THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 29, 2024 Page 7 City officials answer councillors’ infrastructure questions C By Neil Zolot ouncillor-at-Large Guerline Alcy Jabouin asked city officials how they would handle infrastructure improvements, particularly related to water, wastewater and sewage services as a result of rapid development, at the City Council meeting on Monday, March 25. “Everybody wants to build in Everett and we feel we’re being suffocated and won’t be able to breathe,” she said. “I feel like I’ll wake up and won’t be able to turn on my water.” “We have plans to accommodate future needs,” stated City Engineer Erik Swanson. “We’re focused on areas with new development. Additional development in already established areas is not as critical as areas of new development, such as the Commercial Triangle south of Revere Beach Parkway/Route 16. There’s enough redundancy in areas already developed, but not in areas south of Revere Beach Parkway.” He also said existing pipes are “substantial. The pipes were installed with a build-out in mind. Pipes are sized to accommodate a full build-out. We’re working with consultants to understand our needs. That study isn’t done yet.” “We’re working with developers to tell us what we need to do for future development,” Swanson said regarding a question related to any future development. “It’s being worked on now. There are also plans to replace existing pipes in existing sections. There are plans to replace lead service lines in the next 18 months. Plans are not finished for undeveloped sections.” Jabouin asked about financial obligations to homeowners should pipe replacement be deemed necessary. The City’s Chief Financial Officer, Eric Demas, answered, “The City is fully insured.” “If it’s determined it’s the City’s fault, the City would be financially responsible,” City Solicitor Colleen Mejia added. “If it’s determined it’s the homeowner’s responsibility, the City wouldn’t be.” The determination would be made by City officials and insurance adjusters. “Where do the City and homeowners’ pipes meet?” asked Councillor-at-Large Michael Marchese, who, ironically, has owned multiple properties throughout the city for many years. Swanson answered that homeowners are responsible for pipes for their house to the main. After the meeting, Jabouin felt frustrated. “I feel like we’re not getting ready for what’s about to happen,” she said. “I’m not against development, but I’m against having all these new units no one can afford and want to know if we’re dealing with the infrastructure to accommodate all the development. What are our plans? Everett is an old city and we’ll have backups because of all the additional development our infrastructure won’t be able to handle.” Also addressed at the meeting, the councillors approved Mayor asks all residents to participate in annual Earth Day Cleanup All are welcome to register to help plant 3,000 trees M and clean up at Gateway Park and Glenwood Cemetery In addition to planting trees that the City of Everett will host the annual Earth Day Cleanup on Saturday, April 20, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., at Gateway Park (inside the Gateway Center: 1 Mystic View Rd.) and Glenwood Cemetery (Washington Avenue). In celebration of Earth Day, which is recognized every year on April 22 to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement, the City will join with community members and local organizations to plant 3,000 trees at Gateway Park. In order to reach this goal, the Mayor is asking all residents to join in on this community effort to help improve Everett’s environment.

Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 29, 2024 Caregivers, need a break? MVES program offers relief to family caregivers EHS students and teachers receive Narcan training Students learned about the importance of administering Narcan when needed and the negative effects of addiction S tudents and teachers at Everett High School Local families are shown attending Mystic Valley Elder Services’ Memory Café featuring Fill My Heart With Song. A Memory Café, which is designed for people with memory loss and their loved ones to create positive experiences and develop a support network, is just one of the MVES programs that support family caregivers. (Courtesy of MVES) Y ou’ve probably heard the phrase “Caregivers need care, too.” It’s certainly true, but it’s often easier said than done. If you are a family caregiver who could use a little support, Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) can help. MVES is a nonprofit that specializes in supporting older adults, people with disabilities and their caregivers. MVES has found that many caregivers aren’t aware of the guidance and services available to them – some think they can’t afford it, while others believe their income is too high to qualify for help. In reality, there are resources to assist all caregivers and families, regardless of their income. You don’t have to do it alone. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts awarded MVES a grant to develop new ways to support caregivers. The grant empowered MVES to provide monetary stipends to families that don’t qualify for MassHealth, so that caregivers can take advantage of in-person and online programs that suit their needs. MVES was also able to create a quarterly Saturday program at The Community Family’s adult day health center. Designed for those caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia, this program gives caregivers a much-needed break during weekend hours. Navigating your options: These opportunities are only one part of MVES’ Caregiver Support Program. It can be overwhelming to find the right information, care and resources. For over 45 years, MVES has helped families navigate the options and find solutions that work for them. The MVES Caregiver Support Program also offers: • A wide variety of MVES services, whether your loved one needs them now or later, including: transportation, Meals on Wheels, in-home services and insurance counseling • In-person and virtual support groups • Workshops, training and educational resources • Referrals and help applying for programs • Memory Café events for families dealing with memory loss • Help for grandparents raising grandkids • Guest speakers and other special events You are eligible for the Caregiver Support program at MVES if you fit any of these descriptions: • You care for an adult age 60 or older • You care for someone with dementia (such as Alzheimer’s disease) • You are age 55 or older and care for a child under 18 (grandparent or other nonparent relative) • You are age 55 or older and care for an adult with a disability For more about the Caregiver Support Program, or any of the services offered by MVES, please contact 781-324-7705 ext. 100 or visit www.mves.org. (EHS) received training on how to administer Narcan – a medication that is used to reverse an opioid overdose – when needed. The training, which was led by Fenway Health (ACCESS Drug User Health Program) Overdose Aftercare and Outreach Specialist Brielle Carelli, educated students on how to administer Narcan and when to use it. In addition to Carelli, Everett Public Schools Youth Substance Prevention Specialist Juliana Blodgett, Everett Fire Department Outreach Addiction Specialist Paul Guarino and Assistant Director of Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Eric Mazzeo spoke about their roles in the community and how they will be interacting with youth going forward. The students also had the opportunity to learn about the effects of addiction and alcoholism on individuals, families and communities. The goal of the training was to engage with EHS students and teachers on what the meaning of harm reduction is and how Narcan can save lives. Additionally, the training helped spread awareness to all high school students about fentanyl, the dangers of counterfeit pills and the importance of administering Narcan. If you or someone you know is dealing with Substance Use Disorder, there are resources available. The Everett Fire Department offers the Roadmap to Recovery program, which helps individuals and families navigate through community services that can access recovery resources. Roadmap to Recovery can be reached by calling or texting Paul Guarino at 617-879-0489. The Everett Recovery Connection (ERC) is a program within the Public Health Department that focuses on connecting the community to addiction and recovery support services.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 29, 2024 Page 19 Tide softball coach Stacy Schiavo set to begin her 26th T he Everett High School (183) softball team completed a mighty successful championship season in the Greater Boston League (GBL) last year under the direction of veteran coach Stacy Schiavo. They then went on to participate in the Division 1 state tournament as the 34th seed, where they were eliminated by host Needham in the preliminary round. But 2024 is a new year, and Schiavo’s squad is ready for another banner campaign in the GBL with the hopes of going deep into the postseason. There’s no doubt that possibility awaits them with 11 returning players. Schiavo has already rounded her varsity roster of 15 with the addition of four newcomers to the big club. The 2024 Crimson Tide varsity softball roster is going to consist of freshman Mia Allen, senior Everett High School junior catcher Emilia Maria-Babcock, shown swinging away during a game last April, returns as the team’s new starting catcher this year. The Tide will begin the GBL season on Wednesday, April 3, at Chelsea’s Carter Park, beginning at 4 p.m. (Advocate File Photo) Arabela Cvitkusic, junior Jayla DaVilla, senior Stephany DeSouza, freshman Olivia Dresser, senior Alessandra Foster, senior Emma Longmore, junior Emilia Maria-Babcock, senior Bryanna Mason, senior Gianna Masucci, junior Kassidy Rivera, senior Chloe Salvi, junior Ashley Seward, junior Alexa Uga and junior Peyton Warren. Schiavo is excited that the entire infield and outfield is back, but the catcher will be different with Babcock replacing Kayley Rossi. The Tide will also have a new look in the circle. Last year’s ace Kristi Skane has since graduated, along with her batterymate Rossi, but Warren is ready to step in to throw strikes. These two junior replacements will now provide the varsity much stability at the two most important positions on the diamond for the next two springs, a luxury that’s certainly not overlooked by the Tide mentor. Throughout the course of a season, any good team needs capable backups, and Allen, a freshman, will give the varsity just that in the circle. But for the most part, she will be honing her skills as a hurler on the JV club. The team goals for the upcoming season remain simple for the coach. “We want to be more consistent on offense, and not be complacent,” Schiyear with the same winning aspirations Everett opens up the GBL season against host Chelsea next Wednesday at Carter Park By Joe McConnell avo said. But then she added, “we would like to win the league again, and move further into the playoffs.” Schiavo is beginning her 26th year along the Everett sidelines, and has compiled a most impressive 330-192 career record. With that type of success, another winning campaign should be in the cards for the Everett girls. But Schiavo knows she can’t win by herself, and that’s where Jen Nigro comes in as her varsity assistant. The JV team is going to be headed up by Danielle Kennedy-Nadeau. Bridget Cifuni is in charge of the freshman club. Everett was scheduled to open up the regular season yesterday (March 28) at Glendale Park against non-league Cambridge, weather permitting. They will then begin the league schedule at Chelsea’s Carter Park on Wednesday, April 3, starting at 4 p.m. Meet the 2024 Everett High Boys’ Varsity Volleyball Crimson Tide Team Boys’ Varsity Volleyball Seniors, shown from left to right: Nischal Tamang, Hyan Soares DeCastro, Kalleb Miranda, Anthony Couto and Mark Pierre during media day on Monday afternoon at Everett High School.

Page 20 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 29, 2024 ~ Excellence in the EPS ~ State Finalists! EHS Theatre Company advances to the fi nal round of the METG Drama Festival E verett High School (EHS) has earned a place in the Massachusetts Educational Theatre Guild (METG) 2024 Drama Festival Finals, the culminating achievement in a successful multiyear eff ort to build a Theatre Company that can stand – and stage! – with any school in the Commonwealth. The achievement is as historic as it is impressive. EHS, one of the METG’s founding members in 1930, has not reached the festival fi nals since 1954 – a testament to how diffi cult it is to progress through the preliminary and semifi nal rounds of the competition. “We could not be happier for these students and faculty,” said Superintendent William Hart. “This is truly a case of being among the best of the best, and we look forward to seeing them showcase their talents to a large audience in Boston later this month.” The 2024 METG Drama Festival Finals are spread over three days – March 21-23 – at the Back Bay Events Center (180 Berkeley St. in Boston). EHS is scheduled to take the stage on Saturday, March 23, at 3 p.m., when it will stage “August and Noble.” Written by Carlos Murillo, “Augusta and Noble” is the coming-of-age story of Gabi Castillo, who lives in a vibrant Latino community in the West Town neighborhood of Chicago. Gabi is a new student at Northside College Prep, where she is quickly exposed to new people and possibilities. “This powerful piece of theater represents my community on stage,” said senior Gabrielle De Gouveia, who plays the role of Gabi Castillo. “So many of us in Everett share the story of Gabi, and her family. Many of our parents share the sacrifices of Dolores and Reymundo for the betterment of their children’s future. Hearing from other viewers of the play at Prelims and Semi’s say that they have never seen this type of story represented on stage is truly meaningful to me. It is a beautiful representation of the immigrant experience, and I hope that others feel the same way.” EHS is one of only 14 schools to punch a ticket to the METG fi nals. The festival began with 115 participating schools that competed in the preliminary round. The four highest ranked theater companies from the 13 preliminary sites advanced to the semifi - nal round, which consisted of six schools at seven locations. Only the top two schools from each semifi nal festival reached the fi nals. (EHS has a been a semifinal participant several times in recent years.) EHS Theatre Company students received nine All Star Company Awards across the preliminary and semifi nal rounds, garnering praise for all aspects of the show. Of EHS actor Gianna Rodriguez-Sanchez, a semifinal judge wrote, “Your performance as Dolores was captivating from the moment you walked on stage. You brought a maternal instinct that anchored your performance and made the backstory of your harrowing journey so believable. I found myself lost in the way you carried your character, forgetting I was watching a High School performance.” “I was immediately intrigued by what I saw with vestiges of a chain link fence and some incredible painting and graffi ti work,” a preliminary round judge said of EHS’s set design. “[To the] set construction and scenic painting crew, this was outstanding work. You created the world of the play with this practical and emblematic set.” The production of “Augusta and Noble” is directed by a faculty-led team: Artistic Director Evan DeMarzo, Scenic Director Briana Pierce, Costume Director Josephine Dougan, Theatrical Advisor Britt Mitchell and Scenic Construction Advisor Eric Pierce.

The challenging, high-energy event was hosted by the Massachusetts Restaurant Association Education Fund and gave EHS students the chance to cook alongside nearly 100 of their peers from nine Massachusetts high schools. Juniors Derek Carreiro, Trev’on Carrington, Daniel Gracias and Anthony Sanitzo entered the team competition, in which the young chefs had to prepare a restaurant-quality three-course meal. In addition, the students had to provide their recipes, cost plans and menu pricing to the judges at the outset of the festivities. The EHS students prepared pan-seared duck, sweet potato gnocchi, watercress and a pomegranate demi-glace for an appetizer. For their entrée, they made an apple-stuffed pork loin with sweet potato, Brussels sprouts and an apple Dijon sauce. And they served a poached apple cake with apple craisin chutney, spiced walnuts and whipped cream for dessert. EHS seniors Arlo Connell and Mariela Chacon took part in the cake decorating competition. They made prebaked, two-layer, 10-inch cakes that they had one hour to decorate as beautifully and elaborately as possible. Connell fi nished third and Chacon placed 11th in the cake decorating category among 23 entrants. “My congratulations to these talented students and their instructors, Carolynn Parmenter and Corey Bourassa,” said Superintendent William Hart. “They have been working on these recipes since November, and they did a stellar job of representing Everett High School on a big stage.” The students cooked in front of judges and spectators, including Everett State Representative Joe McGonagle and former Patriots standout Patrick Chung. Framingham High School: “The Heart of Robin Hood.” Joseph Case High School: “ Icarus.” Leominster High School: “The Unravelling.” Milton High School: “Nora’s Lost.” North Reading High School: “Much Ado About Nothing.” Peabody Veterans Memorial High School: “The Whale.” Sharon High School: “Middletown.” St. John’s Prep: “Nothing/ Something.” Wayland High School: “The Everyday Adventures of Harriet Handleman (Super Genius).” Westford Academy: “Disgraced.” Tickets for the fi nals can be purchased at tickets@metg.org EHS Culinary Arts students Anthony Sanitzo, Trev’on Carrington, Derek Carreiro, Daniel Gracias, Arlo Connell and Mariela Chacon.

Competing in the Debate en Español portion of the championships, the students engaged in a carefully researched and lively debate on the public policy topic of Universal Basic Income vs. Baby Bonds. Patino Molano and Marquina Acosta were joined in the fi nals by their EHS classmates Hillary Monja Angeles and Franklin Benitez. In addition, Gabriel Ponce Lemus (a semifi nalist in the Varsity Division) and Andrew Orrellana competed in the City Championships and did a stellar job of representing EHS.

Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen There were no roll calls in the House last week. REVENGE PORN AND TEEN SEXTING (S 2703) Senate 40-0, approved 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 break this new law 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 - LEGAL NOTICE - $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. “With passage of this bill toTHE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS LAND COURT DEPARTMENT OF THE TRIAL COURT Docket Number: 24 SM 001178 ORDER OF NOTICE To: Hector Tumpson and to all persons entitled to the benefit of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, 50 U.S.C. c. 50 §3901 et seq.: U.S. Bank, N.A., successor trustee to LaSalle Bank National Association, on behalf of the holders of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I Trust 2005-HE1, Asset-Backed Certificates Series 2005-HE1 claiming to have an interest in a Mortgage covering real property in Everett, numbered 97 Irving Street, given by Hector Tumpson to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., as nominee for Intervale Mortgage Corporation, dated August 3, 2004, and recorded in the Middlesex County (Southern District) Registry of Deeds in Book 43478, Page 153, as modified by a certain modification agreement dated November 1, 2012, and recorded with said Middlesex County (Southern District) Registry of Deeds in Book 60465, Page 388, and now held by the Plaintiff by assignment, has/have filed with this court a complaint for determination of Defendant’s/Defendants’ Servicemembers status.

John Keenan (D-Quincy). “I am deeply grateful to those who shared their stories and advocated for change to ensure others would not have to suffer as they have. For every case we know of, countless others remain hidden, so I hope passage of this legislation by the Senate will soon lead to the bill being signed into law by the governor. Most importantly, I hope it will provide some closure for survivors and their loved ones and send a clear message that there will be consequences for such conduct.” “I am proud that the Senate has passed comprehensive legislation to prevent abuse and exploitation,” said Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Marlborough), Senate Chair of the Judiciary Committee. “The rise of new technology has created a reality in our society where it is easy to cause great harm and significant trauma to people, and Massachusetts needs to take action to better protect victims and prevent such disturbing actions from happening. We also need to provide more tools to protect people in a relationship from being psychologically abused through coercive control, with a growing recognition of the many ways that a partner or family member can cause emotional harm.” The House has already approved a different version of the bill and a House-Senate conference committee will likely work out a compromise version.

For calendar year 2024, the tax credit will increase to $440 per qualifying individual. If you are a Massachusetts non-resident filing a non-resident Massachusetts income tax return, you cannot claim this tax credit. Part year residents can claim the credit and must calculate the tax credit he or she is qualified for based upon the days living in Massachusetts. A dependent or spouse with a disability is an individual who is physically or mentally incapable of caring for himself or herself and who principally lives with the taxpayer for more than half of the taxable year. This is also a refundable tax credit so even if you your total tax is zero and you had no withholdings from wages or pension income, for example, you would still be able to receive a refund based upon the tax credit as calculated on your Massachusetts income tax return. This is the first year that Massachusetts has provided for such a tax credit. It is a big help to taxpayers caring for children, parents or disabled individuals. This is in addition to the virtual doubling of the circuit breaker tax credit available to taxpayers age 65 or older. Joseph D.

SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET INCLUDING $250 MILLION FUNDING FOR SHELTERS (S 2708) Senate 32-8, approved a supplemental budget that includes an additional $250 million in funding for the Emergency Assistance Program that funds the emergency family shelter system which houses migrants. The bill requires each family in shelter to receive an individualized rehousing plan. It makes eligibility for shelter after nine months contingent upon compliance with the rehousing plan, with certain categorical exemptions. It would also allow officials to award one or more 90-day extensions to shelter residents who meet certain criteria, such as veterans, the disabled, a single parents of children with disabilities or those who need an extension to avoid losing a job. Other provisions keep in place some pandemic-era programs, set to expire, including allowing restaurants to sell beer, wine and cocktails for take-out and expanding outdoor dining. “The plan passed by the Senate today addresses the state’s fiscal reality while also treating individuals who have migrated to our state with dignity and respect,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “As we continue to navigate through a challenge that has landed on our doorBHRC | SEE PAGE 24

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 29, 2024 Page 23 Sa nir Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller Best Cell Phones for Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some good cell phones for seniors? My 79-year-old mother needs to get a new mobile phone and has asked me to help her fi nd one that she would like. Searching Daughter Dear Searching, For older adults, choosing a cell phone is not a one-size-fi ts-all proposition. Some seniors love the latest high-tech smartphones with high-megapixel cameras, while others prioritize simple phones with basic functions. So, the best cell phone for your mom will depend on her comfort with technology, priorities and budget. Best Cell Phones To help identify the best cell phones for older adults, I consulted Wirecutter, a product testing and recommendation service from The New York Times who recently tested 18 cell phone models. Their testing focus was on three diff erent areas, including best phones for older adults who are comfortable with technology and want to upgrade to a full-featured smartphone with robust accessibility settings; best cell phones for seniors who are not tech-inclined or who prefer a smartphone with fewer features, as well as those who are experiencing vision, hearing, or dexterity issues; and best cell phones for elderly seniors who need specific accessibility features due to physical or cognitive issues. Here are their top choices based on their tests. Apple iPhone 15 Plus: This is a great choice if your mom is comfortable with technology and willing to spend more for a top-tier smartphone with a range of accessibility, health, and safety features. The 15 Plus has an easy-to-read, large (6.7-inch) screen and the most robust health and safety features, including an off - grid SOS, a personal-safety check, and plenty of customizable accessibility options that help seniors with vision and hearing loss, as well as with speaking and/or dexterity problems. ($899, apple.com). Google Pixel 8: If your mom has been using an Android device and is more comfortable with this operating system, the Pixel 8 is a high-end, reasonably priced smartphone that tops their list for older adults. It too has a sharp, large (6.7-inch) screen with an excellent camara and many health, safety, and accessibility features that can help seniors with vision impairment, hearing loss, hand tremors and more. And it costs significantly less than the new Samsung Galaxy and iPhone models. ($699, store.google.com). Lively Jitterbug Smart4: If your mom wants a simplifi ed smartphone that’s very affordable, she might prefer this model. Like the Apple 15 Plus and Google Pixel 8, the Jitterbug Smart4 also has a 6.7-inch screen, but this phone comes with a listbased menu (no icons) that provides easy navigation. It also off ers voice commands capabilities, and a number of health and safety services including a 24/7 emergency monitoring service. This phone would also work well for people with memory or vision issues. ($150, lively. com). RAZ Mobility Memory Cell Phone: This phone is specifi cally designed for seniors with memory issues or more-advanced cognitive decline. Its uncluttered, simple functionality allows users to stay in touch with family and friends while also reducing common problems such as unnecessary calls to emergency services, spam, and fraud. It also has a dedicated SOS link on the screen that can alert up to three contacts; has GPS tracking capabilities; provides caregiver controls and more. ($349, razmobility.com). Snapfon ez4G: This is a non-smartphone if your mom doesn’t want or need all the functionality of a full-featured smartphone. This simple cell phone provides large buttons, big screen type and an SOS emergency button on the back of the phone that will alert up to fi ve preselected contacts by call and text. ($100, snapfon.com). Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

Page 24 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MARCH 29, 2024 BHRC | FROM PAGE 22 step because of Congressional inaction, today we are addressing the immediate need to house families, bolstering our existing efforts to support those who have immigrated here in becoming part of our workforce, and providing a roadmap to manage this effort over time.” “The Senate recognized the necessity of continuing to proactively respond swiftly and decisively to meet this unprecedented humanitarian emergency shelter crisis headon, by not only providing the requisite funds to address this crisis, but also provide a longterm framework to transition these families out of temporary shelters and into permanent housing,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “With $250 million in emergency funding for fiscal year 2024, we can weather this challenge as we develop solutions for rehousing families, provide workforce opportunities and integrate these children into our public school system. “I voted No on the supplemental budget because the “Right to Shelter” law is costing the commonwealth $3 million a day to house, feed, protect and educate or provide childcare services to individuals and families who are not our residents,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “Our emergency shelter program was never meant to handle the number of individuals it is housing today and the federal government, who has the sole authority to handle this immigration crisis and provide financial relief to states, is nowhere to be found,” said Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield) who also voted against the measure. “As the demand for the program continues at this unsustainable rate, we simply cannot continue to fund this ourselves without jeopardizing countless critical programs that we hold dear.” Sen. Bruce Tarr, the chief opponent of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to explain why he voted against it. (A “Yes” vote is for the budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes RESETTLEMENT AGENCIES MUST CONSULT WITH STATE (S 2708) Senate 8-31, rejected an amendment that would require resettlement agencies to consult on a monthly basis with the Governor’s Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities to ascertain the projected availability of space in the state’s shelter system. It also prohibits resettlement agencies from undertaking resettlement activity when it is foreseeable that the shelter system will exceed capacity. “By directing resettlement agencies to work more closely with the Healey Administration, [the amendment] would have helped the commonwealth better forecast its shelter capacity and ensure that we always have space for those who need it most,” said Sen. Mike Moore (D-Millbury) who voted in favor of the amendment. “I believe this would’ve been key to ensuring that our emergency shelter system is not overrun and that we can keep costs from spiraling out of control.” Amendment opponents said the amendment is unnecessary and argued the resettlement agencies do a great job and should not be handcuffed and tied up with the bureaucracy. Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the sponsor of the amendment and Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington) who opposed the amendment did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them to explain why they voted the way they did. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No TAKE INTO ACCOUNT LENGTH OF RESIDENCY IN BAY STATE (S 2708) Senate 12-27, rejected an amendment that would require the state take into account an individual’s length of residency in Massachusetts when determining priority in securing emergency shelter. “While this amendment is not a residency requirement, it would’ve made sure those who have demonstrated a longer commitment to the commonwealth are prioritized for extended stays in the commonwealth’s emergency shelter system,” said Sen. Mike Moore (D-Millbury) who voted for the amendment. “To be clear, there are important exceptions to this rule – those who are at imminent risk of harm due to domestic violence and those who are making progress toward work authorization will not be skipped over. This strikes me as a reasonable compromise to ensure our emergency shelter system is available to Bay Staters who need it first, while preserving the spirit of the law that maintains Massachusetts as a place that is welcoming to all.” Amendment opponents said this would essentially create an unfair residency requirement that would have Bay State residents competing with each other for slots. They noted there are already reasonable provisions in the bill which prioritize pregnant women, victims of domestic abuse, work status and veterans’ status. Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the sponsor of the amendment and Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport) who proposed the amendment did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them to explain why they voted the way they did. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment giving preference to length of residency. A “No” vote is against the amendment.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No CONDUCT SAFETY REVIEW (S 2708) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would require the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, in conjunction with the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, to conduct a safety review of current safety practices and implement recommendations to reduce the risk to human life and safety. “It is essential that state run emergency shelters and overflow sites maintain the highest standards of safety to protect the families in our care,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Michael Moore (D-Millbury). “I’m pleased the Senate unanimously adopted this amendment to require a clear and effective safety plan at these sites.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) CHARGING STATIONS IN CONDO PARKING SPACES (H 1303) – The House gave initial approval to a bill that would prevent condominium associations, neighborhood conservation districts and historic district commissions, from prohibiting or unreasonably restricting owners from installing EV charging equipment in or near an owner’s parking space. Restrictions that significantly increase the cost of the equipment, decrease its efficiency or effectively prohibit its installation would not be permitted. The bill would also require owners to pay the costs of installing and maintaining the charging equipment and for the costs of the electricity consumed during charging. “As the commonwealth moves away from gas powered vehicles, we are going to need increased access to electric vehicle charging stations,” said co-sponsor Rep. Michelle Ciccolo (D-Lexington). “With 40 percent of emissions coming out of our transportation systems, it is essential that we make operating an electric vehicle as seamless as owning a gas vehicle. For that reason, we can’t have local siting boards prioritize aesthetics over access to charging.” COVID-19 REMEMBRANCE DAY (H 2987) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would designate March 10th as COVID-19 Remembrance Day to honor all the people, especially older adults and people with disabilities, who died or were stricken with COVID-19. The measure also expresses appreciation of first responders, caregivers and researchers who cared for victims or developed treatments or vaccines in response to the virus. The measure would not take effect until March of 2025 since March 10th of this year has already passed. “I am very pleased to see action taken toward establishing COVID-19 Remembrance Day which would honor those who have been lost to or affected by COVID,” said co-sponsor Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “It also acknowledges the essential workers who helped us get through the hardest times and contributed to our commonwealth’s recovery.” “At the time of the pandemic, I was the House Chair of the Joint Committee on Elder Affairs, and had an upfront seat, in a sense, to the tragedy that was unfolding especially in our nursing homes, and to aging adults, generally,” said co-sponsor Rep. Ruth Balser (D-Newton). “ I feel it is important to remember those we lost and to honor those who helped keep us safe.” REQUIRE BANKS AND OTHER MORTGAGE LENDERS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (H 933) – The House gave initial approval to a proposal that would require banks and other mortgage lenders to provide additional information on a monthly basis to their borrowers including the balance of principal remaining; a confirmation of the most recent payment received; the balance of any escrow accounts; and a description of any payments from those escrow accounts. “The intent of this legislation is to provide mortgage customers with the tools they need to ensure knowledge of their financial situation,” said sponsor Rep. Bruce Ayers (D-Quincy). “This bill is an easy measure that we can take to help residents achieve greater financial stability and awareness.” MUST BE 21 TO ATTEND CANNABIS EVENT (H 112) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would prohibit anyone under age 21 from attending any marijuana-related event, forum, convention or conference to promote or encourage marijuana use or to educate users or prospective users on marijuana use. The measure exempts prevention programs for youth, youth educational programs or substance abuse programs related to marijuana use. Any event organizer who violates this law would be fined $2,000 but the fine would not be imposed if the organizer reasonably relied on IDs that turned out to be phony. “This [existing] loophole contradicts laws that prohibit cannabis consumption for people younger than 21,” said sponsor Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury). “Closing this loophole will provide clarity and prevent youths from attending cannabis-related events,” CHANGE LANGUAGE IN LAW THAT CREATED COUNCILS ON AGING (H 624) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would change some language in the 50-year-old law that created Councils on Aging in local cities and towns. Changes include deleting language that refers to “problems of the aging” and replacing it with “the needs of older adults;” deleting language that calls workers “clerks” and replacing it with language that calls workers “staff;” and adding “and delivering services” to the language in the bill which gives the council the authority to “carry out programs.” Supporters said the bill modernizes the language in a 50-year-old law that created Councils on Aging at a time when there were very few senior centers. They noted that the number of Councils on Aging and senior centers has grown to 350 and said the bill updates the statute to reflect the modern functioning of these critical centers. Sponsor Rep. Kate Donaghue (D-Westborough) said she is thrilled that the bill received initial approval. “I filed this bill because senior cenBHRC | SEE PAGE 25

FREE MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS (H 563) – The House gave initial approval to a proposal that would require all public schools, with grades 6-12 students, to maintain free menstrual products, including sanitary napkins and tampons in restrooms and to make them available in a “convenient manner that does not stigmatize any persons seeking the products.” “Requiring schools to provide free menstrual products will not only reduce distractions throughout the day but will also reduce embarrassment by guaranteeing that essential health items are readily available when needed,” said sponsor Rep. Jeff Roy (D-Franklin). “Such access ensures that students can attend classes and participate in extracurricular activities without interruption. Toilet paper and paper towels are available free of charge at high schools and middle schools and menstrual products are no less essential to a student’s wellbeing. No student should face any barrier, financial or otherwise, to accessing basic health essentials.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Things are different than they were the last time I was here. Last time I was here, we had money. I could be a hero.” ---House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) at the beginning of his speech to members of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. “Now, I understand that the idea of a transfer fee is a cause for concern for some of you, but if you believe that the issue of housing affordability is a genuine crisis, then we must explore all options that have the potential to make a real difference. I look forward to having continued conversations with members, and with the business community, on how we can bolster the development of more affordable housing, while ensuring that Massachusetts remains competitive.” ---House Speaker Mariano commenting on being open to a local-option real estate transfer tax to boost the affordable housing supply. “The speaker is the latest politician floating the idea of further tax hikes that will only exacerbate the problem it is trying to fix. If the speaker is concerned with the cost of housing, he should provide property tax relief. If the speaker wants to help make Massachusetts more economically competitive, he needs to change his mindset away from harmful tax hikes and spending sprees and look to what the top two destinations for people leaving Massachusetts—Florida and New Hampshire—are doing, namely cutting taxes to attract taxpayers.” ---Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, on Mariano’s openness to a local-option real estate transfer tax. “It is my great pleasure to donate these men’s and women’s suits and dress clothes on behalf of the residents of Norfolk County. I hope that by partnering with the Office of Youth Employment and Opportunity, we can help to eliminate some of the barriers for young job seekers, empowering them to present themselves confidently in interviews.” ---Norfolk County Register of Deeds William O’Donnell announcing the success of an initiative to help individuals just starting out on the road to finding a job, noting the high price of a suit can be an insurmountable obstacle, and it can represent a missed opportunity. “While alarming, today’s warning issued by the Department of Public Health is not a surprise. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have already contaminated public water systems in 96 cities and towns in Massachusetts. These chemicals are incredibly harmful, increasing the risk of cancers, liver disease and more.” ---Deirdre Cummings, MASSPIRG’s Legislative Director, reacting to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health advisory urging consumers not to consume Simpson Spring products until further notice, after PFAS contamination exceeding drinking water standards was found in water bottled distributed by the company. 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 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.
