THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 11, 2025 Page 3 Mayor expands access to Everett’s First-Time Homebuyer Assistance Program M Special to Th e Advocate ore families and individuals will now have the opportunity to achieve the dream of homeownership in Everett. Mayor Carlo DeMaria is proud to announce signifi - cant updates to the city’s FirstTime Homebuyer Assistance Program, which now offers expanded eligibility and increased income limits, helping more people than ever qualify for up to $20,000 toward the purchase of their fi rst home. The program, which provides forgivable loans to eligible applicants, has been expanded to include non-Everett residents and households earning up to 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Previously, only Everett residents with incomes between 60% and 100% of the AMI were eligible. “This expansion refl ects our commitment to making Everett a place where more people can put down roots,” said Mayor DeMaria. “A $20,000 down payment can be life-changing, especially for working families and young professionals. We’re excited to open the door to more fi rst-time buyers, including those who are looking to join our growing and vibrant community.” Qualifi ed applicants can receive a forgivable loan of up to $20,000, with 20% of the loan forgiven each year over a fi ve-year period — as long as the home remains their primary residence and program requirements are met. The funds can be used to purchase a condo, single-family home or multifamily home within Everett. * Life-Long Resident * Dedicated Family Man * US Navy Veteran * Experienced City Councillor “Everett is on the threshold of unprecedented growth and development.

His funding will go towards projects like playground enhancements, athletic and theater programs, creating sensory classrooms, assisting with repairs in our schools, new bleachers in a high school gym, afterschool programming, traffic calming measures on our streets and new signalization to create a safer environment for drivers and pedestrians. “I am proud to bring these impactful investments home to my communities, and I can’t wait to see how many students and residents will benefit from new and enhanced school programs, public infrastructure, and transit projects,” said Senator DiDomenico. “This influx of revenue was made possible thanks to the fair share amendment, and I am proud to work alongside my colleagues to ensure every dollar is spent improving daily life for commuters, students, and people of all ages across the Commonwealth.” This supplemental budget makes significant investments in the MBTA, Regional Transit Authorities (RTAs), water transportation, roads, and bridges — with the goal of advancing affordable, safe and reliable transit for all residents. It also provides critical support for public colleges and universities, expands vocational education programs and strengthens services for students with disabilities. The supplemental budget utilizes estimated revenues generated from the Fair Share ballot initiative approved by voters in November 2022, which established a new surtax of four percent on annual income above $1 million to improve the state’s education and transportation sectors.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 11, 2025 Page 7 Everett welterweight Shea “Showtime” Willcox returns to the North Shore next month to fight at Revere’s Oceanside Events Center By Joe McConnell E verett welterweight boxer Shea “Showtime” Willcox (30, all by knockouts) is returning to the North Shore next month, where he will be among many of his peers scheduled to fight at the Oceanside Events Center (formerly known as the Wonderland Ballroom) in Revere on Saturday, Aug. 16. He has previously fought in Bridgewater twice and once in Brookline, but his fans won’t have to go too far next month to watch him put his unbeaten record on the line. Willcox is considered to be one of the most popular and promising boxing prospects in New England. His fight on Aug. 16 against Aldimar Silva (2228, 14 KOs) of Brazil, scheduled for four rounds, will be one of many lead-in bouts to the main light heavyweight matchup between Lynn’s James “Pitbull” Perkins (13-3-1, 9 KOs) and Swansea’s Anthony “The Gentle Savage” Andreozzi (74, 3 KOs). This fight is going to be a can’t miss regional main event, and it will ultimately decide the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USA Silver Light Heavyweight Championship. The Oceanside Events Center doors will open up at 6 p.m., with the first bout beginning at 7. All fights that night will be streamed on www.BXNGTV.com. Willcox, now 23, trains at the Broadway Boxing Club inside the old Everett High School (EHS). He’s also a twotime EHS Super Bowl champion. Last year, he was selected as the Most Outstanding Boxer at the annual New England Golden Glove Championships, and in 2018, he was victorious in the annual Rocky Marciano Tournament. Next month’s fight promoter Chris Traietti said of Willcox, “On top of a great main event, Shea Willcox is also coming home. Getting Shea a fight in mission is to provide unwavering support to firefighters and their families as they face the challenges of occupational cancer. And having local boy Willcox from Everett also fighting on next month’s card is simply an added bonus to what should be a spectacular night of fighting at the Oceanside Events Center in Revere. 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut Street Everett welterweight boxer Shea “Showtime” Willcox (3-0 all by knockouts) will be returning to the North Shore to fight at Revere’s Oceanside Events Center on Saturday, Aug. 16. Willcox, shown above, stuns his opponent with a punch during a recent fight. (File photo / Emily Harney) his home area was paramount this year. We plan to make it a recurring theme. He is a terrific talent with a loyal fanbase that traveled twice to Bridgewater for fights to support him. He is now coming back to the North Shore, where he belongs, and the sky’s the limit.” Traietti went on to say, “It’s been long overdue that Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) did an event on the North Shore, and the Oceanside Events Center is a beautiful venue. (The owners of the complex) have been a pleasure to work with. This event will be an incredible night of fights that will feature among other things a new WBC Silver U.S. champion. On top of all that, we will be raising money for the Quincy Firefighters Cancer Foundation, which as a member of the Quincy Fire Department, hits close to home for me. The foundation does amazing work, while providing critical support for our fellow firefighters, when they need it the most. “Sometimes, as a promoter, you must get creative selling a fight, but this isn’t one of those,” Traietti added. “This fight sells itself. James and Tony are two guys who refuse to take a step backwards, for better or for worse. Getting both of these guys to agree to fight was one of the easiest things that I have done all year. They were chomping at the bit. This fight is going to be a can’t miss regional main event, and it will ultimately decide the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USA Silver Light Heavyweight Championship.” Tickets for the fight night in Revere are reasonably priced at $154 (Reserved Ringside), $103 (General Seating) and $62.20 (General Admission), and are available for purchase online at www.Granite-Chin-Promotions.ticketleap.com.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 11, 2025 Page 15 APPROVE $60.9 BILLION FISCAL YEAR 2026 STATE BUDGET (H 4240) House 139-6, Senate 38-2, approved and Gov. Maura Healey signed into law, after vetoing $130 million in planned spending, a conference committee version of a $60.9 billion fi scal 2026 state budget for the fiscal year that began July 1, 2025. The House and Senate had approved diff erent versions of the budget and a conference committee hammered out this compromise version. “I’m proud to sign a budget that is fiscally responsible and protects what makes Massachusetts special,” said Gov. Healey “In Massachusetts, we are continuing to lead and do what we know works – focusing on lowering costs, protecting essential care and services and moving our economy forward by investing in housing, transportation and our schools. We are also signing this budget in a moment of great dysfunction in Washington. The President is poised to sign a bill that’s going to kick hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts residents off their health care, increase energy and groceries prices and cost people their jobs.” The budget also includes a new law, effective August 1, which will require landlords, instead of renters, to cover the cost of broker fees unless a renter is the one to hire the broker fi rst. “This is about saving you money, thousands of dollars you can now spend on whatever you need or put it away for the future,” said Healey. “And this is just one way I’m lowering costs and getting after high housing prices.” “Between fi rst and last month’s rent, a security deposit and a broker’s fee — moving to a new apartment was breaking the bank for far too many Massachusetts residents,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “In Massachusetts, we know that the best investment we can make is in our people, and this budget reflects the Senate’s continuing commitment to do so while maintaining our equal commitment to responsible money management,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “This statewide approach to investment delivers resources to every part of the state and protects our most vulnerable residents from the cruelest actions of the federal government, while our continued focus on education and mental health ensures that people have the keys to unlock the doors of opportunity.” “This fi scal year 2026 budget makes key investments that better support Massachusetts students and families, that increase access to aff ordable health care and that provide for a safer and more reliable public transportation system – all without raising taxes,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “ In a moment of incredible uncertainty at the federal level, this budget is proof that government can be both fi scally responsible and an agent of good, the kind of government that our residents deserve.” “I am fi lled with optimism as I refl ect on the outcome of the fi scal year 2026 budget conference committee,” said Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth), Ranking Republican Member of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “Through strong bipartisan collaboration, we in the House and Senate reached a consensus that not only addresses current needs but also sets a positive precedent for future partnerships.

We’ve made meaningful investments in critical areas, addressing urgent funding gaps and expanding access to higher education.” “While Massachusetts tax dollars continue to be used on housing and benefits for non-residents, this budget uses more tax dollars to create a legal fund to stop the deportation of illegal immigrants, including those who have committed violent crimes,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton), one of only two senators who voted against the budget. “Meanwhile, cities and towns across the state are struggling to balance their budgets and provide services to seniors and children being educated in our public schools, including many of the towns I represent in Worcester and Hampden County.

DeCRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE July 11, 2025 can’t support it.” “The fiscal year 2026 budget continues a completely unsustainable budget increase year over year,” said Rep. Ken Sweezey (R-Hanson), one of only six representatives who voted against the package. “A 6 percent increase from last year, nearly 50 percent increase from 2019, and nearly 140 percent increase from 2010. The commonwealth should only be paying for needs instead of wants with the extreme federal uncertainty and the impending cuts.” “Beacon Hill leaders are trying to have it both ways,” said Paul Craney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. ”They’re talking about caution and restraint while greenlighting billions in new spending, using one-time gimmicks to paper over structural imbalances and shortchanging local aid to the cities and towns they claim to represent. Local governments are in crisis. Budgets are breaking, override votes are stacking up and yet Beacon Hill refuses to share the wealth. They’re prioritizing their own pet projects while towns are forced to cut core services and raise taxes on residents.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $60.9 billion budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes Yes $7.5 BILLION INTERIM FISCAL YEAR 2026 BUDGET (H 4237) House 144-1, Senate, on a voice vote without a roll call, approved and sent to Gov. Healey a 7.5 billion interim one-month fiscal 2026 state budget, sometimes called a one-twelfth budget, to pay the state’s bills and fund accounts while Gov. Healey takes her constitutionally allotted time of ten days to review and then to veto or amend any provisions in the full $61.01 billion budget. The interim budget will only be in effect for a maximum of ten days and is superseded by the full-year budget once that takes effect. “The issue is she needs the ten days for vetoes,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano. “So, no matter when we do it, we need a one-twelfth budget.” Rep. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica), the only representative to vote against the $7.5 billion interim budget, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to explain why he voted against it. (A “Yes” vote is for the interim $7.5 billion budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL REPEATED PUBLIC NUISANCE COMPLAINTS (H 2246) – A bill heard by the Committee on Municipalities and Regional Government would empower cities and towns to hold property owners financially accountable when their properties are the source of ten or more repeated public nuisance complaints within a 1-year period. The measure holds the owner responsible for the costs associated with any subsequent police responses, as well as any other costs. “This legislation is about restoring fairness for taxpayers and ensuring safer neighborhoods,” said sponsor Rep. Bruce Ayers (D-Quincy). “When a property becomes a repeated source of disturbance, the financial burden shouldn’t fall on the community, it should fall on the property owner responsible. By holding them accountable, we give municipalities the tools they need to protect quality of life for all residents.” BAN FREE PHONE CALLS FOR SOME PRISONERS (S 1689) – The Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee held a hearing on legislation that would ban no cost phone calls for incarcerated violent criminals who have been found guilty of rape of a child, first degree murder, second degree murder, attempted murder, sexual assault, assault and battery on second offense, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, arson, stalking and armed robbery. “Unlimited phone calls for violent criminals in prison means that murderers can freely call their loved ones while the loved ones of their victims will never talk to their murdered child or spouse again,” said sponsor Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “These phone calls allow criminals to communicate with their network of associates and continue criminal activity even while incarcerated. It is primarily for these reasons that I authored this legislation to eliminate no cost calls for violent criminals.” THE COMMITTEE ON MENTAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE USE AND RECOVERY – This committee held a hearing on several bills including: AVAILABILITY OF NARCAN IN SCHOOLS (S 1422) – Would require all school districts to create a Narcan overdose prevention program. Narcan, also known by its generic name naloxone, is an emergency treatment used for the complete or partial reversal of an opioid overdose. The measure would require every school nurse to be trained in Narcan assistance and to have Narcan in the nurse’s office. Another provision requires all public schools to offer training to junior high school and high school students on how to administer naloxone hydrochloride, in nasal spray form. “I’m in the camp that Narcan should be available everywhere — absolutely everywhere, including in our schools,” said sponsor Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield). “It absolutely terrifies me that a growing number of high school students are using drugs, many of which could be unknowingly contaminated with a deadly contaminant like fentanyl. We can and must increase access to these life-saving medications in our communities, because in those terrifying minutes when an overdose occurs, every second is so critical to prevent death.” USE OF PSYCEHDELICS IN MENTAL HEALTH CARE (S 1400) – Would establish a pilot program under the Department of Public Health, to explore the use of psychedelics in mental health care. The proposal authorizes a maximum of three specialized mental health clinics, excluding any tied to the cannabis industry, psychedelic development or pharmaceutical companies, to use psychedelics under strict supervision. Participating clinics are tasked with reporting patient outcomes to contribute to the development of refined treatment protocols and regulatory frameworks for psychedelic use in mental health care. “Last session, I served as cochair of the Special Joint Committee on Initiative Petitions, where we heard heartfelt and compelling testimony from veterans, first responders and others with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, who have used psychedelic treatment to address their trauma,” said sponsor Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington). “These advocates were in support of 2024’s Question 4, a broad measure that would have allowed people to possess, use and even grow their own psychedelics in the commonwealth, which was soundly rejected by voters. Given the developing nature of psychedelic treatment, I believe my legislation establishing a supervised pilot program would provide us with the opportunity to take a measured approach in evaluating the effectiveness of this treatment, while also allowing residents with significant mental health challenges to access an alternative form of treatment if they choose.” BEACON | SEE PAGE 17

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 11, 2025 Page 17 BEACON | FROM PAGE 16 STUDENT ID CARDS AND SUIThe salt deduction increase resident Trump signed off on the big beautiful bill on July 4, 2025. This legislation contained many various provisions, not just tax provisions. However, one big tax provision was the increase in the SALT (State and Local Tax) deduction. Since the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act enacted in 2017, this deduction was limited to $10,000 as an itemized deduction on Schedule A. A taxpayer added up his or her state income taxes, excise taxes and real estate taxes in order to include on Schedule A. However, the amount actually deducted could not exceed $10,000. Many taxpayers pay far in excess of $10,000 in those types of taxes, especially for taxpayers in states such as Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and California. With the 2025 standard deduction at $30,000 for a married couple ($33,200 for a married couple if both are 65 years of age or older), with such a limit on the SALT deduction under the old law, many taxpayers would take the standard deduction because the total of their SALT deduction, charitable contributions, medical expenses and mortgage interest would not exceed the standard deduction. For a single person, the 2025 standard deduction is $15,000 ($17,000 if 65 years of age or older). This new law now allows taxpayers to claim up to $40,000 in SALT deductions thereby putting them in a better position to itemized their deductions. The SALT deduction for 2025 begins to phase out for taxpayers who have income of $500,000 or more. The $40,000 SALT deduction limit as well as the $500,000 income limit are increased by 1% per year up until December 31, 2029. For calendar year 2030, the SALT deduction will revert back to P $10,000. The $40,000 SALT deduction is phased out as your income exceeds $500,000 by an amount equal to 30% of the excess income amount. As an example, if your 2025 income is $600,000, the phase out of the SALT deduction would be equal to 30% of $100,000, or $30,000, leaving you with a SALT deduction of only $10,000. The SALT deduction is completely phased out with income of $633,333 as $133,333 x 30% equals $40,000. It is difficult to claim medical expenses for most taxpayers as an itemized deduction as they must exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income before you get to deduct one dollar worth of medical expenses. Prior to this most recent legislation, the vast majority of taxpayers ended up taking the standard deduction. This new bill will allow many more taxpayers to itemize their deductions on Schedule A. However, the state income deduction and real estate tax deduction will have to be higher than the standard deduction, unless there are charitable contributions and medical expenses that bring you over that threshold. The new bill also preserved the end-around for the state income tax deduction wherein many states enacted tax legislation that allows for pass through entities such as S Corporations and LLC’s to pay the state income tax based upon the earnings of the business and take a deduction on the federal return at the entity level. Then, the individual owner can take a tax credit on his or her personal return equal to 90% (in Massachusetts) of the state income taxes actually paid by the entity. We’ll just have to see how this all plays out this upcoming tax season after the first of the year. Joseph D. Cataldo is an estate planning/elder law attorney, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner, AICPA Personal Financial Specialist and holds a masters degree in taxation. CIDE LINE (H 2221/S 1384) – Would require that newly printed student ID cards for public school students in grades 6-12 and students in public colleges, include the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline phone numbers and text message numbers. The line directs all callers to trained call takers who are available to provide free, confidential emotional support for those in crisis. The measure allows schools that have a supply of unissued student identification cards that do not comply with this new requirement, to issue the old student identification cards to students until the remaining supply is depleted. In 2024, the House and Senate approved different versions of the bill, but the legislative session ended before the two sides could agree on a version. “We must ensure that every student has the information and access they need to receive critical support and resources,” said House sponsor Rep. Jack Lewis (D-Framingham). “Reaching out for help can be difficult, and findBEACON | SEE PAGE 19 OBITUARY ~ 4th Year Anniversary ~ Marguerite P.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 11, 2025 Page 19 BEACON | FROM PAGE 17 ing the right information isn’t always easy. That’s why this bill is so important. Nineteen other states have already passed similar legislation, and I’m hopeful that Massachusetts will be next in ensuring every student has access to the life-saving support of the 988 Suicide and Crisis Hotline right on their student ID.” “Suicide is a leading cause of death for people of all ages in the United States, and young people are particularly at risk,” said Senate sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton). “According to a study published by the National Center for Health Statistics at the end of 2022, suicide was the second leading cause of death for Americans aged 15-24, representing a 56 percent increase from the previous decade. Massachusetts’ most recent Youth Risk Behavior Survey found that, in 2021, only 11.3 percent of students asked for help from a doctor, counselor or hotline before their suicide attempt. That’s well-below the (already low) 24.3 percent of students who asked for help in 2019.” - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI25P3392EA Estate of: RUTH MEDUGNO Also known as: RUTH M.

Quealy, owner A.G. Quealy Towing, Inc. June 27, July 3, 11, 2025 QUOTABLE QUOTES “Electric vehicles (EVs) are cheaper to operate and maintain and access to charging shouldn’t be the determining factor in the decision to go electric. By supporting innovative charging solutions, we’re tackling some of the most persistent barriers to EV adoption head-on. These efforts will catalyze real-world, community-driven projects that reduce pollution, drive economic growth and move Massachusetts closer to a clean transportation future.” --- Massachusetts Clean Energy Center CEO Dr. Emily Reichert announcing that 36 Bay State cities and towns will receive funding to expand EV charging stations. “It is critical that the state steps in to ensure that schools are protecting all students — without exception. Every day without intervention allows these districts to stand idly by while students of color are bullied. The damage inflicted by racial harassment doesn’t end when the school day does — it can reverberate across a child’s lifetime.” --- Erika Richmond Walton, a Lawyers for Civil Rights attorney, on representing two Black students who say they have been racially bullied at their schools. The two formally withdrew their federal civil rights complaints, citing a lack of confidence in the federal government’s ability to protect them and refiled their complaints with Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell’s office. “The state is well-positioned to achieve these ambitious nature protection and restoration goals, but … needs to invest much more to make that happen. No other investment of public dollars will return as many benefits to Massachusetts residents. This will boost an outdoor recreation industry already contributing $13 billion and 100,000 jobs to the state’s economy, protect us against impacts of floods and extreme heat and improve our health and well-being at a time of soaring healthcare costs.” ---David O’Neill, President and CEO of Mass Audubon testifying before the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources in favor of legislation that calls for a dedicated sustainable revenue stream to protect and restore land, water, urban greenspace and outdoor recreational access across Massachusetts. “With this expanded and permanent funding for the Community Investment Tax Credits program, we’re ensuring that every corner of the state has resources to build housing and drive economic development. This is a smart, community-driven approach to building economic security and housing opportunities.” ---Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll announcing the Healey Administration is awarding $13.2 million in grants to nonprofit Community Development Corporations to support programming that includes affordable housing development and preservation, community planning and economic development initiatives, homeownership assistance, financial education, foreclosure prevention, savings programs and job training and job creation programs.
