There won’t be a preliminary election or primary because the slates for Mayor, City Council and School Committee contain only two or fewer candidates per seat. “The fi eld is not overly crowded,” City Clerk Sergio Cornelio feels. “A crowded fi eld would mean there’d be at least one primary.” The only wrinkle is whether Everett High School Music Department Head and longtime Marching Band Director Eugene O’Brien, second, left, receives the 2024-25 U.S. Army Award of Excellence at Everett Memorial Stadium during graduation in June. Posing with O’Brien and representing the Army during the ceremony are, from left, Sergeant First Class Baniaga, Sergeant First Class Pascal and Staff Sgt Lopez.

Jose Vasquez, a/k/a “Cholo,” a/k/a “Little Crazy,” 31, was sentenced by Senior U.S. Dis50 trict Court Judge William G. Young to 25 years in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release. In May 2025, Vasquez pleaded guilty to violent crime in aid of racketeering. Vasquez was already serving a 212-month prison sentence for a May 2018 federal conviction for conspiracy to participate in a racketeering enterprise. In total, Vasquez will serve a total of 37 years for his MS-13-related crimes. William Pineda Portillo, a/k/a Lawrence A.

He is subject to deportation upon completion of the imposed sentence. In May 2023, Pineda Portillo pleaded guilty to conspiracy to participate in a racketeering enterprise (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act [RICO]) conspiracy. Pineda Portillo and Vasquez were indicted by a federal grand jury along with other MS-13 members in September 2024. 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, the victim was found with approximately 10 stab wounds to his chest and back and 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 MS-13 members and the victim in Allston. Driving a vehicle 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 an 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. An undercover recording obtained approximately six weeks after the murder captured one MS-13 member acknowledging his participation in the murder and other gang members disciplining him for leaving Massachusetts after the murder without the gang’s permission. 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 a cooperating witness 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. 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. The case announcement was made by the following: SENTENCED | SEE PAGE 7

S ta t e officials warn Massachusetts residents that the Mass. Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and Registry of Motor Vehicles will NEVER text or email looking for payment of an outstanding bill with a text message. “A lifetime of commitment to the great City of Everett” Don’t get “smished” by a fraudulent text message asking for a money transfer or any other solicitation of private and/or personal information. (Courtesy graphic) By Steve Freker D on’t get “smished”! Cybercriminals are relentless and the public is being urged to be aware of a new scam unfolding on your personal cellphone. Mass. Registry of Motor Vehicles chief Colleen Oglivie on Tuesday warned Massachusetts residents about a new, massive scam involving fraudulent text messages sent to cellphones requesting payments and personal financial information. A text message purporting to be from the state Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is being used to scam residents, officials said. This is a scam, according to Oglivie, who serves as Mass. Registrar of Motor Vehicles. “Be vigilant if you receive this kind of text message and never click on any links included,” Oglivie warned. “The RMV or DOT will never text anyone seeking any type of payment.” Mass. state officials also warned residents to never share or provide personal financial information, such as credit card or bank account numbers or PINs. The latest version of the phoHere is a copy of the fraudulent message appearing in people’s text messages across the state. ny text messages appears to be a “final notice” from MassDOT that tells people they have an outstanding traffic ticket and threatens to suspend their registration and driving privileges if they don’t submit payment by a certain date. The fake messages are what’s known as “smishing,” a scam in which cybercriminals use texts in an attempt to trick people into providing personal information or sending money to them. A previous, widespread “smishing” scam used texts claiming to be from “E-ZPass Toll Services,” instructing drivers to pay outstanding toll balances. Here are some tips and advice for residents seeking to avoid becoming a victim of the ongoing scams. How to Protect Yourself • Be wary of unsolicited messages: Don’t click on links or call numbers from unknown senders. • Verify the sender: If you’re unsure about a message, contact the company or service directly through their official website or phone number. • Don’t share sensitive information via text: Banks and othTHANK YOU to the 486 Voters who signed my nomination papers!

Starting out at the Parlin for one year, O’Brien quickly moved on to the high school, and has been there ever since. He will be beginning his 30th year on the Elm Street campus in September, and has already been inducted into the Massachusetts Music Educators Drum Corps and the American Buglers Hall of Fames. But during the EHS graduation ceremony in June, O’Brien was honored for his love of the military by the U.S. Army. “I was very surprised by the honor, but have always been a big advocate for all of our Armed Services and the men and women who serve in them to protect our freedoms. I have a great deal of respect for all of them, because of what they do is extremely important to all of us.” O’Brien said. “My wife, Carol, in particular, was the fi rst female to break the all-male barrier to serve in the United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps in Washington, D.C.” If We Happen To Meet By Accident ...

Go With the BEST It Doesn’t Get BETTER! RENTAL CARS Available O’Brien’s appreciation for the military goes back to his high school days in Waltham, when he joined the Marine ROTC in 1981. He stayed in it for four years, completing the stint after his sophomore year in college. While on duty, and taking advantage of his musical abilities, he was the designated company bugler. O’Brien’s love for music started early on in his life as a fi rst grader in Waltham. He fi rst took up the drums, and then the violin in the fourth grade. He then learned the trumpet the following year, and remembered going to Everett Memorial Stadium to watch the CYO competitions. Little did he realize at the time that the city was going to be a major part of his life as an adult. “The only thing that I can remember about Everett Stadium in those days was all the dust and dirt from the infi eld that made up the baseball diamond,” O’Brien said. “I didn’t know at the time that I’d actually have a career in Everett many years later. But the passion for what I’m doing now started right here, while attending those competitions.” O’Brien says that he’s capable of playing 14 diff erent instruments to varying degrees, something that was considered to be a prerequisite if somebody wanted to become a music teacher back then. O’Brien was a member of or an instructor of the Waltham High School and UMass Minuteman Marching Bands, Greater Boston Alliance Drum & Bugle Corps, Rhode Island Matadors Drum & Bugle Corps, Fitchburg Kingsmen Drum Corps, Connecticut Hurricanes, Syracuse Brigadiers, New York Rochester Crusaders, Fusion Core New Jersey, Long Island Sunrisers, Sandwich Marching Band, Leominster Marching Band, Norwood High Marching Band, Biddeford Maine Marching Band, North Stokes Marching Band of North Carolina, Phoenix Drum & Bugle Corps out of Waltham, Boston Crusaders and Nashua Spartans. In 1983, his senior year at Waltham High, O’Brien was a proud participant of the Waltham Marching and Jazz Concert Orchestra Choir after it survived Prop 2 ½. “The Show Choir was a new concept back then, and we had a young vibrant teacher to make it work,” he said. O’Brien went to UMass Amherst, where he majored in engineering with a minor in music. He also belonged to its 259-member Minuteman Marching Band. In Everett, O’Brien has been the music director and teacher of the high school’s marching band for 20 years, while being an assistant for 10 years, when Charlie Poole and Eric Holmes were in charge on separate occasions. He became the director once again after Poole stepped down in 2018. He has also been the school’s department head in music (Marching Arts) throughout the past 29 years, and has taught piano lab, rock band and concert band courses, but with a staff of 18 up from the original seven he can now solely oversee the department to go along with his responsibilities as the school band mentor. O’Brien is looking forward to directing 75 outstanding and dedicated band members this coming school year after they utilized the summer months practicing in the band room, with the 202526 student band leaders Ashley Pineda Ramos and Allison Alarcon Acosta leading the way. Coming up next month, there will be a two-week, eight-hour per day camp to get more youngsters interested in becoming future band members. The EHS Marching Band is going to be busy pretty much every day during the school year. They will be practicing Mondays and Wednesdays in the fall from 3:30-7:30 p.m. in the Rivergreen Park Parking Lot, plus on Saturdays for eight hours followed by competitions or diff erent events like the St. Cosmos Festival in Cambridge, presided over by State Senator Sal DiDomenico, a former band dad. They are also scheduled to perform at eight Crimson Tide football games, seven competitions, four parades – including the Plymouth Veterans Day Parade – and the Everett Christmas Tree Lighting Show.

Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 25, 2025 Local municipal offi cials join statewide push urging Gov. Healey to support keeping food waste out of trash City offi cials from Everett, Malden, Revere & Saugus join group from 13 other communities calling for increased, consistent composting The following is from info provided by the Clean Water Fund (www.cleanwater.org). W hile residents across the Commonwealth have just experienced a record-breaking heatwave in some areas, municipal offi cials are acting on a less-often-discussed contributor to the climate crisis: food waste. Fifty-one municipal offi cials from 17 cities and towns across Massachusetts made that connection and urged the state to take action in a letter delivered this week to Governor Maura Healey and Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) Commissioner Bonnie Heiple. Included were a number of local city and town offi cials, including Everett City Council President Stephanie Martins, Malden Councillor-at-Large Carey McDonald, Revere City Council President Marc Silvestri and Revere Councillors Juan Pablo Jaramillo (at-Large), Ira Novoselsky (Ward 2), Michelle Kelley (at-Large), Robert Haas III (at-Large) and Angela Guarino-Sawaya (Ward 5) and Saugus Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta. While landfi ll space in Massachusetts is rapidly fi lling up, food waste decomposing in landfi lls produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. And according to EPA data, landfi lls are one of the largest sources of methane emissions in the Bay State. MassDEP estimates that food waste accounts for more than 25 percent of the waste stream after recycling, or over one million tons per year. “We ask the State to put in A rare opportunity for first-time homebuyers to own an affordable condo in Malden! o own an affordable Affordable Homes for Sale in Malden! omes alden!!n!ldeenalden omes alden! ome Scan QR to apply APPLY ONLINE OR IN PERSON How to apply www.tndinc.org 4 Gerrish Ave Rear, Chelsea, MA 02150 Applications also available by mail or email.

We need the resources to build out these programs into comprehensive municipal services that make it easier and aff ordable for working class communities and their residents to partake in reducing methane emissions and meeting out the Commonwealth’s emissions goals,” said Revere Councillor-at-Large Juan Pablo Ja272 Cross Street LLC and Winn Management do not discriminate because of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, handicap, disability, national origin, genetic information, ancestry, children, familial status, marital status or public assistance recipiency in the sale or transfer of apartment units, buildings, and related facilities, including land that they own or control.

In 2024, Clean Water Action and MASSPIRG launched a campaign called Plate to Planet with a goal of reducing food waste and diverting all organics from disposal. To reach the goals in its 2030 Solid Waste Master Plan, the state must more than double its rate of food diversion from landfills and incinerators. Since the organization’s founding during the campaign to pass the landmark Clean Water Act in 1972, Clean Water Action has worked to win strong health and environmental protections by bringing issue expertise, solution-oriented thinking, and people power to the table. Following is the text of the letter sent to Governor Healey: The Honorable Maura Healey Massachusetts State House 24 Beacon Street Boston, MA 02133 Dear Governor Healey, We, the undersigned officials from various municipalities across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, write to you today with a pressing concern and an urgent call to action. As stewards of our communities and the environment, we are interested in expanding our efforts to divert food waste from landfi lls, but we lack the infrastructure and funding to develop comprehensive local or FOOD WASTE | SEE PAGE 10

With the Commonwealth of Massachusetts support, we could expand our composting eff orts. We ask the State to put in place concrete plans, funding and technical assistance to increase composting infrastructure, working in partnership with communities like ours to divert food waste and minimize the climate impact of discarded food. An expansion of sustainable waste management practices will benefi t our residents and our economy. Communities like ours are ready to partner with the state to expand composting in MA. • Now is the time for Massachusetts to accelerate progress, as we must more than double our rate of organic waste diversion to meet the state’s 2030 solid waste master plan goals. As you well know, the state’s landfills are filling up. In 2022, Massachusetts collectively exported 2,590,000 tons of waste, an increase of 20,000 tons from 2021 to 2022. Exported waste is costly, often being sent to other states as far away as Alabama. Massachusetts exports wood, brick, asphalt and other debris, much of which is banned from our landfills. That waste accounted for almost a third of what’s buried in Maine’s state landfi ll. Every year, Bay Staters throw away 6 million tons of garbage. Nearly 25% of that garbage is food. Some of this food is likely to be edible while other food waste is better handled via composting. Meanwhile, a recent U.S. Census survey found that 21.9 percent of Massachusetts households with children do not have access to suffi cient or quality food, despite the abundance produced. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and while landfills such as Chicopee, Crapo Hill, Fitchburg-Westminster, Granby, Plainville, Quarry Hills, Southbridge, and Taunton collect landfi ll gas and use it as an energy source, according to EPA data, landfills are one of the largest sources of methane emissions in our state. The environmental and health implications of methane emissions are well-documented, contributing to cliExperts say that discarded food waste accounts for up to 25% of the total waste stream in Massachusetts landfi lls (shown above). Local municipal offi cials are calling on Gov. Maura Healey to support responses to address the situation.

These impacts align closely with our shared commitment to environmental justice, ensuring that all Massachusetts residents have the right to a clean and healthy environment. We urge you to take executive action to spur the diversion of organic waste from landfi lls. By implementing and supporting policies that encourage composting and other organic waste processing methods, we can signifi cantly reduce methane emissions and slow the rate at which landfi lls are fi lling. The benefits of such actions extend far beyond environmental protection. Food diversion and composting programs should be considered an environmental justice priority to reduce pollution in vulnerable and over-burdened communities. Diverting organic waste from landfi lls can also unlock numerous benefi cial products, such as compost, which enriches our soil and supports local agriculture.

TurfMutt’s free K-8 curriculum provides fun and engaging ways for kids to keep their minds active while they spend time outdoors. “TurfMutt’s free educational resources spark children’s natural curiosity about the world around them,” says Kris Kiser, President & CEO of the TurfMutt Foundation. “With TurfMutt’s help, a simple trip to the neighborhood park can become an exciting journey of discovery, teaching kids how our living landscapes work and how important they are to our communities.” Four TurfMutt Foundation lesson plans to keep kids learning this summer: • Discover the Wonders of Earth Lessons such as “What’s in One Square Foot of Earth? A Lot!” teach children to observe the hidden ecosystems thriving in a small patch of grass or garden bed. Backyards and local parks provide easily accessible environments for these fascinating, ground-level discoveries. • Investigate How Nature Works TurfMutt sparks scientific curiosity with hands-on experiments through lessons like “Do Trees Breathe? Let’s Do an Experiment to Find Out!” By encouraging children to spot plant life, insects, and natural cycles, TurfMutt turns a casual stroll into a living science laboratory. • Understand Nature’s Superpowers Lessons such as “Nature’s Flood Stoppers: Trees” illustrate the environmental superpowers of the landscapes in our parks and backyards and showcase nature as a powerful ally for community well-being. These green spaces help manage stormwater, clean the air, and provide critical habitats. • Become an Environmental Detective Through activities such as “Stormwater Sleuthing,” children can learn about water flow, pollution prevention, and how to keep their favorite parks and yards clean and healthy.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 25, 2025 Page 15 THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives’ and senators’ votes on roll calls from the week of July 14-18. REPRODUCTIVE AND TRANSGENDER CARE PROTECTIONS – THE SHIELD ACT (H 4271) House 130-29, approved legislation, dubbed by sponsors as the Shield Act, that supporters say would strengthen health care protections in the Bay State. The bill is designed to fortify protections for people seeking and providing reproductive and transgender care. The Senate has already approved a diff erent version of the proposal and a House-Senate conference committee will eventually hammer out a compromise version of the measure. The measure would prohibit state agencies, employees and law enforcement from cooperating with investigations by other states or the federal government, into reproductive or gender affi rming health care that is legally protected in Massachusetts. It also would restrict businesses that manage electronic health records from sharing patient data connected to these services. Other provisions empower the Department of Public Health to remove drugs prescribed in connection with reproductive or gender affi rming health care from the prescription monitoring program; prohibit the state’s Center for Health Information and Analysis and the Health Connector from providing information to other entities, states or the federal government regarding legally protected health care activities in Massachusetts; forbid entities working with these agencies from using data collected to target patients or providers; protect attorneys licensed in Massachusetts from removal or discipline for advising or representing clients on the topics of reproductive or transgender health care services; and forbid insurance companies from discriminating against or penalizing nonprofi ts who off er reproductive and gender affirming health care services. “As the Trump Administration and Republicans across the country continue to target individuals for exercising their right to make their own health care decisions in consultation with their doctor, this legislation is representative of the House’s commitment to preserving that fundamental right,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “The Shield Act builds on the commonwealth’s proud history of preserving and expanding access to reproductive and gender-affi rming care by establishing new safeguards around patient data and by protecting health care professionals who provide that vital care.” “When patients and doctors engage in legal healthcare activities here in Massachusetts, they will have the peace of mind that their personal information will remain private and that their constitutional rights remain protected rights,” said Rep. Michael Day (D-Stoneham), House Chair of the Committee on the Judiciary. “Massachusetts will always protect and preserve the constitutional and civil rights of our people to make their own healthcare decisions, especially in the face of political crusades of the federal government and the misguided eff orts of other states seeking to interfere with those decisions made here.” “Those who voted in favor of [the bill] have not only encouraged Massachusetts physicians to break abortion laws in other states but have approved protecting their illegal activities as well,” said Myrna Maloney Flynn President of Mass Citizens for Life which opposed the measure. “Going forward, Massachusetts abortionists who prescribe mifepristone to women in areas where it is outlawed have more ways to hide their crimes and conceal their identities. The bill goes far beyond protecting unethical doctors though. It all but assures the inability to hold accountable those physicians whose actions result in serious injuries to women who consume the abortion pill without any medical oversight. We look forward to the likely federal response in the coming weeks.” “No Massachusetts resident, through the administration of so-called telehealth abortions or through the shipment of mifepristone to other states, has the right to impede the laws of those states,” said bill opponent Catholic Action League Executive Director C.J. Doyle. “By prohibiting Massachusetts law enforcement from cooperating with federal and out of state authorities, and by authorizing Massachusetts residents and offi cials to ignore subpoenas, refuse to execute warrants and reject records requests, this legislation essentially immunizes Bay State residents from the consequences of breaking the laws of other states. Doyle continued, “It represents a repudiation of both the letter and the spirit of the ‘full faith and credit’ clause of the U.S. Constitution. This divisive and supremacist measure, aimed at nullifying laws which Bay State legislators fi nd objectionable, creates a dangerous precedent and establishes a slippery slope. Do other states then retaliate by refusing to extradite criminals to Massachusetts? Do states, with diff ering positions on abortion and gender dysphoria end up imposing sanctions and boycotts upon one another?” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote Is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes EXPAND PRIVACYPROTECTION (H 4271) House 30-129, rejected an amendment that would expand current law which provides privacy protection for people receiving reproductive health care services or gender-affi rming health care. The amendment would expand current law by also protecting the privacy of the “refusal by any person to obtain reproductive health care services, gender-affi rming health care services or any other preventative medical care on behalf of themselves or their minor children.” “I supported [the amendment] because the original bill … while vital for safeguarding sensitive medical information, primarily focused its privacy protections on the provision of reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare services,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Mike Soter (R-Bellingham). “To truly ensure equitable and comprehensive medical privacy for all residents in the commonwealth, this amendment extends those same robust protections to individuals who make deeply personal decisions to refuse reproductive health care services, gender-affi rming health care services or any other preventative medical care for themselves or their minor children. This amendment is not about allowing people to refuse this care for their children, it is about addressing the inconsistency where stronger privacy safeguards were offered for some medical information but not for others, solely based on the type of care involved.” “I opposed this amendment because it undercuts the very protections the bill seeks to amplify and is contrary to our current consent laws for abortions for minors,” said Rep. Adrianne Ramos (D-North Andover). “This amendment creates a proactive right of a parent to refuse a broad spectrum of care for their minor children, without exceptions, which means through age 18. It carves out no language to allow courts to weigh in if the parents are not married or are separated. In essence, it gives one parent the ability to interrupt or prevent even common reproductive care such as birth control and gender-affi rming care such as hormones.

Joseph McGonagle No DEBT COLLECTION (S 2537) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that supporters said would protect consumers and keep people from being pushed into fi nancial ruin if they are sued for fi - nancial debt. They said the new law would make debt collection practices fairer, protect wages and make clear that no person can be imprisoned for unpaid consumer debt. Provisions include expanding the amount of an individual’s paycheck that is shielded from wage garnishment; establishing a 5-year statute of limitations on debt collection; and reducing from 12 percent to 3 percent the maximum interest rate that can be imposed on judgments on consumer debt. “Those caught in the grip of a debt cycle know all too well the often-predatory practices used by debt collectors, and the cripBEACON | SEE PAGE 16

Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough), Chair of the Committee on Financial Services. “While the Debt Collection Fairness Act will not eliminate debt or an obligation to pay, the bill does provide a lifeline and opportunity for hope for those caught in the deepest depths of this spiral so that families have some room to breathe, to move forward and break this debilitating cycle.” “President Trump is dismantling federal government agencies dedicated to protecting consumers,” said sponsor Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Marlborough). “Here in Massachusetts, I am proud that the state Senate is voting on my bill— the Debt Collection Fairness Act—to provide protections from the predatory practices of debt collectors for working class families.” “I’m pleased the Senate has Gambling Loss Deduction s part of the big beautiful bill passed by both branches or Congress, and signed by President Trump on July 4, 2025, was a change in the amount of gambling losses that can be claimed as an itemized deduction on your 2026 Federal income tax return. For gambling losses incurred in 2026, only 90 percent of such losses will be able to be deducted on Schedule A as an itemized deduction. Needless to say, the gambling industry is not happy about this provision. If a taxpayer had $10,000 in gambling winnings in 2026 and $10,000 in gambling losses, only $9,000 in gambling losses would be deductible as an itemized deduction. The result is the taxpayer is going to pay income taxes even after not having made any money in gambling for the year. Keep in mind that you can only claim gambling losses as an itemized deduction. Therefore, if you end up claiming the standard deduction due to it being higher than the total of your itemized deductions, you end up not claiming a gambling loss and all of the gambling winnings are taxable income with no offsetting losses. With the increase in the SALT (state and local tax) deduction from $10,000 to $40,000, A there will be more taxpayers that will end up itemizing their deductions and therefore would then be able to claim 90% of their gambling losses in 2026. For the calendar year 2025, you can still claim 100 percent of your gambling losses if you itemize your deductions. Gambling losses have always been limited to gambling winnings. That has not changed under the new legislation for the calendar year 2025. However, for the fi rst time, only 90% of gambling losses can be utilized to off set gambling winnings in calendar year 2026. This could be a very big deal for professional gamblers. They may have signifi cant winnings yet only get the 90% deduction. This is intended of course to raise tax revenue to help off set loss of revenue due to other tax provisions in this new legislation. On July 7, 2025, Nevada Representative Dina Titus introduced legislation to restore the 100 percent deduction for gamblers. She named the bill “My Fair Bet Act”, which calls for a fair taxation policy with respect to gambling winnings and losses. The American Gaming Association is obviously supporting her bill. I doubt, now that the law has passed, the Republican controlled congress will vote in favor of her bill. Joseph D.

Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “This long overdue legislation will protect individuals from being pushed over a financial cliff due to unsavory debt collectors who prey upon people experiencing fi - nancial hardship, with marginalized communities often being disproportionally affected. It’s more important than ever for the commonwealth to stand up and protect these basic consumer rights in the wake of protections disappearing at the federal level.” The bill was approved by the Senate in the 2023-2024 session but died in the House Ways and Means Committee and never reached the House fl oor for debate and a vote. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes CHILD CUSTODY CASES (S 2550) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that would align Massachusetts with the other 49 states by adopting the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA).

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 25, 2025 Page 17 Say nr Sa a B y Senior Seni by Jim Miller Beware of the Medicare Advantage Trap f th M di Dear Savvy Senior, I will be enrolling in Medicare in a few months and would like to know if I initially enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, am I able to switch back to original Medicare and get a supplemental (Medigap) policy and prescription drug plan later with without paying a fi ne? Almost 65 Dear Almost, You won’t be subject to any fi nes for switching Medicare plans, but you will be subject to medical underwriting for the supplemental (Medigap) policy. That means the private insurance companies that offer these plans can deny you coverage or charge you a lot more for preexisting conditions. This is known as the Medicare Advantage trap. Here’s what you should know. Understanding MA Plans Medicare Advantage plans (also known as Medicare Part C) are government approved health plans sold by private insurance companies that you can choose in place of original Medicare. The vast majority of Advantage plans are managed-care policies such as HMOs or PPOs that require you to get your care within a network of doctors. If you join an Advantage plan, the plan will provide all your Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) coverage like original Medicare does. But many Advantage plans also off er extra health perks like dental, hearing and vision coverage along with gym/fi tness memberships, and most plans include prescription drug coverage too. Medicare Advantage plans are also cheaper than if you got original Medicare, plus a separate Part D drug plan and a Medigap policy. This can be very attractive to new enrollees who are relatively healthy and don’t require much medical care. But the benefi ts and networks of Advantage plans can change from year to year. And if you get care outside the networks, you’ll usually pay more – sometimes a lot more. Advantage plans are also criticized for pre-authorization requirements which can delay or deny patient access to medical care. The rap on Medicare Advantage has always been that they’re great when you’re healthy and don’t require much health care, but depending on the plan, may not be so great if you get sick. With original Medicare, benefits remain the same and you can use any provider that accepts Medicare (most doctor’s do). But original Medicare has coverage gaps (deductibles, coinsurance and copayments) that can be very expensive, which is why you’ll need a supplemental (Medigap) plan off ered by a private insurer. If you opt for original Medicare when you’re fi rst eligible, insurers are required to issue you a Medigap policy and can’t charge you more based on your health status. In most states, Medigap plans are automatically available only in the fi rst six months after an enrollee becomes eligible for Medicare. But if you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan when you’re fi rst eligible, you’ll miss the Medigap enrollment window, which means an insurer can refuse to write you a Medigap policy or charge you a lot more for signing up later. And in case you’re wondering, you can’t buy a Medigap policy while you’re in a Medicare Advantage plan. There are, however, four states — Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine and New York — that prohibit insurers from denying a Medigap policy to eligible applicants, including people with pre-existing conditions.

The measure also allows the city or town to determine the amount of any new tax. “This legislation grants municipalities the freedom to use tax incentives to push commercial landlords toward reinvestment and renewal of their rental properties by finding new tenants or converting to other uses the municipality deems desirable, such as housing, civic spaces or mixed-use developments based on their community’s needs and planning objectives,” said sponsor Rep. Adam Scanlon (D-North Attleborough). “This bill would provide another tool to our cities and towns to address excessively vacant properties that otherwise would continue to go unused and therefore lead to non-maintenance and deterioration.” S ca n l on c o n t i n ue d , “Throughout Massachusetts, numerous traditional shopping malls are facing prolonged decline due to various consumer and economic trends. Vacant stores and underused commercial properties lead to decreased property values in the vicinity, strain municipal services and diminish once-bustling centers of local economic activity. When mall owners permit these vacancies to continue without reinvestment or redevelopment efforts, the surrounding communities suffer through lost tax revenue and neighborhood stagnation.” PROHIBIT AGE DISCRIMINATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS (H 662) – A bill heard by the Education Committee would prohibit any person admitted to any public school from being discriminated against, based on age, in obtaining the advantages, privileges and courses of study in that school. “[My bill] would help strengthen the Massachusetts School system,” said sponsor Rep. Kelly Pease (R-Westfield). “This bill would allow students to be placed at the grade level that matches their ability to learn and not by artificial age requirements. By allowing students to meet their full potential, it would keep children from being bored and remain engaged in the learning process.” JUNIOR OPERATOR’S LICENSE (JOL) FUND (S 2415) A bill that would establish a JOL Fund to provide financial assistance to students from disadvantaged backgrounds who cannot afford to pay for driver education courses was heard by the Transportation Committee. The fund, which would be managed by the Registry of Motor vehicles, would be supported financially through various sources, including grants and public and private gifts. Eligibility for assistance will be based on participation in programs such as free or reduced lunch, MassHealth, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or the Residential Assistance for Families in Transition Program (RAFT). The measure also would also allow junior operators to travel with passengers under 18 after 90 days – replacing current law which allows it after six months. “The cost of driver’s education programs in Massachusetts is high, which can disenfranchise low- to moderate-income families who may need a licensed teenager in the home to transport family members, and teenagers themselves who may require a license to get to and from work, school or activities,” said sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). DRINK SPIKING (S 293) – The Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure held a hearing on a proposal that would require establishments that serve alcohol to be consumed on the premises to, upon request, provide a lid with a customer’s drink. The measure also requires the establishment to post a notice, in a prominent and conspicuous location, informing patrons that lids are available. “Drink spiking continues to be an alarming risk for people going out, especially as drugs are increasingly easy to administer undetected and many victims are often unable to remember what happened to them until hours later, if at all,” said sponsor Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield). “It is imperative that we do all we can to prevent these terrible incidents and ensure that establishments are providing drink covers and making patrons aware is an important step in the right direction.” SUSPEND LICENSES OF RENTAL BROKERS WHO DISCRIMINATE (S 245) – Another bill heard by the Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure would streamline the process of suspending the license of a rental broker determined by Mass Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) or the Board of Registration of Real Estate Brokers to have engaged in discriminatory rental practices. The measure also would mandate fair housing training for real estate brokers and salespeople. “Housing discrimination remains a painful reality in Massachusetts, particularly for Black renters and families who rely on housing vouchers,” said sponsor Sen. Adam Gomez (D-Springfield). “Despite existing laws, the protections we’ve promised too often fall short in practice. [This bill] is about changing that. This legislation creates real accountabilBEACON | SEE PAGE 19

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 25, 2025 Page 19 BEACON | FROM PAGE 18 ity by ensuring that discrimination has consequences, and it strengthens the systems meant to uphold fairness in our housing market. Everyone deserves a fair chance at a safe, stable home—and this bill moves us closer to making that a reality.” BAN SMOKING IN CARS WITH CHILDREN (H 2443) – The Public Health Committee held a hearing on a measure that would prohibit smoking in any motor vehicle in which there is a child who is required to be in a child passenger restraint. Under Massachusetts law, children must use a restraint until they are at least eight years old or at least 57 inches tall. The measure imposes a $100 fi ne on drivers who violate the smoking ban. The proposal also prohibits a police offi cer from searching a motor vehicle, its contents, the driver or a passenger solely because of a violation of this law. It also prohibits the violation from being used as evidence of contributory negligence by the driver in any civil action and requires offi cers, for 90 days after the new law is in eff ect, to give only a warning and not a citation to a driver who violates this law. Supporters say that second-hand smoke causes respiratory problems, ear infections and mental health disorders including depression. They note it can also make a child’s asthma worse. They argue that the only eff ective way to fully protect non-smokers from harm is to eliminate smoking in enclosed spaces including homes, worksites, public spaces and vehicles. “I fi led this because we need to protect young children who are the most vulnerable to second-hand smoke,” said sponsor Rep. Jim Hawkins (D-Attleboro). “It’s interesting that in the middle schools I have visited that students have chosen this for their civics projects. Even though I have not gotten it through in previous sessions I think it’s important so I will keep pushing it.” BAN NEW FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS (S 1526) – Another measure before the Public Health Committee would prohibit any new for-profi t acutecare hospitals from being established or licensed in the Bay State. “I filed legislation to ban for-profi t hospitals because of the innumerable harms to public health caused by Steward Health Care,” said sponsor Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Marlborough). “The profi t motive has no place in a healthcare system that truly serves patients.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Early education and care programs play a vital role in supporting the foundation for infant and child mental health that will serve our students throughout their lives. We are pleased to provide this funding so that our early educators can access the resources they need to help young children learn about and manage their feelings, supporting healthy social and emotional development in their classroom and beyond.” ---Lt. Gov Kim Driscoll, announcing that the state is awarding $5 million in Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation Grants to organizations that support the social-emotional development and behavioral health of children in early education and care programs across Massachusetts. “If you needed any more evidence that Greater Boston was one of the most desirable areas of the country to live, you just got it with June’s record median price of a single-family home surpassing $1 million.” --- Mark Triglione, President of the Greater Boston Association of Realtors on the median price of a single-family home in Greater Boston surpassing $1 million for the fi rst time in history. “This achievement is the result of the hard work and dedication of our educators, administrators, families and students.

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.
