H.2909 would grant disability to first responders who are unable to work due to PTSD presumed to have been obtained in the line of duty by a medical professional certified to diagnose mental conditions. This is the third session in which Rep. McGonagle has filed this bill. “Our first responders are constantly exposed to horrific scenes while protecting the community,” said McGonagle. “Some of these stories make the news but many we never hear and we can never know the trauma and suffering they endure. First responders are everyday heroes and it is our duty to help them as they help us. This bill ensures that they will know we hear them, want to listen and support them.” H.2909 is heavily supported by the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts (PFFM) though the bill covers an array of first responders aside from firefighters. The bill remains in the Joint Committee on Public Service as it awaits a report from the Committee. 50 State Rep.

Kenneth Munoz, 27, was sentenced by U.S. Senior District Court Judge William G. Young to 70 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release. In December 2024, Munoz pleaded guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of ammunition. On the afternoon of Jan. 2, 2022, three individuals fired over 20 shots in an Everett neighborhood, during which multiple houses were struck by stray bullets. Munoz was identified as one of the shooters. Due to prior convictions, including a 2017 state conviction for assault and battery on a family member and malicious destruction of property, Munoz is prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition. United States Attorney Leah B. Foley; James M. Ferguson, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Boston Field Division; Everett Police Chief Paul Strong; and Chelsea Police Chief Keith E.

Page 4 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 6, 2025 Defendant fled to El Salvador following 2010 murder, illegally reentered U.S. and planned second murder OSTON – A member of La Mara Salvatrucha, or MS13, pleaded guilty yesterday in federal court in Boston to conspiracy to participating in a racketeering enterprise, more commonly referred to as RICO or racketeering conspiracy. William Pineda Portillo, a/k/a “Humilde,” 31, of Everett, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to conduct racketeering affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity. Senior U.S. District Court Judge William G. Young scheduled sentencing for July 8, 2025. In B September 2024, Pineda Portillo was charged by a second superseding indictment along with co-defendant Jose Vasquez, who pleaded guilty last week to one count of violent crime in aid of racketeering. MS-13 is a transnational criminal organization with tens of thousands of members located in the United States, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and elsewhere. MS13 branches, or “cliques,” operate throughout the United States, including in MassachuLawrence A. Simeone Jr. Attorney-at-Law ~ Since 1989 ~ * Corporate Litigation * Criminal/Civil * MCAD * Zoning/Land Court * Wetlands Litigation * Workmen’s Compensation * Landlord/Tenant Litigation * Real Estate Law * Construction Litigation * Tax Lien * Personal Injury * Bankruptcy * Wrongful Death * Zoning/Permitting Litigation 300 Broadway, Suite 1, Revere * 781-286-1560 lsimeonejr@simeonelaw.net setts. In furtherance of its mission, MS-13 members are required to commit acts of violence, specifically against rival gang members; kill informants; and support and defend fellow MS-13 members in attacks. MS13 members maintain and enhance their status in the gang and the overall reputation of the gang by participating in such violent acts. Pineda Portillo was a member of the Trece Locos Salvatrucha, or TLS, clique of MS-13, which operated in Somerville. Pineda Portillo personally participated in racketeering activity and acts of violence on behalf of MS-13. Specifically, Pineda Portillo and Vasquez conspired with others to murder a 28-year-old man on Dec. 18, 2010, in Chelsea, Mass. That evening, law enforcement responded to a 911 call in the vicinity of the Fifth Street on-ramp to Route 1 in Chelsea. There, law enforcement found the victim with approximately 10 stab wounds to his chest and back, along with injuries to his head. The victim was transported to the hospital, where he succumbed to his wounds. A recent reexamination of evidence collected during the initial investigation identified members of MS-13, including Vasquez, as having committed the murder. In the week leading up to the incident, Vasquez and other MS-13 members conspired to murder the victim because they believed the victim belonged to a rival gang. Evidence revealed that on the day of the murder, Pineda Portillo picked up Vasquez, other MS13 members and the victim in Allston. Driving a green SUV registered to his father, Pineda Portillo took the MS-13 members and the victim to Chelsea where Vasquez and the other gang members led the victim to an area under the Fifth Street on-ramp to Route 1. Once in the secluded area under the highway, an MS-13 member hit the victim in the head with a rock and another MS-13 member stabbed the victim with a machete. During the attack, Vasquez stabbed the victim with a knife. Vasquez’s palm print was identified on the handle of a silver kitchen knife recovered from the murder scene. The victim’s blood also was found on the knife. Pineda Portillo fled to El Salvador before investigators could interview him about his role in the murder. On or about April 29, 2015, after Pineda Portillo returned to the United States, he arranged to sell a firearm loaded with eight rounds of ammunition to another MS-13 member, who was, in reality, a cooperating witness working with law enforcement, in exchange for money. On or about June 1, 2015, Pineda Portillo conspired to murder an MS-13 member he incorrectly believed had been arrested and was cooperating with law enforcement. Specifically, in a conversation recorded by law enforcement, Pineda Portillo said, among other things: “I want that son of a bitch killed, man. . . . You will see, homeboy! We are going to do a complete thing to that son of a bitch, dude.” Pineda Portillo originally was indicted in 2017. However, shortly before the indictment was returned, he was deported to El Salvador. Approximately five years later, on May 10, 2022, Pineda Portillo was arrested as he tried to return to the United States, illegally crossing the border into Texas from Mexico. According to court documents, after being arrested at the border, Pineda Portillo admitted that he was a member of MS-13. A fingerprint analysis indicated that there was a warrant for his arrest. Pineda Portillo was then returned to the District of Massachusetts where he remained in custody. United States Attorney Leah B.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 6, 2025 Page 5 Hydrant flushing throughout the city extended through June 27 Flushing will take place Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Special to The Advocate T he City of Everett’s Water Department will continue flushing water mains throughout the city through Friday, June 27, 2025. Hydrant flushing will be performed weekly, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. The purpose of flushing is to remove sediment buildup in the mains and to verify the safe operation of hydrants and valves. Hydrant flushing might result in temporary discoloration of the water caused by small particles that dislodge during the flushing, as well as a temporary reduction in pressure. Discolored water will be temporary and is not harmful. However, the discolored water might stain laundry, especially white materials. Therefore, please avoid doing laundry during the noted flushing period. Before washing clothes, including times after the hours stated in this notice, please check the cold water for possible discoloration. If the water is discolored, let the cold water run for a few minutes until the water becomes clear. If it does not clear at that time, try again later. Unfortunately, the City cannot fully guarantee the safety of doing laundry or the possibility of discoloration even during the evenings and other times of the day, as the water system has been disturbed. Therefore, please check the water carefully before doing laundry and inspect the laundry before drying it. The Water Department appreciates the patience of residents as the City works to continue to improve the quality of the drinking water. For more information, please call the Water Department at 617-394-2327.

The needs of our residents are what inform all the budget decisions we make. This budget continues to invest in our physical infrastructure, our public safety resources, and the fi xed costs that come with being an employer.

The School Department budget is $142,154,420, with other expenses at $82,989,550. Combined that is $225,143,970 with the rest of the budget accounted for through self-sustaining enterprise funds. The Department of Public Works budget is $16,991,272. In its eight sections, $5,149,090 is for Solid Waste; $2,842,492 for the Facilities Division; $2,748,214 for the Executive Division; $2,630,724 for Parks and Cemeteries; $1,828,879 for the Highway Division; $1,170,373 for the Engineering Division; $585,000 for Snow and Ice and $36,500 for Everett Stadium. The Police budget is rising from $20,256,111.25 in Fiscal Year 2025 to $21,793,204 in Fiscal Year 2026, including increases in salaries from $19,777,342 to $20,970,829 and increases in a number of expenses, including Animal Control from $7,800 to $50,000 and Ticket Printing from $21,000 to $30,000. Even Meals for Prisoners are going up: from $5,500 to $6,500. In discussion at the City Council’s Budget Subcommittee (of the Whole) meeting Tuesday, June 3, Council President and Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins asked Police Chief Paul Strong if the number of employees, about 125, is adequate for proper deployment around the city. “I don’t want to give away any tactical information, but we have a suffi cient amount of offi cers working each shift,” he answered. Martins also asked if there were plans to euthanize found dogs, a rumor around the city. “I can’t support that,” she said. “That is not accurate,” Strong answered. “I don’t know where you’re getting that information, but we are not euthanizing dogs. If a dog is not claimed, we call Animal Rescue.” He explained that rising expenses in Animal Control are due to using a new kennel in Revere, which is staff ed around the clock. “One of my concerns is Everett doesn’t have its own kennel,” Councillor-at-Large Katy Rogers interjected. “Is there a way we could do that?” Strong answered that some communities do have their own kennels, but establishing a municipal one in Everett would require a study and expenses. Rogers also asked if any of the budget is being used to aid the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. “Not at all,” Strong answered. “We are not using any funds to aid ICE.” “That will be a relief to a lot of our constituents,” Rogers feels. Councillor-at-Large Guerline Alcy Jabouin asked Strong if ICE agents are meeting in the police station. Strong told her, “Sometimes they do to get their assignments and leave, and we don’t see them for the rest of the day.” “Are we sharing information with them?” Alcy Jabouin continued. “No,” Strong answered. She also asked about provisions to hire Everett residents in the Police Department. “Anyone who takes the test has to be a resident of Everett,” Strong answered, but DeMaria added that people can move to Everett, take the test to apply for a job and then move out. “I don’t like that, but Everett has a sought-after Police Department,” he said. “It’s probably the most sought-after in the Commonwealth.” Strong said the support of the community for the Police Department is one reason for that. In further discussion, DeMaria said it might be possible to bargain with the unions over the issue, but he isn’t sure it’s legal to require a specifi c term of residency. The Fire Department budget is rising from $17,952,824.57 in Fiscal Year 2025 to $18,253,770 in Fiscal Year 2026, including salaries rising from $17,260,317 to $17,633,270. However, the line item for Ambulance Services is dropping from $125,000 to $0. “We had an operating fund to pay for expenses, but it’s started to generate its own funding,” Fire Chief John Hickey explained.

Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 6, 2025 EVENTS | FROM PAGE 10 Asset Protection Concerns with IRA’s T he Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) protects assets held in a qualifi ed retirement plan from the reach of creditors. What about IRA’s? Are they a protected asset? The trend in recent years has been to bring IRA’s in line with qualifi ed plans in terms of protection against creditors. contribute to an IRA is $7,000. For anyone 50 years or older, the additional catch-up contribution is $1,000. These same limitations apply to Roth IRA’s. Individuals who receive compensation (e.g. W-2 income), In Patterson v. Shumate, 504 U.S. 753 (1992), the Supreme Court ruled that an interest in an ERISA qualifi ed trust is excluded from a debtor’s bankruptcy estate. In Rousey v. Jacoway, 544 U.S. 320 (2005), the Court ruled that Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA’s) are similarly exempt. Subsequently, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 amended the Bankruptcy Code to provide that IRA’s and Roth IRA’s are exempt up to certain limits that are adjusted every three years. The latest update in March of this year brought the level of protection up to $1,711,975. In Massachusetts, under Mass General Laws, Chapter 235, Section 34A, amounts that have been rolled over from a qualifi ed retirement plan into an IRA are protected from all creditors’ claims other than those connected with divorce, child support, or criminal penalties or restitution. This is exactly the same degree of protection as is provided by the statute for qualified plans. If you roll money from your 401(k) plan into an IRA account that includes non-ERISA contributions, the liability protection level will not be unlimited. Liability protection will be limited to $1,711,975. This is an example of a co-mingled IRA account. IRA contributions other than rollovers made during the 5-year period preceding the IRA owner’s declaration of bankruptcy are protected only to the extent of an amount equal to 7% of the individual’s income during that 5-year period. For the calendar year 2025, the maximum amount you can including alimony, that is includible in gross income, are entitled to make contributions to Traditional or Roth IRA’s per the SECURE Act of 2019, regardless of age. Previously, the age limit was 70 ½. When you or your spouse are an active participant in a qualifi ed retirement plan, the deduction may be reduced or even eliminated depending on how high your adjusted gross income is. You need to make the contribution by 4-15-26 for a calendar year 2025 deduction. Filing for an extension will not give you extra time to make the IRA contribution for calendar year 2025. For married individuals filing joint returns, if both taxpayers are active participants in an employer’s qualifi ed retirement plan, their ability to claim a deduction for contributions made to traditional IRA’s depends upon the amount of their modifi ed adjusted gross income. The allowable deduction will be reduced when modified adjusted gross income is between $126,000 and $146,000. For a single taxpayer, the deduction for an IRA is phased out if he or she is an active participant in a qualifi ed retirement plan and modifi ed adjusted gross income is between $79,000 and $89,000. However, if only one of the married taxpayers is an active participant in a qualified retirement plan, the deductible contribution by the spouse who is not an active participant is phased out if the couple’s modifi ed adjusted gross income is between $236,000 and $246,000. Knowing that you not only get a tax deduction for a contribution to a Traditional IRA and that the IRA account is exempt from creditors, one might have one more reason to contribute each year to an IRA.

Dear Savvy Senior, I take Advil pretty regularly for arthritis pain and headaches, but how can I tell if I’m taking more than is safe? Achy Alan Dear Alan, Ibuprofen – better known by one of its brand names, Advil – is one of the most popular medications on the market today for treating all diff erent types of pain, headaches, fevers and cramps. Given the drug’s broad pain-reducing effects, safety record and availability over the counter (OTC), it’s no surprise that some people pop the little brownish-red tablets whenever they feel the slightest twinge of discomfort. But ibuprofen, which is also sold under brand names like Motrin and Nuprin, can pose certain health risks, especially for those with kidney or stomach issues. Here’s what you should know. What’s Safe? For most adults and children ages 12 years and older, the recommended OTC dose of ibuprofen is one (or two, if needed) 200-milligram tablets, caplets or gel caplets every four to six hours while symptoms persist. You shouldn’t take more than 1,200 mg (or six pills) in a 24-hour period. If you haven’t consulted a doctor about how much is safe, or if you aren’t certain about your risk factors, it’s best not to exceed the recommended limit of 1,200 milligrams a day. If you have chronic pain, or were recently injured or had surgery, your doctor may prescribe ibuprofen for you at a higher dose. Prescription tablets are usually stronger compared to the OTC dose, such as 600 mg and 800 mg. The maximum daily dose for prescription-strength ibuprofen is 3,200 mg in a 24-hour period. But it’s important only to take what your provider has prescribed for you. Also be aware that ibuprofen is sometimes added to certain cold and fl u medications, so always read the ingredient list on medications before using them. Be Cautious! Ibuprofen belongs to a class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, which reduce pain and infl ammation by blocking the activity of certain enzymes. But these enzymes also help maintain kidney and liver function and regulate the balance of fl uids and electrolytes in your body. So, taking ibuprofen can be dangerous for patients with kidney disease or failure; those with liver damage or cirrhosis; and people with conditions that put strain on their kidneys, like high blood pressure or heart failure. Those at high risk for these conditions – as well as for stomach ulcers, heart attacks, strokes or bleeding problems – should talk with their doctors before taking ibuprofen. People who take medications such as diuretics, anticoagulants, ACE inhibitors or ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers) to manage cardiovascular issues should also be careful, because ibuprofen stresses the kidneys and the heart. To reduce these health risks, don’t take the maximum recommended dose for more than a week or two at a time. If you need it for more than two weeks, or if you’re turning to ibuprofen every day to keep your aches and pains in check, you need to see your doctor. When taken for long periods, ibuprofen can also increase the risk of stomach ulcers. The drug inhibits enzymes that, among other things, aid in the production of mucus that lines and protects the stomach lining, so without these enzymes, the stomach becomes vulnerable to irritation and damage. Some alternatives to ibuprofen you should talk to your doctor about include acetaminophen (Tylenol), topical NSAIDs (diclofenac gel) that is not absorbed into the blood to the same extent as oral NSAIDs, nonacetylated salicylates, curcumin (an active ingredient in turmeric) and acupuncture.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 6, 2025 Page 17 OBITUARY Crimson Tide baseball turns the corner for a brighter future After finishing up with three wins and a couple of close losses, Everett sophomore ace pitcher Derek Soper makes the GBL all-star team By Joe McConnell S ophomore Derek Soper is the lone Greater Boston League (GBL) all-star on this year’s Everett High School baseball team. “I’m so proud of him, and I can’t wait to see him only get better the next two years,” said coach Malik Love of Soper, who also plays AAU baseball in the off-season. The Crimson Tide finished up the season with an 8-12 record, just missing the postseason by two games. They lost seven out of their last eight games, but two of them were just by one run. If they were able to turn those close losses around, they would have qualified for the Division 1 state tournament, which would have been a good thing for the seven returning players on the roster. They would have had a taste of what it’s like to play beyond Memorial Day. Ironically, in both those one run losses, Soper was on the mound. He was the ace of the staff, who was responsible for three of the team’s wins this year, including the last game of the season against nonleague Greater Lawrence, when he shut out the Reggies, EVENTS | FROM PAGE 16 a good story?

Overall, he ended up with a 3-3 record. “It was a great way to finish the season,” said Love after the Greater Lawrence game. “We were able to send our eight seniors off the right way, and hopefully we will be able to use this win to roll into next year with the guys coming back and coming up from the JVs.” The next two years is shaping up to be quite promising for Love’s team, led by not only Soper on the mound, but also current freshman M.J. Freni, who will be back throwing strikes, once again. “(Soper and Freni) were our two best pitchers this year,” said Love, who says he hopes this resurgence of young talent that’s now in the program will keep future Tide players in the city playing for their local public high school. Both of these underclassmen will be among those seven aforementioned returnees on next year’s varsity team, along with at least several more, who are ready to make the leap from this year’s JV squad. It definitely has the potential to be the beginning of a new age in Crimson Tide baseball. “It was a great season for us Around Everett Connolly Center Book Group: Connolly Center Meeting Room, Thursday, June 12, at 12 p.m.; a discussion of “Same Time Next Summer” by Annabel Monaghan.

Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 6, 2025 THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon Hill Roll Call records local senators’ votes on the only roll call from the week of May 26-30. There were no roll calls in the House last week. $189.6 MILLION FOR CHILDCARE (S 2521) Senate 39-0, approved, House approved on a voice vote without a roll call, and Gov. Maura Healey signed into law a $189.6 fi scal 2025 supplemental budget that provides $95.6 million for the Department of Children and Families and Department of Transitional Assistance-related childcare, and another $94 million for income-eligible childcare. Supporters said the additional funding is necessary because of the diffi culty of advance funding, with precision, these childcare accounts that are “caseload driven.” “For our early education and care providers, without the authorization of such spending, our providers will not receive their scheduled June childcare fi nancial assistance that’s due them,” said Senate Ways and Means Chair Sen Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport). “Passing this supplemental budget ensures families across Massachusetts continue to receive the affordable, high-quality childcare they depend on,” said Sen. Dylan Fernandes (D-Falmouth). “Investing in early education and care isn’t just about helping children thrive — it’s about supporting working parents and building a stronger economy.” The Senate approved the bill as Rodrigues was showing visiting New Bedford fourth graders around the Senate chamber. “Just like that, we spent $189 million,” Rodrigues told them. (A “Yes” vote is for the $189.6 million for childcare.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes CITY OF EVERETT ~ Legal Notice ~ ~ Legal Notice ~ PUBLIC HEARING FOR PETITION FROM MASSACHUSETTS ELECTRIC COMPANY D/B/A NATIONAL GRID OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS To all parties interested in the public hearing. Be it hereby ordered: Massachusetts Electric Company d/b/a National Grid of North Andover, Massachusetts requests permission to construct a line of underground electric conduits, including the necessary sustaining and protecting fixtures, under and across the public way or ways hereinafter named. The following are the streets and highways referred to: No. # 31121198 – Revere Street - National Grid to install underground facilities on Revere Street beginning at a point approximately 35 feet Southwest of the centerline of the intersection of Revere Street and Chelsea Street and continuing approximately 110 feet in a Southerly direction. National Grid to install approximately 90’ of 2-4” conduit from existing manhole B-751 to private property and approximately 110’ of 2-4” conduit from existing manhole B-751 to pole #1655-0 to provide a permanent underground service at 51 Chelsea Street. Everett, MA Wherefore it prays that after due notice and hearing as provided by law, it be granted permission to excavate the public highways and to run and maintain underground electric conduits, together with such sustaining and protecting fixtures as it may find necessary for the transmission of electricity, said underground conduits to be located substantially in accordance with the plan filed herewith marked - Revere Street - Everett - Massachusetts. Hearing to be held with the Everett City Council, held on Monday at 7:00PM, on the 23rd of June, 2025 at the Everett City Council Chambers, 3rd Floor, Everett City Hall. June 06, 2025 ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL CONTAGIOUS DISEASES AND POLICE, FIREFIGHTERS AND EMERGENCY PERSONNEL (H 2961) – The Public Service Committee held a hearing on a bill that would provide that police, fire and EMT personnel making claims for death, disability or medical services from contagious diseases – who did not evidence any such condition at the time of entry into service – will be presumed to have acquired these contagious conditions in the line of duty. If it can be shown that non-service-connected risk factors accidents, or hazards caused such incapacity, the presumption can be rebutted. The list of diseases includes COVID-19, Hepatitis A, B or C, TB, HIV and other conditions found by the Commissioner of Public Health to have a statistically signifi cant correlation with police, fi re or emergency medical service. The bill would expand current law which establishes that disability or death of public safety personnel resulting from certain conditions of cancer, as well as disease of the lungs/respiratory tract, is presumed to be caused in the line of duty. Co-sponsor Rep. Greg Schwartz (D-Newton) said that as a physician he understands the increased risk these public service workers face of contracting infectious diseases. “We ask our fi rst responders to engage with the public in situations that often carry increased risk of personal harm to the responder,” said Schwartz. “They perform invaluable, often lifesaving, service to strangers in the line of duty. It is the least we can do to acknowledge the risk to themselves that they take on to serve others in times of need, and we should support them when that service likely is the cause of disease, disability or death.” PTSD AND POLICE, FIREFIGHTERS AND EMERGENCY PERSONNEL (S 1821) – Another bill before the Public Service Committee would require that the disability or death of police, fi re or various other public safety personnel resulting from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is presumed to have been suffered in the line of duty. “This legislation is needed to safeguard the health and well-being of our public safety personnel who are on the front lines daily to protect their community members,” said Sen. Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett). “Thanking these public servants is not enough. We need to put action behind our words and make real improvements by passing bills … which would support those dealing with PTSD and reduce stigma around mental health.” 4-DAY WORK WEEK PILOT PROGRAM (S 1330) - The Labor and Workforce Development Committee held a hearing on legislation that would create a voluntary 4-day work week pilot program in the Bay State. Participating employers would transition employees to a 4-day work week without any reduction in pay, status or benefi ts. Private employers that complete at least one year in the pilot program and meet reporting requirements, may qualify for state tax credits. Public employers can participate but are not eligible for tax credits. “Americans are overstressed and overworked,” said Sen. Dylan Fernandes (D-Falmouth). “The data shows that a 4-day work week creates a happier workforce, fuels company productivity and helps businesses attract top talent. This pilot program studies its effi cacy in Massachusetts to determine whether the 4-day work week could benefi t commonwealth employees and businesses.” PAID PRENATAL LEAVE (S BEACON | SEE PAGE 19

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 6, 2025 Page 19 BEACON | FROM PAGE 18 1361) – Another proposal heard by the Labor and Workforce Development Committee would require employers to provide up to 24 hours of paid prenatal leave per year for pregnant individuals, and up to ten hours for their partners, to support attendance at medical appointments and related care. The proposal is modeled after a similar policy adopted in New York and aims to provide more flexibility for working families to access critical prenatal care. “I sponsored this bill because expanding prenatal leave helps ensure healthier pregnancies and better birth outcomes,” said sponsor Sen. Jake Oliveira (D-Ludlow). “When we give families the time they need for early care, we strengthen not just individual health but also public health and workplace stability.” INSURANCE COMPANIES MUST NOTIFY DRIVERS (H 1200) – The Financial Services Committee held a hearing on legislation that would require insurance companies to provide a written notification to customers when the company charges a fee to process an electronic payment transaction for an automobile insurance policy. “I filed this bill after hearing from a constituent who was being charged by their insurance company for making online payments and had never been notified that they would be subject to these fees,” said sponsor GOP Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “This is a pro-consumer bill that will help to ensure that insurance companies provide full disclosure to their policyholders on any additional fees they may assess for conducting these types of transactions.” EXPIRED INSPECTION STICKERS (H 1195) – Another measure before the Financial Services Committee would remove an expired inspection sticker violation from being a moving violation, which add points to your driver’s record and sometimes surcharges, and instead make it a non-moving violation, with no points or surcharge. “I filed this consumer-oriented bill to correct, what I feel, is an unfair insurance surcharge assessed to Massachusetts drivers,” said sponsor Rep. Steve Howitt (R-Seekonk). ~ Legal Notice ~ NOTICE OF PHASE I INITIAL SITE INVESTIGATION AND TIER II CLASSIFICATION Non-PCB Mineral Oil Dielectric Fluid Release 9-17 Commercial Street Everett, Massachusetts Release Tracking Number 3-50264 A release of oil and/or hazardous material has occurred at this location, which is a disposal site as defined by M.G.L. c. 21E, § 2 and the Massachusetts Contingency Plan, 310 CMR 40.0000.

Additional public involvement opportunities are available under 310 CMR 40.1403(9) and 310 CMR 40.1404 June 06, 2025 FINANCIAL AID FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS - The Healey Administration is urging all students and families, particularly low-income families, to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2025-2026 college academic year. The federal form is required for students to be eligible for certain federal and state financial aid, including free community college and opportunities to attend the state’s public four-year universities without paying tuition and fees. “Earlier this year, we visited high schools across Massachusetts for our Higher Education Financial Aid Road Show,” said Education Secretary Dr. Patrick Tutwiler. “The students we spoke with expressed overwhelming interest in going to college, but many said they were unaware of the historic levels of available state financial aid. Massachusetts has nearly $400 million in financial aid and we want students and families to know the first step to accessing this money is to complete the FAFSA.” “Too many students leave money on the table by not completing the FAFSA, and the implications of that are significant,” said Commissioner of Higher Education Noe Ortega. “Accessing financial aid has an impact on whether a student attends the institution of their choice or attends college at all. College access, and the upward mobility that comes from a college degree, all start with applying for financial aid.” Students and families can learn more about FAFSA by visiting Mass.Gov/FinancialAid which has links to free FAFSA. QUOTABLE QUOTES – LET THE 2026 RACE FOR GOVERNOR BEGIN “Massachusetts means business. We need to support our entrepreneurs and companies, cut their costs and make it easier to do business in our state. That’s what we are doing by cutting red tape, simplifying regulations and saving thousands of businesses and business owners significant time and money so they can focus on what matters most – growing jobs and contributing to our economy.” ---Gov. Maura Healey announcing that she is eliminating a series of regulations for the purpose of saving businesses and business owners time and money. “Gov. Maura Healey has spent her days in the Corner Office devastating Massachusetts’ business environment and making life unaffordable for working people through her support for increased regulations, fees and taxes. As a result, Massachusetts is bleeding businesses, private sector jobs and workers, and is now dead last in the country in job growth.” ---Brian Shortsleeve, candidate for the Republican nomination for governor. “Gov. Healey’s so-called regulatory reform is nothing more than political theater. Any small business owner can see right through this. These symbolic tweaks won’t even begin to fix the hostile business climate, skyhigh taxes, and runaway spending that are making Massachusetts unaffordable and unattractive to employers.” ---Mike Kennealy, candidate for Republican nomination for governor.

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 dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.

With over 22 years of experience in City Government, I humbly request your consideration to continue serving your interests in the manner you deserve. As the grandson of Italian immigrants and a lifelong resident of Everett, I attended Everett High School, where I met my wife, Vivian, of 46 years. We reside on Cottage Street with our family. Following high school, I proudly served on active duty in the United States Navy for eight years and was honorably discharged. As a veteran, I learned the principles of duty, honor, and courage, which continue to impact every facet of my life. I have been active in our community as a past memBUYER2 Pierre, Marc SELLER1 Louis W Antonucci Irt ber of the Everett Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, a member of the Kiwanis, and an active member of the Immaculate Conception parish, serving on the Parish Finance Council, as a Eucharistic minister, and Chairman of the parish Multicultural Festival. As a City Councilor with 17 years of public service, I have worked diligently to bring about comprehensive changes to City Hall, such as Charter Reform, and have been involved in extensive community development. I have been a strong advocate for ensuring our education system is properly funded, providing all children with an equal opportunity to succeed academically and occupationally. I have also worked closely with the City’s economic developSELLER2 Veltry, Michelle E ment, which has brought thousands of jobs to Everett, raising the standard of living for many residents. Over the past five years, I have worked closely with all City committees and boards, as well as managing business licensing. Unfortunately, there are some who criticize the progress of our community and its elected offi cials without comprehending the challenges we face regularly. A scorched earth mentality has emerged, twisting our community’s narrative. It seems that it is no longer about what is true, but rather what one can convince others is true. Now is not the time to derail or slow down progress with self-serving rhetoric and no concrete plan. I remain committed to working towards a brighter future for all Everett resiADDRESS 32 Abbott Ave CITY Everett dents. With knowledge and experience, we can move Everett forward together.
