Special to Th e Advocate he City of Everett recently partnered with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) for a tree planting project. To kick off the planting season, this project added 70 trees to open spaces at Everett Housing Authority properties. DCR staff, along with T the City of Everett’s Tree Warden, Jacob St. Louis, planted trees to eventually provide natural shade and environmental benefits in the urban community of Everett. As urban tree canopies continue to decline due to environmental and urban pressures, this project will bring numerous benefits to residents. Some of the benefi ts these newly planted trees will provide are cooling neighborhoods, shading homes, saving money on air conditioning during the summer, decreasing storm water fl ooding and helping remove carbon dioxide and other fine particulates that are caused by pollution from the air. Planting these new trees now will eventually lead to a more environmentally safer, cleaner and cooler city.

Three will have rents set at 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI) and four at 80% of the AMI. “Deeply aff ordable housing is important to a number of people in the city and near and dear to some Councillors,” Brown said. How “aff ordable” aff ordable housing units will be is still an open question. Everett is in an AMI cohort that includes similar communities like Malden and Medford, but dissimilar ones like Lexington, Newton, North Reading and Winchester. The income levels in those affluent communities skew aff ordability under the AMI above the means of many Everett residents. “Inclusionary housing is huge for me, but your inclusionary housing is for veterans,” Councillor-at-Large Stephanie Smith reacted. “This is the right thing to do for the city, but I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do now.” Ward 4 Councillor Holly Garcia asked if the project might be downsized given constituent concern about traffi c related to overdevelopment. “It wouldn’t be by us,” Brown answered. “I know the size scares some people, but this clicks off everything the City Council wants to do,” Ward 3 Councillor Anthony DiPierro off ered, referring to aff ordable housing and jobs. “I like the concept,” Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Matewsky added. “It’s the fi rst project I know of that will have 100% percent union jobs.” “We’re all for union jobs, but we want to make sure this is the right project for the city – to make sure it works for the people and our infrastructure can handle this project,” Councillor-at-Large Guerline Alcy Jabouin said. Other business In Public Participation former Ward 6 Councillor Alfred Lattanzi spoke in favor of the project. A special meeting might also include discussion of recommendations of the Charter Review Committee. The members also passed a resolution “regulating the demolition of historic structures in Everett,” an item previously discussed at a Legislative Aff airs and Elections Subcommittee meeting on February 24. “This is intended to protect older structures,” Van Campen said on April 28. “Buildings 80 or more years old will be technically considered historic and a process must be followed by the Building Department and Historical Commission to make a determination if a demolition permit should be issued. It doesn’t pause development; it slows it down. The ultimate goal is to have developers consider other alternatives for a better project.” MOUNTAIN VIEW TERRACE APARTMENTS 27 Mountain View Drive Stoneham, MA 02180 781-438-9111 (Phone) 800-439-2370 or 711 (TTY) 781-438-6271 (Fax) infomvt@atlantictambone.com Effective May 1, 2025 the following waiting lists will open for 60-days.

The Orsogna Women’s Club was founded on March 5, 1950, by 34 women, all born in Orsogna (a little town in the Abruzzo region of Italy) or married to Orsognese men. Their goal was to keep contact with the hometown, help each other adapt to the United States, and teach their customs to future generations. All the presidents, since 1950, have adhered to these goals. Trips have been organized in the United States as well as abroad – countless dinner dances, health-focused programs, educational programs, seminars, etc. The Club has always been present in helping the less fortunate: Rosie’s Place for homeless and battered women, the Italian Children’s Home of Jamaica Plain, the Don Orione Nursing Home in E.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 2, 2025 Page 13 Tide softball secures win against Revere, before getting shutdown by visiting Medford After beating Malden on Monday, Everett closed out this week By Joe McConnell I at Chelsea Wednesday with three more road games on tap next week The home team Patriots got t was another week of mixed results for the Everett High School softball team (7-1 in the GBL, and 9-2 overall). The Crimson Tide girls first defeated host Revere on Patriots Day, 10-4, before getting shutout by Medford at home on April 23, 12-0. Peyton Warren went the distance in the circle against Revere, pitching all seven innings. Warren gave up eight hits, one walk and two earned runs, while fanning seven. The Tide put up six runs right away in the top of the first. Arianna Osorio-Bonilla doubled to leadoff the game, and Olivia Dresser immediately singled her home. Ashley Seward followed with another single, setting the stage for Alexa Uga, who doubled in the second run of the game. Mia Allen maintained the trend with another run-producing double. Graziella Foster followed that same script, and as a result doubled in both Uga and Allen. Jayla Davila closed out the scoring in the inning with, what else but a double that drove in Foster. two back in the home half of the first. They then trimmed the deficit to two with a couple of more runs in the third. But Everett got two of them back in the fourth to lead by four, 8-4. Uga started the rally with a single. Allen followed with another hit to the outfield. A short time later, they both came home on a hit by Graziella. The visitors tacked on another run in the fifth, when Warren doubled, before coming around to score on an error and a passed ball.They scored the final run of the game in the sixth. Seward got it going on a throwing error by the third baseman, and eventually scored on a fielder’s choice. “This was a complete team win from Arianna (Osorio-Bonilla} setting the tone with that leadoff double to Peyton (Warren) battling through seven innings. Everyone stepped up,” said coach Stacy Schiavo. “We had big hits early on from Olivia (Dresser), Alexa (Uga), Mia (Allen), Graziella (Foster) and Jayla (Davila). They all came through Soper and his fellow young Tide baseball teammates come of age after dropping close decision to Malden Everett heads to Charlestown later today (May 2) to go up against the non-league Townies By Joe McConnell T he Everett High School baseball team (6-5) lost to the 11-1 Malden Golden Tornadoes Monday afternoon (April 28) at Glendale Park, 3-2, but, despite this heartbreaker, its young stars might be coming of age as they are starting to establish for themselves a sense of belonging on the varsity level. And second-year head coach Malik Love could not be any happier. “This was a great game,” said Love. “We had some opportunities to win it, including loading the bases with one out in the seventh inning.” Malden was able to wiggle out of that jam with a strikeout and a popup to secure the close win. Everett sophomore pitcher Derek Soper went the distance on the mound, giving up eight hits, two walks and only two earned runs over seven innings. He was also credited with eight strikeouts. “This was one of our best games this year,” said Love. “Malden made us play defense, and even though we made a couBASEBALL | SEE PAGE 14 Proposal: The applicant seeks to convert the existing 2 family residence into a 3-family residence in a dwelling district.

We also tightened up our defense as the game went on, making smart plays, while staying composed.” But the home game against the Mustangs was a completely different story. Warren pitched seven more innings, yielding 11 hits, three walks and nine earned runs. She whiffed one. The Mustangs scored one in the first and two more in the third, but broke the game wide open with another six in the fourth to take a 9-0 lead. They closed out the offense with three in the fifth to account for the 12-0 final score. “It was a tough one (against Medford),” said Schiavo. “Peyton (Warren) gave us everything she had out there with Kassidy Rivera behind the plate, but we didn’t do enough behind her to back her up. We made some mistakes that cost us on defense, and against a team like Medford you just can’t afford to give away extra outs. Offensively, we had runners on, but couldn’t produce many hits. That’s something that we’ll focus on to get better in from this point on.” The Tide only had four hits in the Medford game, and they were all singles by Rivera, Uga, Seward and Warren. But the offense really got going on Monday afternoon, April 28, when the Everett girls were all over their Malden counterparts to the tune of 32-2 at Malden’s Callahan Park. They then closed out this week against host Chelsea on Wednesday after press deadline, and will remain on the road next week with two games at Lynn’s Breed Field against Lynn Classical (May 5, 4:15 p.m.) and Lynn English (May 7, 5:30 p.m.), before wrapping it up versus nonleague Lowell at Lowell’s Martin Field on May 8, starting at 5 p.m. Their next home game at Glendale Park will be against Somerville on Monday, May 12, at 4 p.m. CITY OF EVERETT - LEGAL NOTICE - 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 Monday May 19, 2025 at 6:00 PM, Everett City Hall, 3rd Floor George Keverian Hearing Room.

The other one was against Lynn Classical on April 8, 1-0. They will get another chance to redeem themselves against these same opponents sooner rather than later. The revenge tour actually begins next week on Monday, May 5, against the Rams at Glendale Park. They will then close out the week on Friday at Malden. Both games are slated to begin at 4 p.m. “We know we have to make adjustments, because these teams are beatable,” said Love. “Our overall pitching has been great, especially Soper, who’s now 2-2, and both losses were against Lynn Classical and Malden that could have gone either way.

What can I personally do to help protect myself from this identity theft mess? Worried Senior Dear Worried, It’s a great question! I’ve been hearing from many older readers around the country that are deeply troubled by the news that the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Effi ciency (DOGE) has been granted access to millions of Americans’ Social Security records that include highly sensitive personal information. The major concern among data privacy experts is what could happen if your Social Security number, bank account information or tax records somehow gets leaked or breeched in all the data shuffl ing. If your information gets in the wrong hands it could lead to identity theft, which means scammers could use your personal information to open credit card accounts, bank accounts, telephone service accounts, and make major purchases – all in your name. If you’re concerned about the privacy of your personal information, the best way to protect yourself is to put a “fraud alert,” or better yet a “credit freeze” on your credit fi le. A fraud alert is a notification placed on your credit report that signals to potential creditors to take extra steps to verify your identity before extending credit in your name. While a credit freeze completely restricts access to your credit report, essentially preventing anyone from opening new accounts in your name without your explicit authorization. A credit freeze provides much stronger protection than a fraud alert, but there is a drawback. When you freeze your credit, you won’t be able to open new credit cards or get a new loan while the freeze in place. It does not, however, prevent you from using the credit cards you already have open. If you do need to get a new credit card or some type of loan, you can always lift the freeze on your account until you get the card or loan approved, and then refreeze it. You’ll also be happy to know that a credit freeze is completely free to put in place and lift, as are fraud alerts. And neither action will aff ect your credit score. Fraud Alert Set-Up To set up a fraud alert, you’ll need to contact one of the three major credit reporting bureaus – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion – either by phone, online or by mail. You only need to contact one of these agencies, and they will notify the other two. Here’s the phone and website contact information for each of the three bureaus. Equifax: 800-685-1111 or Equifax.com/personal/credit-report-services Experian: 888-397-3742 or Experian.com/help TransUnion: 888-909-8872 or TransUnion.com/credit-help If you haven’t been a victim of identity theft, you’ll need to set up an “initial fraud alert,” which lasts for one year, although you can renew it for additional oneyear periods. Credit Freeze Set-Up To set up a credit freeze you’ll need to contact each of the three previously listed credit reporting bureaus – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. A credit freeze lasts until you unfreeze it. But remember, before you apply for new credit card or loan, you’ll need to temporarily lift the security freeze by following the procedures from each of the credit reporting bureaus where you placed the freeze. If, however, you don’t want to set up a fraud alert or credit freeze, you can still keep an eye on your credit file by reviewing your credit report regularly. You can get a free credit report each week from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion by going to AnnualCreditReport.com. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

He did a lot of lifting, which has helped him build up his velocity and stamina,” the coach added. “He really takes care of his body, and just loves being on the mound.” When Soper is not on the mound, he can be seen in rightfi eld or at fi rst base. Love claims his best position other than the mound is at fi rst base. He is now committed to the sport after playing football in his freshman year.

SALARY FOR REPRESENTATIVES – The base salary for the state’s 160 state representatives rose from $73,655 for the 20232024 session to $82,044 for the 2025-2026 session. That’s an 11.39 percent hike which means an additional $8,389 per representative. The estimated price tag for the hikes is $1,342,240. Gov. Maura Healey announced these hikes in January.

It also requires that the same formula be used every two years to increase or decrease the stipends that 108 representatives receive for their service in Democratic or Republican leadership positions, as committee chairs or vice chairs and as the ranking Republican on some committees. Representatives’ base salaries were $46,410 when the voters approved the automatic pay adjustments in 1998. Since that time, the salaries have been increased every two years except for a $306 pay cut for the 20112012 session; an $1,100 pay cut for the 2013-2014 session; and a salary freeze for the 20152016 legislative session. The new $82,044 salary means that the base House salary has been raised $35,634 or 76.7 percent, since the mandated salary adjustment became part of the state constitution in 1998. $22,430.96 OR $29,907.95 FOR GENERAL EXPENSES – Each representative also receives an annual general expense pay allowance of $22,430.96 for members who live within a 50-mile radius of the Statehouse and $29,907.95 for those who are located outside of that radius. This separate, flat rate expense allowance is taxable as income. It is designed to pay for some of the costs of representatives’ district offi ces and other expenses including contributions to local civic groups and the printing and mailing of newsletters. Representatives are not required to submit an accounting of how they spend the money, but they are allowed to deduct any expenses, permitted under federal law, from their gross income on their federal and state tax return. EXTRA PAY FOR 108 REPRESENTATIVES – One hundred and eight of the state’s 160 representatives receive an additional stipend, ranging from $7,776.07 to $119,631.81, above the $82,044.31 base salary, for their positions in the Democratic and Republican leadership, as committee chairs, vice chairs and the ranking Republican on some committees. The stipend is increased or decreased every two years based on data from the BEA that measures the quarterly change in salaries and wages. House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) the top Democrat, earns the highest stipend of any representatives: $119,631.81. House Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading), the top Republican, earns an $89,723.85 stipend. Here are the top fi ve representatives who are paid the highest salaries including the three categories of base pay, stipends and general expense pay allowance: Reps. Ronald Mariano (D-Quincy) $224,107.08; Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston) $201,676.11; Bradley Jones (R-North Reading) $194,199.12; Michael Moran (D-Brighton) $194,199.12; and Kate Hogan (D-Stow) $179,245.15.

PARKING SPACES – Legislators are entitled to a parking space inside the Statehouse garage or at the nearby McCormack State Office Building. For 2025, the first $325 in monthly value of the space is a tax-free benefit under federal and state guidelines that apply to all public and private employees, not just state legislators. Any value of the space above this amount is treated as taxable income. The value of the parking spaces in 2025 was determined by the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to be $477 per month. Based on that figure, legislators would be taxed on the excess $152 monthly by the Internal Revenue Service and the state. HEALTH INSURANCE – Representatives are eligible to choose from 11 health insurance plans offered by the state’s Group Insurance Commission, which manages the plans for 259,929 individuals—current and retired state workers, as well as certain municipal workers and their dependents. Representatives elected on or before July 1, 2003, pay 20 percent of the total premium and the state pays 80 percent. Those elected to their first term on or after July 1, 2003 pay 25 percent while the state picks up only 75 percent. State and federal privacy regulations protect this information and it is not possible to obtain records about which plans individual legislators have purchased. The out-of-pocket monthly premiums paid by representatives for family plans range from $369.98 to $655.62 per month. For individual plans, they pay from $149.82 to $300.64 per month. LIFE INSURANCE – Representatives who purchase a health insurance policy from the state are also required to buy the state’s basic $5,000 life insurance policy. The costs for employees are based on age and whether the employee is a smoker or non-smoker. They range from 4 cents per month to $2.49 per month. The same 20/80 25/75 formula used for health insurance also applies to this life insurance. Representatives also have the option to buy additional life insurance with a value of up to eight times their salary – up to a maximum of $1.5 million. The entire premium for the optional insurance is paid by the representative. LONG-TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE AND HEALTH CARE SPENDING ACCOUNT – Representatives also have the option to open a Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) and Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP), and to buy longterm disability insurance. The HCSA allows representatives to set aside funds to pay for out-of-pocket health care expenses with before-tax dollars while the DCAP allows them to set aside funds to pay for certain dependent care expenses with before-tax dollars. This participation reduces their federal and state income taxes. The entire premium for long-term disability is paid by representatives. DENTAL AND VISION INSURANCE – Representatives are eligible to choose one of two dental/vision insurance plans. Current monthly employee premium costs paid by representatives for family plans range from $15.16 to $20.52, while individual plans range from $4.91 to $6.64. All representatives pay 15 percent of the premium and the state pays 85 percent. REPRESENTATIVES WHO LIVE 50 MILES FROM THE STATEHOUSE ARE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE TO PAY A REDUCED OR NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX ON THEIR LEGISLATIVE SALARY – For many years until recently, representatives who live more than 50 miles from the Statehouse were eligible for a special federal tax break. A 1981 federal law allowed them to write off a daily expense allowance when filing their federal income tax return. The complicated system determined a daily amount, ostensibly for meals, lodging and other expenses incurred in the course of their jobs, which can be deducted for every “legislative day.” Under the Massachusetts Legislature’s system and schedule, every day of the year qualifies as a legislative day. The Legislature does not formally “prorogue” (end an annual session) until the next annual session begins. This allowed representatives to take the deduction for all 365 days regardless of MORTGAGEE’S NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE BEACON | SEE PAGE 18 whether the Legislature is actually meeting or not. Representatives did not even have to travel to the Statehouse to qualify for the daily deduction. ~ Legal Notice ~ By virtue and in execution of the Power of Sale contained in a certain Mortgage given by Jaime Mendoza and Marta Mendoza to U.S. Bank National Association, dated October 7, 2019 and recorded with the Middlesex County (Southern District) Registry of Deeds at Book 73419, Page 314 for breach of the conditions of said Mortgage and for the purpose of foreclosing same will be sold at Public Auction at 11:00 AM on May 9, 2025 at 285 Chelsea Street, Everett, MA, all and singular the premises described in said Mortgage, to wit: The land with the buildings thereon situated in Everett, Middlesex County, Massachusetts and being the premises numbered 285 on the present numbering of Chelsea Street and being Lot 40 on a “Plan of House Lots in Malden owned by Nathaniel Shields, July 1, 1845, J.H.

A copy of the draft Housing Agency Plans are available for review at the Main office during regular office hours. The telephone number for the Authority is (617) 387-6389. May 02, 2025 CITY OF EVERETT - LEGAL NOTICE - 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 Monday May 19, 2025 at 6:00 PM, Everett City Hall, 3rd Floor George Keverian Hearing Room. All interested parties may attend and opinions will be heard regarding the following petition. Whereas a petition has been presented by: Property Address: Map/Parcel: Property Owner: 33-35 Ferry Street Everett, MA 02149 L0-07-000009 Mr. Antonio DeNardo 35 Ferry Street Everett, MA 02149 Proposal: Applicant seeks to convert a two family to a three family in a nonconforming structure located within a business District. Reason for Denial: Existing lot size is 4945 square feet with an FAR of .91 where and FAR of 1.5 is required. 1. Section 17 Off-Street Parking (A) (2): Multi-family dwellings 2 spaces per dwelling unit. 2. Section 17 off street Parking (I): Each required parking space shall not be less than 9 feet in width and 18 feet in length exclusive of drives and maneuvering space. 3. Section 17 Off-Street Parking (J): Parking facilities shall be designed so that each motor vehicle may proceed to and from the parking space provided for it without requiring the moving of any other motor vehicle. Section 3 (6) of APPENDIX A of the City of Everett Zoning ordinances requires “Pre-existing, non-conforming structures or uses may be extended, altered or changed in use, providing that such extensions, alterations or changes of use shall be permitted only upon the grant of a Special Permit by the Zoning Board of Appeals and after a public hearing, a finding by the Board that such extension, alteration or change of use shall not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing non-conforming use or structure. Rebecca Edmondson Korom - Chairman Roberta Suppa - Clerk of Board of Appeals May 02, 09, 2025 It varied from year to year. The daily per diem for representatives for fiscal year 2023, the last year this deduction was allowed, varied in different parts of the state and was seasonal. It ranged from $98 per day to $459 per day or between $35,770 and $167,535 annually. Beacon Hill Roll Call’s research indicated that in fiscal year 2023, 41 of the state’s 160 representatives lived more than 50 miles from the Statehouse, qualified for this deduction and were eligible to pay a reduced or no federal income tax on their legislative salaries. REPRESENTATIVES ARE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR PER DIEMS – Legislators are no longer entitled to collect “per diems” to reimburse them for mileage, meals and lodging expenses for travel from their home to the Statehouse. These reimbursements were discontinued in 2017. They were not taxable income and ranged from $10 per day for legislators who reside in the greater Boston area to $82 for Western Massachusetts lawmakers and $100 for those in Nantucket. TOTAL SALARY FOR REPRESENTATIVES Here is the total annual salary for local representatives including the three categories of base pay, stipends and general expense pay allowance. Rep. Joseph McGonagle $126,906.23 ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HEARING – The Judiciary Committee held a hearing on several bills including: PROTECT SURVIVORS OF SPOUSAL ABUSE FROM ALIMONY PAYMENTS (S 1236) – Would give the courts the authority to terminate alimony payments and deny future alimony petitions if the spouse receiving the payments has been convicted of spousal abuse. The bill defines “abuse” as including “attempting to cause or causing physical harm, placing a spouse in fear of imminent serious physical harm and causing a spouse to engage involuntarily in sexual relations by force, threat or duress.” “Every year, more than 12 million people in the U.S. experience violence by an intimate partner,” said sponsor Sen. Jake Oliveira (D-Ludlow). “Yet, in Massachusetts, it is possible for survivors of spousal abuse, who have already taken the near impossible step of leaving an abusive marriage, to be required to pay alimony to their abuser after they escape that relationship.” He noted that he filed the measure to ensure that survivors are protected from further abuse. DISABLED ADULTS AND CHILD CUSTODY (S 1164) – Would prevent a parent’s disability to be considered a negative factor in determining custody or parenting time with a child unless there is specific evidence that there is a link with the parent’s disability and a child’s alleged harm. It must also show that this harm cannot be prevented or alleviated by accommodation. “Parents with disabilities sometimes lose custody of their children due to their disabilities,” said sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “This bill seeks to address this issue by requiring courts to find evidence of any harms when making custody decisions, explained in writing, and requiring supportive measures when appropriate that can be taken to avoid harm to the parents and their children. It will potentially help keep families together.” DIGITAL ASSETS OF THE DECEASED (S 1048) – Would establish regulations over what happens to a decedent’s digital assets including social media, e-mail and online accounts. Supporters said that people are unlikely to specifically designate control over these assets in a will, and companies have a patchwork of different policies on the subject or no policies at all. They noted that this often gives companies discretion over whether to provide access to an account, and family members can be left with no ability to retrieve important information, particularly in the event of an unexpected death. “At the moment, there is legal uncertainty about what happens to a person’s digital assets—their email, social media and other online accounts—when they pass away,” said sponsor Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “[The bill] would BEACON | SEE PAGE 19
THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 2, 2025 Page 19 BEACON | FROM PAGE 18 make it easy to determine who, if anyone, should have access to a deceased person’s online accounts. It would also establish procedures and safeguards to prevent inappropriate disclosure of the deceased’s private communications. The legislation protects privacy while also ensuring that there is clarity about who may access the digital assets of someone who has died.” HEALTH CARE SURROGATE (S 1047) – Would create a process for handling the care of incapacitated patients who don’t have a health care proxy. The measure would allow attending physicians to appoint surrogate decision makers and identifies several candidates for that role, including the incapacitated patient’s spouse, unless legally separated, parent, adult child or adult sibling. Under current law, Massachusetts health care providers must go through the difficult process of seeking a judicially appointed medical guardian before even routine decisions about care can be made. Then, after a medical guardian is appointed, some decisions, including those related to transfers to nursing facilities, require additional judicial approval. These cumbersome processes are a disservice to incapacitated patients, whose care can be delayed by weeks. A surrogate would not be empowered to make decisions about transferring the patient to an inpatient mental health facility nor be able to make any “extraordinary” decisions about life support, sterilization and abortion. Those decisions would continue to be determined by a court. “Massachusetts is one of only four states without a statute allowing for the appointment of a health care surrogate when an incapacitated patient does not have a designated proxy,” said sponsor Sen. Cindy Cream. “[The bill] would create a more practical process for making medical decisions in such cases, while preserving important safeguards. Certain decisions would still require additional judicial approval, ensuring continued oversight. The bill strikes a careful balance by allowing timely care decisions to be made in the patient’s best interest, while respecting their rights and aligning as closely as possible with their known values and wishes.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Massachusetts has some of the most beautiful state parks in the country, and it takes all of us to preserve them for generations to come. In honor of Earth Day, it’s nice to get outside and celebrate our natural spaces.” ---Gov. Maura Healey who along with First Lady Joanna Lydgate, visited Torbert MacDonald State Park in Medford to celebrate Earth Day. “Massachusetts is hemorrhaging private sector jobs, and the Healey administration’s an~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE JUDICIAL BRANCH SUPERIOR COURT Hillsborough Superior Court Northern District 300 Chestnut Street Manchester NH 03101 CITATION FOR PUBLICATION Superior Court Rule 4(d) Case Name: Optiline Enterprises LLC v Interiano Drywall Corporation Case Number: 216-2024-CV-00945 The above entitled action is now pending in this Court.

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 SELLER2 ADDRESS 145 Bradford St 253 West St 103 Glendale St CITY Everett Everett Everett 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.
