In 2022 federal support for the program was cut off , but Senator DiDomenico worked with his colleagues to secure enough funding in last year’s state budget to continue funding free school meals throughout the Commonwealth for the 20222023 school year. Thanks to this year’s budget, this program will be funded permanently so every K-12 school in Massachusetts will continue providing free breakfast and lunch to all students. This program has been a massive success in Massachusetts over the past few school years. Over 80,000 more students were eating lunch daily when costs were lifted, which allowed them to focus on class and relieved a financial burden from their parents. This is a crucial program especially as costs for housing, transportation, healthcare and more have risen. Universal school meals will continue to improve the well-being of our children and working families throughout the Commonwealth for years to come.

However, with an irrevocable gifting trust, the assets held in such a trust are not afforded the step up in cost basis. This means that the assets held in trust upon the grantor’s death will not receive a new cost basis equal to the fair market value at the time of death. The grantor’s original cost basis of the assets will be passed along to the beneficiaries of the trust. This ruling confirms that you cannot have T he Internal Revenue Service in March of this year confirmed that the assets of an irrevocable grantor trust that are not included in the grantor’s gross taxable estate do not receive the step up in cost basis upon the grantor’s death pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 1014(a)(1). The types of irrevocable trusts that are the subject matter of this revenue ruling are irrevocable gifting trusts where the grantor of the trust is gifting assets out of his or her estate in order to avoid having those assets includible in his or her gross taxable estate for estate tax purposes. For larger estates, such a technique may well be a good strategy as once your estate is taxable for federal estate tax purposes, the federal estate taxes are significant. Although the federal estate tax exemption is currently $12.9million for taxpayers dying in 2023, it is slated to drop down back to $6million in 2026, failing legislation to extend the estate tax provisions currently in place. When assets are transferred to such a Trust, a completed gift has occurred for gift tax purposes.

The assets in the trust must be includable in the grantor/ decedent’s estate for estate tax purposes in order to gain the valuable step up in cost basis. This ruling does not affect the typical Medicaid irrevocable trusts which are designed to achieve grantor-type trust status for income tax purposes and to provide for the inclusion of highly appreciated assets, such as stocks and real estate, in the grantor’s taxable estate. Provisions included in these trusts are designed to prevent a completed gift from occurring when assets are transferred to the trust. It may very well be that no federal estate tax will be paid or no Massachusetts estate tax will be paid, but if the trust assets are included in the taxable estate, the step up in basis will be achieved. The Massachusetts state legislature will hopefully increase the estate tax exemption to $2million. It is currently $1million. It would be great if the legislature adopted estate tax portability thereby providing a married couple with a total estate tax exemption of $4million. Upon the death of the first spouse, everything could pass to the surviving spouse estate tax free based upon the unlimited marital deduction. Upon the surviving spouse’s subsequent death, he or she would then be entitled to the deceased spouse’s $2million exemption plus his or her own $2million exemption, for a total of $4million. You would see less taxpayers leave Massachusetts for a more tax-friendly state. Joseph D.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 4, 2023 Page 15 Say nr Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller The Hidden Danger Dear Savvy Senior, Is regular heartburn or acid reflux anything to worry about? I eat a lot of Rolaids throughout the day to help manage it, but it’s gotten worse with age and it keeps me up at night too. What can you tell me? Belching Bob Dear Bob, Almost everyone experiences heartburn or acid refl ux from time to time, but frequent episodes can signal a much more serious problem. It’s estimated that more than 60 million Americans experience heartburn at least once a month, with around 15 million people who suffer from it daily. Heartburn symptoms show up in a variety of ways – as a burning pain behind the breastbone, indigestion, or a sour or burning taste in the back of the throat. Other symptoms may include chest pain, excessing belching, a long-term cough, sore throat or hoarseness. If you’re plagued by heartburn two or more times a week, and it’s not responding well to over-the-counter antacids you need to see your doctor, who may refer you to a gastroenterologist. Frequent bouts may mean you have gastroesophageal refl ux disease, or GERDs, which can severely irritate and damage the lining of your esophagus, putting you at risk of Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer if it’s not treated. Lifestyle Adjustments Depending on the frequency and severity of your heartburn, there are a number of lifestyle adjustments you can make that can help provide relief and avoid a more serious problem down the road, such as: Avoid trigger foods: Some foods can trigger heartburn symptoms like citrus fruits, tomatoes, fatty foods, chocolate, garlic, onions, spicy foods, mints, alcohol, coff ee and sodas. You should keep a food diary to track which foods cause you the most problems and avoid them. Eat smaller, slower and earlier: Smaller portions at mealtime and eating slower can help reduce heartburn symptoms. You should also wait at least three hours after eating before lying down or going to bed. of Untreated Heartburn Lose weight: Having excess weight around the midsection puts pressure on the abdomen, pushing up the stomach and causing acid to back up into the esophagus. Quit smoking: Smoking can increase stomach acid and weaken the valve that prevents acid from entering the esophagus. Sleep elevated: To help keep the acid down while sleeping, get a wedgeshaped pillow to prop yourself up a few inches. If that’s not enough, try elevating the head of your bed six to eight inches by placing blocks under the bedposts or insert a wedge between your mattress and box spring. Wedges are available at drugstores and medical supply stores. Sleeping on the left side may also help keep the acid down. Treatment Options If the lifestyle adjustments don’t solve the problem, or if antacids (Tums, Rolaids, Maalox, Mylanta or Alka-Seltzer) aren’t doing the trick, there are a variety of over the counter (OTC) and prescription medications that can help, including: H-2 Blockers: Available as both OTC and prescription strength, these drugs (Pepcid, Tagamet, Axid and Zantac) reduce how much acid your stomach makes but may not be strong enough for serious symptoms. Proton-Pump Inhibitors (PPI): If you have frequent and severe heartburn symptoms PPIs are long-acting prescription medications that block acid production and allow time for damaged esophageal tissue to heal. They include Nexium, Prevacid, Prilosec, Zegerid, Protonix, Aciphex and Dexilant. Prevacid, Nexium, Prilosec and Zegerid are also available OTC. But be aware that long-term use of PPIs can increase your risk for osteoporosis and chronic kidney disease. If the medications aren’t enough, there are also surgical procedures that can tighten or strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter so gastric fl uids can’t wash back up into the esophagus.

The only other sculptor from New England was Greg Grady, from New Hampshire, whose piece was a half moon – titled “Talking to the Moon” – inspired by his sons. His nickname is G2 because his father and namesake was also a sand sculptor. He has relatives in Saugus and Melrose. The festival is also a competition. Judged by other sculptors affiliated with Broken Glass Sand Sculptures of Hawaii as the best work was “Neptune’s Morning Coffee” by Slavian Borecki of Poland. “Finally,” he reacted, referring to his second-place finish last Shown from left to right: first place winner Slavian Borecki, second place winner Hanneke Supply, fifth place winner Bouke Atema and fourth place winner Karen Fralich. Third place and the Sculptor’s Choice award went to Jonathan Bouchard. This sculpture, “Neptune’s Morning Coffee,” won first place. Belgium resident Hanneke year. He’s headed to Virginia Beach for his next festival. He also said the time given the sculptors to create their work, four days in this case, is never enough. Usually, the sculptures last one to three weeks after the festival, but heavy rain Saturday night did some serious damage. Vendors of all kinds lined Revere Beach Boulevard, including a truck from Kowloon. Operations Manager John Chang reported steady business. “Everybody knows Kowloon,” he said. His days started at 7 a.m. at the Saugus restaurant, stocking the truck, and ended near midnight after unloading and cleaning. A Ferris wheel near the Revere Beach subway station and bandstand evoked memories of when Revere Beach was full of arcades and rides. Local politicians were also taking in the sights. “The festival is a huge highlight of our summers and a huge boost for small businesses,” Revere’s Acting Mayor Patrick Keefe said. “Every year I’m more and more amazed by the creativity. It highlights how beautiful Revere and Revere Beach are.” He also enjoyed a show by Blue Man Group Friday night, which Hamel said helped bring in people. Revere School Committee member Jacqueline Monterroso called the festival “amazing” and comparable, if not better than, sand sculpting events she saw while living in Florida. Revere and Winthrop State The Netherlands resident Ludo Roders’s sculpture was “Silence of Nature.” Representative Jeff Turco, whose district includes the beach area, said the festival “showcases America’s first public beach.” He’s also a forSupply won second place for “Trapped in Your Own Mind, the Way Out is Through the Heart.” mer board of director member, treasurer and member of the Revere Beach Partnership and a current Revere Beach Partnership advisor. “This is one of my favorite events and a great opportunity to show how special Revere Beach is,” Giannino agreed. “We know how special it is. I hope if people get a taste of it, they’ll come back.” Roy Konyeaso drove up from Rhode Island and brought friends Cristobal Arco and Imana Cordera visiting from Spain with him. “Somebody told me about it,” Konyeaso said. “It’s great. Arco was impressed by the detail in the works.” On the other hand, Alynn Albert just walked down the street from her Revere Beach Boulevard condo with her nephew Henry Baker, who was visiting from Connecticut. “I come every year,” she said. “It’s great.” “It’s impressive,” Baker added. “People come from all over the world to share their talent.” Mario Caporale, who grew up in East Boston, and his wife Canada resident Jonathan Bouchard’s sculpture was “D-Side.” This piece won Sculptor’s Choice and placed third in the competition. Nancy drove in from Reading. “We come down every year,” he said. Although starting in 2004, 2023 marked the 19th festival due to its cancellation in 2020 during the pandemic. Preparations are already underway for 2024 by the organizers and the sculptors. “It’s a constant process,” Grady said. “I have many projects I’ll do before that, but you’re always thinking.” The Netherlands resident Ludo Roders’s sculpture was “Silence of Nature.”

Maura Healey a House-SenBeacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen ate conference committee version of a bill that includes authorizing $200 million in one-time funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges in cities and towns across the state. The $375 million package, a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds, also includes $175 million for several transportation-related grant programs. The House and Senate had approved diff erent versions of the package and this compromise version was drafted by a 6-member conference committee. The programs funded by the $175 million include the municipal small bridge program; the complete streets program; a bus transit infrastructure program; and grants for municipalities to purchase electric vehicles and the infrastructure needed to support them. “This … bill secures historical levels of funding for our municipal roads, bridges and sidewalks,” said Sen. Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn), Senate Chair of the Committee on Transportation. “In addition to our annual authorization, we have added additional funding for various transportation programs, from bridge repair to improving access to mass transit. No matter how you get around, this funding will benefit transportation systems in every region of the commonwealth.” “Providing funding for critical infrastructure projects through investments in the commonwealth’s public transportation, roads, and bridges is one of the most important responsibilities that we have as members of the Legislature,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “I’m proud of the support for regional infrastructure that this legislation provides, and of the funding that it allocates for the purchasing of electric vehicles by transit authorities.” “The passage is good news for cities and towns, and with the changes this year, especially for rural communities,” said Sen. John Keenan (D-Quincy). “I hope that in the future we will pass a twoyear authorization so that municipalities will have access to these essential funds in a more timely manner, allowing them to better plan work on their roads and bridges.” “Our communities rely so heavily on Chapter 90 funding to make critical transportation improvement projects,” said Rep. Mike Finn (D-West Springfi eld), House Chair of the Committee on Bonding, Capital Expenditures and State Assets. “Today’s funding ensures our roads remain safe and effi - cient for the travel of people and commerce. Additionally, with extra resources being made available through competitive application grant programs, the legislative funding is now forward looking in striving to meet broad ranges of municipal needs.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $375 million package.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes GENDER X (S 2207) Senate 39-0 approved and sent to the House a bill that would allow Bay Staters to choose the gender-neutral designation “X” in lieu of “male” or “female” on their birth certificates and marriage certifi cates. Another provision in the bill codifi es into law a current practice that allows individuals to select “X” as their gender designation on their driver’s license, learner’s permit, identifi cation card and liquor purchase identifi cation card. In addition, current state law requires medical documentation in order to change a gender designation on a birth certifi cate. The bill does away with that requirement. Similar proposals were approved by the Senate during the 2018, 2020 and 2022 sessions but died from inaction in the House. “People know what gender BEACON | SEE PAGE 18 - Aviso Legal - Mancomunidad de Massachusetts Tribunal de Primera Instancia Tribunal Testamentario y de Familia Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 Numero de caso: MI23D1868DR CITACIÓN DE DIVORCIO POR PUBLICACIÓN Y ENVÍO EVELYN JAZMIN LEIVA NAVARRO vs. MARIO ANTONIO ALEMAN DELCID Al Demandado mencionado: El demandante ha presentado una demanda de divorcio ~ Home of the Week ~ Welcoming 6 room 3 bedroom Cape Cod style home boasting great, open concept living room, dining area and updated kitchen featuring maple cabinets, granite counter tops and newer stainless steel appliances, desirable and sunny first floor family room with walls of windows overlooking yard, convenient 1st floor bedroom and full nicely updated bath complete the first level.

Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 4, 2023 BEACON | FROM PAGE 17 they are,” said sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton). “This bill affirms the ability of people to choose a non-binary gender option on state documents and forms, which would align the commonwealth with many other states that have adopted this designation… Together, with our partners in the House, we will continue to move our commonwealth to embrace this basic human right.” “Giving people the opportunity to be who they are is a human right and one that we are proud to extend to every member of the commonwealth, regardless of how they identify,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) who first introduced the bill in 2017.“Allowing a nonbinary option for state licenses and birth certificates is fundamental to building a society that welcomes, protects and respects all individuals… I am as hopeful as ever that Massachusetts will be able to enshrine this change into our state laws this session and continue welcoming everyone into our commonwealth with open arms.” Although no senators voted against the bill, there was opposition from some outside groups. Catholic Action League Executive Director C.J. Doyle called the bill a “malign, non-rational proposal” that will “require the state to affirm and give legal sanction to the ideologically driven delusion that gender is a subjective social construct, which can be altered arbitrarily and capriciously, rather than what it is, which is an objective and immutable biological reality.” “It will make government a party to this delusion,” continued Doyle. “It will confuse and falsify public records and compel government employees to participate in this falsification. It will result in discrimination in public employment against those who hold a traditional understanding of reality and will make the investigation of offenders more difficult for law enforcement. Section 4 of the bill will essentially empower government bureaucrats who administer programs for youth to proselytize the minors in their care for so-called gender transitioning.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes MAKE OBTAINING ID CARDS EASIER FOR HOMELESS PERSONS(S 2251) Senate 39-0 approved and sent to the House legislation that would make it easier for homeless youth and adults to secure free state ID cards. Supporters said that currently a person experiencing homelessness faces prohibitive fees and documentation requirements when trying to obtain an ID card.They noted that this legislation removes those barriers by eliminating fees and only requiring that applicants present documentation showing that they are currently receiving services provided by the state, a homeless service provider or another service provider. They argued that ID cards are necessary for applying for jobs, enrolling in school, interacting with law enforcement, accessing government buildings, opening financial accounts and many other basic services that many take for granted. “When we listen to our homeless youth about the challenges they face, there is a common denominator and that is access to identification,” said Sen.

All interested parties may attend and opinions will be heard regarding the following petition. Whereas a petition has been presented by: Property Address: Map/Parcel: Permit Number: Person Requesting: PROPOSAL: The owner wishes to enclose an already existing foundation located in the rear of the house. The property is a three (3) family home located at 4 Chestnut Place with a lot area of 4,275 s.f. according to the plot plans submitted by HRH Consulting Group. Reason for Denial: Permit was denied in accordance to the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance. The applicant shall seek relief from the Zoning Board of Appeals as follows: Section 4 B Dimensional Requirements. 7. Rear Yard (A) 25 feet minimum. According to the plans provided, the property at 4-6 Chestnut Pl. has a rear yard of twenty-two (22) feet where twenty-five (25) is required. Enclosing the area in the plans provided would continue the non-conformity of the building by creating more habitable space within the required setback.

By extension, they are barriers to getting a job, accessing healthcare and applying for services—the most basic of necessities,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “These barriers harm the most vulnerable people in our commonwealth and eliminating them is a compassionate step that makes the path to stability a little bit easier.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes $513 MILLION FISCAL 2023 SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET (S 2426) Senate 38-0 approved a $513 million fiscal supplemental budget to help close out the books on fiscal year 2023 that ended on June 30. The House has already approved its own $693 million package. A House-Senate conference committee will eventually hammer out a compromise version. Provisions in the Senate version include $180 million for fiscally strained hospitals; $60.3 million for staffing at the Department of Transitional Assistance; $100 million for the state’s pension fund; $40 million for a settlement of a court case related to police promotion discrimination; and $75 million for school districts with extraordinary special education costs. “As we fully emerge from the pandemic, the Legislature has addressed several sectors of state government with crucial funding to continue to keep the economy of the commonwealth on a firm footing,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “The passage of this supplemental budget today utilizes robust tax revenues to its fullest effect, making substantial investments in health care, special education, unemployment assistance and disaster relief funding. Those investments will keep Massachusetts as a leader in the key economic sectors for decades to come.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $513 million supplemental budget.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL 7.5 PERCENT PAY HIKE FOR SENATE STAFFERS – Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) announced a pay hike for all Senate employees. All staff members who began work prior to May 1, 2023 will receive a 7.5 percent pay hike beginning July 31, 2023. For example, a staffer who currently earns $50,000 will receive a $3,750 hike to $53,750 while an employee earning $100,000 will receive a $7,500 bump to $107,500. “I know I reflect the feelings of the Senate members when I say that we are deeply appreciative of all of your hard work,” said Spilka in an e-mail last week to Senate staffers. “Thank you for your continued dedication to the Senate and the people of the commonwealth.” Judicial and executive branch employees currently have the right to form a union but Legislative staff cannot do so. Two bills, H 3069 and S 2014,pending before the Legislature would allow these employees to unionize. The measures are giving little chance of success this year based on a recent comment from Spilka in July 2022 that “the Senate does not at this time see a path forward for a traditional employer-union relationship in the Senate as we are currently structured.” LIMIT FEE FOR CASHING CHECKS (H 344) – The Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure held a hearing on a measure that would set a cap on the fees check-cashing stores and outlets are allowed to charge. The maximum charge would be 5 percent of the value of a personal check or $5, whichever is greater, plus a $1 service charge; 2.5 percent of a government check plus a $1 service charge; 2.25 percent of a payroll check plus a $1 service charge; and 3 percent of all other checks including traveler’s check, cashier’s check and certified check plus a $1 service charge. Supporters said of the 34 states that regulate check cashing, Massachusetts is one of eight that do not regulate the fees that may be charged. They argued these check-cashing “stores” are often located in low-income neighborhoods and take advantage of vulnerable residents. They noted the bill would provide greater consumBEACON | SEE PAGE 19

Lower-income households, less educated households, Black households, Hispanic households, working-age households with a disability and single-mother households are most vulnerable to being unbanked or underbanked. “This bill aims to tear down financial barriers that create situational and generational cycles of poverty by fostering a fair and responsible market in which low-income families can more easily save and protect their money,” said sponsor Rep. Kay Khan (D-Newton). “Passage of this bill will allow people to keep more of their hardearned income, improving their ability to build assets, create wealth and promote overall stability in the economy of the commonwealth.” BAN ELEPHANTS AND OTHER ANIMALS (H 3245/S 2189) – The Tourism, Arts and Cultural Development Committee held a hearing on legislation that would ban elephants, bears, lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, cheetahs and other animals from being used in traveling circuses and other traveling shows in Massachusetts. Violators would be fined between $500 and $10,000. “It is cruel for any of these large animals to live a life on the road and be forced into an unnatural lifestyle,” said House sponsor Rep. Carole Fiola (D-Fall River). “Animal-based traveling acts have waned in popularity across the nation, with many companies eliminating animal-based models and now proudly offering animal-free shows. Currently, 14 municipalities in Massachusetts have local ordinances banning traveling animal acts and eight other states have already adopted these bans. Action is needed statewide to protect wildlife and ensure the humane treatment of all animals.” “Exotic, wild animals are subject to abusive training as they are transported throughout the country and across the commonwealth,” said Senate sponsor Sen. Adam Gomez (D-Springfield). “The cruel exhibition of these various animals also poses serious health and safety to the general public. We must be intolerant to animal abuse and ensure the safety of patrons.” QUOTABLE QUOTES Massachusetts, like most states, currently has a law to prevent utility shut offs during the winter months. However only 19 states have similar provisions for dealing with extreme heat in the summer months. Recent reports from scientists indicate that Massachusetts residents can expect extreme heat conditions annually for the foreseeable future.” ---Former Sen. Dick Moore, Legislative Chair of the Dignity Alliance urging passage of a bill to protect older adults and people with disabilities for having utilities shut-off during periods of extreme heat. “This contract demonstrates the T’s commitment toward reducing its emissions and is another step toward reaching our climate goals.

Reusable bags are ready and waiting.” ---Janet Domenitz of MASSPIRG on proposed legislation to eliminate single-use plastic bags in the Bay State. “As Massachusetts will experience some of its most intense heat in the coming days, it’s important for people to make a plan to stay safe – including staying hydrated, limiting strenuous activity and checking in on one another. We’ve expanded hours at DCR swimming pools, beaches, waterfronts and spray decks to allow for more opportunities for residents to cool off . We’re grateful to the workers who are putting in the time and effort to support these extended hours. All of us can do our part to help our friends and neighbors beat the heat.” --Gov. Maura Healey. 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 filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night ses~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ CITY OF EVERETT sions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.
