THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 27, 2022 Page 25 BEACON | FROM PAGE 24 the Bills in Third Reading Committee since approved by the House on Dec. 30, 2021, is a bill that would amend current law that imposes up to a 7-year prison sentence and/or $5,000 fi ne for a fi rst off ense of animal cruelty and a 10-year prison sentence and/or $10,000 fi ne for a second off ense. The bill leaves the prison sentences as they are but raises the fi nes to $5,500 for a fi rst off ense and $11,000 for subsequent off enses. It also creates a special account where up to $500 for a fi rst off ense and up to $1,000 for subsequent off enses would go to fund improvements to animal shelters in the city or town in which the violations occurred. “Animal cruelty laws in Massachusetts are strong, but not strong enough,” said sponsor Rep. Bruce Ayers (D-Quincy). “ We need to set a stronger precedent that animal cruelty will not be tolerated. The additional funds generated through this bill will help subsidize much-needed improvements to animal shelters across Massachusetts, putting the fi - nancial burden on the backs of those who violate the law. Addressing the inaction on the bill for the past fi ve months, Ayers said he’s confi dent on the merits of this bill and feels that it will continue through the legislative process.” $500 PAYMENTS TO 330,000 ELIGIBLE LOW-INCOME WORKERS – The Baker Administration announced that 300,000 low-income workers will each LEGAL NOTICE receive $500 under the second round of the COVID-19 Essential Employee Premium Pay Program that was part of the American Rescue Plan Act approved by the Legislature in December 2021.

Instead, they should address suspending the gas tax and cutting other taxes to help middle class Massachusetts taxpayers keep more of their hard-earned money.” BEACON | SEE PAGE 27 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.
