BUYER1 Liu, Eric Zhai Marnet, Andre Moreira BEACON | FROM PAGE 26 seniors with homes valued at less than $1,298,000 and who earn $75,000 or less for a single individual who is not the head of a household; 94,000 for a head of household; and $112,000 for married couples filing a joint return. To qualify as a homeowner, your property tax payments, together with half of your water and sewer expense, must exceed 10 percent of your total Massachusetts income for the tax year. If you are a renter, 25 percent of your annual Massachusetts rent must exceed 10 percent of your total Massachusetts income for the tax year. “Seniors on a fixed income are struggling to pay for food, electricity, gas and property taxes,” said sponsor Rep. Kristin Kassner (D-Hamilton). “After passing home rule petitions in two of our towns to expand access to senior property tax deferral, we learned that if seniors take the deferral, they no longer qualify for the Senior Circuit Breaker discount on their state taxes. This bill would allow income-qualifying seniors to defer property taxes (with the taxes paid in full with interest upon the sale of their home) and still qualify for the Senior Circuit Breaker. AG CAMPBELL ANNOUNCES $7.8 MILLION SETTLEMENT — MassaBUYER2 SELLER1 Kelly, Doreen Marnet, Ann Thuong Phan, Nuong Ai chusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell announced a $7.8 million settlement with American First Finance (AFF) resolving allegations that the company used unfair and deceptive business practices to mislead consumers with expensive lease-to-own contracts. The settlement requires AFF to pay $2 million to the state which will then distribute it to impacted customers as restitution. The settlement also includes nearly $5.8 million in credits to existing consumer accounts. “Consumers making significant purchases deserve to be presented with clear, straightforward payment options,” said Campbell. “When companies mislead buyers and profit off the confusion they create, that violates our consumer protection laws and unfairly puts our residents at risk. My office will continue to hold companies that take advantage of consumers accountable, especially when they target our most vulnerable communities.” 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. During the week of May 11-15, the House met for a total of 18 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 25 minutes. Mon. May 11 House11:01 a.m. to 11:08 a.m. Senate 12:04 p.m. to 12:08 p.m. Tues.
