Focusing on providing relief to residents across Massachusetts while upholding fi scal responsibility, the Senate’s tax relief package will provide relief to renters, seniors and parents struggling with high early education costs – while also increasing much-needed housing production. With the recent passage of the FY24 budget last month, the Commonwealth is now poised to secure and strengthen its economic foundation to weather future uncertainty. This bill also includes language that DiDomenico has fi led and pushed for in the areas of the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Advocate Online: www.advocatenews.net Tax Credit. “Our state is losing its competitive edge because many working families, older residents, and young people can’t aff ord to live here anymore and this tax relief package refl ects our focus on fi xing that,” said Senator DiDomenico, who is Assistant Majority Leader of the Massachusetts Senate. “I am pleased to share that some of my biggest priorities were included, from increasing tax credits for working families to reforming some of our cumbersome public benefi t programs which will ensure people can easily access all the fi nancial support they deserve. I am also thrilled that we have taken steps to address our housing crisis, as well. I want to thank Senate President Karen Spilka, Chair Rodrigues, and Senator Moran for their dedication to making this a tax package that benefits residents who need it most.” “As I have said from the outset, tax relief should go to the workers, families, and elderly residents of the Commonwealth who need it most,” stated Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “Massachusetts doesn’t need just any tax relief; we need permanent, progressive, smart, and sustainable tax relief. Too many families have been caught between the rising costs of healthcare, housing, education, and basic goods. While we advance reforms to lower these costs and shore up our social services, meaningful tax relief is another tool in our kit to encourage people to live and raise their families in Massachusetts. I want to thank each of my Senate colleagues who contributed to this proposal, especially Senator Rodrigues and Senator Moran for their leadership in developing this strong package.” This package includes a variety of initiatives as tax relief for the residents of Massachusetts. The bill mandates the following: • Increases the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which provides critical support to working families, from 30% to 40% of the federal credit • Merges existing credits into a new and enhanced Child and Dependent Tax Credit (CDTC), increases the amount of the credit from $180 to $310 per child/dependent and eliminates the current cap of two children/dependents • Increases statewide cap for the Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP) from $10 million to $57 million on a one-time basis and then to $30 million annually • Increases the cap on the rental deduction from $3,000 to $4,000 • Raises annual authorization of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, which directly supports the production of aff ordable housing units across the Commonwealth, from $40 million to $60 million • Doubles the maximum senior circuit breaker credit, which supports elderly residents who struggle with high housing costs, from $1,200 to $2,400 • Excludes homes valued at under $2 million from the Estate Tax and eliminates the “cliff eff ect” by allowing a uniform credit of $99,600 for all estates • Triples the maximum credit under the Title V Tax Credit, which supports families who must replace failed septic sysDIDOMENICO | SEE PAGE 17 Local resident named to William & Mary Dean’s List K iara Cruz, of Everett, Mass., was recently named to the Dean’s List at the College of William & Mary for the spring 2023 semester.

Ward 4 School Committee Chairman Michael Mangan said he thought that Paula Sterite is a person who cares about students’ well-being until he received an email from her the following day after the committee took the vote two weeks ago. Sterite said she found that derogatory. School Committee member AtLarge Samantha Lambert asked if it was sent to his public or private email. It was sent to his city email, stated Mangan. He didn’t have any problem with Sterite reaching out and voicing her opinion. However, the part of the email that Mangan has issue with is: “I know you have relatives using Pope John — don’t worry that will not go unnoticed — nor will any grants given out!,” Sterite wrote to Mangan. Mangan’s daughter, Kay, who identifies as queer, opened up Everett LGBTQ+ Youth Space and Resource Center (ELYSARC) approximately three years ago, inside the former Pope John High School building. “Because I voted a certain way, she can take issue with me, but to threaten my children is unacceptable,” Mangan said. “It’s a travesty to go after someone’s family member.” Sterite said in a separate interview that she never mentioned his daughter in the email, so she asked why he is bringing it up now. “At this point, even your vote for [Superintendent] Priya is questionable to me and others as a safe vote - knowing it would fail,” Sterite wrote to Mangan. Sterite doesn’t think any city worker should hold elected positions since she believes it’s a conflict of interest. Mangan serves as the legislative aide to the city council. She also asked why Pope John is being used by everyone but by the School Department. Mangan said that Kay felt that LGBTQ+ rights and protections weren’t on the city’s radar. Sterite asked to clarify what she said in the email, but Mangan directed that part to public comment. “This is a safe space, where LGBTQ+ people can go daily,” Mangan said in a separate interview. “They started yelling and getting out of order — I wasn’t backing down.” He asked to refer this to the mayor, governor, School Committee, superintendent and state delegation to ensure that no ELYSARC funding was cut. School Committee At Large member Cynthia Sarnie made a motion, seconded by Ward 1 School Committee member Millie Cardello. Lambert abstained from the vote since she didn’t have a resolution in front of her. She was quick to note she supports the LGBTQ+ community, but she doesn’t feel comfortable taking a vote without the wording in front of her. The motion failed, since they didn’t have a quorum. Cardello made a motion to put the resolution on the table for the next meeting. Sarnie seconded her motion.

Page 20 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JunE 23, 2023 Tax Benefits of Irrevocable Trusts f you place your principal residence into an irrevocable trust to protect the equity for your children, you can sell your home and still take advantage of the $250,000 capital gains tax exclusion ($500,000 for a married couple) upon sale. For example, if you are single and you lived in your home for at least two of the five years prior to the date of sale of your home, and you sold your home for $750,000, with a purchase price of $500,000, the $250,000 capital gain would not be taxable. In order to determine your actual cost basis, you would be adding to the purchase price all capital improvements since acquisition such as a new roof, new windows, new heating system, kitchen renovation, bathroom renovation, asphalt driveway, etc., plus any and all closing costs on the sale of the house such as broker’s commission, tax stamps, legal fees and recording fees. Upon your death, the fair I market value of the home would become the new cost basis in the hands of the beneficiaries of the Trust, such as your children. If they were to sell the home shortly after your death, in all probability, Trust. This would be the case if you decided to rent and not purchase a replacement property. The sale of the home and the purchase of a replacement home does not restart the fiveyear look-back period. Since the irrevocable Trust is there would then be no capital gains tax to pay. Only if the property appreciated significantly since the date of your death would there then be a capital gain to pay taxes on. Keep in mind that once the five-year look-back period has passed, the house would not be a countable asset for MassHealth purposes and being held in the irrevocable Trust would avoid probate as well as estate recovery for MassHealth benefits paid. If the house were to be sold during your lifetime, the net sales proceeds would be placed into the irrevocable Trust to either purchase a new home to be held by the Trust or to invest the monies to generate income to be paid to you as an income beneficiary of the ~ Legal Notice ~ Bids for the 2023 Roadway Rehabilitation The City of Everett is seeking sealed bids for the 2023 Roadway Rehabilitation - Full Depth Reconstruction at City Hall, 484 Broadway, Everett, MA 02149, until July 10, 2023 at 1 p.m. The work consists of full depth roadway reclamation; hot mix asphalt paving; removal and resetting of granite curbing; construction of cement concrete sidewalks, and ADA/AAB compliant pedestrian ramps; etc. Specifications and bid forms may be obtained by request to Allison.jenkins@ci.everett.ma.us Each Bid must be accompanied by a bid security consisting of a BID BOND, or, CERTIFIED CHECK in the amount of 5% of the bid price.
