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.

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
