish it. I will personally be logging e-books, audiobooks, and graphic novels as part of my 24 books, and I encourage others to do so as well,” says Information Services Librarian Sofi a Safran. Library Director Kevin Sheehan adds, “It’s a bit of an ambitious goal for some of us, but some good strategies are picking good books you’ll want to read, picking a series like Harry Potter, Jack Reacher, or The Chronicles of Narnia, and/or reading in the morning or afternoon rather than the evening if you’re exhausted after a long day. We’ve compiled some staff favorites to help with selection as well, which you can ask for at either library or view on our online catalog at bit.ly/ EVEopac.” For further information regarding the reading challenge, or with any questions about Beanstack, please contact the Parlin Memorial Library at 617-394-2300 or the Shute Memorial Library at 617-394-2308.

Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 19, 2024 TurfMutt’s Tips for Enjoying Your Yard, A Winter Wonderland A LEXANDRIA, Va. – Spending time outside in your own backyard and community green space – backyarding, as the TurfMutt Foundation calls it – is good for you no matter what time of year. When winter hits and the temperatures drop and the days get shorter, it just takes a little more creativity to turn your yard into an outdoor oasis. “Our living landscapes transform when our yards and parks are covered with white snow,” says Kris Kiser, President & CEO of the TurfMutt Foundation, which advocates for the care and use of our backyards, community parks and public green spaces. “Mutt Mulligan the TurfMutt and I really enjoy spending time outside even when it’s cold and snowy. We just have to prepare properly for it and plan ahead.” Here are the TurfMutt Foundation’s suggestions for turning your backyard into a winter wonderland: • Take cues from your dog. Most dogs love to play in the snow because it offers new smells to sniff out and a new layer to dig through. Lace up your winter boots and enjoy your yard with your family, including your dog. Snowballs make for an excellent game of fetch. If you get enough snow, you can even create an obstacle course for your furry friend. Using a snow thrower will make quick work of the task and can provide a clear path for your pup to do his “business,” too. • Light it up. Create a welcoming ambience that draws your family outside by stringing lights in your trees and shrubs and on your patio. You can also add lanterns and solar and battery-operated candles around your yard to bathe your outdoor space in sparkly, inviting light. • Add warmth. Being comfortable in the wintertime is all about temperature. Firepits are an excellent choice to add warmth, and they create an opportunity to gather around to make s’mores or tell stories. Patio heaters and outdoor fireplaces are another option to warm up your outdoor living room. For an added layer of comfort, set out a basket of blankets, along with packets of hand and toe warmers. • Create snow activities. Lure your family outside by creating winter-themed activities that are fun for all ages. Snowball fights, snowman building sessions, a game of freeze tag, and even tic-tacSNOW are just a few ways to make a game of being outside this winter. • Attract wildlife. Throughout the year, your yard is an important part of the connected ecosystem, linking nature to the man-made world of our neighborhoods. Support wildlife in the wintertime by adding bird and squirrel feeders to your trees and patio. Then observe the kinds of wildlife that visit your yard and how they are different from other seasonal wildlife. • Involve your community. Who says neighborhood block parties can only happen in the summertime? Create community this winter by inviting your neighbors to participate in a Winter Wonderland Block Party. You can host a snowman building contest or snowball competition and serve hot chocolate to warm up. • Explore community green space. Take your winter backyarding into the community by exploring your neighborhood parks and other community green spaces. Take a nature walk to identify the wildlife you can spot in the wintertime. Or lace up your snowshoes or cross-country skis to explore the winter landscape. Grab the other kids on your block or in your building and hit the sledding hill at the community park. The options are endless! • Dress for success. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing choices. Remember to bundle up and wear layers when you head outside this winter. You will also want to keep your pet safe by monitoring their time outside and removing the snow from under their bellies and in between their paw pads before heading back inside. Remember, if you are cold, your pet probably is, too.

First-year head coach Gerard Boyce was quite happy with the energy level in both games last week after those heartbreaking defeats from the previous week that followed the Christmas break. “The game against Medford was our first game back after the disappointing loss to Revere,” he said. “We bounced back with energy after some good practices.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 19, 2024 Page 15 Tide girls’ basketball continues to display positive signs amid three more close losses Everett hits the road for Lynn, Somerville next week looking for wins to get back into postseason contention By Joe McConnell I t was another week of close games for the Everett High School girls’ basketball team (2-7). The Tide girls lost to visiting Malden, 40-38 last Thursday, Jan. 11, after they dropped a heartbreaking 46-45 decision to Medford two nights earlier. “It was a high intensity, high energy game throughout all four quarters,” said coach Riley Dunn after the Malden game. “There was really great energy on the team. Unfortunately, we didn’t end up on top.” But there were still many highlights coming from the Everett girls to keep things close. Emilia Maria Babcock accounted for 11 points and five reboards, while also being everywhere on defense to come up with five steals. Malaica Guillaume was a force on the boards, and as a result she ended up with her second double / double this season, which amounted to 14 points and 12 rebounds to go along with three steals and two blocks. There was no rest for the weary, because Dunn’s crew was right back on the Everett court the next night to face nonleague Lowell, where the visitors upended them, 52-39.

Top row, shown from left to right: Assistant Coaches Alex Strempel with Courtney Meninger, Casey Martinez, Sonia Flores, Clarice Alexis, Gerniah Boyce, Kaesta Sandy, Manal Bouhou, Katerin Landaverde and Head Coach Riley Dunn. “It was another tough loss for us, even though we came out strong and stayed with Lowell throughout most of the game,” Dunn said. “We had a solid defensive effort to go along with great contributions on offense. We are definitely growing as a team, and it is starting to show on the court.” Babcock was credited with an impressive stat line against Lowell to snag her first double / double this season. She ended up with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while also coming up with four assists and three steals. Guillaume chipped in with six points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals. The Everett girls have since been getting ready for games against Chelsea (Jan. 17) and BASKETBALL | FROM PAGE 14 Boyce went on to say that his team returned to that “meat and potatoes” approach, and just in time with the second half of the season getting underway. “They understand that we now have to be on our A-game going forward,” he added. Christian Vasquez was the game’s top scorer with 18 points. The Everett boys carried over the winning momentum into last Thursday night’s game at Malden to slowdown the Golden Tornadoes’ offense to end the first half of their regular season schedule needing just three more triumphs to secure a playoff berth. “This was a good team win Everett High Head Coach Gerry Boyce looks at the play developing from the sideline. for the second game in a row,” said Boyce. “We slipped into a little complacency before Lynn Classical (Jan. 18) after press deadline, before heading to Lynn English to take on the Bulldogs Tuesday night, Jan. 23, at 5:30 p.m. They will then travel to Somerville to face the Highlanders two nights later (Jan. 25, 6 p.m.). last week’s games. It happens during the course of any season. But then, we have since humbled ourselves, and went back to the basics of fundamentals to get back on track.” But he’s not taking anything away from the teams that have beaten the Tide previously. “Hats off to those teams that beat us,” he said. Tyson Chhun came off the bench to lead his Tide teammates on offense with 14 points. The Tide had a week off after the win over Malden before they suited up again against host Lynn Classical last night (Jan. 18) after press deadline. They have since come home to get ready to welcome Lynn English to town on Tuesday night, Jan. 23, and then Somerville two nights later. Both games are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 19, 2024 Everett/Revere/Malden Co-Op Hockey Team’s half-season review: tough battles, promising horizons By Dom Nicastro T he Everett/Revere/Malden High Schools cooperative boys’ hockey team fi nished the fi rst half of the season, 4-6. Losing record, yes. But still just one game off the pace in terms of qualifying for the state tournament in March. Everett has 20 games and needs 20 points, or 12 points in its fi nal 10 games. So not a bad fi rst half in that sense, considering the injuries and illnesses on the squad and the youth throughout the lineup. Craig Richards, head coach of the cooperative team that includes players from Everett, Malden, Revere and Mystic Valley high schools, has been impressed with the team’s ability to compete when they are at full strength. Their success is often contingent on their physicality. Now if those illnesses would just go away. “It seems to be only getting worse, to be honest,” Richards said. “I want to say we’ve had a minimum of one guy out just about every day with some sort of illness. We’ve had everything from conjunctivitis to stomach bugs to upper respiratory. I mean, it’s just been crazy.” What’s not crazy is when the team puts things together. And that was showcased in the team’s 8-7 win over Nashoba on the road Jan. 10.

It was a big upset and then the next day we come back and a couple guys are out, and you see what happens (8-1 loss to Stoneham). Depth is key in high school sports, and if you don’t have that depth, it’s very tough to compete.” Richards appreciates the team’s physical style of play, especially during its significant win over Nashoba; he desires to see more of this. He notes the importance of being physical, not allowing opponents to set up their game, and maintaining focus. The coach identifies several off ensive players who have been instrumental in the team’s performance, including senior forward Jake Simpson of Malden, who has shown versatility by playing both defense and forward eff ectively. Other notable contributors contributing to the scoreboard include senior forward Lucas Deguire of Mystic Valley, sophomore forward Frankie Annunziata of Revere and sophomore forward Michael Brandano of Mystic Valley.

Freshman goalie Ray Blauvelt of Everett is gaining experience and has showed promise. “He’s had his great games, and he’s had his not-so-great games,” Richards said. “But you know, overall he’s defi nitely given us what we expected if not a little bit more.” Ultimately, the team comprises a mix of seniors and younger players, including freshmen and sophomores, who are making significant contributions. However, the coach is mindful of the challenge they will face next year with the departure of many seniors. HOCKEY | SEE PAGE 19

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 19, 2024 Page 17 THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon Hill Roll Call records local senators’ and representatives’ votes from the week of January 8-12. REVENGE PORN AND TEEN SEXTING (H 4241) House 151-0, approved and sent to the Senate a proposal that would prohibit the posting of sexually explicit images of another person online without their permission— commonly referred to as “revenge porn.” The practice is often used by ex-spouses or ex-partners. Massachusetts is one of only two states that does not have a law about this crime. The measure makes it illegal to do so and establishes a sentence of up to 2.5 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000; increases the upper limit of the fine for criminal harassment from $1,000 to $5,000; and allows a victim to petition the court for a harassment prevention order against a person who has violated this statute. Another provision changes current law under which minors, under 18 years of age, who share explicit images of themselves or other minors, can be charged with violating Massachusetts child pornography laws and are required to register with the Sex Offender Registry. The bill allows minors to be diverted to an educational program that would provide them with information about the consequences of posting or transmitting indecent visual depictions of minors. The legislation also expands the definition of abuse to include “coercive control,” which includes behaviors aimed at limiting a victim’s safety or autonomy. “The House has heard the urgent call of survivors to enhance protections and ensure that our laws keep up with technology,” said Rep. Mike Day (D-Stoneham), House Chair of the Committee on the Judiciary and the sponsor of the current version of the measure. “But the House doesn’t just listen, we act. It’s critical that these reforms pass into law quickly so that victims of coercive control, adolescent sexting and revenge porn aren’t left without relief.” “The sexting provisions provide law enforcement officers with a middle ground that will allow them to educate kids about the consequences of their actions without ruining their lives,” said Rep. Jeff Roy (D-Franklin), a sponsor of one of the earlier versions of the proposal. “It will have a tremendous impact on people who have become entangled in the web and transmittal of images that can cause traumatic and lifetime harm, through a diversion program that will educate them about the legal and personal consequences of this behavior.” “Protecting victims is the driving force behind these efforts and I am pleased we are giving prosecutors more tools to deal with these disturbing and dangerous situations,” said Rep. Richard Haggerty (D-Woburn), another sponsor of an earlier version of the bill. “By defining coercive control as abuse and closing revenge porn consent loopholes, this law protects against the severe emotional harm too often inflicted through non-physical tactics, sending a clear message that revenge porn, coercive control and criminal harassment have no place in Massachusetts.” Jane Doe Inc. (JDI), the Massachusetts Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence, By Bob Katzen released a statement applauding the Massachusetts House for unanimously passing the bill. JDI’s statement said that “this legislation will advance essential protections for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence across the commonwealth, including stronger protections against image-based sexual assault – sometimes referred to as revenge porn – and coercive control, a pattern of deliberate behavior by an abuser that substantially restricts another person’s safety and autonomy.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes DEEPFAKE IMAGES (H 4241) House 151-0, approved an amendment that would extend the restrictions on revenge porn to include “deepfake” pornography created by computer generation without a subject’s consent. Deepfake pornography typically uses some existing pornography that is digitally manipulated to replace one person’s face likeness with that of the subject’s face. “With the continued advancements in digital technology, AI-manufactured, digitized nude photos are our latest phase of exploitation,” said sponsor Rep. Tricia Farley-Bouvier (D-Pittsfield). “At this time, anyone’s image can be realistically altered to create pornography and then shared without their consent. This amendment takes the critical step to filling the gap being created with this fast-advancing technology and begin to address the pervasive problem of non-consensual deepfake pornography.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes USE INTEREST FROM STATE’S “RAIN DAY FUND” TO LEVERAGE FEDERAL FUNDS (S 2548) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that would leverage the interest from the state’s Rainy Day Fund to better compete for federal dollars, to ensure the state receives the maximum possible share of federal funds and to pay down the state’s long term debt liabilities. The Rainy Day Fund currently has a historic balance of $8.2 billion. Supporters said the bill will require the state comptroller to transfer interest from the Rainy Day Fund to the Commonwealth Federal Matching and Debt Reduction Fund on a quarterly basis if the Rainy Day balance is of a healthy amount. The Secretary of Administration and Finance would then pursue federal funds for infrastructure, resiliency and economic development. Once federal grant opportunities expire, money in the fund will go toward reducing the state’s long-term liabilities. “Remaining competitive, equitable and affordable entails thinking creatively about our commonwealth’s finances and funding, and that is what we accomplished today in the Senate,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “We have been fiscally prudent in buildBeacon Hill Roll Call ing up the largest rainy-day fund in Massachusetts history, and today we are doubling down on our fiscal responsibility by using the interest on that fund to compete for federal dollars that will save our commonwealth even more in the long run.” “The legislation that the Senate approved today provides us with a smart accounting measure that we can utilize to effectively stretch and maximize our taxpayer dollars to place the commonwealth in the very best position to compete for these lucrative federal funds, while also ensuring we continue to protect our rainy day reserves and adhere to sound fiscal discipline,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “Government is all about partnership.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes REQUIRE THE GOVERNOR TO GIVE 30 DAYS NOTICE (S 2548) Senate 38-0 and 38-0, approved two amendments to the bill that leverages the interest from the state’s Rainy Day Fund to better compete for federal dollars. Both amendments make the governor’s spending and transfers of funds subject to a 30-day advance reporting requirement to allow the Legislature and the public to know what is being considered before any actions are taken. “This bill gives the governor and her administration the unilateral power to control what could potentially be millions of public dollars generated from the interest earned by the state’s stabilization fund,” said Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the sponsor of both amendments. “Power must be balanced by the transparency and accountability these amendments provide. They will ensure that the Legislature and the public know what is happening with these precious public resources before it happens.” (Both roll calls are listed. On both roll calls, a “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes/Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL DON’T MISS THIS “HOW CAN WE ACHIEVE HEALTH CARE EQUITY IN MASSACHUSETTS” EVENT - Join MASSterList and the State House News Service for an in-person event at the Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) in Downtown Crossing, Boston on January 23 from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. Massachusetts health care is renowned for its leadership and innovation and yet it falls alarmingly short in delivering equitable access and outcomes. Health data has consistently revealed an array of morally indefensible health disparities along racial lines, including in maternal health, diabetes opioid use and access to preventive care. The in-depth discussion includes health leaders, including providers, advocates and elected officials, on the next steps that are needed for Massachusetts to achieve health equity for all, and how different sectors, leaders, and communities can get involved.

Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 19, 2024 BEACON | FROM PAGE 17 overruled the Legislature and ruled that life sentences without the possibility of parole for offenders who were 18, 19 or 20 when they committed their crimes violate the prohibition against cruel or unusual punishment and are unconstitutional. “Bravo, a strong juvenile justice victory,” posted Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Marlborough) on X. #cjreform advocates estimate around 200 incarcerated people could be eligible for parole from the SJC ruling, with more decisions to come.” Some legislators said the court overstepped its boundaries and violated the constitution’s separation of powers. “Passing laws that make crimes and set sentences is the province of the Legislature, and if the majority of the court wants to get into that business, then they ought to resign from the court and run for the Legislature,” said Rep. Jeff Turco (D-Winthrop). “Today’s ruling underscores the importance of our legal system acknowledging the ongoing brain development of young people in order to improve public safety, reduce recidivism and deliver justice,” said Attorney General Andrea Campbell. “The science emphatically demonstrates that young people have an extraordinary capacity to change and mature, and our justice system should provide them the invaluable opportunity to turn their lives around and fulfil their potential.” ZERO EMISSIONS BY 2040 (S 2488) – The Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy Committee held a hearing on legislation that would accelerate the decrease of carbon emissions by requiring the state to achieve net zero emissions by 2040, instead of current law which sets the goal for 2050. “I filed this legislation because the latest scientific consensus indicates the worst effects of our climate crisis have begun to unravel,” said sponsor Sen. Marc Pacheco (D-Taunton). “In terms of our collective progress toward net zero emissions, we are crawling when the science clearly demonstrates we need to be sprinting. We have now already reached the point where you don’t need to look at the science, just look out your window.” REQUIRE INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS TO GET CUSTOMER’S CONSENT (H 3179) – Another measure heard by the Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy Committee would prohibit telecommunications or internet service providers from collecting personally identifiable information from a customer as a result of the customer’s use of the telecommunications or internet services, without the customer’s express written approval. “[The bill] seeks to empower consumers by allowing them to take control of how their personal information is collected and disseminated,” said sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “At a time of growing privacy concerns, this bill will help to ensure that no personally identifiable information is shared by a telecommunications or internet service provider without the customer’s explicit written consent and will give the customer the power to revoke that consent at any time.” STUDENTS MUST TAKE A FINANCIAL LITERACY COURSE (H 4199) – The Education Committee held a public hearing on legislation that would require the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to develop and assist in the implementation of curriculum on personal financial literacy to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to become self-supporting and to enable them to make critical decisions regarding personal finances. All students in grades 9-12 would be required to take the course. The components of the curriculum would include the understanding of loans, borrowing money, in~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ CITY OF EVERETT Request for Proposals for Public Social Services Funding FY 2024 CDBG Application terest, credit card debt and online commerce; the rights and responsibilities of renting or buying a home; saving, investing and planning for retirement; banking and financial services; balancing a checkbook; state and federal taxes; charitable giving; preventing identity theft; avoiding online scams; and learning a basic understanding of cryptocurrencies. “Far too many of our young people are thrust into life after high school with limited education on basic financial skills and habits,” said sponsor Rep. Ryan Hamilton (D-Methuen). “This is unacceptable in a world where ever-increasing college costs lead to high student debt burden and inflated rent and living costs make finding a stable job and place to live challenging for our young people especially. Ensuring that all students in Massachusetts receive financial literacy education prior to graduation is critical to both empowering the next generation and spreading greater information on healthy money practices throughout our communities.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “I am proud to support the Equality Model Bill as it acknowledges the lived reality of trafficking survivors and the inherent exploitation of prostituted persons. My Office’s Human Trafficking Division is a proud member of the Commonwealth’s Anti-Trafficking Task Force, a statewide, collaborative approach for combatting both labor and sex trafficking in Massachusetts. We will continue to work with survivors, law enforcement, community organizations and elected officials to elevate this critical work and ensure protections for survivors.” --- Attorney General Andrea Campbell as local sex trade survivors joined advocates and lawmakers at the Massachusetts State House to recognize National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. BEACON | SEE PAGE 23 10 year payout for RMDs T he IRS has clarified when non-spouse beneficiaries of IRA or 401(k) accounts must withdraw monies from the account after the owner’s death. These withdrawals are known as Required Minimum Distributions (RMD’s). If the account owner dies prior to the Required Beginning Date (RBD), the date the account owner must begin withdrawing monies from the IRA account or 401(k) account, the beneficiary must empty out the account by the end of the 10th year following the account owner’s death. If the account owner dies after the RBD, the beneficiary must withdraw monies out of the inherited IRA or 401(k) account each year and must also empty the account by the end of the 10th year after the account owner’s death. The RBD is now age 73 under the SECURE ACT 2.0. Pursuant to IRS NoThe City of Everett, acting through the Department of Planning and Development and the Mayor’s Office of Human Services is seeking proposals/applications for Public Social Services funding from organizations and agencies that provide services to Everett’s low-and -moderate income residents to include in its FY 2024 CDBG MiniEntitlement Program grant application. The City will select up to five (5) proposals for social service activities to include in its grant application to the Executive Offices of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC). Proposals must include a detailed description of services, number of beneficiaries, detailed budget (including outside sources). The period of performance will be for 12 months. The deadline for submitting proposals/applications is 5:00 PM, February 7, 2024. Interested parties/organizations may obtain the Request for Proposals (RFP) by contacting the Department of Planning and Development in person, Everett City Hall, Room 25, 484 Broadway, Everett, MA by telephone at (617) 455-9890 or by emailing dhansen@cogincorp. com. The RFP is also available on the City’s website at www.cityofeverett.com. Mini-Entitlement (CDBG) grant funds are issued through the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Executive Offices of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC). January 19, 2024 tice 2022-53, the IRS intends on following this approach. As an example of how this area of the tax law operates in practice, assume a mother and father both die in a simultaneous death. The mother is age 69 and the father is age 74. They have one child who is named the 100% secondary beneficiary of each of their IRA accounts. Since the mother had not yet reached her RBD, the child simply needs to empty out this inherited IRA account by the end of the 10TH year following her death. No annual RMDs are required. Since the father died after his RBD, the child needs to withdraw annual RMDs from this inherited IRA account over a 10- year period and must also empty it out by the end of the 10th year following his death. If an IRA or 401(k) owner dies before his RBD and the beneficiary is the owner’s estate or a nonqualifying Trust, the beneficiary must empty out the account by the end of the 5th year following the account owner’s death. No RMDs are required during this five-year period. If, however, the account owner dies after his RBD, the estate or nonqualifying Trust can withdraw the remaining account balance over the remaining life expectancy in years of the account owner reduced by 1 each year after death. This is often referred to as the “ghost” life expectancy. If a qualifying Trust is the beneficiary of the IRA or 401(k) plan, then the five-year period is extended to 10 years. Essentially, the Trust must be a conduit or see-through Trust meaning the beneficiaries are clearly identified pursuant to the provisions of the Trust. Once the account owner starts withdrawing RMDs, they cannot subsequently be turned off after his or her death. If, however, the surviving spouse is the beneficiary of the IRA or 401(k) account, he or she can establish his or her own “spousal” IRA account and refrain from taking RMDs so long as he or she has not yet obtained the age of 73 under the SECURE ACT 2.0. Once reaching the age of 73, RMDs must be withdrawn based upon the IRS life expectancy tables. Joseph D. Cataldo is an estate planning/elder law attorney, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner, AICPA Personal Financial Specialist and holds a masters degree in taxation.

Say nr Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller Are You at Risk of Developing Glaucoma? Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about the eye disease glaucoma? My older brother was recently diagnosed with it and lost some of his vision, but never had a clue anything was wrong. Could I be at risk too? Stressed Sibling Dear Stressed, Yes! Having an immediate family member with glaucoma significantly increases your risks of developing it, but there are other risk factors you need to be aware of too. Here’s what you should know. What is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve and cause vision loss and blindness if it’s not treated. This typically happens because the fl uids in the eye don’t drain properly, causing increased pressure in the eyeball. But the scary thing about glaucoma is that with no early warning signs or pain, most people that have it don’t realize it until their vision begins to deteriorate. While there are two main types of glaucoma, the most common form that typically aff ects older adults is called open-angle glaucoma. This disease develops very slowly when the eye’s drainage canals become clogged over time, leading to blind spots in the peripheral or side vision. By the time you notice it, the permanent damage is already done. Are You at Risk? It’s estimated that more than 3 million Americans have glaucoma today, but that number is expected to surge to more than 6.3 million by 2050. If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, you’re at increased risk of developing it. • Are you African American, Hispanic/Latino American or Asian American? • Are you over age 60? • Do you have an immediate family member with glaucoma? • Do you have diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, migraines or have extreme nearsightedness or farsightedness? • Have you had a past eye injury? • Have you used corticosteroids (for example, eye drops, pills, inhalers, and creams) for long periods of time? What to Do Early detection is the key to guarding against glaucoma. So, if you’re age 40 or older and have any of the previously mentioned risk factors, especially if you’re African American, you need to get a comprehensive eye examination every 18 to 24 months. Or, if you notice some loss of peripheral vision, get to the eye doctor right away. If you’re a Medicare beneficiary, annual eye examinations are covered for those at high risk for glaucoma. Or if you don’t have vision coverage, contact EyeCare America, a national public service program that provides free glaucoma eye exams through a pool of more than 4,600 volunteer ophthalmologists. Visit AAO.org/eyecare-america or call 877-887-6327 to learn more. While there’s currently no cure for glaucoma, most cases can be treated with prescription eye drops, which reduce eye pressure and can prevent further vision loss. It cannot, however, restore vision already lost from glaucoma. If eye drops don’t work, your doctor may recommend oral medication, laser treatments, incisional surgery or a combination of these methods. For more information on glaucoma, visit the National Eye Institute at NEI.nih. gov, and the Glaucoma Research Foundation at Glaucoma.org. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

These offi cial mailings have the state seal printed on the outside, to help voters distinguish them from any political mailings they may also be receiving.” --- Secretary of State Bill Galvin telling voters to be on the lookout for their Offi cial 2024 Vote by Mail Application, as the March 5 Presidential primary gets closer. “Our audits help to identify where there may be defi ciencies, a lack of oversight, or a need for greater accountability across state government. We commend the [the National Guard] for taking responsibility for addressing the areas of concern raised in our audit to ensure they are making necessary improvements.” ---State Auditor Diana DiZoglio releasing an audit of the Massachusetts National Guard indicating some fl aws by the guard including that the guard did not keep adequate records for service members enrolling in state colleges and universities through the Massachusetts Army and Air Force National Guard Tuition and Fee Reimbursement Program. “This new program seeks to provide funding for women students, who may not be able to access scholarship and grant funding typically available to more traditional students, to continue their education and path to economic success.” ---Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women Commissioner Denella Clark announcing a new scholarship program. 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 fi led. 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 January 8-12, the House met for a total of four hours and 41 minutes and the Senate met for a total of three hours and 53 minutes. Mon. Jan. 8 House 11:03 a.m. to 11:12 a.m. Senate 11:11 a.m. to 11:19 a.m. Tues. Jan. 9 No House session No Senate session Wed. Jan. 10 House 11:01 a.m. to 2:56 p.m. No Senate session. Thurs.
