THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 20, 2022 Page 17 BEACON | FROM PAGE 16 received a favorable report from the Judiciary Committee back on February 28, 2021 but has been languishing in the House Ways and Means Committee since that time. The donor would receive a tax credit or deduction. The bill also provides Massachusetts farmers who donate locally produced excess crops to nonprofit food distribution organizations a tax credit for the year of the donation. “This legislation would encourage the donation of food during a time in which the commonwealth continues to struggle with food insecurity as a result of the pandemic,” said sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton). Our state saw the highest rate of growth in food insecurity in the nation during the pandemic and food donations are needed to serve our most vulnerable residents. This bill will also incentivize farmers to donate food, setting up a pipeline between farms and food donation organizations, strengthening our food system, and off ering farmers the opportunity for a tax credit.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “We have … more support in the Statehouse in both bodies than we’ve ever had before, and I can tell you as someone who works in other states as well, we have the most support in any Legislature that we’ve ever seen across the country. We really feel like now is the time and this is the session to do it.” -- Melissa Stacy, Northeast regional advocacy manager for Compassion and Choices, on the future of the “Right to Die” bill allowing terminally ill patients to request and receive medication to end their lives. “Students across the commonwealth were significantly impacted by the disruption to their learning and their social and emotional well-being caused by COVID-19, and it is imperative that we continue to provide the resources and support they need to thrive. We are LEGAL NOTICE pleased to be able to again provide this funding, and we are grateful to the community and educational partners statewide who will take advantage of these opportunities and greatly benefi t the commonwealth’s children.” ---Gov. Charlie Baker announcing nearly $60 million in state and federal funding is now available to school districts and community organizations to off er summer learning and recreational programs designed to help students grow academically and socially. “No matter what the time of year, we fi nd that young people love and get so inspired taking on the role of U.S. senators and learning—by doing—about the researching, thinking, debating and compromising that go into producing legislation. Over and over again, we hear from our students who come in-person what an exciting and unforgettable experience it was to be right there on what looks and feels exactly like the fl oor of the United States Senate in Washington.” --- Caroline Angel Burke, Vice President of Education, Visitor Experience, and Collections at the Kennedy Institute, on its “Senator for a Day” interactive civic education programs for K-12 students. “Anyone who’s been traveling into EVERETT PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE PUBLIC HEARING ON AN APPLICATION BY RISE TOGETHER PROPERTY LOCATED AT: 52 SCHOOL STREET SITE PLAN REVIEW & INCLUSIONARY ZONING In accordance with the provisions of M.G.L Chapter 40A and with Sections 4, 19, and 32 of the Everett Zoning Ordinance, the Everett Planning Board will conduct a public hearing on Monday, June 6, 2022 at 6:00PM in the Speaker George Keverian Room (Room 37, Everett City Hall) to consider the above-listed application for Site Plan Review and Special Permit for Inclusionary Zoning.

Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on BEACON | SEE PAGE 19 LEGAL NOTICE EVERETT PLANNING BOARD PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE PUBLIC HEARING ON AN APPLICATION BY SPRING STREET REAL ESTATE LLC PROPERTY LOCATED AT: 128 SPRING STREET SITE PLAN REVIEW & INCLUSIONARY ZONING In accordance with the provisions of M.G.L Chapter 40A and with Sections 19, 32, and 33 of the Everett Zoning Ordinance, the Everett Planning Board will conduct a public hearing on Monday, June 6, 2022 at 6:00PM in the Speaker George Keverian Room (Room 37, Everett City Hall) to consider the above-listed application for Site Plan Review and Special Permit for Inclusionary Zoning.
