THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 26, 2022 Page 21 Discount Services - Raccoons - Squirrel Removal 781-269-0914 BEACON | FROM PAGE 19 sachusetts, on Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s announcement that she will lobby to have Boston included among the 10 cities and towns authorized under the new climate law to set fossil-fuel-free requirements for new buildings. “Gov. Baker talks a good game about supporting workforce development. But when he had the chance to help women and people of color build their skills and gain more access to state construction jobs, he vetoed a 20 percent apprenticeship requirement for projects over $1 million in the recently approved transportation bond bill. The 20 percent provision is modeled after the 2008 stimulus bill, which successfully increased diversity and brought new apprentices into the building trades.” ---Massachusetts Building Trades Unions president Frank Callahan. “I will say this: she and her team have been terrifi c partners on a lot of this stuff around the Orange Line. They’ve been great.” ---Gov. Baker on Mayor Wu. HOW LONG WAS LAST Clean-Outs! We take and dispose from cellars, attics, garages, yards, etc. We also do demolition.

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 latenight sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of August 15-19, the House met for a total of 30 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 35 minutes. Mon.
