Page 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 9, 2024 Rhode Island man charged with allegedly stealing $13K in chips from Encore Casino E VERETT — A Rhode Island man was arraigned Wednesday on charges of larceny over $1,200 and larceny from a building for allegedly stealing thousands of dollars worth of chips from a table at Encore Boston Harbor Casino after causing a distraction on Tuesday night. A plea of not guilty was entered on his behalf following his arraignment. According to Boston 25 News, Gary Hunt, 35, of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, was arrested in a nearby parking lot after Encore Boston Harbor’s Security Control Center and local law enforcement were informed that a patron, later identifi ed as Hunt, stole a large quantity of chips from a table game and fl ed the scene. Witnesses reported that Hunt was sitting at the table where he allegedly told other patrons that someone won a large sum of money. When the other patrons became distracted, police say Hunt reached over the table and allegedly stole 13 orange chips valued at $1,000 apiece from the dealer’s tray. Hunt then reportedly ran from the scene but was soon found in a parking lot near the casino after a description of Hunt was broadcast to nearby offi cers. According to the Boston 25 News story, Hunt was found to have several $1,000 orange chips. Three additional orange chips were located using security video and authorities say he discarded two chips from his sneaker after leaving the casino. A brief search of the area did not locate any additional items. At the request of prosecutors, a judge ordered Hunt to stay away from the casino. He is due back in court on September 16. Gary Hunt, 35, of Woonsocket, Rhode Island was arraigned on larceny charges.

As part of their ongoing commitment to connect customers with energy saving solutions, the Sponsors of Mass Save® are partnering with nearly 90 communities across the Commonwealth, including Everett, through the Main Streets initiative. Launched in April and continuing through October, the initiative connects small business owners with approved contractors to schedule nocost energy assessments and determine solutions for lowering energy use and saving money. In 2023, the Sponsors of Mass Save visited 91 communities across the Commonwealth which resulted in more than 360 fully weatherized small businesses. Since 2022, the initiative has prioritized equitably delivering greenhouse gas reductions by partnering with historically under-resourced communities, Environmental Justice Communities, as designated by the state, and Mass Save Community First Partners.

These employers are also now required to provide a salary range for an employee who is offered a promotion or transfer, under the new law. Employees are also able to ask the salary range of current employees or people applying for the role, Healey’s offi ce announced. “I want to give a shout-out to former Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Murphy for her leadership over decades on this, and it’s a privilege to be able to sign this important bill for women’s equity,” Healey said.

We’ve seen their TV commercials and we have seen the work this organization out of Staten Island, NY has been and continues to do. Too often duty and sacrifice get forgotten. This organization has been there to help both first responders and our military veterans. In their hour of need, we need to be there for them and one way to do it is to help organizations like the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. This past Saturday was a great day to gather togethShown from left, author Andrew Biggio with block party organizers, Matt Cunningham and Anthony Cruciotti. er and have fun but also not to forget those who served and those who sacrificed their all and now could use our help.

DIDOMENICO | FROM PAGE 1 individuals across the state who have served in the United States military, including nearly 30,000 women veterans and thousands of LGBTQ+ veterans. “I am excited to see this bill passed through both the House and Senate so we can invest in benefits and services that will improve lives for Veterans in my district and our state who have sacrificed so much for our country,” said Senator Sal DiDomenico. “The HERO Act demonstrates our support for Veterans from all backgrounds by expanding our health care benefits and support services for service members and their families as well as bolstering initiatives to study PTSD and mental health treatments for Veterans across the state. I am grateful to Senate President Spilka and Senator John Velis for moving this essential package through legislative process.” This compromise legislation increases and simplifies benefits and opportunities, modernizes services, and promotes inclusivity for Massachusetts veterans while reaffirming the Commonwealth’s commitment to recognizing and serving all service members and their families. It increases benefits for disabled veterans and Gold Star family members, bolsters new and existing initiatives for municipalities and businesses to support veterans, creates comprehensive services for active-duty service members and military families, expands the scope of the Veterans Equality Review Board, updates the Chapter 115 definition of a veteran to expand eligibility, and codifies medical, behavioral health, and dental benefits. Further, it establishes new recognitions for military service in the Commonwealth and requires several working groups to review post-traumatic stress disorder in veterans, mental health treatments for veterans, and overall quality of life for veterans in Massachusetts. A compromise having passed the Legislature, the bill now goes to the Governor’s desk for her signature.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 9, 2024 Page 7 MVES awarded grant to ease behavioral health crisis T he aging population in Massachusetts is increasing while at the same time the number of older adults with behavioral health problems is rising. Massachusetts is not alone – U.S. officials have described older Americans as facing a behavioral health crisis. As part of its ongoing efforts to support emotional well-being during the aging journey, Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) was awarded a $150,000 grant from the state’s Behavioral Health Outreach for Aging Populations (BHOAP) program. “Behavioral health conditions skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those issues didn’t simply vanish when quarantine was lifted, especially for our community’s aging population, who are more likely to remain socially isolated,” observed MVES CEO Lisa Gurgone. “We’re proud to receive the BHOAP grant, which will help our team support those who are in critical need of care.” Central to the behavioral health crisis is the need for treatment. While an estimated one in four older Americans has a behavioral health condition not associated with normal aging, less than 33 percent of this NEW LAW | FROM PAGE 4 Murphy, who became the first woman in Massachusetts to hold a constitutional office while serving under Governor Michael Dukakis (1987 to 1991), is now co-chair of the Wage Equity Now Coalition. “Gender and racial wage gaps are real,” Murphy said in a statement. “They cause wealth gaps. With this legislation, Massachusetts claims lead position in building economic prosperity through equitable treatment of every worker.” The legislation requires public and private employers with 25 or more employees to disclose pay ranges in job postings, provide the pay range of a position to an employee who is offered a promotion or transfer and, on request, provide the pay range to employees who already hold that position or are applying for it. The Attorney General’s Office will conduct a public awareness campaign on these new rules. The Attorney General’s Office will also be given enforcement authority and the ability to impose fines or civil citations for violations of this law, and employees will receive protections against repopulation receives services to address their diagnosis. Within Massachusetts, BHOAP aims to address this problem. More than half of those enrolled in home care programs at MVES reported having a behavioral health diagnosis, and MVES has identified an increase in diagnoses over the past decade. The BHOAP grant enables MVES to build on its existing outreach efforts and work to overcome barriers to care, including: • Coping with other chronic illnesses and physical frailty • Transportation limitations • Cost of care • Social isolation • Technological barriers • Cultural differences in approaches to behavioral care • Societal and/or generational stigma “Stigma is a major obstacle to any individual receiving treatment, but it can be a barrier that’s especially difficult for the aging population,” explained MVES Director of Clinical Services Lisa Felci Jimenez. “People dismiss these issues by saying, you’re just lonely or you just worry too much. Part of our team’s mission is to overcome these misconceptions and entaliation for asking for salary ranges when applying for a job or promotion. The legislation also requires public and private employers with 100 or more employees to submit wage data reports to the state, which will then be published through aggregate wage reports by the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development. sure people receive the care they need. Depression and anxiety are not an inevitable part of the aging process.” MVES has provided access to behavioral health services through its Complex Care team since 2005. The BHOAP grant empowers MVES to expand its Complex Care team and better serve the aging population in its service area, which includes Everett, Malden, Revere and eight other communities. The Complex Care team focuses on increasing access to home- and community-based counseling to address a wide range of issues, including hoarding, depression, anxiety, adjustment to loss, substance abuse and more. They develop a personalized plan for each individual, connecting them to the care they need and monitoring each case over time. By working closely with other departments at MVES, the team ensures the individual receives any other support they need, such as transportation assistance or social engagement. The Complex Care team also offers bilingual support and works to build awareness and partnership throughout the community. (Editor’s Note: Janice Jarosz, a lifelong Saugus resident, former town official, writer and frequent contributor to The Saugus Advocate, attended last week’s bill signing ceremony for the new wage equity law as a guest of former Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Murphy, who is also a first cousin of Jarosz.) “Our team ensures health providers and community organizations are aware that MVES offers a range of services to support aging and that behavioral health is a key part of our offerings,” explained MVES Complex Care Team Manager Jennifer Shacklewood. “We want to improve that 33 percent of older adults who are receiving the treatment they need.

Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 9, 2024 Resilient Mystic Collaborative communities secure over $12M in Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Grants for climate resilience G nongovernmental partners, the RMC designs and completes on-the-ground projects to protect our most vulnerable residents and public services from harm due to increasingly extreme weather. “The MVP program connects local leaders with state resources to protect our most vulnerable communities from extreme weather,” said Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “The Resilient Mystic Collaborative exemplifies regional teamwork, demonstrating how collective efforts can drive climate adaptation. We are proud to fund critical initiatives such as flood management, resilient community centers, and forest health. We’re proud to award the most funds in MVP history to such a strong set of projects.” These MVP grants bring the total resources secured for RMC climate resilient projects to nearly $140 million in state, federal and foundation grants since the voluntary partnership began. “What is extraordinary is that about three quarters of all the funding we’ve secured are for regional projects,” said MyRWA’s Julie Wormser, who helps facilitate the RMC. “These are critical investments that communities can’t accomplish without partnering with their neighbors.” Multiple FY2025 MVP grants build on the accomplishments of prior successful proposals. By far the largest grant – the maximum $5 million allowed for regional projects – went to the Island End River coastal flood management project, overnor Maura Healey’s announcement of $52.4 million in FY2025 Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness grants included just over $12 million in funding for community-designed projects to prevent harm to residents, workers and resources in Resilient Mystic Collaborative (RMC) cities and towns. Convened by 10 Mystic River watershed communities and the Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA) in September 2018 and now led by senior staff from 20 cities and towns and a multiyear effort by Chelsea and Everett to protect environmental justice neighborhoods and critical regional infrastructure, including fruit and vegetable distribution for all of New England and the Canadian Maritimes. “The Island End River flood barrier will protect thousands of residents in Chelsea and Everett and billions of dollars in infrastructure,” said Chelsea City Manager Fidel Maltez. “This $5 million grant will advance this project and ensure that our cities remain viable economic engines for the foreseeable future, while also beautifying the area for locals to enjoy.” “What our communities are accomplishing together is nothing short of miraculous,” said MyRWA Executive Director Patrick Herron. “Extreme weather mocks municipal boundaries. Municipal staff and local non-profits are pulling together to protect people and infrastructure at the scale of the challenge.” An emerging goal for Mystic communities has been to reinforce critical facilities that serve priority populations: residents and workers disproportionately affected by extreme weather. Medford and Somerville are working regionally to develop a network of resilient community centers that can provide on-going public services (e.g., afterschool programs and food pantries) while providing food and shelter during heat waves and extreme storms. “These projects are examples of how beneficial it has been to have municipal and environmental justice non-profit staff working together,” said GreenRoots’ Director of Climate Justice & Waterfront Initiatives, John Walkey. “Every year we are getting better and better choosing and designing projects with and for the people who need our work most.” The Town of Reading submitted a regional grant to help 17 communities stormproof key community facilities. The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) is sponsoring a regional pilot program to understand how best governments can communicate with hard-to-reach vulnerable residents – like unhoused or socially isolated people – before and during extreme weather. “With one of the hottest GRANTS | SEE PAGE 11

The 2003 Saugus American Little League Williamsport all-star, who, along with his teammates, came into national prominence when they marched together as one all the way to the United States Championship Game at Lamade Stadium against East Boynton Beach, Fla. As it turned out, they were the last Massachusetts team to do so, now going on 21 years. Since those Little League glory days, Pizzano went on to attend Malden Catholic and Division 1 Columbia University, which led to him being picked by the Seattle Mariners in the 2012 MLB Draft. He spent the next 10 years as a player in the Mariners and New York Mets organizations, before retiring last year. Also in 2023, he was inducted into the Columbia University Athletic Hall of Fame. The Saugus native is currently working for JP Morgan in Manhattan, and is living in Hoboken, N.J. But baseball remains in his blood. While in the minor leagues, he helped established the MS4MS (Mission Stadiums for Multiple Sclerosis) charity, a cause that’s close to his heart, because his mom, Tracie, has been living with MS since 1998.

Morgan’s Message is an organization that helps advocate and raise funds for those struggling to adjust to normal life after their athletic careers are over.” Dario mentioned that Pete Maki, the Twins pitching coach, is also helping out with the on-field batting practice passes for sponsors and those who are battling MS, before the Sept. 21 game. Maki was the Columbia pitching coach, when Pizzano was a Lion. Danielle Stein, another MS Warrior ambassador, who is in sports broadcasting after serving an internship with the Red Sox, is working on getting the organizers to appear on the NESN broadcast during the game to further promote the charity. For the game, the Red Sox are providing custom-made caps, with an orange “B” Red Sox logo and the charity’s emblem embroidered on the back of it. Pizzano hopes this year’s Fenway charity event raises between $40,000 to $50,000 for MS. For more information on the charity, go to the MS4MS website at https://ms4ms.org.

Special to The Advocate O n Wednesday, July 31, 2024, Mayor Carlo DeMaria, the City of Everett Fire Department (EFD) and many other officials, gathered at the Encore Boston Harbor dock to unveil and officially commission the latest asset to be added to the already impressive inventory of state-of-the-art, life-saving equipment of the EFD, a new fire boat that was christened Marine 1. Mayor DeMaria stated, “I am guessing that many of you never would have thought of Everett having a need for a fire boat. In actuality, we are a community that has an impressive amount of shoreline and access to waterways. Mayor Carlo DeMaria, EFD Chief Joe Hickey and the crew of Marine 1. We have spent a considerable amount of time and effort into improving our waterfront for our residents. The fire boat will help us to ensure the security of these areas within our community.” He added, “This newest asset for our Everett Fire Department is an important tool for our city as an urban area to ensure the safety and security of our waterfront for our residents, and especially for the future development that we hope to be able to welcome to our shoreline as part of the continued transformation of our city.” The fire boat is a 32-foot Defiant (2nd generation, NXT) boat. Defiant class vessels are fast, responsive, stable and versatile vessels with a crew-friendly, weather protective closed cabin layout. This advanced fire boat is crucial for the EFD, the citizens of Everett, and surrounding communities that depend on us for mutual aid, particularly in hazardous materials (Hazmat) situations. The fire boat features a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE)-rated wheelhouse/ cabin, enabling it to operate safely in highly hazardous environments. It is equipped with air monitoring capabilities to detect hazardous materials in the air and a boom for containing hazardous substances on the water. Additionally, the boat possesses roFire Chief Joe Hickey speaks as Mayor Carlo DeMaria looks on. bust fire suppression capabilities – essential for managing vessel fires and other emergency calls for service. The fire boat was funded via the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) program specific to the Boston metropolitan area.

It aims to enhance regional preparedness and capabilities in major metropolitan areas to prevent, protect against, respond to and recover from acts of terrorism and other major disasters.

Now the Mystic is one of New England’s most densely populated, urbanized watersheds. The Mystic is facing growing climate-related challenges: coastal and stormwater fl ooding, extreme storms, heat, drought and unpredictable seasonal weather. The watershed is relatively low-lying and extensively developed, making it prone to both freshwater and coastal fl ooding. Its 21 municipalities are home to 600,000 residents, including many who are disproportionately vulnerable to extreme weather: environmental justice communities, new Americans, residents of color, elders, low-income residents and employees, people living with disabilities and English language learners. Right to Occupy, Enjoy and Possess Real Estate Held in an Irrevocable Trust A life estate is established when all of the remainder legal interest in a property is transferred to another individual, while the legal interest for life rights to use, occupy, possess, enjoy and receive the income or profi ts from the property is retained by the Settlor/life tenant. A benefi ciary who has the right to live in a house does not have the right to access principal. Even if the lifetime beneficiary/Settlor is also the trustee, and if the trustee decides to mortgage the property to make necessary repairs or to sell the real estate and buy another piece of real estate to be held in the trust as well, that right does not rise to the level of having “access” to the trust principal. The Settlor/lifetime benefi ciary would only possess the right to occupy, enjoy and possess the replacement property and to collect any net rental income generated therefrom (if applicable). Furthermore, if the property is sold and there is no replacement property purchased, and the funds are simply invested, the Settlor/lifetime benefi ciary only has the right to receive the net income generated from the investment. To distribute principal from the trust to himself/herself would constitute a gross breach of his or her fi duciary duty to the remaindermen (the benefi ciaries that would receive the trust principal upon the Settlor’s death). If you happen to actually just have a life estate as reserved in a deed that you transferred to your children, for example, and if the property is sold, a certain portion of the sales proceeds must be allocated to you based upon actuarial tables found in IRS Book Aleph and interest rates found in Internal Revenue Code Section 7520. In that event, these monies allocated to you as a life tenant could be subject to spendown on nursing home care, even if you had deeded the real estate to your children more than 5 years ago. This is one of the benefi ts of the irrevocable trust. If the real estate is sold by the trustee, all of the sales proceeds belong to the trustee and the trustee must follow the terms of the trust exactly. Even if the Settlor is also the Trustee, he or she must follow the terms of the trust and will only have the right to distribute net income to the Settlor/lifetime benefi ciary. The Settlor/lifetime benefi - ciary will have no rights to receive principal. This is your typical “income only” irrevocable trust. As mentioned earlier, there would be a massive breach of the trustee’s fi - duciary obligation to the remaindermen if the trustee were to distribute principal to the Settlor. The bottom line is that we want the trust principal not to be counted for purposes of MassHealth eligibility. The Settlor of the irrevocable Trust cannot receive principal distributions under any circumstances. Joseph D.

OBITUARIES Salvatore D’Avanzo O f Everett. P assed away on the morning of August 2, 2024 at the age of 69. Sal was born in Avella, Italy, on October 8, 1954, to Giuseppe D’Avanzo and Rosina Sanseverino. In 1972, Sal left Avella and emigrated to Everett, MA to follow the American dream. In Everett, he met his wife of over 50 years, Filomena DiGiorgio. They built an incredible life together, and he leaves behind his daughter Rosanna Selvage and her husband Steven Selvage, along with their two children, Lola and Emma; and his daughter Pina Daniel and her husband Sergei Daniel, along with their two children, Ava and Reese. Sal founded his own plumbing business and worked for years as a plumber in the Everett/Cambridge area. His meticulous attention to detail is evident in the many homes and businesses he worked on. There was nothing Sal couldn’t build with his hands; he was a true engineer, inventor, and creative problem solver. Sal’s ingenuity and craftsmanship were unmatched. Sal loved Napoli Soccer and was an avid fi sherman in his spare time, with a particular passion for squid fi shing and catching Striped Bass in Nahant. He cherished spending time with his family and friends, always living life to the fullest and enjoying every moment. He leaves behind three sisters in Italy: Francesca and her husband Bruno Lusi and their children Oderigi and Maria; Angelina D’Avanzo; and his youngest sister, Graziella, and her husband Gerardo Fusco and their children Emilia and Alessandra; his brother-in-law and best friend, Gianni DiGiorgio, and his wife Lisa, and their children John and Michael; and his mother-in-law in Orsogna Italy, Ida Fosco. Sal leaves us all with a tremendous hole in our hearts, but we will always cherish his infectious smile, wonderful sense of humor, and passion for life. During his final days, he continued to make us smile and laugh, telling us not to worry about him because he had a great life. His final instructions were to “Ballate, cantate, and ridete sempre.” Visiting hours and prayer service were held in the Salvatore Rocco & Sons Funeral Homes, Everett on Tuesday, August 6.

They argued it is time for Massachusetts to begin the step toward adopting a similar law. They noted that there are currently no penalties for people who misrepresent a non-service dog as being a service dog. Sponsor Rep. Kim Ferguson (R-Holden) did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her to comment on passage of her bill. (A Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes $7.5 MILLION FOR TOMORROW’S TEACHERS (H 4800) House 134-24, overrode Gov. Maura Healey’s veto of $7.5 million (reducing funding from $10 million to $2.5 million) for scholarship and loan repayment for students seeking a teaching degree in the state’s public colleges. The Senate did not act on the veto. “I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary,” said Healey in her veto message. “The amount as adjusted here, in combination with the available balance from fiscal year 2024, is sufficient to meet projected demand and result in no reduction in fiscal year 2025 planned spending for this item.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $7.5 million. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes $250,000 FOR FINANCIAL LITERACY (H 4800) House 154-4, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of the entire $250,000 for a grant program to school districts to support the implementation of financial literacy courses and standards for students in kindergarten to grade 12, including training and developing programs to assist teachers in incorporating appropriate financial literacy concepts into classroom curriculum. The Senate did not act on the veto. “I am vetoing this item to an amount consistent with my House [budget] recommendation,” said Gov. Healey. “Other sources of funding for financial literacy appropriated in this budget will mitigate the effects of this veto.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $250,000. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes PARENTAGE EQUALITY (S 2906) Senate 40-0, approved and sent to Gov. Healey a bill that supporters say would ensure legal parentage equality by protecting LGBTQ+ families, and children born through surrogacy and assisted reproduction, in forming the legal bond of a parent-child relationship. They said the measure would dismantle archaic legal barriers to basic parenting responsibilities for modern families, opening the door to legally attend and make decisions during medical appointments, manage a child’s finances, participate in educational decisions and provide authorizations for a child’s travel. “Today we acted to ensure that if you are a parent, whether a biological parent or not, the law will recognize you as a parent just as society does,” said Rep. Mike Day (D-Stoneham), House Chair of the Committee on the Judiciary. “This bill will remove one of the last vestiges of the law that treats same sex parents and parents who engaged in assisted reproduction differently from every other parent. It is a good day for all families in Massachusetts.” “With unprecedented and alarming action in other states to strip away the rights of LGBTQ+ people and our families, Massachusetts’ outdated and heterocentric parentage laws put LGBTQ+ families at risk every day,” said Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro). “The Massachusetts Parentage Act is personal— LGBTQ+ families like mine face excessive and expensive hoops just to ensure our children have the security of legal parentage. The Legislature’s passage of this bill is a critical step to guarantee that all children can benefit from the stability of a legal parent-child relationship no matter how they came to be in this world.” (A Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes DOG KENNEL SAFETY – OLLIE’S LAW (S 2929) Senate 40-0, approved a bill that would allow the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources to establish rules and regulations for dog kennels in the Bay State, to ensure animal welfare, protect consumers and keep kennel staff safe. A person who violates the regulations would be fined $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for a second or subsequent offense. The House has already approved a different version of the measure and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration. Required regulations would include obtaining a license from the municipality, an annual inspection, dog to staff ratio specifications, injury reporting, indoor and outdoor physical facility requirements, insurance and minimal housing and care requirements. Supporters said that currently, the state has no oversight of dog daycare or boarding kennels. They argued it is estimated that a dog is injured or killed every 9 to 10 days in Massachusetts at these kennels. They noted that many families have suffered the loss or injury of an animal at a dog daycare or kennel that could have been prevented by commonsense regulations over these facilities. The bill was filed in memory of “Ollie,” a 7-month-old labradoodle who was attacked by other dogs at a boarding kennel in East Longmeadow. Ollie needed round-the-clock care and surgery and was in the hospital for two months before succumbing to his injuries. While the facility was shut down by town officials, Ollie’s owner Ann Baxter was stunned to learn that there were no state regulations regarding boarding facilities, and soon took up the fight to help ensure tragedies like this never happen again. “Pets are family who provide boundless love and affection BEACON | SEE PAGE 19

Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford), Senate sponsor of the bill. “For this reason, it is critical that we ensure all businesses entrusted with the care of our family adhere to proper health and safety protocols no matter what town they operate in across the commonwealth. Too often, we have heard devastating stories of pets like Ollie who have been injured or killed due to negligent care. These people have no place caring for such precious creatures and it’s time that we implement consistent standards across Massachusetts.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL FISCAL 2025 STATE BUDGET (H 4800) – Gov. Healey, after vetoing several items, signed into law a $58 billion fiscal 2025 state budget for the fiscal year that began July 1, 2024. The price tag represents a 1.97 billion or 3.5 percent increase over last year’s fiscal 2024 budget. “Massachusetts is the leader in innovation and education, the best place to raise your family or grow a business,” said Healey. “But we also face challenges, so we aren’t resting – we’re going on offense. This budget delivers on our shared priorities and drives our state forward with urgency and purpose. It invests in areas that we are already leading on and makes them better – including our number 1 ranked schools and our nation-leading childcare strategy. We’re also tackling our biggest challenges by lowering household costs and improving transportation. We’re doing all of this responsibly, staying within our means and in line with the rate of inflation.” “Once again, the Massachusetts budget is the latest state budget to pass in the country and once again, it’s the largest state budget in our commonwealth’s history,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Mass Fiscal Alliance. “What should also concern every Massachusetts taxpayer is the fact that the Legislature and governor are spending over a billion dollars a year on the illegal and inadmissible migrants, which comes out to be about $3 million dollars a day. Every town and city in Massachusetts could use that money for their workers, schools and first responders but instead, Statehouse leaders are spending these valuable taxpayer resources on illegal and inadmissible migrants.” WAGE TRANSPARENCY (H 4890) - Gov. Healey signed into law a bill, named the Frances Perkins Workplace Equity Act, in honor of the first woman to serve as U.S. Labor Secretary. The measure would require employers with 25 or more employees to disclose a salary range when posting a job position. The measure also would require employers with 100 or more employees to file annual employment data reports, including information on employee demographics and salaries, with the state. “I have long supported wage equity legislation and, as attorney general, I was proud to work together with the business community to implement the 2016 Equal Pay Act,” said Gov. Healey. “This new law is an important next step toward closing wage gaps, especially for people of color and women. It will also strengthen the ability of Massachusetts employers to build diverse, talented teams.” “I am proud that we as a commonwealth are taking concrete and nation-leading steps to close long-standing gender and racial wage gaps that persist across our economy,” said Sen. Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough) a lead supporter of the bill. “These gaps not only erode the integrity of work in the commonwealth but also continue to exacerbate an uneven economy for working people, especially women and people of color who have historically faced persistent and glaring inequities in the workplace. By bringing partners in labor, business and community together to establish common sense wage and workplace transparency, we will ensure Massachusetts can continue attracting and retaining diverse and skilled workers that enable our commonwealth to compete and thrive. With the signing of this bill, workers are empowered and businesses are supported.” $1.26 BILLION BOND FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (H 4889) – Gov. Healey signed into law a bill that would invest in information technology (IT) upgrades, improvements and new projects across state government. The measure authorizes $1.23 billion in bonded spending and $400 million in anticipated federal funds. “We’ve talked a lot about this administration’s desire to lean into applied artificial intelligence in ways that benefit not only the way the state delivers services to residents and businesses, but also the way that our businesses and economic sector are able to thrive,” said Healey. “And we think that making applied AI a cornerstone of our economic development bill is really important. It’s further supported by this FutureTech Act.” “When it comes to advancing the delivery of government services for our residents and for our state and municipal workers, information technology opens that digital door to meet people where they are,” said Chief Information Officer and Technology Services Secretary Jason Snyder. “The impact of IT on the services the commonwealth provides cannot be overstated. To that end, we are already hard at work on many of the investments in this legislation.” DISABILITY PENSION FOR POLICE OFFICERS (H 2536) – Gov. Healey signed into law legislation that would provide police officers who have suffered a violent act injury, 100 percent regular compensation and pension benefits, until they reach the age of mandatory retirement. Violent act injury is defined as “a serious and permanent personal bodily injury sustained as a direct and proximate result of a violent attack upon a person by means of a dangerous weapon, including a firearm, knife, automobile, explosive device or other dangerous weapon.” “Our first responders go above and beyond to keep our communities safe and respond to emergencies,” said Gov. Healey. “That’s why it’s critical that we support them when they experience emergencies of their own. This legislation ensures that first responders who are injured in the line of duty have access to the pay and health care, including mental health care, that they need to support their families and their road to recovery.” Supporters said that under current law, a first responder forced to retire due to a violent act injury can only receive benefits through the local retirement board via the home rule legislative process. They said this process is onerous and has resulted in disparate benefits being granted on a case-by-case basis. “This legislation ensures that first responders who are forced to retire due to a violent injury received in the line of duty do not struggle to make ends meet,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington). “Frankly, this cannot come soon enough.

Steve Xiarhos (R-Barnstable) said workers who are the victims of traumatic events at work would also be eligible to receive certain mental health services to assist with their recovery. “The bill was inspired in part by several recent cases of first responders who suffered serious injuries in the line of duty, including retired Somerville Police Detective Mario Oliveira and Springfield Police Officer Nestor Santos,” said Xiarhos.

A petition has been presented to said Court by, Aparicio Umana of Everett, in the County of Middlesex, representing that He hold as a tenant in common a 50% undivided part or share of certain land lying in Everett, in the County of Middlesex, and briefly described as follows. Title in a certain parcel of land together with the buildings thereon situated in Everett, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, on the Northeasterly side of Nichols Street and being numbered 130 in the present numbering of said street, and shown as Lot A2 on a plan of land in Everett belonging to Samuel Glazer, A.P.

If you desire to object thereto you or your attorney should file a written appearance and answer in said Court at Woburn before ten o’clock, on the nineteenth day of August 2024 the return date of this citation. Witness, Honorable Terri L. Klug Cafazzo, Esquire, First Justice of said Court, this eight day of July, 2024 TARA DeCRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE COURT August 2, 9, 16, 2024 Docket No: MI24E0054PP setts. Violators would be fined between $500 and $10,000. The ban would not apply to zoos or to performances that take place at other non-mobile, permanent facilities if the covered animal is a resident animal at the same facility in which the performance takes place. “We’re ecstatic that after so many years of advocating for the state to take a stance on the suffering of animals, as well as the public health and safety risks. The bill to prohibit elephants, primates, bears, giraffes and big cats in traveling animal acts passed both chambers in the Legislature unanimously and is on the governor’s desk,” read a press release from the MSPCA. “This is truly a testament to the perseverance of advocates and legislators to speak for those who cannot. We’re optimistic that the governor will sign the bill and put an end to these archaic acts in our state.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “We were absolutely thrilled to witness the signing of the bill, standing shoulder to shoulder with Gov. Healey, our legislative champions, advocates and survivors from across the commonwealth. At a time when so many states are weakening their legislative responses to gun violence, we are so proud to see Massachusetts take this tremendous step forward. We are also so proud to have been a part of this advocacy every step of the way. This law ensures that Massachusetts will continue to lead the way, showing other states the impact and importance of taking a comprehensive approach to preventing gun violence.” --- Ruth Zakarin, CEO of the Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence on Gov. Healey signing the bill changing the state’s gun laws. “Massachusetts voters sent these elected officials to Beacon Hill to stand up for our health, to protect us from corporate greed and to safeguard our climate. On all counts, the Legislature has failed. Despite two years of mounting evidence from experts, advocates and officials in the Healey administration sending a clear signal that it’s time to move beyond gas, the House failed to adopt reasonable measures from the Senate to move the commonwealth off of gas.” --- Mark Dyen of Gas Transition Allies. “Egos may be bruised at the Statehouse, but taxpayers should be feeling pretty good right now. Legislative leaders did not get their way with a handful of pieces of legislation and the taxpaying residents of Massachusetts were the winners. MassFiscal is pleased to have played an important role this legislative session with a voice protecting the taxpayers. We are the first and the last wall of resistance before another set of tax hike policies become law and we will not break. Our commitment lies with the taxpayers and we will continue to disrupt the plans of Statehouse leaders. --- Paul Craney, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “Instead of letting fear or hate drive the narrative around immigrants, we need to embrace the facts: Immigrants without status contribute hundreds of millions of dollars in state and local tax dollars to our region, fueling the services so many of us depend on. Granting those without status work authorization is a common-sense reform that would dramatically increase tax revenues, while helping immigrants feel more safe and welcome in the state and nation they already contribute so much to.” --- Elizabeth Sweet, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy (MIRA) Coalition, citing a study by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy showing thatImmigrants without status contributed nearly $650 million in state and local taxes to Massachusetts in 2022. “Since October 7th, antisemitism has skyrocketed across the country and continues to spread through our Massachusetts communities and institutions. Schools have posed a special area of concern, as efforts continue to inject anti-Israel and anti-Jewish content into curricula. In a strong demonstration of leadership and support for the Jewish community, several Massachusetts legislators took initiative to ensure Massachusetts confronts this dangerous hate.” ---From a statement by the American Jewish Committee New England on a section in the recently approved state budget that establishes a Special Commission for Addressing Antisemitism, and prompts the creation of curricula, resources and professional development opportunities to support antisemitism education. 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 sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week July 29-August 2. the House met for a total of 34 hours and 8 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 36 hours and 32 minutes. MON.
