Of that, $130,707,416 is the Operating Budget and $4,600,000 is for Special Education Transportation. The overall total is a 5.21% increase over FY 2024’s $128,612,364. The Operating Budget is rising 5.4%, or $6,699,514, over $124,007,902 in FY 2024, while the SPED Transportation Budget is falling .10%, or $4,462, from $4,604,462 in FY 2024. In the new budget Chapter 70 education aid is rising $6,187,378, or 5.54%, from $111,682,212 to $117,869,590, leaving $43,738,229 as the Required Local Contribution, a 6.78% increase over $40,961,068 in FY 2024. This is offset by a $4,114,162, or 14.37%, increase in chargebacks to City Hall for administrative and retirement expenses, among others things, from $28,635,378 to $32,749,540, plus a new Additional City Appropriation of $1,849,137. Part of the increase is a result of annual salary and cost of living adjustments for employees, increased costs for utilities and retaining 35 positions formerly funded by Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds allocated during and after the pandemic. As a result, the FY 2025 budget can be characterized as providing at least “level service.” A stabilizing factor is a small increase in the number of students from 7,345 to 7,358.

A 5.21% increase is not unusual. Wakefi eld’s is going up 5.5%. “I am totally satisfied with how the EPS budget office approached this budget cycle,” School Committee Chairperson and Ward 3 Member Jeanne Cristiano said. “The Superintendent and his team have developed a plan that allows us to build on important social-emotional initiatives, expand and enhance instructional supports, and boost student achievement. Most of all, I appreciate the fact that our budget was signifi cantly shaped by collaborative and in-depth conversations with administrators and building leaders from throughout the district. The priorities of this budget refl ect the priorities of our schools.” Chapter 70 funds, outside those raised locally, include $1.9 million from the Student Opportunity Act Plan (SOA) enacted in 2019 to provide funds for students with the greatest needs. “The SOA Plan addresses a subset of a district’s overall initiatives focusing on evidence-based programs and strategies that will improve the educational experiences and outcomes of students, including English Learners, students with disabilities and low-income students,” a memo for the School Committee prepared by Superintendent William Hart reads. “At the heart of the SOA plan is the selection of Evidence-Based Programs we will use to drive improvements for selected student groups. This year, EBPs are aligned with DESE’s [Mass. Dept. of Elementary & Secondary Education] new Educational Vision and Strategic Objectives, along with the recommended menu of metrics we can choose to include in their plans. This year’s guidance establishes an improvement target for districts to include in their SOA plans that focus on the lowest performing student group, along with the option to establish additional targets to support individual student groups as needed based on data analysis. “To that end, our SOA Plan will spotlight critical, actionable evidence-based programs and strategies that are focused on rapidly improving outcomes for students with low academic performance whether we are enhancing ongoing eff orts or introducing new initiatives.” Over the course of three years, SOA funds will total $5.7 million. “The district was given guidance from DESE as to which student group should be most impacted by the SOA Plans,” Director of Instruction Anne Auger elaborated for the School Committee at their meeting Monday, March 18. “Based on those guidelines and the district’s academic outcome data, we’ll address English as a Learned Language in Grades K-8. Our plan seeks to invest in fi lling three evidence-based priorities: a comprehensive approach to early literacy, early literacy screening and support and targeted academic support and acceleration.” “Are these students struggling with food insecurity, shelter insecurity or, possibly, mental health issues?” Ward 2 School Committee Member Joanna Garren asked. “I didn’t see any information about root causes for disparate outcomes or basic needs.” “DESE asks us to look at data within our control, like instructional programs,” Auger answered. “They send us a heat map with a lot of data, and it behooves us to pick data from that as to why we’re going to pursue certain initiatives.” The CoderZ Knowledge Base website defines Heat Maps, which are more like tables or spread sheets than geographBUDGET | SEE PAGE 5

They practice fi rst under non-fi re conditions and then during controlled fire conditions. To graduate, students must demonstrate profi ciency in life safety, search and rescue, ladder operations, water supply, pump operation and fire attack. Fire attack operations range from mailbox fi res to multiple-floor or multiple-room structural fires. Upon successful completion of the Career Recruit Program, all students have met the national standards of NFPA 1001, Standard for Fire Fighter Professional Qualifi cations, and are certifi ed to the levels of Firefighter I/II and Hazardous Materials First Responder Operations by the Massachusetts Fire Training Council, which is accredited by the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifi - cations. Today’s firefighters do much more than fight fires Modern firefighters train for and respond to all types of hazards and emergencies. They are the first ones called to respond to chemical and environmental emergencies, ranging from the suspected presence of carbon monoxide to gas leaks to industrial chemical spills. They might be called to rescue a child who has fallen through the ice, an office worker stuck in an elevator or a motorist trapped in a crashed vehicle. They test and maintain their equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), hydrants, hoses, power tools, and apparatus. At the MFA, recruits learn all these skills and more, including the latest science of fire behavior and suppression tactics, from certified fire instructors. They also receive training in public fire education, hazardous material incident mitigation, flammable liquids, stress management and self-rescue techniques. The intensive, 10-week program involves classroom instruction, physical fitness training, firefighter skills training and live firefighting practice. The MFA provides recruit and in-service training for career, call, and volunteer firefighters at every level of experience, from recruit to chief officer, at campuses in Stow, Springfield and Bridgewater.

According to the affidavit, Cornelio’s attorney has stated that over the course of the last 18 months, Cornelio and his counsel have “consistently and frequently communicated regarding issues relating to this litigation, other litigation and legal matters relating to his employment with the City of Everett and his dispute with Mayor Carlo DeMaria and others.” But according to the attorney, Cornelio has broken off communication and payment of legal fees. “It has become apparent to me that the attorney-client relationship has broken down,” stated Tocci, in the affidavit. “I do not feel that my client and I can effectively communicate regarding the course of this litigation.” The affadavit continued, stating that Cornelio has indicated to him that he “will not pay legal fees for services rendered to date or to be rendered in the future.” Tocci added that his firm cannot continue representing Cornelio under “these difficult circumstances” and without remuneration of services, including unreimbursed expenses that will present both “an unreasonable emotional burden on at 11:30 a.m. “Countless people across Massachusetts go hungry every day, but we have the resources to address hunger in a significant way – we just need to generate the political power to do it,” said DiDomenico, who is Assistant Majority Leader of the Massachusetts Senate. “I am proud to advocate for more SNAP funding, expandmyself and the other attorneys involved and an unreasonable financial burden on the firm.” Atty. Tocci added that since his firm has provided reasonable notice to Cornelio’s failure to abide by his obligations that the firm should be allowed to withdraw as his legal representation. “Cornelio has not acted on these notices, and has indicated that he intends to retain new counsel,” stated the affidavit.

Cornelio also admitted in his Cornelio, who brought Atty. Tocci to the city council meetings in July 2022 while under serious scrutiny by some city council members who cited Cornelio’s attempts to obtain paternity leave through the state legislature and the city council, but was stopped during both attempts. In a March council Ways & Means subcommittee meeting, one city councillor questioned Cornelio’s $70,000 vacation payout. Prior to his appointment as city clerk, Cornelio was working as a delivery driver for a local sandwich shop and had also served one term as city councillor. Many political insiders found it strange that he brought an attorney to his city clerk reappointment meeting with the city council – as if he were a defendant. But given his lifelong family background in the city, it carried him through to be reappointed to another term. But his relationship with the corrupt reporter, Joshua Resnek and Leader-Herald owner Matthew Philbin, both codefendants in the mayor’s defamation lawsuit, cast a shadow on his reputation. Cornelio had participated in two depositions, denying that he made any accusations against the mayor pertaining to their mutual real estate deal and that Resnek told him that he was going to write the sworn testimony to meeting with Philbin and a former Boston Globe reporter Andrea Estes, along with his parents, at a restaurant during the election year after Resnek wrote and published his stories about the real estate deal. Possible new legal representation has been speculated for Cornelio. One possibility is Atty. Joseph Marchese, brother of city councillor Michael Marchese, who sold his 85 Elsie St. home to Cornelio’s wife, a Somerville police detective – in the summer of 2021 – during the contentious election year. Cornelio admitted during his deposition that he did not disclose to the state Ethics Commission, as Chairman of the City of Everett’s Election Commission and City Clerk, that he purchased a home from a city councillor who was also a candidate for reelection. Cornelio also admitted in his deposition that about the time Michael Marchese approached him about buying his property – he was recommended by Marchese to talk to his attorney brother about his Corey St. real estate deal with the mayor. It was in September 2021 – just a month or two after his wife purchased Marchese’s property and meeting with his attorney brother when the inflammatory stories about the mayor started appearing in the Everett Leader-Herald. Cornelio admitted that Michael Marchese approached him about speaking to his brother if he wanted to take legal action against the mayor. In the Leader-Herald articles, Resnek wrote that Cornelio told him that the mayor had extorted him of $96,000 for the sale of property located on Corey St., and that DeMaria never had any participation in the sale or ownership of the property. Through sworn testimony from multiple depositions with Resnek, it was discovered that the mayor was a legitimate partner in the land deal with Cornelio and that all the accusations and quotations attributed to Cornelio were fabricated and facts about the land deal were admitted by Resnek to be false. The Marchese brothers, once fervent supporters of the mayor, have been openly critical of DeMaria for allegedly not supporting Joseph Marchese’s business ventures in the city and may have been upset with the mayor after police raided in 2003, McDonald’s Café on Ferry St., which is owned by Michael Marchese, who was then an alderman, following multiple arrests for drug dealing, arresting eight suspects. The bar was ordered closed by the state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission. The brothers also supported his political opponents including Frederick Capone who lost to the mayor in the 2021 election with political advertisements in the Everett Leader-Herald. Cornelio did not respond to an email seeking comment by press time.

Together, they welcomed 28 players to the first day of practice on March 18, many of whom are playing the sport for the first time. The roster consists of eight seniors, nine juniors, 10 sophomores and one freshman, and 13 of them are returning from last year’s team. “Many of these girls are (multi-sport) athletes, who also play volleyball or field hockey,” said McNiff. “I’m excited about the athleticism of our team, plus their energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the sport. They’ve been working hard in practice in the rain, cold and wind.” The returning seniors – Yasmin Linhares, Natalia Ruiz, Khadija Ailane, Katherine Olivares Guzman and Brigitte Reyes-Cortez – will be rotating the captains’ responsibilities, and the team’s goals this season will continue to build on the foundations of the game, while growing the players’ confidence in order to increase their competitiveness.

He’s Malik Love, and he enjoyed much success as a multi-sport athlete (baseball, football, basketball) at Alcoa High School in Alcoa, Tenn. He was on its varsity baseball team for three years, starting when he was a sophomore. During that sophomore campaign, he batted over .400. The team that year went to the regionals, where they lost in the finals to Pigeon Forge High School in Sevier County. Pigeon County’s star pitcher Wil Crowe, who was drafted by the Washington Nationals in the 2017 MLB (Major League Baseball) Draft when he was a senior at the University of South Carolina, was on the mound that day. Crowe made his big-league debut with Washington in 2020. He pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates the last three years. He’s now playing in Japan. Love, who captained the baseball team in his senior year, also played AAU baseball in Knoxville, before headhe 2024 Everett High School Crimson Tide Varsity Girls’ Lacrosse Team introduced themselves as they opened their season. Love era makes successful debut on the baseball diamond with mercy rule win over Chelsea Everett is scheduled to host non-league lowell at Glendale Friday afternoon ing to the University of New Hampshire, where he was a wide receiver on its football team. He graduated from there with a bachelor’s degree in recreational management and policy in 2019. He then attended Stony Brook University on Long Island in New York to earn his master’s degree in Liberal Arts with a focus on coaching. He turned pro in Mexico’s Liga de Futbol Americano for Monterrey, where he secured a spot on its roster after going through practice sessions for eight weeks. He played just one game, but it was a memorable one with 10 receptions and one touchdown. He then had tryouts with Edmonton and British Columbia in the Canadian Football League, before giving up his pro dreams and moving to the Boston area. He was a wide receivers coach this past fall on coach Justin Flores’ EHS staff after serving as the JV coach on coach Joel Levine’s staff last spring. When Levine decided to step down for family reasons, the Everett High teacher got the promotion to the varsity.

But this is a new year, and Love made a successful debut as the Tide’s varsity coach after his squad came alive late to beat Chelsea in a five-inning mercy rule game at Glendale Park Tuesday afternoon, 14-4. Junior Isaiah Goffigan pitched the first three innings. Reinaldo Santiago then threw the final two frames to earn the win. The Tide scored a combined total of 12 runs in the fourth and fifth innings to break open a close game. Freshman Armani Negron helped pace the attack with a double against the Red Devils. His classmate Derek Soper, who is one of the team’s captains, was credited with a triple. Senior Justin Longmore is the other captain this spring. Alex Lara, Nordeivy Santana, Albert Santana, Santiago and Longmore are the returning varsity veterans. “We’ll have a very competitive, hard working group this year,” promises Love. Weather permitting, the Tide is scheduled to host nonleague Lowell later today (April 5) at Glendale Park, starting at 4:15 p.m. Lynn Classical comes to town Tuesday to face the Everett boys at 4 p.m. Lynn English follows them to Glendale the next day at the same time.

There were no roll calls in the House last week. DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES (S 2713) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that would make some changes in the current state laws about debt collection practices. The measure includes reducing from 12 percent to 3 percent the maximum interest rate that can be charged for judgments on consumer debt; increasing from $750 per week to $975 per week the amount of a person’s wages that is protected from garnishment because of a debt; reducing from six years to five years, the time in which a company can bring suit to collect a consumer debt; and ensuring that no one is imprisoned for failure to pay a consumer debt. “In Massachusetts, no family should have to choose between putting food on the table or making a minimum payment on a ballooning debt,” said Sen. Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough), Senate Chair of the Committee on Financial Services. “Debt collection practices can, at times, be predatory, unlawful and designed to squeeze every dime out of middle-class and low-income families, especially CITY OF EVERETT - LEGAL NOTICE - ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS 484 BROADWAY, ROOM 24 EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS 02149 To Whom It May Concern: This notice is to inform you that a public hearing will be held on Tuesday April 22, 2024 at 6:00 PM, Everett City Hall, 3rd Floor George Keverian Hearing Room.

Whereas a petition has been presented by: Property Address: Map/Parcel: 141 Garland St. M0-06-000135 Person Requesting: Realty Trust /Hector Angel 45 High St. Everett, MA 02149 PROPOSAL: The applicant seeks to add 1 (one) unit in the basement and 1 (one) unit in the third floor to a current 2 (two) family home to increase the total amount of units to 4 (four). The property of 141 Garland St is a 10,000 S.F. lot according to Medford Engineering and Survey. The plans provided by David Choi, a Massachusetts registered architect, state that the gross floor area is 4,270 S.F. The plans indicate that eight (8) parking spaces will be provided. Reason for Denial: 1. Section 4.A.1 of the Zoning Ordinance limits conversions of buildings that predate zoning in the city to no more than three dwelling units. A variance is required. 2. The structure is lawfully nonconforming as to the rear setback of 25 feet required pursuant to Section 4.B.7.a of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed alteration and change of use require a special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals, pursuant to Section 3.F of the Zoning Ordinance. 3. The proposal does not satisfy the parking design requirements of Section 17 of the Ordinance. Specifically, a. The plans indicate that the eight parking spaces provided will consist of four sets of tandem spaces. Tandem parking is prohibited pursuant to Section 17.J. A variance is required. b. The plans submitted do not indicate how the screening requirements of Section 17.L will be satisfied. The Applicant should submit a landscaping and fencing plan. c. Section 17.M prohibits parking spaces within eight feet of a window to a habitable room.

The [legislation] will not eliminate debt or an obligation to pay, but it will add needed guardrails to protect hard-working families from financial ruin, give a lifeline to those caught in a debt spiral and help deliver hope to those in a vicious cycle.” “This bill aims to implement stricter regulations on debt collectors in order to prevent financial mistreatment of Massachusetts residents,” said chief sponsor Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Marlborough). “It seeks to safeguard consumers’ economic security during debt repayment, prohibit excessively high interest rates and eliminate the possibility of consumers being sent to ‘debtor’s prison’ when facing legal action.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes SAFETY FOR FIREFIGHTERS (S 2712) Senate 40-0, approved and sent to the House legislation that would create a public database of violations of the state’s fire prevention laws and a public notification system to alert workers of violations. The measure is designed to boost safety for firefighters and people conducting “hot work” including welding, plasma cutting and spark-producing construction. The proposed law has been ten years in the making and was first prompted by the March 2014 deaths of firefighters Edward Walsh and Michael Kennedy who perished while fighting a fire that was caused by welders, working without a city permit, on a building next door to the brownstone in which they died. “This legislation represents historic regulatory reforms that the Walsh-Kennedy Commission helped institute across the hot works and welding industry in Massachusetts,” said chief sponsor Sen. Nick Collins (D-Boston). “Passing this legislation will ensure that the critical reforms, training, oversight and accountability needed to prevent tragedies like the Back Bay fire, will be the law of the land. We do this in honor of Boston Fire Lieutenant Edward Walsh and Firefighter Michael Kennedy so that their sacrifices are not in vain.” “The heartbreaking loss of life in the 2014 Back Bay fire is a constant reminder of the importance of firefighter safety,” said Sen. Walter Timilty (D-Milton), Senate Chair of the Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security. “I am honored to have shepherded this crucial bill through the committee. Today, the Senate’s action represents an important step forward in ensuring that our remarkable firefighters have the resources that they need to keep themselves safe and protect our communities.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Other provisions require the referee’s parents or guardians to provide the employer with a written consent form; require the employer to provide the parent or guardian with written policies describing the responsibilities of a referee and provide the minor with training; and mandating that an adult representing the employer is on the premise during the match. “This legislation would benefit both the youths in question and their communities as these programs are extended,” said co-sponsor Rep. Kathy LaNatra (D-Kingston). ALLOW SOME 17-YEAR OLDS TO VOTE IN PRIMARIES (H 705) – Would allow voters who will turn 18 and be eligible to vote in a November general election to also vote in the preceding primary election even though they will only be 17 at the time of the primary election.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 5, 2024 Page 19 Sa nir Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller Recommended Vaccines for Medicare Recipients Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I recently turned 65 and would like to find out which vaccines are recommended and covered by Medicare? New Benefi ciaries Dear New, All recommended vaccines for adults, age 65 and older, should be covered by either Medicare Part B or Part D, but there are some coverage challenges you should be aware of. Here’s a rundown of which vaccines are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and how Medicare covers them. Covid-19: Even though Covid-19 is no longer a public health emergency, it can still cause severe illness, particularly in older adults. Because the Covid virus continues to mutate, new vaccines are being developed to keep pace, so the CDC recommends that all seniors stay up to date with the latest Covid vaccines, including booster shots. All Covid-19 shots are covered 100 percent by Medicare Part B. Flu: Considered an annual vaccination, most people of all ages receive fl u shots in the fall when fl u season begins. The CDC recommends seniors, 65 and older get a high-dose fl u shot for extra protection beyond what a standard fl u shot off ers. The Fluzone High Dose Quadrivalent, FLUAD Quadrivalent and FluBlok Quadrivalent are your three options. Annual fl u shots are covered under Medicare Part B. Pneumonia: These vaccines help protect against pneumococcal disease, which can cause pneumonia, meningitis and other infections. The CDC recommends everyone 65 and older get a pneumococcal vaccine. There are several diff erent vaccine options available, so talk to your doctor or pharmacists to fi nd out which is best for you or visit the CDC’s Pneumococcal Vaccination webpage at CDC.gov/ vaccines/vpd/pneumo/public/ index.html. Medicare Part B covers both single dose and two-dose pneumococcal shots once in your lifetime. Shingles: Caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox, shingles is a painful, blistering skin rash that affects more than 1 million Americans every year. All people over age 50 are recommended to get the twodose Shingrix vaccine, which is given two to six months apart, even if you previously received Zostavax. In 2020, Shingrix replaced Zostavax, which is no longer available in the U.S. All Medicare Part D prescription drug plans cover shingles vaccinations, but coverage amounts, and reimbursement rules vary depending on where the shot is given. Check your plan. Tdap: Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) are diseases caused by bacteria that can lead to serious illness and death. Therefore, a one-time dose of the Tdap vaccine is recommended to all adults. If you’ve already had a Tdap shot, you should get a tetanus-diphtheria (Td) booster shot every 10 years. All Medicare Part D plans cover these vaccinations. RSV: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can lead to pneumonia or bronchiolitis and can worsen other chronic conditions common among older adults, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The CDC recommends all adults, age 60 and older, talk to their doctor about getting one of the RSV vaccines (either Arexvy or Abrysvo), usually in the fall and winter months when the virus is most prevalent. Most Medicare Part D plans cover the RSV vaccine, but not all. If your plan doesn’t cover it, you can ask for a coverage exception. You can also pay for the shot out of pocket and then follow-up with your plan to get reimbursed. If you pay for the shot upfront, your plan must pay you back. Other Vaccinations There are other vaccines you may need depending on your health, lifestyle or travel plans. To help you get a handle on which ones are appropriate for you, take the CDC’s What Vaccines Do You Need? quiz at www2.cdc.gov/nip/ adultimmsched. Also, talk to your doctor during your next visit about what vaccinations you should get. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

Joan Meschino (D-Hull) first sponsored the bill in 2020 at the request of then-16-year-old Hingham High School student Samantha Bevins, now a 21-yearold junior at Dartmouth College studying Government and Public Policy, who wanted this group to be allowed to vote in the Bay State’s March 2020 presidential primary. Bevins said she is thrilled to learn that the bill received initial approval. “I proposed this legislation … when I was 16 because I wanted first-time voters in the commonwealth to have the same rights as my peers in 27 other states and Washington, D.C.,” said Bevins. “It is crucial that young people have the opportunity to fully participate in their first election cycle by having a say in the primaries on candidates who will ultimately be on the ballot in the general election. I am hopeful our bill will [receive further approval] soon in order to fully enfranchise first-time voters before the next Massachusetts state primaries.” “This legislation promotes a model of civic engagement and full enfranchisement that is critical to foster among our young people, who are the future of this country,” said Meschino. “Hingham resident Samantha Bevins and her peers’ continued engagement in the advocacy process during consecutive legislative sessions demonstrates that these young adults are fully equipped and ready for the opportunity to fully engage in the election process, and I commend them for their groundbreaking efforts.” ”[The bill] will lead to increased voter turnout that transcends party lines and further engages the youngest voters,” said co-sponsor Rep. Jack Lewis (D-Framingham). “This furthers our civic engagement goals and aligns the commonwealth with 27 other states including Mississippi, Wyoming, West Virginia and Maine.” AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE (H 466) – Would require that American Sign Language (ASL) be taught in all Bay State public elementary and secondary schools to increase interactions between hearing persons and deaf and hard-of-hearing persons, as well as children with autism. Current law allows but does not require schools to teach ASL. “Every student deserves access to diverse linguistic opportunities,” said sponsor Rep. Carol Doherty (D-Taunton). “By requiring that ASL courses be offered for credit alongside traditional world languages in Massachusetts public schools, we’re not only fostering inclusivity for the deaf and hard-of-hearing comYour Hometown News Delivered!

PO Box 490407, Everett, MA 02149 munity but also enriching our educational landscape with a vibrant and vital language.” SUICIDE PREVENTION HOTLINE ON STUDENT IDS (H 1999) – Would require all public schools with grades 6 to 12, and all public and private colleges to include on their student identification cards the telephone and text number for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. The bill includes a provision that allows any schools and colleges which have a supply of old ID cards without the 988 line to continue to distribute those IDS until the supply is gone. Supporters said that while suicide is a leading cause of death for people of all ages in the United States, young people are particularly at risk. They noted that according to a study published by the National Center for Health Statistics at the end of last year, suicide was the second leading cause of death for Americans aged 15-24, representing a 56 percent increase in the previous decade. They argued that there are significant disparities in these numbers, with LGBTQ+ youth being at greater risk, and Black youth seeing a 73 percent increase in youth suicide rates in that same time period. “It can be difficult for someone to reach out for help even in the best of times and it is essential that we seize every opportunity to provide the necessary resources for our children,” said co-sponsor Rep. Jack Lewis (D-Framingham). “[The bill] is a vital step in connecting those in their most vulnerable years with the lifesaving help and assistance they need and put the commonwealth in line with the 19 states including Arkansas, Louisiana and New York who have passed similar legislation.” “This legislation is one simple way we can make sure our students have the resources they need to help themselves and their friends in a time of crisis,” said co-sponsor Rep. Natalie Higgins (D-Leominster). “The 988 Helpline is a critical support for our community, and ensuring all of our youth learn about it will help all future generations get the mental health support they need when they need it most.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “It might be a gray, rainy week, but progress on updating the state’s Bottle Bill is a ray of sunshine for everyone who wants to reduce litter and waste.” --- Janet Domenitz, Executive Director of MASSPIRG on the reporting out of committee a bill that would increase the deposit from 5 cents to 10 cents and expand it to include water bottles, vitamin drinks and other beverages that were not on the market when the Bottle Bill first passed in 1982. “Because Massachusetts has entered a new era with sports betting now literally available at your fingertips, it is critical that we raise awareness of the public health risks associated with this activity, particularly for young people. This coalition brings together the business, professional sports, nonprofit and responsible gaming communities to best achieve one common goal: better protect and educate young adults across the commonwealth.” ---Attorney General Andrea Campbell on formation of a new public-private partnership, the Youth Sports Betting Safety Coalition, to raise awareness of the laws, risks and public health harms associated with sports betting and gambling among young people. “Expanding low-income fares will help to ensure that our transportation system is more equitable and more affordable, which supports the mission to give everyone greater access to mobility options, especially community members depending on transit.” ---Transportation Secretary and CEO Monica Tibbits-Nutt commenting on the MBTA board vote to approve a reduced fare program for low-income riders across most services. “Park Serve Day exemplifies the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s goals of promoting stewardship and conservation of our state’s green and open spaces. Encouraging the public to take an active role in protecting our environment is one way that we can foster the next generation of environmentalists who will take up the mantle of protecting these important natural resources.” ---Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper announcing that registration is now open for the Department of Conservation and Recreation’s 18th annual Park Serve Day on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at which volunteers help clean coastlines, clear trails, pick up litter, plant flowers or take part in other restorative projects More information at mass. gov/info-details/dcr-parkserve-day 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 immediBHRC | SEE PAGE 23
