She’d like to see more conservative limits on size, a cap on the number of data centers that could be built and data center companies being required to have businesses in Everett. “If you want a data center in Everett, bring your business to Everett,” she said. A data center is a facility that enables the internet by processing data, such as email, web searches and virtually everything pertaining to the internet.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 5, 2026 Page 3 Everett Offi cials Press Encore on Local Spending, Entertainment Before License Renewal By Neil Zolot T he City Council renewed the innholder’s license for the Encore Boston Harbor casino, despite expressing some dissatisfaction with how it’s being fulfi lled, at their meeting on Tuesday, May 26. “As a Council we have no connection with you,” now former Councillor-at-Large Wayne Matewsky told attending Encore Executive Director of Government Relations Eileen McAnneny. “It’s like you’re a separate city. The people of Everett thought we’d get a bigger bang out of this. I thought we’d get more.” He specifi ed a concern over the lack of entertainment or restaurants in the casino for people not interested in gambling. “When are you going to bring events in?” he asked. “We thought we’d have great entertainment, but that was fi ve years ago. If you go now there’s no entertainment. There’s nothing I know of for people not interested in gambling.” McAnneny answered that there were plans to have high-profile entertainment, but local businesses also off ering live entertainment objected, and Encore was required to sign an agreement prohibiting them from doing so. “We are not able to have live entertainment,” she said. City Council President Stephanie Smith questioned the amount of money the casino is spending on services that are provided or could be provided by local vendors and/or to promote local businesses. “We have multiple food businesses in the city; what can we do to bring them customers from outside the city?” she asked. “I’d like to see eff ort to bring people into the city and not spend their money just in the casino.” After the meeting, she told The Advocate,” They’re supposed to be spending $50,000 in promotional gift cards to Everett businesses so casino patrons will spend their money in the City, but what they’re doing is buying gifts cards for businesses in the casino. Those in-house gift cards don’t help businesses in Everett.” She also feels Encore is not sponsoring enough local cultural events and having 30% of the businesses inside the casino being from Everett is low. In discussion, McAnneny told her there are 567 Everett residents working in the casino, which represents 17% of their workforce, with 76 in management or supervisory positions. She also said Everett businesses in the casino pay rent.

These efforts include bundled solutions that combine energy savings with bill management programs, as well as opportunities to connect one-on-one with customer advocates at assistance events statewide. Following a cold winter, these outreach efforts will help customers during the high-heat months, when increased usage can drive higher electricity costs, and provide tools to track and better understand their energy use. National Grid’s program experts can also offer solutions to help with high bills, helping alleviate financial burdens for eligible customers. “From cooling tips to billing help, our teams are taking a proactive approach to ensure that our customers have the support they need to stay cool and to keep costs down throughout the summer season,” said National Grid Chief Customer Officer Bill Malee. Throughout the summer season, National Grid will provide customers with text alerts that will provide timely energy-saving tips during heat waves.

Lowering the thermostat below the desired setting will not cool a home faster and might result in unnecessary energy consumption. • Run fans with air-conditioning. Oscillating or box fans near air-conditioning vents can improve cold air flow throughout a room. • Close window coverings. Ambient sunlight can heat a room. Turning off unused lighting and drawing window blinds to reduce heat will keep air-conditioning from running more than needed. • Charge electric vehicles overnight. Shifting electric vehicle charging to overnight hours can earn customers offpeak charging rewards and reduce stress on the grid. • Visit ngrid.com/hereforyou. Learn about residential, multifamily and commercial energy efficiency programs and rebates and find more information on ways to save energy and reduce energy costs. Tips for improving energy efficiency at home: • Sign up for a Home Energy Assessment. National Grid connects customers with an energy specialist who will create a customized energy report and provide energy-saving products, such as advanced power strips, low-flow showerheads Everett area that also serve local residents. Pietrantonio also suggested contracts be given directly to Everett vendors, without a bidding process. “We are a publicly traded company with responsibilities to shareholders,” McAnneny answered. “We have to get a return on our investments.” In further discussion, Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins said that large companies have the knowledge and resources to bid on contracts that smaller, local companies don’t.

Properly insulating and sealing a home are cost-effective ways to boost energy efficiency. Weatherization can help lower heating and cooling costs by up to 15 percent and decrease drafts to improve comfort and humidity control all year long. Customers might qualify for 75-100% off approved insulation and air sealing improvements after completing a home energy assessment. • Replace incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, LED bulbs use up to 75% less energy, last up to 25 times longer than incandescent lighting and emit less heat. • Service cooling equipment. Proactively scheduling maintenance for central air-conditioning or heat pump systems helps ensure the unit is running efficiently before peak summer use. • Replace air filters. Check air filters every one to two months during the summer. Dirty filters can restrict airflow, forcing a system to work harder, reducing its efficiency. Clean filters help air-conditioners work better and last longer. • Vacuum air intake vents and keep them clear.

Eligible models can earn rewards through the ConnectedSolutions program for small temperature adjustments during the hottest days of summer. Instant rebates on smart thermostats are available through the Mass Save marketplace. • Prep for any planned time away from home. If there is a road trip or vacation on the calendar, take extra steps, such as turning up the thermostat to prevent air-conditioning from running while no one is home. Help with managing energy bills: National Grid offers various programs and services to help customers save energy, manage their bills and access financial assistance. National Grid customers can now sign up for a Payment Assistance Bundle. The bundle combines three helpful solutions to make it easier for managing energy costs and paying down past due amounts over a 12-month period. • Deferred payment agreement: Spread out past-due balance into future monthly payments. • Automatic monthly payments: Automatically deduct payments from your bank account each month and avoid missing due dates. • Budget plan: Break down take service very seriously.” “Are you saying Everett residents are not 5-star,” Capone shot back. “Are you looking down on the residents of Everett?” “I’m not, but Everett residents have to meet the standards of a 5-star resort,” McAnneny answered. “I guess we were 5-star when you wanted to do business with Everett,” Capone commented with the last word.

Smith told her previous feasibility signees were on the elementary schools and a Middle School, and a new study is a requirement of the MSBA to enter the funding process to rehabilitate an existing school or build a new one. She also said any reimbursement the City receives from the MSBA can be applied to the Feasibility Study.

By Bob Katzen HE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon Hill Roll Call records local senators’ votes on the only roll call from the week of May 25-29. There were no roll calls in the House last week. THE BATTLE OVER WHETHER STATE AUT DITOR DIANA DIZOLGIO CAN AUDIT THE LEGISLATURE (S 3104) The latest chapter was written last week about the ongoing saga on whether State Auditor Diana DiZoglio has the right to audit the House and the Senate. In the November 2024 election, voters approved Ballot Question 1 asking them if they favor allowing the state auditor to audit the Legislature. The question passed overwhelmingly by 72 percent of the vote. It has now been almost 19 months since the voters approved the audit but an audit has yet to take place. Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) and House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) have continued to delay the audit – arguing that an audit would violate the separation of powers in the state’s constitution. Last week, the Senate 33-6, approved resolutions, sponsored by Sens. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington) and Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough), requiring that the Senate provide some fi nancial information that DiZoglio has long requested. The resolutions laid out the history of its dispute with the auditor and made it clear that senators are limiting the records they will provide to those records discussed in recent litigation. “Resolved, that the Senate, in providing said records, does so voluntarily but does not concede that it may be audited pursuant to Section 12 of Chapter 11 of the General Laws without violating the Constitution of the commonwealth,” the resolutions say. “And be it further resolved, that the Senate reserves all its rights to object to any such audit, present or future, and on any grounds, including, but not limited to, that Chapter 250 of the Acts of 2024 violates the Senate’s constitutional rulemaking authority, separation of powers, legislative immunity and privilege and the legal presumption that statutes operate prospectively and cannot be applied retroactively in the absence of clear legislative intent.” All fi ve Senate Republicans, Sens.

DeCRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE May 29, June 5, 12, 2026 (R-Gloucester) voted against the resolutions while all the Democrats, except for Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford), voted in favor of them. Dooner said she doesn’t appreciate the implication by supporters of the resolutions that a “No” vote is voting against sharing these documents. She said the Senate doesn’t need a resolution to send the documents. She noted that the resolutions were proposed just a few minutes ago and senators have not had enough time to properly go through them. She said that she supports sharing all of these documents and any other documents that are requested. Senate Democrats said last week’s action stems from clarity gained at the Supreme Judicial Court earlier this month, as Attorney General Andrea Campbell intervened in a lawsuit DiZoglio fi led against top lawmakers. The four document requests that Campbell has cleared DiZoglio to pursue cover the offi cial budgets for each chamber of the Legislature for fi scal years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024; copies of offi cial audits of each chamber for the same fi scal years; a listing of all transactions related to each chamber’s balance forward line item for those fi scal years; and a list of all monetary settlement agreements entered into by each chamber with any current or former employees or elected members during the same timeframe. “Recent guidance from the Supreme Judicial Court has provided much-needed clarity on the materials the auditor has requested,” said Friedman. “We are therefore moving forward in good faith while remaining mindful of the constitutional safeguards that protect the separation of powers. The Senate has consistently supported transparency and accountability with respect to taxpayer dollars. That’s why our fi nances are publicly reported, and our spending information is available online.” Friedman continued, “We believe this approach strikes the right balance of responding to the call for enhanced public transparency while upholding the oath we each take to the Massachusetts Constitution—and will allow us to continue our focus on delivering meaningful policy change for the residents of the commonwealth.” “This resolution is not an act of transparency—it is a political retreat disguised as accountability, complete with a built-in escape hatch the Senate can pull at any time,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) who voted against the resolutions. “For two whole years, the clear will of the people (72 percent of voters) has been ignored, and only now, with the courts poised to compel an audit, does leadership suddenly attempt to appear aligned with the public. Buried within this resolution is language explicitly reserving the Senate’s right to object to any audit at any time and on any grounds, undermining the very accountability they claim to support. That is not reform. It is the same political game of last resort cooperation and calculated distraction, timed conveniently days ahead of the Democratic State Convention.” “Today, the Senate took action in the name of transparency and an accountable state government,” said Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton). “Thanks to clarity from the Supreme Judicial Court, our fi nancial documents will soon be on their way to the Offi ce of the State Auditor.” “The Senate spent a year and a half ignoring the law,” said Aaron Singer, the producer and director of the documentary “Shadows on the Hill.” “They lost in court and are now presenting bare-minimum compliance as reform. Instead of complying with the audit voters approved, their resolution turns over only the four categories of records already in court, while preserving their ability to keep fi ghting full compliance.” DiZoglio criticized the Senate action. “It’s really sad that Senate leadership is so detached from reality that they think anyone believes they’ve suddenly agreed to give me these specifi c records for any reason other than that the court is about to lay down the law, again, and order them to obey the people’s wishes,” she said. “But this is not a public records request, it’s an audit. So, for an audit to actually be conducted, the Legislature needs to comply and cooperate with our audit team. The Senate President has just asked her membership to vote that they do not acknowledge and will not cooperate with the 72 percent voter-mandated law — that’s not leadership, it’s obstruction.” (A “Yes” vote is for the resolutions. A “No” vote is against the resolutions.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL MOST INCUMBENT LEGISLATORS HAVE NO OPPONENT – Last week was the deadline for candidates for state representative and state senator to fi le their nomination papers with Secretary of State Bill Galvin’s offi ce. Each candidate for the House needed 150 verifi ed signatures to qualify while each Senate candidate needed 300. There are 200 seats (160 House seats and 40 Senate seats) up for grabs in the upcoming 2026 state election but only 83 of those (41.5 percent) will be contested, according to Secretary of State’s Bill Galvin’s offi ce. In the remaining 117 districts, only the incumbent is on the ballot in 115 districts while there are two House districts where the incumbent is not running, but only one non-incumbent candidate is running for the seat. That means that there are 25 incumbent senators (62.5 percent of the 40 total seats) and 90 incumbent representatives (56.2 percent of the 160 total seats) who will not face any challenger in the September 1 primary election or the November 3 general election.

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO HAMMER OUT A COMPROMISE VERSION OF THE FISCAL 2027 STATE BUDGET – Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) and House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) have named the members of the six-member House-Senate conference committee charged with hammering out a compromise version of the separate fiscal 2027 state budget versions approved by each branch. The price tag of the House version is $63.41 billion while the Senate version logs in at $63.37 billion. There are some major differences between the two chambers which will have to be ironed out by the committee. Mariano appointed House Ways and Means Committee chair Rep. Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston) and Reps. Kip Diggs (D-Barnstable) and Todd Smola (R-Warren). Spilka appointed Senate Ways and Means Committee chair Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport) and Sens. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton) and Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth). PROHIBIT RECORDING OR BROADCASTING WHILE DRIVING (H 3748) – A bill that would prohibit an operator of a motor vehicle from recording, broadcasting or otherwise capturing images or video of themselves while driving, is stuck in the Bills in Third Reading Committee. The measure was given initial approval by the House, on a voice vote, without a roll call, on February 26 and has been lingering in committee for more than three months. “I sponsored the bill because I believe it will reduce the extent of distracted driving which unfortunately seems to be occurring more frequently, particularly with the continuous advent of new technology,” said sponsor Rep. Brian Murray (D-Milford). $1 MILLION TO PROTECT RESIDENTS FROM HOUSING DISCRIMINATION – Gov. Maura Healey announced the awarding of $1 million from the first Fair Housing Trust Fund to seven organizations working to eliminate housing discrimination and expand access to fair housing protections across the Bay State. Supporters said the awards will support enforcement, education, outreach, testing, legal advocacy, language access, fair housing planning and innovative projects to address emerging forms of housing discrimination. They noted that these grants are the first awards made through the state’s Fair Housing Trust Fund and come as the federal government has retreated from fair housing enforcement, making state leadership more important than ever. “Massachusetts is hustling to build more homes in every region, but we need to also make sure that every resident has a fair chance to access it,” said Gov. Healey. “At a time when the Trump Administration is stepping back from fair housing enforcement, Massachusetts is stepping up to protect residents from discrimination and expand access to housing. These first Fair Housing Trust Fund awards will help organizations across our state continue the important work of making housing more fair, accessible and equitable for everyone.” “Housing affordability and fair housing must go hand in hand,” said Secretary of Housing and Livable Communities Juana Matias. “As we work to increase housing supply across Massachusetts, we must also ensure that residents know their rights, housing providers understand their responsibilities and discrimination is identified and addressed. These awards are directly informed by what we heard from residents, advocates, service providers and local leaders during our Fair Housing Regional Listening Sessions. They will strengthen fair housing infrastructure, improve language access and help communities address both longstanding and emerging barriers to housing.” BAY STATE UBER AND LYFT DRIVERS FORM A UNION —Rideshare drivers in the Bay State, including Uber and Lyft, have become the first statewide rideshare union in the nation to win official recognition. Supporters say the union, known as App Drivers Union (ADU), will create a path to negotiate better pay and job protections on behalf of nearly 70,000 rideshare drivers across the state. They note that this new union is the largest private workforce to win union recognition since the United Auto Workers did so at Ford in 1941. “I never dreamed that this day would happen,” said Victoria Acosta, a member leader of the ADU. “I once thought it was impossible that we would have a seat at the table with these two big corporations in front of us. But nothing is impossible when you are united. For me, it is a dream come true, seeing the hard work of all my colleagues collecting cards, talking to the drivers and making sure we can achieve what we dream. It was worth it because now we have our union.” “This is one of the biggest organizing victories for labor unions in the last century,” said Autumn Weintraub, executive director of the ADU. “Big Tech spent years taking from drivers and writing the rules. Today, 70,000 Massachusetts rideshare drivers won because they wrote our own rules and won the union. Now, for the first time, the app companies have to listen to the workers who make them their money. This is not just a victory for rideshare drivers, but a warning shot to every Big Tech billionaire: Working people are united and are willing to fight for more.” 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.

It will also reduce open space between the Parlin Library and the intersection. In discussion, Pietrantonio noted that flagpoles and memorials would be pushed back closer to Parlin.

As Chair of the Life Sciences Caucus, it’s a priority of the Senator’s to ensure our life sciences sector is thriving, and importantly, that it is creating a pipeline for a diverse workforce filled with talented individuals from all our state’s many communities. • $190,000 for Bunker Hill Community College’s Boston Welcome Back Center. This innovative program ensures nurses trained in other places can get trained to become registered nurses here in Massachusetts. This ensures the Commonwealth has all the trained professionals it needs to support patients. Senator DiDomenico’s statewide priorities included in this year’s budget: The budget makes historic investments in cities and towns through record levels of Chapter 70 school aid — which helps support the full range of school expenses from teachers to school supplies — and Unrestricted General Government Aid (UGGA), which local leaders can use as flexible spending for everything from paving sidewalks to hiring police officers. DiDomenico has been a longtime champion for school funding, and this year’s budget completes the Legislature’s promise to fully fund and implement the Student Opportunity Act with $7.66 billion in funding for local school districts — an increase of $297 million over last fiscal year — along with a record $160-per-pupil minimum for local school aid. It also boosts UGGA by $53 million, distributed through a new method based on population, while formally starting the process of reforming the UGGA distribution formula to be more equitable and move forward from an outdated system that has left some municipalities behind. The budget reconvenes the Foundation Budget Review Commission (FBRC) to examine the current K-12 funding formula and assess new ways to address rising costs in special education, student transportation, personnel and educator health care. It also establishes a commission to study public school construction financing through the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) to ensure grant funding is allocated responsibly and equitably. This has been a concern of DiDomenico’s since his communities have been exploring new school buildings. Housing for our residents is always a big issue for SenPenta, Patricia L ator DiDomenico. This budget builds on last session’s Affordable Homes Act (AHA) with provisions to streamline local permitting, support development on nonconforming properties, provide reasonable timelines for projects to move forward under existing zoning rules and modernize the variance standard — all aimed at meeting housing demand and driving down costs. DiDomenico is greatly concerned about food insecurity and economic security. Through his efforts the budget directs over $265 million towards these areas: $148 million for Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) caseworkers to maintain Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) integrity and comply with new federal requirements; $55 million for Emergency Food Assistance, which assists all food banks; and $29.7 million for the Healthy Incentives Program (HIP), which supports local farmers and healthy food access. DiDomenico also advocated for this budget to fully annualize recent benefit increases through Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children (TAFDC) and Emergency Aid to the Elderly, Disabled and Children (EAEDC) to fight deep poverty. This includes a $500 clothing allowance per child for families receiving TAFDC benefits. Through DiDomenico’s efforts this fundSELLER2 ADDRESS 7 Hampshire St 20 Ferry St #B 1 Elwood St CITY Everett Everett Everett ing has been distributed to the Commonwealth’s individuals and families who are living in deep poverty. Additional investments include the following: improved safety standards at assisted living residences (in response to the tragic 2025 Gabriel House fire in Fall River); expanded affordability in higher education through Senate-led programs like MassEducate; and full funding for jail diversion programs connecting individuals with mental illness and substance use disorders to appropriate treatment — improving lives and strengthening public safety.
