Patricia Ridge, Esq. * Katherine M. Brown, Esq. EPS begins arduous process of preparing for September By Christopher Roberson T he Everett Public Schools will be a very different place when students and teachers return in the fall. Superintendent of Schools Priya Tahiliani recently said that according to the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), facial coverings will be required for all adults and for students in second grade and older. Facial coverings will be recommended for students in kindergarten and first grade. In addition, frequent handwashing, sanitizing and social distancing of at least three feet will be required. “COVID-19 will continue to require patience and understanding,” said Tahiliani, adding that she will keep parents updated throughout the summer. “This report is a vital first step in pointing us toward the fall, but questions and uncertainties persist.” In addition, she said the district will be forming a Back to School Committee which will be tasked with handling issues from “health considerations to elemental logistical concerns.” “Opening our buildings is our primary focus,” said Tahiliani. “COVID-19 has starkly illustrated that there is no replacement for in-person instruction.” Tahiliani urged teachers and administrators to remain strong as the process moves forward. “We might not be through this crisis, Priya Tahiliani Supt. of Schools but there is no doubt that we are pushing ahead as a district, a community and a Commonwealth,” she said. “We recognize the challenges brought on by Coronavirus, but we are undaunted. Our students need us. They especially need us now, at a time when national events require that we have genuine conversations about the most serious issues facing us. I look forward to sharing our plans at each and every step of the process.” The Baker-Polito Administration will allocate $200 million to reopening the state’s public schools. The administration has earmarked another $25 million to bolster the distance learning effort as well. “ This plan will allow schools to responsibly do what is best for students: bring them back to school to learn,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “COVID-19 has presented numerous challenges for our schools, educators and students, but we have developed both a comprehensive plan and a financial package to support schools throughout the Commonwealth.” DESE Secretary Jeffrey Riley said districts must be ready for one of three scenarios. The first would be to return to in-person teaching and learning under COVID-19 guidelines. The second would be to continue remote learning, and the third scenario would be a hybrid model that combines in-person with remote teaching and learning. “While the department is working toward the full in-person return to school of all students, school districts must be prepared to work on a continuum of three broad options for reopening,” said Riley. “We feel this gives school districts the readiness they need to educate students in person, and the flexibility to adapt if the health situation changes.” The current plan is also backed by the medical community. “The message from the medical community remains strong and consistent: We need to get our children back to school, as soon as it is safe to do so,” said Dr. Sandra Nelson, who specializes in Medicine and Infectious Diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital. “We believe that returning to the classroom, with appropriate precautions in place, can be done safely if we all remain vigilant. Our children deserve nothing less.” Immaculate Conception Parish to celebrate reopening T he Immaculate Conception Parish in Everett has reopened for celebration of Holy Mass and all are welcomed back. Anyone who feels uncomfortable returning at this time as well as those of vulnerable age should remain at home and worship with us through Catholic TV or other social media where people are able to follow Holy Mass. Meanwhile, the Immaculate Conception Parish announces that it is making a change to its Mass schedule. Beginning on the weekend of July 4-5, there will no longer be a 9 a.m. Mass and an 11 a.m. Mass. There will be a 10 a.m. Mass instead. For the summer, the 5:30 p.m. Sunday Mass has already been suspended, so the weekend Mass schedule for the summer will be as follows: Saturday, 4 p.m. (English); Saturday, 7:30 p.m. (Vietnamese); Sunday, 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. (English); Sunday, 1 p.m. (Spanish); Sunday, 4 p.m. (Haitian). The Parish continues to honor social distancing, and requires the wearing of a mask before, during and after Mass. The Church is cleaned by volunteers after each Mass. Due to the restrictions on attendance, there is limited sitting in the upper Church (about 78 people) and in the Chapel (about 30 people). It is very important that anyone seeking to attend one of the Masses call the Rectory to indicate which Mass time is preferred. If the preferred Mass is full, another Mass that has availability will be recommended. The Rectory number is 617-389-5661. Prices subject to change FLEET
THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2020 Page 3 Mayor announces Norwood Street boardwalks Special to Th e Advocate M ayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce the expansion of outdoor dining on Norwood Street. Boardwalks have been completed in front of Bakes & Cakes, Taco El Paso and the 8/10 Bar & Grille. By redirecting pedestrians to these boardwalks, which have replaced several parking spaces, restaurants are able to provide outdoor seating for their patrons. This is especially helpful because restaurants have only been allowed to provide takeout for the last three months. In current state regulations by Governor Charlie Baker, restaurants are only able to provide limited capacity for indoor dining. “My number one priority is to help these small business owners survive the severe economic downturn, while at the same time dramatically improving Everett’s outdoor dining experience,” DeMaria said. www.eight10barandgrille.com We Have Reopened for Dine-In and Outside Seating every day beginning at 4 PM 8/10 Bar & Grill is now open for outdoor dining as well as indoor seating beginning daily at 4 p.m. Everett’s Department of Public Facilities constructed the three boardwalks/ parklets in a matter of two weeks and provided outdoor furniture to keep a consistent look on the public sidewalks. The estimated cost for materials was $5,200. The city provided resources and staff to complete the boardwalks. “The outside seating and the way the city has done – it was a great idea,” said 8/10 Bar & Grill owner Richard Sasso. “I feel as though the City of Everett is going above and beyond to try to help its businesses survive this crisis.” WE'RE OPEN! 8 Norwood Street, Everett (617) 387-9810 STAY SAFE!
Page 4 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2020 MCGONAGLE| FROM PAGE 1 District. “I feel confi dent that we are making great strides for the city of Everett and look forward to continuing those efforts,” he said. McGonagle said that during the past two years he helped pass the $1.8 billion housing bond bill, a portion of which will be used to build 77 units of aff ordable senior housing on Broadway. He also locked in $10 million to rebuild Sweetser Circle and more recently, garnered $1.5 million to bolster the distance learning initiative. McGonagle’s efforts have also included revitalizing the Malden River, expanding programming at the Connolly Center and obtaining funds for a new city clinician. “Beyond these are innumerable accomplishments in helping my constituents who call, email or stop by the offi ce every day needing help,” said McGonagle. “These people are frustrated, upset and exhausted, looking for my help, and I understand it is my duty and privilege to serve them. Taking the time to listen and help will always be a priority of mine.” McGonagle also described what sets him apart from McLaughlin. “I know how to get the job done,” he said. “I was able to secure $75,000 for the Eliot Family Resource Center and $100,000 for a grant to aid small businesses, geared towards those owned by women and minorities. With my opponent’s absence of experience, Everett would not receive these kinds of funds.” In addition, McGonagle emphasized that McLaughlin has an “extremely flexible relationship with the truth,” adding that the councillor lacks strong relationships with Mayor Carlo DeMaria and State Senator Sal DiDomenico. “My opponent cannot always be trusted to be honest and truthful,” said McGonagle. “He prefers to tell you what you want to hear with no intention of acting upon it and makes promises he cannot keep.” He also said he believes McLaughlin has motives that do not include Everett residents. “His inability to speak honestly, his lack of professional relationships and his unclear motives would make him an extremely ineff ective state representative that would hurt the whole city of Everett,” said McGonagle. In addition, McGonagle has taken issue with McLaughlin’s campaign tactics, particularly during the COVID-19 crisis. “Door knocking in the midst of a pandemic puts many of our residents’ health and safety at risk just for the possibility of a vote,” he said. Should he return to Beacon Hill for a fourth term, McGonagle said, aff ordable housing would continue to be a top priority. “Many of the people looking for public housing spend years on waiting lists and then cannot get housing in the city they’ve lived [in] their whole lives,” he said. “Much of the housing we’re constructing is far too expensive for the average worker or family. I really hope this is something we can continue to address and fi x in the coming years, and I want to be a part of it.” McGonagle also said he wants to continue the push for a commuter rail station in Everett. “Being so close to Boston, we need to make commuting to and from the city as painless as possible,” he said. Prior to his election to the House of Representatives six years ago, McGonagle served on the City Council and the Board of Aldermen. According to the Secretary of State’s Office, McGonagle has won every Primary Election since 2014 by an average of 13.6 percent. He has also been unopposed in every General Election.
THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2020 Page 5 McGonagle secures $175,000 for COVID-19 relief in Everett B OSTON – Last week Representative Joe McGonagle along with his colleagues in the House of Representatives passed a supplemental budget of more than $1 billion to facilitate federal CARES Act funding to reimburse communities hardhit by COVID-19 – which includes $175,000 for Everett community needs. The spending measure follows the April passage in Congress of the Federal CARES Act, which requires states to expend funds on items related to COVID-19 for federal reimbursement. The supplemental budget directs funds to address vital needs, including for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), field hospitals and contact tracing. “The COVID-19 pandemic pushed all of our community resources to their limits and we must help them as they have helped us,” said McGonagle. “This pandemic is ongoing with an unclear timeline so we must continue to care for the vulnerable populations and support our local businesses.” cured: In the bill, McGonagle se• $75,000 to increase funding for the Eliot Family Resource Center for additional food, diaper service and fundamental family services for residents • $100,000 to implement a grant program for small businesses of six to 50 employees impacted by the pandemic, with preference given to minority-owned and women-owned small businesses. “I understand the stress and tremendous impact this virus Baker-Polito Admin. announces Sales Tax Holiday Aug. 29-30 weekend B OSTON – The Baker-Polito Administration announced this week that the annual sales tax–free weekend will take place from August 29-30. This marks the second sales tax holiday held under the new law signed by Governor Charlie Baker in 2018 that made the weekend an annual occurrence. “The annual sales tax holiday is an opportunity for us to support small businesses and consumers, and this year, it’s a great way to support our economy that’s been impacted by COVID-19,” said Governor Baker. “This pandemic has created enormous challenges for the Commonwealth’s small businesses, and the sales tax–free weekend is one way that we can encourage more economic activity to help Main Street businesses and local economies.” “As the Commonwealth continues its phased reopening process, we recognize that many small businesses continue to face diffi culties,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “We are proud that our Administration worked with the Legislature to enact legislation making the sales tax holiday permanent and look forward to this year’s tax-free weekend and the economic activity that will come with it.” “We are proud to continue supporting local businesses and consumers as we work with our colleagues in the Legislature to navigate the evolving COVID-19 environment while adhering to public health guidelines,” said Secretary for Administration and Finance Michael Heff ernan. “The upcoming sales tax holiday will be an opportunity for people throughout Massachusetts to help support local companies and generate much-needed economic activity.” has had on small businesses. Visiting these businesses, I have seen and heard their stories of struggling to survive the shutdowns, particularly women- and minority-owned businesses. My hope is that this grant can supply some relief as they move forward. Additionally, the Eliot Center continued their tremendous work every day throughout the pandemic so I hope these funds can give them a much-needed boost.” The bill now moves to the Senate. Joseph McGonagle State Representative Life insurance company to pay $145K for failing to issue cancellation notices H artford Life and Accident Insurance Company will pay $145,000 to resolve allegations that it failed to properly issue cancellation notices to over 100 Massachusetts residents. In an Assurance of Discontinuance fi led in Suffolk Superior Court, Attorney General Maura Healey’s offi ce alleged that Hartford Life violated Massachusetts consumer protection law when it failed to properly issue cancellation notices to residents insured under a group policy. “People depend on life insurance for critical support in often incredibly diffi cult circumstances,” said Healey. “It’s important that people have clear, accurate information about the status of their policies. We are pleased that this settlement will provide restitution to consumers harmed by this company’s practices.” As part of the resolution of this matter, Hartford Life will reissue cancellation notices that will provide a new termination of coverage date. Additionally, the company will give consumers the right to convert their coverage under the group policy to an individual policy without proof of insurability. The company will also give policy benefi ciaries the right to fi le a claim that may arise up to 60 days from the date of the notices. Hartford Life will pay $120,000 to consumers in connection with claims identifi ed during the investigation, and it will also pay $25,000 to the Commonwealth. Consumers with questions about this settlement should contact Healey’s Insurance and Financial Services Division at 1-888-830-6277.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2020 Page 7 Tahiliani updates School Committee on district’s COVID-19 response By Christopher Roberson W ith the 2019-2020 school year now in the rearview mirror, Superintendent of Schools Priya Tahiliani and her colleagues have been able to formally evaluate the district’s initial response to the COVID-19 pandemic. “It was certainly a work in progress for us all,” said Tahiliani as she presented her After Action Review to the School Committee on June 29. She also said it is no easy task to measure a student’s participation in the Distance Learning Program. “Assessing the level of participation is very complex and nuanced,” she said. “There were no blueprints for schools to grapple with.” In addition, she said the district has made every eff ort to connect with students’ families to ensure they have everything they need for distance learning. However, despite those efforts, Tahiliani said, she and her colleagues have not heard back from 206 families. “We will continue to plug away to fi gure out what’s going on there,” she said. Ward 4 School Committee Member Dana Murray, who is also a teacher at East Boston High School, said a number of her students were sent to Mexico or Puerto Rico as their parents could no longer provide adequate care for them. She also said she has friends whose children have not participated in distance learning because of emotional trauma infl icted by the virus. In addition, Murray advised the committee to exercise prudence when releasing distance learning data to the public as it could be used in a harmful manner. “I’m not in the business of weaponizing data,” she said, adding that no one should be “punished or judged” about the district’s response to an unprecedented pandemic.

Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2020 DiDomenico and Senate Colleagues pass bill to authorize $200M for transportation infrastructure; extend FMCB; pass 1/12th budget Legislation includes $641K for the City of Everett B OSTON – On Thursday, June 11, Senator Sal DiDomenico and his colleagues in the Massachusetts State Senate passed legislation to invest Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order? Do you have an update Will, Health Care Proxy or Power of Attorney? If Not, Please Call for a Free Consultation. 14 Proctor Avenue, Revere (781) 284-5657 in municipal transportation projects and extend the Fiscal and Management Control Board (FMCB). Thursday’s action also included the passage of an interim – or 1/12 – budget to ensure essential services continue to receive adequate funding. This 1/12th budget was signed into law by the governor on June 26, 2020. “This investment in municipal transportation is a win-win: by funding shovel-ready improvement projects now, we can kick start our economy, all while moving forward with the development of a safe and equitable transit system for decades to come,” said Senator DiDomenico. “I am pleased this investment is now one step closer to becoming a reality for cities and towns across our Commonwealth.” The transportation infrastructure bill, which is titled An Act fi - nancing improvements to municipal roads and bridges, authorizes $200 million in municipal roads and bridges funding and includes $641,000 for the City of Everett. The legislation also renews leadership for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) by extending FMCB for another year and maintaining FMBC’s current authority. During the June 11 session, the Senate also advanced a $5.25B “1/12th” budget to ensure essential services that communities rely on continue to receive funding as the legislature closely monitors the impacts of COVID-19 on economic and state tax revenue. The 1/12th budget is a standard exercise and would authorize funds for the month of July at a conservative level to ensure fi scal responsibility during this period of economic uncertainty. “While my legislative colleagues and I typically pass an annual budget each year, the uncertain economic future created by the COVID crisis made it necessary for us to instead pass a one-month – or 1/12th – budSal DiDomenico State Senator get,” said DiDomenico. “This option allows us to meet our fi nancial responsibilities and maintain essential services while we monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on our economy and our tax revenue. This approach also gives our Commonwealth additional fl exibility while we await federal action in Washington. I look forward to continuing my work with my legislative colleagues to build a fi scally responsible budget during these diffi cult economic times.” On June 15, An Act financing improvements to municipal roads and bridges was referred by the Massachusetts House to its committee on Ways & Means. Encore Boston Harbor prepares for July reopening Casino Resort with select restaurants will operate under new guidelines F ollowing the direction of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC), Encore Boston Harbor will reopen to the public as part of the State’s Phase 3 Reopening Plan, which is anticipated to begin no sooner than July 6.

Page 14 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2020 DiDomenico and Senate colleagues pass Patients First Act S tate Senator Sal DiDomenico announced that on June 25 the Massachusetts Senate unanimously passed the Patients First Act, the third piece of healthcare legislation advanced by the Senate during this session to increase access to health care, protect patients and enhance quality care. This legislation builds on vital lessons learned during the COVID-19 public health crisis, as unprecedented demands on the healthcare system have prompted innovation and the expedited adoption of policy changes. This session the Senate also passed the Pharmaceutical Access, Costs and Transparency (PACT) Act and the Mental Health Addressing Barriers to Care (ABC) Act. “This session, my colleagues and I fully committed to making our healthcare system more aff ordable and equitable, and this legislation is the latest step taken by the Senate to ensure healthcare is more accessible for all Massachusetts residents,” said DiDomenico. “This bill refl ects key lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic and takes important steps to improve patient outcomes. I was proud to support this bill, and I would like to thank all of my colleagues who worked tirelessly on this vital legislation.” The Patients First Act ensures that telehealth services are available across the Commonwealth – services that have experienced a dramatic expansion during the COVID-19 pandemic – enabling patients across the state to continue receiving vital medical care through phone or videoconference without risking exposure to COVID-19. Experience from the last few months has shown that telehealth can improve effi ciency and expand Sal DiDomenico State Senator access to care. Telehealth was not widely utilized before COVID-19. The bill does the following to put patients fi rst: • Requires insurance carriers, including MassHealth, to cover telehealth services in any case where the same in-person service would be A.B.C. CIGAR 170 REVERE ST., REVERE (781) 289-4959 Same Location * Same Service for 48 Years! covered. It also ensures that telehealth services include care through audio-only telephone calls, and it requires reimbursement rates to match in-person services over the next two years. • Eliminates “surprise billing,” the unfair practice of charging patients who are unaware they received health care services outside of their insurance network for costs that insurance carriers refuse to pay. The situation is common, especially prior to a planned procedure, and it can be impossible to avoid uncovered services, particularly in emergency situations. • Expands the scope of practice for several health care professionals, increasing patient access to critical care. The bill would allow registered nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists and psychiatric nurse mental health specialists to practice independently if they meet certain education and training standards. • Recognizes pharmacists as health care providers, enabling them to integrate more fully into coordinated care teams. • Creates a new professional license for “dental therapists,” who will be authorized to provide dental hygiene and other oral health services, which will help expand access to dental care in underserved communities. • Tasks state health care oversight agencies to analyze and report on the effects COVID-19 has had on the Commonwealth’s health care delivery system as it relates to accessibility, quality and fi scal sustainability. The analysis will include an inventory of all health care services and resources serving Massachusetts residents from birth to death, as well as an analysis of existing health care disparities due to economic, geographic, racial or other factors. The Patients First Act now moves to the House of Representatives for consideration.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2020 Page 15 City of Everett begins construction on new tennis facility T he City of Everett has offi cially begun construction on a new state-of-the-art tennis facility at Rossetti Park. In Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s January “State of the City” speech, he promised the building of new tennis courts, which will allow the Everett School tennis team to host statewide tournaments in Everett. “The addition of the tennis facility is really good for the community, especially the high school tennis team,” said Mayor DeMaria. “It’ll be good for the kids to host matches on their home tennis court in front of their families and friends.” The new park will have four regulation sized tennis courts, and it will be lit at night so games can be held. Additionally, the park will feature a small dog park area, a pergola with seating, a pickle ball court, a drinking fountain, plantings and trees. There will also be all new fencing. The Rossetti budget was $1.1 million. Marini Corp is doing the construction and Bohler Engineering completed the design work. The estimated completion of the new facility is in fall 2020. "YOUR FINANCIAL FOCUS" Joseph D. Cataldo PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM EXTENSION The United States Senate unanimously passed a fiveweek extension of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Tuesday night, June 30, 2020. The program was scheduled to close as of midnight on June 30th. The House of Representatives and the President still need to sign off on the extension. They are expected to act swiftly as well. This extension is intended to provide small businesses with additional time to apply for a forgivable loan under the PPP. There is still $129 billion left in PPP funding. The United States Small Business Administration (SBA), which oversees the program on behalf of the Treasury Department, ceased accepting applications as of midnight on Tuesday, June 30th. The plan approved by the United States Senate extends the deadline for applying until August 8, 2020. Senator Marco Rubio did state that the vast majority of small businesses that wanted to take advantage of the PPP funds, have already done so. He is the chairman of the Senate Small Business Committee. He did state that he would like to target certain businesses that he believes need a second round of PPP aid. As of June 30th, the SBA had approved approximately $4.9 million loans amounting to more than $520 billion. Congress designed the PPP loans in order to support businesses and other organizations facing economic hardships created by the coronavirus pandemic and assist them in continuing to pay employee salaries. PPP loan recipients can have their loans forgiven in full if the monies were used for eligible expenses and if other criteria are met. The amount of loan forgiveness may be reduced based upon the percentage of eligible costs attributed to non-payroll costs, any decrease in employee headcount, and decreases in salaries or wages per employee. Revised forms and instructions are available on the SBA website. The new EZ form can be used by many businesses in order to apply for forgiveness. It is signifi cantly easier to complete than the first application the SBA had come out with. Joseph D.

Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2020 by Jim Miller Why High Blood Pressure is Even More Dangerous in the COVID-19 Era Dear Savvy Senior, Are people with high blood pressure at increased risk of getting coronavirus? Hypertensive Helen Dear Helen, If you have high blood pressure, you defi nitely need to take extra care to protect yourself during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Research shows that people with hypertension are more susceptible to getting COVID-19, are more likely to develop severe symptoms if they do get sick, and are more likely to die from the infection, especially if they’re older. High Risk Links A weaker immune system is the key reason people with high blood pressure and other health problems are at higher risk for coronavirus. Long-term health conditions and aging weaken the immune system so it’s less able to fi ght off the virus. Nearly two-thirds of Americans over 60 have high blood pressure. Another concern that has been circulating, but was put to rest last month, were theories that the medications that are commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure – ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) – could make patients more vulnerable to contracting COVID-19, and more susceptible to severe illness if they did become infected. But new research published in The New England Journal of Medicine last month found no risk linked to these medications. COVID Complications While pneumonia is the most common complication of the virus, it can also damage the cardiovascular system. That’s why people with high blood pressure, heart disease, and heart failure are at risk. High blood pressure damages arteries and reduces the fl ow of blood to your heart. That means your heart has to work harder to pump enough blood. Over time, this extra work can weaken your heart to the point where it can’t pump as much oxygen-rich blood to your body. Coronavirus can also damage the heart directly, which can be especially risky if your heart is already weakened by the eff ects of high blood pressure. The virus may cause infl ammation of the heart muscle, which makes it harder for the heart to pump. If you also have plaque buildup in your arteries, the virus may make those plaques more likely to break apart and cause a heart attack. Studies have shown that people with heart disease who get a respiratory illness like the fl u or earlier types of coronavirus are at higher risk for a heart attack. What to Do? While everyone needs to take precautions to prevent coronavirus, people with high blood pressure and other health conditions need to be extra careful. The best way to avoid getting sick is to stay home as much as you can. If you have to go out, wear a mask and keep at least 6 feet away from other people. And every time you come home, wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds. Also, clean and disinfect all frequently touched surfaces like cell phones, countertops and doorknobs. The CDC also recommends that you have enough medicine on hand to treat high blood pressure and other health conditions. And stock up on over-the-counter medicines to treat a fever and other symptoms if you get sick. While a coronavirus vaccine isn’t available yet, you should stay up to date on your other important vaccines. The pneumococcal vaccines – Prevnar 13 and Pneumovax 23 – will prevent you from catching pneumonia on top of coronavirus. Also get a fl u shot in September or early October. Its symptoms are easy to confuse with coronavirus, which could make it harder for doctors to diagnose you if you do get sick. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

By Bob Katzen THE HOUSE AND SENATE: The House and Senate continued to hold remote sessions with just a handful of members in the chambers in order to avoid spreading COVID-19. Most members watched and listened to the debate from their home or business offi ce through their computers and voted via phone. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives' and senators’ votes on roll calls from the week of June 22-26. $1.1 BILLION FOR COVID-19 RESPONSE (H 4802) House 158-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would provide $1.1 billion to cover expenses related to response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gov. Charlie Baker has been urging the Legislature to quickly get a spending bill to his desk because the state cannot be eligible for federal reimbursements for costs related to the respiratory virus until a package is approved by the Legislature and signed by the governor. The package includes $350 million for personal protective equipment; $139 million in increased rates and addons for human service providers; $93 million for human service provider incentive pay; $85 million for fi eld hospitals and shelters; $44 million for contact tracing efforts, and more funding for child care providers, food security programs, emergency housing, and “a dedicated fund to address statewide eff orts on racial disparities in COVID health care access.” “Today we are taking one step closer and helping relieve the fi nancial burden that COVID-19 has infl icted while also helping some prepare for the coming months, as the virus continues to inflict pain and with a vaccine still a ways away from being a reality,” said House Ways and Means chair Rep. Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston). “Collectively, these pieces represent a broad range of items that will help a wide variety of people and organizations that have been disproportionately aff ected by the COVID-19 outbreak.” Michlewitz continued, “As the federal government is inundated with reimbursement requests, it is vital that we maximize our options and take advantage of the FEMA funds while we can. That is why it is so critical that we pass this today and get it closer to the governor’s desk, so that we do not fall far behind other states in the race for federal reimbursement.” “As you can imagine, since COVID-19, calls to the helpline have increased exponentially as thousands of people are in need of health care for the first time,” said Rep. Christine Barber (D-Somerville). I know many of us have relied on the helpline to aid our constituents, and the funding in this bill helps to increase the capacity to help people who lost their job and their employer-sponsored coverage and need help finding insurance coverage for the first time. They’re helping people who have never had coverage but because of the crisis are now trying to enroll.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes CONSOLIDATED AMENDMENT (H 4802) House 156-2, approved a “consolidated amendment” to the $1.1 billion COVID-19 bill. Members filed 130 amendments to the bill, but only one was voted on individually. Three amendments were withdrawn by their sponsors and the other 126 were rolled into this one big consolidated amendment. Most of the items in the consolidated amendment were earmarks for individual local cities and towns to cover expenses related to their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. “The funding allocated in the amendment will support schools, address food insecurity and emergency housing assistance, and provide essential public health resources, like personal protective equipment, to districts across the commonwealth— which are especially critical now during the COVID-19 crisis,” said Rep. Christine Barber (D-Somerville). “I am also hapBeacon Hill Roll Call py to see needed funds dedicated to Early Education and Care, which is a major cornerstone of our state’s reopening process.” Reps. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) and Nicholas Boldyga (R-Southwick) were the only two members to vote against the amendment. Despite repeated attempts by Beacon Hill Roll Call, Lombardo and Boldyga did not respond when asked for the reasons they voted against the amendment. (A “Yes” vote is for the consolidated amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes MAKE JUNETEENTH A STATE HOLIDAY (H 4802) House 158-0, approved an amendment that would make Juneteenth Independence Day an offi cial state holiday. Juneteenth, derived from the date June 19th, marks the day—June 19, 1865—that enslaved African Americans in Texas fi nally received word from Union Army General Gordon Granger that they were free, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation freeing all slaves. News of, and enforcement of, Lincoln’s proclamation relied on the advancement of union troops which were slow to reach Texas and enforcement had been slow and inconsistent prior to Granger’s announcement in Galveston, Texas. “This is a real important day,” said Rep. Bud Williams (D-Springfi eld), the sponsor of the amendment. “We fi led this in solidarity with [the] Black Lives Matter [movement]. In terms of making this state holiday, it will go a long way in bridging the racial gap between individuals. Certainly, we’ve tried this many, many times. And this is part of Black history. And you can’t talk about the American history without talking about Black history. And most individuals in the commonwealth have no idea what Black history is.” “Today, we are making a tremendous pivot and truly delivering freedom to the African Americans with this amendment,” said Rep. Chynah Tyler (D-Roxbury). “Although this is the beginning of the road, I’m committed to helping us as a team deliver a more equitable commonwealth for African Americans.” “Juneteenth celebrates the breaking of the chains of enslavement of Black Americans,” said Rep. Nika Elugardo (D-Jamaica Plain). “It is fi tting that BEACON | SEE PAGE 17
THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2020 Page 17 BEACON | FROM PAGE 16 this year as the House of Representatives takes on dismantling structural racism in the commonwealth’s institutions, we should vote to declare Juneteenth a state holiday … Together, we are still breaking chains.” “Juneteenth Independence Day … also serves as a reminder that we still have a long way to go to address slavery’s enduring legacy of racism and discrimination,” said House Republican Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “Although Juneteenth has been offi cially observed in Massachusetts since 2007 with the annual issuance of a proclamation by the governor, making it a full legal holiday is a way to further acknowledge the work that still needs to be done to ensure true equality for all Americans.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes INCREASE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE (S 2769) Senate 38-0, approved and sent to the House, a bill sponsors say will increase access to health care, protect patients and enhance quality care. The measure requires insurance carriers, including MassHealth, to cover telehealth services in any case where the same in-person service would be covered and requires reimbursement rates to match in-person services over the next two years. It also eliminates “surprise billing,” the much-criticized practice of charging unsuspecting patients who received health care services outside of their insurance plan’s network for costs that insurers refuse to pay. Other provisions would allow registered nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists and psychiatric nurse mental health specialists who meet specifi c education and training standards to practice independently; recognize pharmacists as health care providers, enabling them to integrate more fully into coordinated care teams; and create a new professional license for “dental therapists,” who will be authorized to provide dental hygiene and other oral health services. Supporters note that this will help expand access to dental care in underserved communities. “The [bill] ensures that our healthcare system can continue to deliver quality, affordable and accessible care long after the COVID-19 state of emergency has ended,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), Senate chair of the Committee on Health Care Financing. “By increasing access to telehealth services, eliminating the unfair practice of surprise billing and expanding our healthcare workforce, we are taking important steps to protect patients and increase access to quality care for all.” “When it comes to making telehealth services permanently accessible, ending surprise billing and expanding scope of practice, let me be clear: we cannot wait,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “We have learned a lot about how to deliver accessible health care during the global pandemic, and we can and should implement these changes now.” “It is vital that we deliver accessible and equitable healthcare to people across the commonwealth,” said Sen. Eric Lesser (D-Longmeadow). “The coronavirus pandemic has revealed inequities and inadequacies in our current healthcare system, and it is important that we continue to legislate comprehensive healthcare reforms to protect patients and providers in the face of these unprecedented challenges.” Although no senators voted against the bill, some small businesses and health insurance companies have expressed some concerns that it goes too far. “We believe requiring plans to pay telehealth at an in-person rate for two years is too long, and we recommend a shorter time frame for the sunset of payment parity such as 90 days after rescission of the governor’s executive order mandating telehealth,” said the leaders of Retailers Association of Massachusetts, Massachusetts Association of Health Plans and the state chapter of the National Federal of Independent Business. They suggested that a transition period tied to the end of the COVID pandemic would allow for payers and providers to negotiate appropriate reimbursement for certain health care services that may not represent a comprehensive in-person consultation between a member and a provider. They also argued that currently contracted rates between providers and insurers for telehealth services cannot be circumvented by statute. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes CLOSURE OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES AT A HOSPITAL (S 2769) Senate 38-0, approved an amendment that would require the Health Policy Commission to report on the adverse eff ects suff ered after the closure of any essential services at a hospital. The amendment also would require an examination of the effi cacy of existing standards and requirements intended to maintain such essential services. “Unfortunately, my community and many others have had to face the realities of essential services being cut despite the Department of Public Health’s best eff orts,” said the amendment’s sponsor Sen. Susan Moran (D-Falmouth). “This amendment will not only allow us to quantify the eff ect essential care closures have on the quality and availability of care to our constituents but will also help determine how we can support Department of Public Health enforcement when these issues arise.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment). Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes 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. 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. During the week of June 22-26, the House met for a total of nine hours and 38 minutes while the Senate met for a total of nine hours and 21 minutes Mon.
