Page 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 30, 2025 City Council again stalls TIF agreement for proposed Second St. mixed-use development By Neil Zolot T he City Council tabled a request for a 14-year Tax Increment Finance (TIF) agreement for a proposed planned development at 380 2nd St. — for a 620 unit/21 story mixeduse building, known as The Sofia — a long unused building which once housed an auto-find company, a Brazilian church and a lift truck service, at their meeting Tuesday, May 27. It is unlikely it will come up again before the next regular meeting scheduled for Monday, June 9. Councillors are not against the concept but expressed concern about its length in this case. “Can we make it less?” Councillor-at-Large Katy Rogers asked. “Unlikely,” Consultant Judy Pelletier of CRE Asset Advisors answered. “If you shorten the TIF you’re making the project less financially feasible than it already is. It can’t be less.” “Is it a good deal for the city?” Ward 3 Councillor Anthony DiPierro asked, somewhat rhetorically since he is in favor of the project. “I believe it is,” Managing Partner Christian Reenstierna of CRE answered. “If the TIF doesn’t move forward, I believe it will take years for another developer to get confident with this.” “Without a vote the Sofia can’t go forward,” CEO Scott Brown of developers Fulcrum Global Investors added. Fulcrum offered some concessions, including paying $2 million directly into the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund, making provisions for local High School students to participate in job fairs and an apprenticeship programs, establishing a Tenants Improvements Package loan program for businesses and, responding to a request from Councillor-at-Large Katy Rogers, to not use the word “luxury” in advertisements and descriptions of the building, which she feels has been overused and is elitist. “It seems like some language needs to be cleaned up,” Brown acknowledged. City Council President Stephanie Martins expressed concern that the $2 million would be paid after construction. “They won’t have the revenue [until then],” Mayor Carlo De Maria responded. Councillor-at-Large John Hanlon said he is worried the TIF will set a precedent and attract developers looking for TIFs. Martins agreed. “I wouldn’t anticipate that,” Reenstierna feels. “I don’t know how many opportunities there’d be.” He also warned that denying the TIF could scare developers off. Another sticking point was the provision to waive the $3.5 million building permit fee. Brown countered that in addition to the $2 million, Fulcrum will pay for a $3.4 million environmental cleanup on the site and pay for peer reviews for the project. “Money is being redirected,” he said, but Director of Community Planning and Development Matt Lattanzi interjected, “It is a waiver.” Ward 5 Councillor Robert Van Campen was not satisfied. “My goal is to have the Building Permit fee paid, not waived,” he said. Councillor-at-Large Guerline Alcy Jabouin is unsatisfied with the rents for the 42 affordable units, now comprised of 33 units for veterans under the Dept. of Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program, which will be priced at 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI), three other units at 60% of the AMI and five other units at 80% of the AMI. Rents are currently planned at $2,300 per month for a studio apartment; $2,700 per month for a one-bedroom apartment and over $3,000 for larger ones, in part because Everett is in an AMI cohort that includes similar communities like Malden and Medford, but dissimilar ones like Lexington, Newton, North Reading and Winchester.

Page 4 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 30, 2025 From AI to embroidery: Everett student shines in both the digital and tactile worlds A s a high school student in Everett deciding where to attend college, Isaac Tomeho found himself attracted to the words appearing on the Clark University seal: Fiat Lux. The idea of being drawn to the light helped draw him to the campus. The computer science major has since found a path that allows him to indulge his intellectual passions, begin fulfilling a personal plan for his life and career and enjoy the opportunity to do something truly unexpected: help his fellow students make really cool stuff. A self-described “global citizen,” Tomeho is a native of the West African country of Benin who also lived in Ghana, Mali and Senegal before moving to Massachusetts in 2020 to be with his father. By eighth grade, he’d become so fascinated by computer technology that he already knew it was something he’d study at a higher level. “If you want to be successful, why not go into a field that you’ve enjoyed since you were a kid — and you’ll keep that passion forever,” he says. At Clark, Tomeho has worked with Professor John Magee to shape technologies that better serve people with significant physical challenges. He also has collaborated with Professor Odebile Olufemi on ways to shrink the necessary storage capacity for large data files Lawrence A.

His research into how video-sharing platforms affected social service organizations pre- and post-COVID earned him an invitation to the 2024 Human-Computer Interaction International Conference in Washington, D.C. Tomeho has served on the Clark Undergraduate Student Council and the Black Student Union, and is an active member of the Men of Color Alliance on campus. Academically, he serves as a teaching assistant for an Intro to Computing course and relishes his role as a mentor to students finding their way through the rigorous computer science curriculum. He’s a firm believer in the ability of humans to employ the critical and creative thinking necessary to harness the capacities of AI tools without being overwhelmed by them. “What I’m excited about is tech TIF AGREEMENT | FROM PAGE 2 els in those affluent communities’ skew affordability under the AMI above the means of many residents. “I can’t call that affordable,” she said. DeMaria countered that the rents are similar to others in Everett. He also admonished her for her comments on the companies hiring physicists, psychologists, and professionals in the humanities to look at their models and determine if they’re ethically aligned and serving the people,” he says. “I love to think really hard about a problem, then write the code that will efficiently solve it,” he says. After graduation, he plans to work as a software engineer for about seven years, develop and refine his expertise, and then ultimately launch his own company — one “that will positively impact the world …. my goal is to make a tech company that is much more about the humanitarian than it is about the technical.” Last summer the potential for merging the digital with the tactile inspired Tomeho, alongside others, to cofound the Lux Lab , a makerspace located in the Center for Media Arts, Computing, and Design. units adding to the population of students in overcrowded schools, which is unlikely given the size of the apartments.

The mayor has stated from the beginning of the council’s pushback that he invites the attorney general to weigh in given that — if there were any — the AG’s office would have reported that by now. The members also approved borrowing $3 million for two capital improvement projects, specifically $2 million for Streets & Sidewalks and $1 million for the Complete Streets program, which also covers crosswalks and ramps. Streets will include Estes, Grover and Miller Streets and Meadowview Road, which are located between Wehner Park and Whittier Drive and the Malden line.

For the Everett resident, this achievement marks an important step toward her goal of becoming a registered nurse. A mother, wife and working professional who holds two jobs, Katia has balanced countless responsibilities while keeping her educational goals in sharp focus. “The First Literacy scholarship has been incredibly helpful,” said Katia. “It allowed me to reduce my work hours so I could focus on my studies and clinical responsibilities, which made a significant difference in my success.” Each year, First Literacy, a Boston-based nonprofit, awards $1,500 scholarships to recent graduates of Massachusetts Adult Basic Education (ABE) or English language programs who are continuing to vocational training or higher education. Since the program’s launch in 1990, over 600 scholarships have been awarded to Happy 67th About First Literacy Katia Lopes de Abreu adult learners across the state in recognition of educational achievements, community service and perseverance. Now that she has completed her associate degree, Katia plans to continue on to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program and deepen her skills in patient care. “I’ve always had a strong desire to care for others and make a positive impact in people’s lives,” she said. “To anyone pursuing their education: don’t give up. There will be challenges, but with perseverance and support, your goals are absolutely within reach.” Birthday, Wayne! In 1988, a consortium of public and private sector leaders, including Mayor Raymond Flynn and Boston Globe publisher William O. Taylor, established the Boston Adult Literacy Fund (BALF) to expand and improve Adult Basic Education (ABE) in Boston. Twenty years later, BALF became First Literacy. With a focus on funding innovation in adult literacy, First Literacy plays a unique and critical role in adult education and literacy in Massachusetts. Through program grants, free teacher workshops and scholarships for adult learners, First Literacy reaches over 8,000 adult learners and 200 teachers across Massachusetts every year.

Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 30, 2025 Everett man pleads guilty to sex trafficking four victims A ccording to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Massachusetts, on May 15, 2025, an Everett man pleaded guilty in federal court in Boston to four counts of an indictment charging him with sex trafficking four separate female victims. Trevor Jones, 47, pleaded guilty to four counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion. U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs scheduled sentencing for Aug. 12, 2025. In May 2023, Jones was indicted by a federal grand jury. Jones was arrested on related state charges on March 23, 2023, and has remained in state custody since. According to the charging documents, from at least 2016 until 2023, Jones ran a sex trafficking operation targeting victims who were suffering from substance use disorder. As part of his sex trafficking operation, Jones provided his victims with controlled substances, including heroin, fentanyl and cocaine, to intensify their drug dependance and gain their compliance while prohibiting the victims from obtaining controlled substances from other sources. Jones demanded “loyalty” and “dedication” from his victims. Allegedly, he enforced his requirements by punishing victims with acts of violence, threats of violence and withholding controlled substance from drug-dependent victims. As outlined in court, Jones beat one victim with a belt — causing bruising throughout her body. When confronted with the injuries he caused, Jones told the victim that she deserved the abuse. Jones was verbally abusive toward another victim, locking her out of the house, demanding to know where her “loyalty” was and berating her for not “contributing everything” she was making. Another victim experienced degradation from Jones, with him telling her that she needed to “make Celebrating 52 Years! Dan Chris Have A Cigar on Dan!

Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes that govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case. The May 15 case announcement was made by the following: U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley; the Acting Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Boston Division, Kimberly Milka; Massachusetts State Police Superintendent Colonel Geoffrey D. Noble; and Essex County District Attorney Paul F. Tucker. Valuable assistance was provided by the Revere, Arlington and Boston Police Departments. The U.S. Attorney’s Office Chief of the Human Trafficking & Civil Rights Unit, Elizabeth Riley, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Torey B.

Dr. Linda LeMura, president of Le Moyne College and the first female layperson to be named president of a Jesuit institution of higher education in the United States, delivered this year’s address to the Class of 2025 and received an honorary degree. In her remarks, LeMura emphasized that the goal of a Jesuit — and specifically a Holy Cross — education is to unite two identities: the dreamer and the doer, following the example of St. Ignatius of Loyola. “Graduates, my wish for you — today, and every day — is that you will hold tight to your skills and to your dreams,” said LeMura. “Treasure them both. Your dreams will inspire your work, and your work will inspire your dreams. Never let go of the whimsical, poetical, visionary dreamer that lives in each and every one of you.” Holy Cross also awarded an honorary degree to Sister Barbara Rogers, RSCJ, a longtime leader of the Newton Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. The College of the Holy Cross, which was founded in 1843, is among the nation’s leading liberal arts institutions.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 30, 2025 Page 9 ~ EDiTORiAL ~ Sofia: Short-Sighted Stephanie Smith Signaled Support, Switches Suddenly F ulcrum Global Investors (“FGI”) have once again appeared before the City Council to request approval of a proposed Tax Increment Financing (“TIF”) for their 21-story mixed-use tower located at 380 Second Street. Through negotiations with the Administration and, presently, with the City Council, the TIF Agreement contains provisions including construction of the project with 100% Union-Labor, a $2 Million payment to be made to Everett’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund, job fairs and training will be conducted in conjunction with the Everett School Department, a $3+ Million investment toward cleaning up a heavily contaminated site, collaboration between FGI and Everett business-owners to incorporate a local business into the ground-floor retail, and many other benefits. The proposal has been divisive among both residents and Councilors. One Councilor, Stephanie Smith, has stated that she’s met multiple times with FGI to help craft the TIF. Smith, who has a professional background in fiTIF AGREEMENT | FROM PAGE 4 cillor Wayne Matewsky in dissent. This will also lower the entire DEI Department budget request of $486,662, which is lower than the Fiscal 2025 budget of $521,280, thereby cutting the two dept. employees’ salaries in half. Before the vote, Martins asked DEI Director Cathy Draine about how the money was spent, particularly regarding conferences employees attended. Draine answered that professional development enhances “our ability to be robust in responses by getting necessary training” and the conferences give employees information on new regulations and how to comply with them. A motion by Alcy Jabouin to reduce salaries by $30,000 nance, tends to be the dominant voice on financial matters before the Council. To that end, Smith expressed concern at a Special Meeting of the City Council held on May 19th on whether a reduction in taxes would result in other residential taxpayers being negatively impacted. Smith stated, “If we get the answer and it’s the right answer, it will absolutely change my vote because we’re getting all the benefits, and the residents aren’t picking up the brunt of it. So that will absolutely change my vote.” After receiving verbal confirmation at the May 19th meeting as well as written correspondence by the City Assessors Office confirming that a reduction in taxes will result in a reduction in assessed value and, therefore, no residential taxpayer would be negatively impacted through a TIF, Smith yet again shifted the goalposts, positioning herself on the opposing side this past Tuesday evening. In the same meeting, Smith admits that construction of the Sofia with a TIF is better for the City of Everett in the long-term, but voiced confrom the requested $225,662 was defeated 7-3 with Martins and Ward 6 Councillor Peter Pietrantonio joining Alcy Jabouin in the minority. Salaries for Fiscal 2025 are $219,100. Despite her vote, Martins said, “I support DEI and will approve any appropriation once I know the work that needs to be done is being done outside the office. It’s about getting to know who’s in the community and how to work with them. It’s about inclusion not exclusion. We’re informed you don’t talk to the two women of color on the Council.” “It’s a busy office,” Hanlon countered. “I visit and see the work they do. It’s not people just sitting around waiting for a phone call.” Draine’s Fiscal 2025 salary is $140,966. The Fiscal 2026 request is $145,195. cern that the request is coming at a difficult time. Reading between the lines, it appears that Smith really means that, while supporting the TIF is, unquestionably, a sound investment into Everett’s financial, environmental, and aesthetic future, doing so might hurt her reelection chances. At the end of the day, elected officials should really take a look in the mirror and reflect on their duty. Is their goal to advocate for the long-term interests of the City’s residents? Or does that come second to appeasing the loudest voices in the room? Day after day, it has become evident that a solid handful of Councilors think that their only job duty is to win reelection rather than make meaningful change in their City that they supposedly love. Don’t believe me? This Council has now been in session for 17 months. Can you think of three pieces of legislation they’ve crafted? How about two examples of platforms that they advocated for during their incoherent biweekly meetings that actually resulted in something tangible?

For any Trust that has more than $100,000 in assets, the benefi ciary can withdraw up to 5% of the Trust assets. The situation usually occurs when the Settlor of a revocable Trust dies, which in turn results in the Trust becoming irrevocable and the Trust then provides for the benefi t of a surviving spouse. Per the Internal Revenue Code, YOUR LOCAL NEWS & SPORTS IN SIX LANGUAGES. SUBSCRIBE TO THE ADVOCATE ONLINE BY SCANNING HERE! there has to be a limit on what the beneficiary can withdraw each year in order to avoid any negative tax consequences. If a Trust provision allowed the benefi ciary to withdraw more than $5,000 or 5% of the Trust principal each year, then the IRS would consider this to be a “general” power of appointment and some or all of the Trust assets could be included in the benefi ciary’s estate for estate tax purposes. What is one advantage of including such a provision in a trust document? Such a provision might be suitable in a situation of a second marriage wherein one spouse does not want the surviving spouse to have unfettered control over the Trust assets. Such a power would provide a minimum of a $5,000 withdrawal on the part of the surviving spouse each year. This could be important if the Trust itself generated very little income for the year that was required to be distributed to the surviving spouse pursuant to the terms of the Trust. Alternatively, if the Trust principal ended up being $1,000,000 at the time of the fi rst spouse’s death, the surviving spouse could take up to $50,000 each year (5% of $1,000,000). Furthermore, such a right might put some of the Trust’s assets at risk if the surviving spouse was involved in litigation. Generally speaking, creditors can reach what you can reach as a benefi - ciary of a Trust. The 5 or 5 power also allows the beneficiary to withdraw up to 5% of the Trust’s assets, even if the withdrawal is not for an ascertainable standard such as for the health, education and support of the surviving spouse. This allows the surviving spouse to simply take a withdrawal without meeting any such standard. The surviving spouse would not have to answer to a Trustee that might not be so cooperative when it comes to Trust distributions. The other benefi t of the 5 or 5 power is that so long as the surviving spouse does not exceed its parameters, upon the surviving spouse’s death, the assets in the Trust not subject to the 5 or 5 power will not be included in her taxable estate for estate tax purposes. In this situation, the fi rst spouse to die has the ability to exempt $13.9 million in assets from his or her taxable estate by funding the so-called “family trust” portion of a marital deduction trust wherein the surviving spouse still would enjoy rights to income, discretionary Trustee distributions of principal to the surviving spouse based upon a health, education and support standard and the 5 or 5 power. Upon the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining Trust assets not subject to the 5 or 5 power will be distributed free of estate tax to the children of the first spouse to die. However, the Trust assets subject to the 5 or 5 power in the hands of the surviving spouse would be taxable in her estate upon her death. If her federal taxable estate ends up being $13.9 million or less, there would be no federal estate tax anyway. If there were $5,000,000 of Trust assets, at most, only $250,000 would be taxable in the surviving spouse’s estate. It also looks as though Congress may extend most of the key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act meaning the federal estate tax exemption may not be dropping down to approximately $6million as of January 1, 2026.

McGonagle nominates Corbeli for Military Appreciation Day at the State House O n May 22, 2025, Representative Joe McGonagle was pleased to join to his fellow members of the Legislature in celebrating the first ever Military Appreciation Day at the State House. Each legislator was able to nominate a military member of their community to be recognized for their service at the ceremony in the House Chambers. Rep. McGonagle nominated Erika Corbeli of the United States Coast Guard. “Erika is an incredible young woman,” said McGonagle. “I was thrilled to meet her and hear about her drive and ambition. She has already given so much to this community but I know she will go far doing great things. I’m grateful that she calls Everett her home.” The ceremony featured remarks from Governor Maura Healey, Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, Veterans Services Secretary Jon Santiago and Massachusetts Senate President Karen Spilka and a keynote address by General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. (Ret.), former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 36th Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps. “This event is about gratitude,” said Governor Healey. “We’re here to honor the everyday heroes — veterans, active-duty service members, and military families — whose courage, strength, and commitment continue to shape our state for the better. Military Appreciation Day is now a Massachusetts tradition and one we’ll proudly carry forward each year.” “Every day, I meet veterans and military families who continue to lead, serve, and inspire,” said Secretary Santiago. “As we approach Memorial Day, and during a month dedicated to honoring our military, this event reflects what makes Massachusetts special: a deep respect for Pictured from left to right: State Senator Sal DiDomenico, honorees Millie Cardello and Erika Corbeli, and State Representative Joe McGonagle. The honorees and Governor Maura Healey (in blue). General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. (Ret.) speaking at the event. service, and a commitment to those who wear the uniform — and those who stand beside them.” “It is an honor to host the inaugural Military Appreciation Day in the historic House Chamber,” said Speaker of the House Ronald Mariano. “This new tradition reflects our deep appreciation for the Governor Maura Healey speaking at the event. veterans, service members, and military families who strengthen every corner of our Commonwealth.” “It’s always a privilege to thank a military veteran,” said Rep. McGonagle. “To have so many Massachusetts veterans in one space with the explicit purpose of honoring them is a beautiful thing. I’m so grateful to Secretary Jon Santiago and his team for organizing this event as well Governor Healey and her administration for their continued support of veterans.” The program also featured a powerful performance of the National Anthem by Springfield native and NBC’s The Voice finalist Michelle Brooks-Thompson. Following the ceremony, honorees and guests were invited to a lunch reception generously donated by the Military Friends Foundation, a Massachusetts nonprofit dedicated to providing support and emergency assistance to military families and families of the fallen.

The 10 family-sized units will help reach those returning from service who need stable housing for not just themselves but their families. Ending veterans’ homelessness and amplifying veterans’ housing has been a priority of the Healey Administration and Rep. McGonagle. “I was very impressed with the new units and ecstatic to be a part of the ceremony,” said McGonagle. “Veteran housing is a crucial issue in the Commonwealth that we cannot ignore. We will not be satisfied until there is zero veteran homelessness. Projects like this allow us to reach different groups of veterans in more manageable ways. I am excited to see what we can accomplish in the future and to attend many more celebrations like this. Thank you to Secretary Santiago, Major General Gary Keefe, Soldier On, Clear Path for Veterans New England and many more for their leadership and hard work on these issues.” R State Representative Joe McGonagle speaking with Executive Office of Veterans Services Secretary Jon Santiago.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 30, 2025 Page 21 EHS Crimson Tide Spring Sports Roundup Tide softball ready for the postseason after closing out the regular season with two wins; Tide baseball completes schedule with solid shutout win By Joe McConnell Softball begins States as the 34th Seed T he Everett High School softball team (15-5) wrapped up the regular season last week by winning their last two games on the schedule against non-league opponents Swampscott (12-7, May 21) and Lowell (10-9, May 24). However, they started the week with a loss to host Medford, 11-0 on May 19. Since last Saturday’s home finale against the Red Raiders, the Crimson Tide has been getting ready for the Division 1 state tournament, while waiting for the brackets to be announced to see who they will be playing in the first round. Everett ended up as the 34th seed, according to the final Division 1 power rankings. There are 55 teams in this division, and 35 of them made the postseason. Coach Stacy Schiavo’s team is scheduled to go up against longtime Greater Boston League (GBL) rival Medford (18-2), the 31st seed, in the Division 1 preliminary round. Date and time TBA. In that Lowell game, Peyton Warren went all seven innings in the circle, giving up five hits, four walks and seven earned runs, while striking out four. Lowell scored the first run of the game in the opening stanza, and got two more in the second to take a 3-0 lead. They tacked on another two runs in the top of the third, before the home team was able to get them all back, while adding a sixth run to go ahead by one, 6-5. Arianna Osorio-Bonilla started the rally off with a walk. Olivia Dresser followed with a single, and Ashley Seward then loaded the bases with another base hit for Alexa Uga, who singled in Osorio-Bonilla. Mia Allen brought home another run with a sacrifice fly. Graziella Foster kept the rally going with a run-producing single to account for the third tally. Warren doubled in the fourth run, before Kassidy Rivera was responsible for the final two in the inning with her own double. Lowell regained the lead with three more runs in the fourth. But the Tide took them right back with three of their own in the home half of the frame. Allen tripled in two of the runs, and then scored the team’s ninth run on a sacrifice fly. The Tide scored the eventual game-winning run in the fifth, when Uga singled in Osorio-Bonilla. The Red Raiders attempted a comeback in the seventh, only to come up one run short. “We had lost to (Lowell) earlier in the season, but knew we could beat them,” said Schiavo. “I’m so proud of the entire team. Peyton showed heart pitching all seven innings to keep us in it, even when things were tough early. Defensively, we had huge plays from Alexa Uga at third, Olivia Dresser at short and finally a game-saving relay from Jayla Davila to Dresser to Uga to close it out. Offensively, everyone contributed from Arianna’s key atbats to Mia’s triple and clutch sacrifice fly to Kassidy’s tworun double that gave us momentum.” Three days earlier in Swampscott, the Tide topped this nonleague opponent with late runs in the sixth and seventh innings. Allen yielded eight hits, five walks and six earned runs over seven innings to account for another win. She also fanned six Big Blue batters. The Big Blue took a 3-0 lead after one, but the visitors came right back with four in the second. Emma Salvi doubled in both Juliette Romboli and Foster, who got the threat going with singles. Dresser produced the third run with a hit, and Uga did the same to give her teammates the lead for the first time in the game. But the Big Blue regained the advantage with two in the home half of the second, only to see it disappear rather quickly, when the Tide scored two more runs in the third. Foster (single) and Romboli (walk) got on base again for Salvi, whose hit this time loaded the bases. Osorio-Bonilla then drew a walk to knock in Foster to account for one of the runs in this inning. The Everett girls produced another run in the fourth. Seward led off with a single, and eventually scored on a fielder’s choice by Allen. But the Big Blue scored twice in the home half to tie up the proceedings at seven apiece. But not to be outdone, the Everett girls came right back with three in the fifth to once again take the lead, 10-7. But this time Salvi initiated the offensive surge with a single up the middle, and a short time later scored on a double by Osorio-Bonilla. Dresser followed with a single to keep the inning going for Seward, who singled home Osorio-Bonilla. Dresser eventually came home on a sacrifice fly. The Tide added additional insurance with two in the sixth. Salvi and Osorio-Bonilla singled, and Seward walked to load the bases for Uga, who singled home those two runs. “This was a great team win.” said Schiavo. “The girls stayed composed after a rough first inning, and came back swinging. We had clutch hits throughout the lineup, aggressive baserunning and key defensive plays that really turned the momentum around for us. “Mia Allen pitched a complete game and battled through every inning. I’m proud of how the team responded, with everyone contributing,” added the veteran Everett coach. “Emma Salvi was outstanding at the plate, delivering in big moments with key hits and one RBI. The team’s energy and execution, especially in those middle innings, was the difference to secure this road win.” The Tide started the week at Medford, and as it turned out, it was all Mustangs. Warren went six innings, allowing 11 hits, three walks and eight earned runs. She whiffed five. The Mustangs scored three quick runs in the first, and never looked back. They put four more runs on the scoreboard in the third to take a commanding 7-0 lead. With another four runs in the fourth, the home team was in double digits, and cruising to the shutout victory. “Our team showed heart, even when the scoreboard didn’t reflect our efforts,” said Schiavo. “We had runners on in multiple innings, and kept battling at the plate. Defensively, there were moments of solid execution that included key throws, strikeouts and solid plays in the field. This game was a tough one, but the girls never stopped competing.” Tide baseball shuts down Greater Lawrence to end season he Everett High School baseball team (8-12) had visions of a much better ending to the season. Going into the regular season finale against host Greater Lawrence Regional Technical on Memorial Day, they had lost seven straight games, two of them by just one run. If they had only won two of those T games, they would have been looking ahead to the postseason. But instead, second-year coach Malik Love is already looking forward to a promising 2026 campaign with seven talented returnees coming back, and several more ready for a promotion from this year’s JV squad. The Tide did, however, shutdown the aforementioned Reggies on their Andover campus, 4-0 earlier this week to go into next year with positive momentum. The game was originally scheduled for Glendale last Friday, but because of rain and the wet field, it was moved to Andover, but the Tide was still the home team. “It was a good way to finish the season,” said Love. “The kids came ready to play in order to send our nine seniors off the right way. We were able to come through with late hits, while also making the routine plays on defense to win this game. Hopefully, we will roll this win into next year with so many promising players returning.” The Everett boys collected eight hits in the final game of the regular season against Greater Lawrence. Of the eight hits, four of them went for extra bases. Senior Chris O’Neil (1 RBI), freshman M.J. Guida (2 hits, 1 RBI) and Albert Santana were each credited with a double, while sophomore Tyler Freni (1 RBI) accounted for a triple. Senior Reinaldo Santiago knocked in a run with a single. Isaiah Goffigan and Derek Soper chipped in with one single apiece. Speaking of Soper, one of Love’s talented returning underclassmen, he was once again masterful on the mound. In this game, the young sophomore pitched all seven innings, limiting the Reggies to just one hit and two walks, while striking out five.

Be it hereby ordered: Massachusetts Electric Company d/b/a National Grid of North Andover, Massachusetts and Verizon New England requests permission to locate poles, wires, fixtures, including the necessary sustaining and protecting fixtures, along and across the following public way or ways hereinafter named.

Your petitioner agrees to reserve space for one cross-arm at a suitable point on each of said poles for fire, police, telephone, and telegraph signal wires belonging to the municipality and used by it exclusively for municipal purposes.

Hearing to be held with the Everett City Council, held on Monday at 7:00PM, on the 9th of June, 2025 at the Everett City Council Chambers, 3rd Floor, Everett City Hall. May 30, 2025 Instead of acting on each amendment one at a time, hundreds of the proposed amendments are bundled and put into two piles— one pile that will be approved and the other that will be rejected, without a roll call, on voice votes where it is impossible to tell which way a senator votes. Senate President Karen Spilka, or the senator who is fi lling in for her at the podium, orchestrates the approval and rejection of the bundled amendments with a simple: “All those in favor say ‘Aye,’ those opposed say ‘No.’ The Ayes have it and the amendments are approved.” Or: “All those in favor say ‘Aye,’ those opposed say ‘No.’ The No’s have it and the amendments are rejected.” Senators don’t actually vote “Yes” or “No,” and, in fact, they don’t say a word. The outcome was predetermined earlier behind closed doors. Supporters of the system say that any senator who sponsored an amendment that is in the “No” pile can bring it to the fl oor and ask for an up or down vote on the amendment itself. They say this system has worked well for many years. Critics say that most of the time members do not bring their amendment, which was destined for the “No” pile, to the fl oor for an up-or-down vote because that is not the way the game is played. It is an “expected tradition” that in most cases you accept the fate of your amendment as determined by Democratic leaders. APPROVE $530 MILLION FISCAL 2025 SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET (H 4150) House 149-1, approved a $530 million fi scal 2025 supplemental budget that will carry a net cost to the state of $318.2 million after federal reimbursements. Provisions include $189 million for childcare fi nancial assistance; $134 million for the Medical Assistance Trust Fund; $60 million for Home Care Services; $42.9 million for the Residential Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT) program; and $15 million in grants to support municipal celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the American independence. “Amid President Trump’s dismantling of the Department of Education, and amid sweeping cuts at the federal level to programs that millions of Americans rely on, this supplemental budget makes key investments that will ensure continued funding for state programs that support many of the commonwealth’s most vulnerable residents,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “This supplemental budget will fund critical programs such as childcare fi nancial assistance, home care services and food insecurity that require immediate attention,” said Rep. Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), Chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means. “The policies of kill, maim, medicate and indoctrinate our children continue, as does the policy of putting illegal immigrants ahead of our citizens,” said Rep. John Gaskey (R-Carver), the only members to vote againt the budget. “[Speaker] Mariano’s hint at a lower budget to help struggling taxpayers turned into a free-for-all as the House budget ballooned all week long.” (A “Yes” vote is for the budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes ENGLISH LEARNERS (H 4150) House 150-1, approved an amendment that would enshrine protections for English language learners and students with disabilities currently provided under federal law into state law, ensuring that these students receive both English language development and Special Education services in a coordinated, culturally and linguistically appropriate manner, regardless of school district or demographic. The amendment also prohibits discrimination in public schools based on immigration, citizenship status or disability. “This is a strong step toward ensuring English learners are fairly evaluated and appropriately supported in special education,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Alice Peisch (D-Wellesley). “This will help ensure our English Language Learners students receive the same opportunities to succeed as every other student.” “This is a requirement that further burdens an already struggling education system but, show me where this isn’t already happening,” said amendment opponent Rep. John Gaskey (R-Carver). “The schools have every resource they need available to them. If there is a signifi cant problem and parents need to be involved, translators are always available. The state wants to provide translators for non-English speakers but refuses to allow teachers to speak to parents when their children are suffering mental health breaks, declaring they are the opposite sex.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes SENATE APPROVES $61.4 BILLION FISCAL 2026 STATE BUDGET (S 3) Senate 38-2, approved a $61.4 billion fiscal 2026 state budget after three days of debate. The House has already approved a different version, and a House-Senate conference committee will eventually craft a compromise plan that will be presented to the House and Senate for considerBEACON | SEE PAGE 25

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 30, 2025 Page 25 BEACON | FROM PAGE 24 ation and then sent to Gov. Maura Healey. “This budget refl ects the Senate’s commitment to a commonwealth that carefully balances investing in our people with responsible money management so we can protect our residents, communities and economy for years to come,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “The Senate’s statewide approach to investment delivers resources to every part of the state and protects our most vulnerable residents, while our continued focus on education and mental health ensures that residents have the keys to unlock the doors of opportunity.” “This budget is a testament to the Senate’s collective values and our shared responsibility to invest in every community and every person in the commonwealth— from the Connecticut River Valley to Cape Cod,” said Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton), Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “By prioritizing education, transportation, health care and support for municipalities, we are not only addressing immediate needs but also laying the foundation for a more equitable and resilient commonwealth amid a time of great national turbulence and strife.” “Constituents and businesses from across my district are exhausted by Gov. Healey’s budget priorities that underfund core local services, overfund benefits for non-residents with billions of tax dollar and burden them with ever-increasing taxes and energy costs,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton), one of only two senators to vote against the budget. “Massachusetts residents are going to keep voting with their feet as they move out-of-state if we continue with the status quo – it’s unsustainable and must end.” (A “Yes” vote is for the budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes PRESCRIPTION DRUGS (S 3) Senate 34-5, approved an amendment that would allow Health Policy Commission regulators to place a maximum price limit on some medications, capping what patients, providers, pharmacies and others in Massachusetts would pay. “I was supportive of this amendment because of the impact high prescription drug prices have had on the most vulnerable in my community” said Sen. Pavel Payano (D-Lawrence). “Nobody should have to make a choice between paying their bills and paying for their prescriptions.” “While I agree with the intention behind this amendment, I believe that the subject matter needs to be addressed. I voted no … because I believe, given its magnitude, that it should go through the regular committee-review process,” said Sen. John Keenan (D-Quincy). “While versions of the legislation that this amendment refl ect have been fi led in previous sessions, this amendment includes new language that deserves a committee hearing and additional committee review.” “If this doesn’t belong in a budget, I’m not sure where else it belongs,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington). “This is having a profound effect on how we use our resources in the commonwealth, and if we don’t address this issue sooner rather than later, we will be in major trouble. Our hospitals are in major trouble because of this, our insurers are in major trouble, our state is in major trouble, so this, in my mind, is absolutely the right place for this.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes HUMAN TRAFFICKING (S 3) Senate 12-28, rejected an amendment that would mandate human traffi cking training for all hotel, motel, lodging house or bed and breakfast establishment employees in the Bay State, from the front desk to housekeeping and food service, in order to equip them to recognize and respond to traffi cking situations. The measure also requires these establishments to post in plain view, in the lobby and in any public restroom in their establishment, a written notice developed by the attorney general, which must include the national human traffi cking hotline telephone number. Amendment sponsor Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford) said the passage of the amendment will send a message to survivors that we support them. He noted that almost no one traffi cking people is in jail in Massachusetts and said that when people call him and ask him why, he doesn’t have an answer. Training front-line people in hotels to recognize traffi cking and posting a hotline number might give a victim a chance. He said he has worked with hundreds of survivors and advocates on this and they always stress why is there so much inaction on Beacon Hill. Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), who voted against the amendment, said the goals are laudable, but this is a situation where you really don’t create a mandate that every hotel employee, no matter their job, is required to be trained to recognize human traffi cking without extensive discussions with the labor unions that represent the employees. He noted this mandate could arguably involve tens of thousands of individuals.

A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No CAPITAL GAINS TAX DISTRIBUTION (S 3) Senate 5-34, rejected an amendment that would require any excess revenue in capital gains revenue over $1 billion to annually automatically be transferred as follows: 80 percent to the Rainy Day Fund; 10 percent to the state’s Pension Liability Fund; and 10 percent to the State Retiree Benefits Trust Fund. The amendment would replace a section that distributes 5 percent to the Rainy Day Fund; 90 percent to the state’s Pension Liability Fund; and 5 percent to the State Retiree Benefits Trust Fund. Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the amendment sponsor, said that putting only 5 percent into the stabilization fund at a time when we recognize there’s a possibility of a downturn in federal support for our budget is not a good idea. He noted we have a stabilization fund to ensure we have those resources when we need them. Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), who voted against the amendment, said the Rainy Day Fund is currently already funded at an impressive gold standard of $8.1 billion. He argued that putting the majority of the funds into the Pension Liability Fund would be wiser and would boost the state’s bond rating. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No INCREASE ESTATE/DEATH TAX EXEMPTION (S 3) Senate 5-34, rejected an amendment that would increase from $2 million to $5 million the amount of money that is tax exempt from the value of a person’s estate when calculating the state’s estate/ death tax that a person is required to pay following their death before distribution to any beneficiary. The increase to $5 million would be implemented over three years. Most Republicans are against any such tax and coined the name “death tax” to imply that the government taxes you even after you die. Most Democrats support the tax and call it an “estate tax” to imply that this tax is mostly paid by the wealthy. Amendment supporters said that Massachusetts is one of only 12 states that have an estate/ death tax and that the Bay State’s is the most aggressive of the 12. They said that in light of the high value of houses, with the average home price more than $500,000, the $1 million threshold of this “unfair and regressive” tax is too low and noted the federal tax exempts the first $12 million. They noted that Massachusetts is losing many residents who move to Florida and other states where this tax does not even exist. Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Marlborough) Senate Chair of the Committee on Revenue, said he voted against the increased exemption because the Legislature in a bipartisan manner already raised the threshold last session from $1 million to $2 million, providing tax relief to many middle class and working families. “Further raising the threshold would not only further reduce state revenue at a time when federal budget cuts are looming, but such a change would only make our tax system more regressive, disproportionately benefiting Massachusetts’ wealthiest families,” said Eldridge. (A “Yes” vote is for increasing the exemption to $5 million. A “No” vote is against increasing it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No ALLOW GOLD STAR MOTHERS TO RECEIVE ANNUITY EVEN OIF THEY REMARRY (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would repeal a current law that restricts a surviving spouse from receiving the Gold Star annuity if they remarry. “As we near Memorial Day, a day where we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation, we can never forget those they left behind,” said amendment sponsor Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield). “It is truly so cruel to me that these husbands and wives, who lost their loved ones, who have sacrificed so much themselves, are told that their sacrifice will no longer matters to the commonwealth if they decide to remarry.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes $400,000 FOR PEDIATRIC PALLIATIVE CARE (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment increasing funding for a pediatric palliative care program by $400,000 (from $10.4 to $10.8 million). This program provides invaluable comprehensive care for children living with life-limiting or end-of-life illnesses, BEACON | SEE PAGE 27

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 30, 2025 Page 27 BEACON | FROM PAGE 26 as well as support for their families. “I am proud to secure additional funding for this critical program which will help clear the waiting list for these services and support the staff who work with these children,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Sal DiDomenico(D-Everett). “Families who are seeking pediatric palliative care do not have time to wait on a waitlist. These children deserve quality care and support throughout the duration of their illness and at the end of their lives, and their families deserve the support they need as they face one of the most traumatic times of their lives. This program has been one of my top priorities during my 15 years in the Senate and I will continue to ensure that all families have access to these vital services.” (A Yes” vote is for the $400,000.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL HEALTHY PUBLIC COLLEGES (S 949) – The Higher Education Committee will hold a hearing on June 3rd to hear testimony and consider legislation that would establish a Green and Healthy Public College and University Building Planning Commission to evaluate and make recommendations on campus infrastructure -- focusing on energy effi ciency, indoor air quality, accessibility, life safety and overall public health. The proposal creates a trust fund to alleviate campus debt and lower student fees currently used to fi nance aging infrastructure. It also ensures long-term investments so that all public higher education campuses meet Green and Healthy standards by 2037. The bill prioritizes renovations for buildings in greatest need and addresses longstanding environmental and health inequities across campuses. “I fi led this bill because every student deserves to learn in an environment that is safe, healthy and sustainable,” said sponsor Sen. Jake Oliveira (D-Ludlow). “By investing in our public college and university infrastructure now, we can reduce student debt, eliminate health disparities and build a more equitable, climate-resilient future for higher education in Massachusetts.” SENIOR SHELTERS (H 787) – The Committee on Elder Aff airs will hold a hearing on June 24th to consider a bill that would establish a special commission to study the feasibility of dedicated senior shelters in Massachusetts. The commission would examine the unique needs of homeless seniors, evaluate existing resources and propose recommendations to address gaps in services and housing for this population. Supporters say that homeless seniors are a growing part of the homeless population in the Bay State. They note they face unique challenges and need specialized support because of limited retirement savings, rising housing costs and a lack of aff ordable housing options. Rep. Sean Reid (D-Lynn), the sponsor of the measure, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his bill. $500,000 FOR ENVIRONMENT - The Healey Administration announced nearly $500,000 in grants from the inaugural Environmental Justice Capacity Building Grant Program to help empower local organizations to build organizational capacity, strengthen local advocacy, advance community-driven solutions and improve the health and wellbeing of underserved communities. The Healey Administration said the grants represent an ongoing commitment to addressing environmental inequities and ensuring that all Massachusetts residents, particularly those in low-income and marginalized communities, have the tools and resources they need to tackle climate change and other environmental challenges. “We are committed to ensuring every community in Massachusetts has a seat at the table in shaping the decisions that impact our families and environment,” said Offi ce of Energy and Environmental Aff airs Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “From growing culturally relevant produce in community gardens to creating youth environmental employment opportunities – these organizations serve as vital resources in neighborhoods across Massachusetts.” $22.2 MILLION TO MODERNIZE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INTERNET – The Healey Administration announced $22.2 million in grants to upgrade internet access for 15,793 aff ordable housing units across 54 communities in Massachusetts. The projects will install modern fi ber-optic cables in public and aff ordable housing properties that will increase residents’ access to high-quality, reliable and aff ordable broadband service. “Massachusetts is leading the nation in its eff orts to improve internet access and adoption statewide,” said Massachusetts Interim Economic Development Secretary Ashley Stolba. “The Residential Retrofi t Program is a key component of our strategy to upgrade broadband infrastructure statewide and will expand economic opportunity to residents by enabling them to access essential online tools.” “The Residential Retrofit Program is an ambitious effort to revamp decades-old wiring affecting low-income families and we’re already seeing how much of an impact this work has had,” said Massachusetts Broadband Institute Director Michael Baldino. “This round of Residential Retrofi t Program grantees demonstrated a dedication to serving aff ordable housing residents and providing them with access needed to thrive in the digital age.” 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 fi led.
