THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 30, 2024 Page 5 Sounds of Everett Marchese Must Resign! W ell folks, I must have been fooling myself to believe City Councillor Michael Marchese, a candidate in the state rep race, would apologize for his racist and homophobic social media posts on his old Facebook page – which he deleted post haste some time ago when it was discovered by some concerned citizens. Like his corrupt newspaper propagandist, Josh Resnek, who also lost his bar on lower Broadway in Chelsea for too much “partying” and shady dealings back in the ‘80’s, Marchese lost his gin mill, McDonald’s Café on Ferry St. in 2003 after residents living across the street unceasingly complained about the late-night shenanigans taking place for years at his bar until finally getting relief when the state police teamed-up with the DEA to take down the drug dealing, leading to multiple arrests and bad press for then-Alderman Marchese. It was obvious Marchese ignored the suff ering of his constituents. Following the bad press – the alderman pulled a disappearing act until the heat died down. Fast forward – Marchese, through his social media page – was posting racist and homophobic missives. It’s crazy to think Marchese feels as though he deserves to hold a state house seat. What a disgrace!As of late, the city councillor has been running ads in the Leader Herald – the same newspaper that’s being sued for defamation for printing lies and making up stories about the mayor during the years leading up to the 2021 elections. Consider the source when it comes to the Leader Herald. In my opinion, given the bar that has been set in Everett over social media posts and private emails that have become public by Resnek, Marchese should do the right thing by not only dropping out of the race, but resign his city council seat as well. But we doubt Marchese is capable of doing right by his constituents – he proved that back in 2003. Like his former gin mill abutters – the people have had enough.

The grant, totaling $1,001,100, will support the MPO’s innovative project titled “Neutralizing Onerous Heat Effects on Active Transportation” (NO-HEAT), which aims to enhance climate resilience by addressing dangerous heat exposure faced by people in Boston-area communities who walk and bike. The NO-HEAT project will integrate urban microclimate data with high-resolution mobility data to assess heat exposure levels for individuals walking or biking across the Boston region. The project will focus on identifying high-risk communities and prioritizing key pedestrian and bike network segments most vulnerable to heat stress. In collaboration with local partners, the MPO will plan, design and implement pilot mitigation measures, such as urban greenery, reflective paint and shaded shelters, to reduce heat exposure at selected high-risk locations. The MPO will partner with the Cities of Chelsea, Everett, Framingham and Revere, along with the advocacy organizations WalkMassachusetts, MassBike, Bike to the Sea and the Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA), to carry out the project. These partners will play a crucial role in conducting walkability and “bikeability” audits, as well as leading community outreach and public engagement efforts. “This grant will allow us to take an innovative approach to address one of the pressing climate challenges facing our most vulnerable communities,” said Boston Region MPO Central Transportation Planning Staff Executive Director Tegin Teich. “By leveraging cutting-edge data and working closely with our municipal and advocacy partners, we can create safer, cooler, and more comfortable spaces for people who walk, bike, and roll in our region.” “Heat island effect is particularly pronounced in Everett,” said Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “The City of Everett is engaged in numerous efforts to mitigate these challenges, and this project will provide better data and information to inform future projects and develop and construct those projects.” “As a pedestrian advocacy ~ Everett Public Libraries Calendar of Events ~ CLOSED for Labor Day on Monday, September 2 Parlin Adult and Teens Yarn Club: Parlin Fresco Room, Tuesday, September 3, at 7 p.m. Come chit-chat and stitch!

Flores is beginning his second year, but unlike last year when he learned that he was chosen to be the football boss only weeks before the first day of practice, he now has a better understanding of what he has to work with for the upcoming campaign. “(Getting almost 70 to tryout) was right around what we were expecting,” Flores said. “We will be adding more freshman this week when school starts.” There really hasn’t been any surprises so far, because Flores and his coaching staff have been around the players since last winter, and have seen their growth and development first-hand with all the work they have put in throughout the last nine months. The size of his linemen and a veteran quarterback – Carlos Rodrigues – are nice places to start as they strive for another Greater Boston League Justin Flores EHS Head Coach (GBL) title. “Right now, we are still working on depth at certain positions,” said Flores, “but I like the way some of the younger guys are stepping into those roles.” But with the exception of Rodrigues at quarterback, all the other positions are up for grabs, and only scrimmages will determine the starting offensive and defensive lineups. The Everett boys had one game scrimmage against Arlington on Tuesday, and Flores thought his players looked good on both sides of the ball. “There are still some small things we need to clean up before we head into next week’s first game (against visiting Everett quarterback Carlos Rodrigues looks for an opening to make a pass during last year’s comeback win over BC High, 35-34. (Advocate file photo) Mansfield on Sept. 6 at 7 p.m.),” the coach added. “Arlington was a big, tough team with some serious FBS (college) recruits, so it was good to play against great competition before playing a great program like Mansfield next Friday night.” Besides Rodrigues, some of the other returning players include wide receiver Yariel Ortiz, wide receiver / defensive back Joao Barreiros, offensive linemen Marvin Desruisseaux and Chris Ruiz, linebacker Kevin Diaz, linebacker / safety Armani Negron, linebacker Fabrice Michaud, defensive back / wide receiver Gidion Legall, running back Manny Santiago and defensive back / wide receiver Elijah. Lassister. They are competing against some formidable newcomers for starting spots, and only more intrasquad scrimmages will settle that question. But it’s a nice problem to have for Flores, who will be looking for another GBL title, but more importantly a berth in the Division 1 playoffs. Tide girls soccer eager to get going with talented underclassmen Everett opens up the regular season at home against Brockton Tuesday By Joe McConnell E verett High School (EHS) girls soccer coach Dom Persuitte is beginning his third year in charge of the program, and he can’t wait to get going. “I’m extremely excited to start this season, because we have a lot of promising talent and depth on the roster,” he said. “The depth is coming from the underclassmen, who have big shoes to fill after we graduated a whole team of seniors last year.” Persuitte is employing three captains this year, and they among them include seniors Yelsa Garcia and Emilia Marie-Babcock. Both players have been starting since their freshman year. They will be joined by junior defenseman / midfielder Casey Martinez, and she too has been a starter since ninth grade. The Crimson Tide participated in a jamboree last Sunday to get ready for the upcoming season. They went up against Mystic Valley and Bedford. They tied Mystic Valley, 1-1. Kayla Andrade netted the lone Everett goal. It was her first career varsity marker, and it was assisted by Garcia after she pushed the Mystic Valley goalie to the side to give her teammate an opportunity to tap it home. The scrimmage against Bedford was another solid effort by the Tide, despite giving up two goals. Babcock played very well in net, a relatively new position for her after she took it over last fall. “This team has some serious promise and talent, and I truly believe we are going to make noise in the Greater Boston League (GBL) this year,” said Persuitte. “I have a great group of girls this year.” Bridget Cifuni is Persuitte’s assistant varsity coach, while Leah Ferullo heads up the JV team. “Leah is one of my former players, who captained the team when I took it over two years ago. She is going to be a great addition to my staff.” The Tide girls will open up the regular season against Brockton at 7-Acres on Tuesday, Sept. 3 (4:30 p.m.). They will then welcome Medford to town two days later. This game will begin at 4:15 p.m. They will be at Methuen tomorrow morning (Sept. 7) to take on the Rangers at 11 a.m., before returning home to go up against Malden Tuesday afternoon at 4:15 p.m. 2024 Tide girls soccer varsity roster The 2024 EHS varsity roster includes the above-mentioned captains Garcia, Babcock and Martinez, and their teammates are senior midfielder Hilary Monja, senior defender / midfielder Alondra Flores, junior forward / midfielder Kathleen Desouza, junior forward Gisele Erazo, junior midfielder Luna Sepulveda Masselli, junior midfielder Gabriella Lones Rivera, sophomore forward / midfielder Leah Ferullo, left, returns to the Everett High School girls soccer program this year as its JV coach.

Reason for Denial: Permit was denied in accordance with the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance as follows: Insufficient Lot Area: The subject property contains approximately 5,000 s.f. of area. Section 4.B.2 of the Zoning Ordinance requires 5,500 s.f. of lot area for a single family and 7,000 s.f. for a two-family dwelling. The existing structure predates these requirements and is therefore a lawfully preexisting, non-conforming structure. The addition of a second dwelling unit will increase the nonconforming nature of the structures and therefore requires a Special Permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals, pursuant to Section 3.F of the Zoning Ordinance.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 30, 2024 Page 19 BAIROS | FROM PAGE 8 She also thanked Lambert for her “dedication and advocacy for students.” In a housekeeping measure, the Committee approved appropriating $203,286 to the Security Department Contracted Services line item in the budget after the City received additional funds of Chapter 70 education aid added to the state Fiscal 2025 budget. Superintendent William Hart said the money would be used for additional staffing at various locations depending on need and additional cameras “for an added level of security.” Hart also briefed the members on his 2024-25 schoolyear Entry Plan, formulated under the supervision of the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents (M.A.S.S.).

Superintendent, prompting formulation of the plan now as opposed to when he took over in the middle of 202324. “The process is designed to be completed within the first year and would typically be presented in July, but we didn’t have a meeting in July,” School Department Communications Coordinator Dave O’Connor explained. Briefing the Committee on the concept of an Entry Plan, Hart’s adviser from the M.A.S.S. Meg Mayo-Brown, said such plans “strengthen the drive to improve student outcomes.” She also said the plans focus on equity in the system for marginalized groups. The National Center for Education Statistics indicates statistics from various data sources like national surveys of students, parents, teachers, and principals, highlight disparities in education among population groups, including differences by race/ethnicity, sex, socioeconomic status, English learner status, and disability status. According to the National Equity Project, “Educational equity means that each child receives what they need to develop to their full academic and social potential.” This process involves “ensuring equally high outcomes” for all students while “removing the predictability of success or failures that correlates with any social or cultural factor,” such as having reliable access to transportation. As mentioned in a June 17th discussion on absenteeism, 41% of students in Everett speak English as a second language; 70% of students are in low-income situations. Hart divided his presentation into three chapters, Surveying the Vessel, Steadying the Ship and Charting the Course. Surveying the Vessel, running from January to June this year involved “developing transparent and collaborative relationships with stakeholders and constituencies to gain insight into strengths, challenges and opportunities” through listening sessions, reviewing data and learning about equity from the data. Steadying the Ship, running through the end of 2024, involves “establishing a baseline for critical processes for operations and compliance implementing new efficiencies,” by reviewing policies and the organizational chart of the school system and “ensuring a budget process that is inclusive and transparent,” and “determining areas for future study, including student outcomes by school and grade with an emphasis on reviewing outcomes for marginalized students.” CITY OF EVERETT - LEGAL NOTICE - ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS 484 BROADWAY, ROOM 24 EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS 02149 To Whom It May Concern: This notice is to inform you that a public hearing will be held on Monday September 16, 2024 at 6:00 PM, Everett City Hall, 3rd Floor George Keverian Hearing Room. 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: Property Owner: PROPOSAL: The subject property is located in the Business District. It currently contains a single structure with two stories at the front (along Elm Street) and one story at the rear (along Woodlawn Avenue). The first story contains two businesses (a hair salon and a restaurant/bar), and the second floor contains two residential units. The applicant proposes to replace the bar/restaurant use with three first-floor residential units and to add three additional units on the second floor by extending the second floor over the existing one-story portion of the structure. The existing hair salon is proposed to remain. Reason for Denial: Permit was denied in accordance with the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance as follows: 1. Front Setback – Pursuant to Section 6.B.4 of the Zoning Ordinance, no front setback is required for commercial uses, but residential uses require a front setback of at least 10 feet. The existing structure does not satisfy this requirement. A variance from this provision is required to add residential units on the first floor of the building. 2. Rear Setback – Pursuant to Section 6.B.8 of the Zoning Ordinance, no rear setback is required for commercial structures on corner lots, but residential uses require a rear setback of at least 7 feet. The existing structure does not satisfy this requirement. A variance from this provision is required to add residential units on the first floor of the building. 3. Parking – It appears that the property currently contains some parking behind the building, but no parking plan has been submitted in compliance with Section 17.C of the Zoning Ordinance. Accordingly, it is not possible to evaluate the extent to which the existing and proposed uses comply with the parking requirements set forth in Section 17. The applicant shall submit a parking plan meeting the requirements of Section 17.C. If the parking is not compliant, the applicant may either seek relief from the Zoning Board of Appeals or choose to participate in the Transportation Demand Management program, pursuant to Section 35 of the Zoning Ordinance.

If they want to be there, we can find ways to enhance their educational experience. I’m committed to this and with a dedicated staff we can get there.” Mayo-Brown said Hart put together “a strong plan that addresses issues of equity.”

There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. $650,000 FOR MICROLOANS TO BUSINESSES (H 4800) House 155-2, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of $650,000 (reducing funding from $1.5 million to $850,000) for loans to small businesses. The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $650,000 was eliminated. “I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary due to the availability of alternative resources,” said Gov. Healey in her veto message. “This operating funding overlaps with alternative capital funding in the fiscal year 2025 Capital Investment Plan intended to support this purpose. Specifically, capital grants for Community Development Financial Institutions will be utilized to complement this funding in support of small businesses and microbusinesses.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $650,000. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes $7.5 MILLION FOR PROGRAMS TO ENCOURAGE STATE COLLEGE GRADUATES TO BECOME PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS (H 4800) House 134-24, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of $7.5 million (reducing funding from $10 million to $2.5 million) for programs to encourage graduates of the state’s public colleges to work as public school teachers. The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $7.5 million was eliminated. “I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary,” said Gov. 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 to fiscal year 2025 spending for this item.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $7.5 million. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes $875,000 FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS PROGRAM (H 4800) House 154-4, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of the entire $875,000 for a statewide college and career readiness program implemented by JFYNetWorks, a nonprofit corporation, to provide online instructional curricula to help students meet the Massachusetts state standards at each grade level and reduce learning loss and achievement gaps. The program would also prepare students for required assessments and college placement tests in middle school and high school. The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $875,000 was eliminated. “I am vetoing this item because it is not consistent with my House [budget] recommendation,” said Gov. Healey in her veto message. (A “Yes” vote is for the $875,000. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL MATERNAL HEALTH (H 4999) – Gov. Healey signed into law a maternal health bill that would require certified professional midwives and lactation consultants to be licensed; encourage the creation of more freestanding birth centers; establish a grant program to address maternal mental health and substance use disorder; expand the statewide universal postpartum home visiting program; and mandate that insurers provide coverage for postpartum depression and major depressive disorder screenings for perinatal individuals. “Massachusetts is home to the best health care, but there was work to be done to improve birth options and health equity for families across the state,” said Gov. Healey. “These important expansions in the law will help make it both safer and easier to start and grow a family here in Massachusetts, while making sure that women can make the best health care decisions for themselves.” “Massachusetts is renowned for its world-class hospitals and health care facilities, and this BEACON | SEE PAGE 21 Inherited Ira Required Minimum Distributions T he IRS recently finalized its regulations on inherited IRA Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) in July of this year. This area of the tax law has become more and more complicated. The Secure Act involved major tax legislation relating to RMDs when dealing with beneficiaries other than spouses, minor children, beneficiaries less than 10 years younger than the decedent IRA owner and disabled or chronically ill beneficiaries, who are referred to as eligible beneficiaries. The other group of beneficiaries is referred to as ineligible designated beneficiaries (i.e. the non-spouse, et al beneficiaries). An example would be your child. Under the old rule, a child could stretch out the RMDs over his or her life expectancy. This would allow for great tax efficiency as the distributions could be stretched out over 20, 30 or even 40 years. Under the Secure Act, your child is required to deplete the IRA account within 10 years following the year of your death. This is a massive change in tax law. The new regulations now make it clear that if you reached your Required Beginning Date (RBD) at the time of your death, meaning you had already reached the age where you are required to begin taking your RMDs, your child would not only be required to deplete the account by the end of the 10th year following your death, your child would also have to begin taking annual distributions from this IRA account in years 1 through 9, with RMD calculations based upon his or her own life expectancy. This was unclear in the IRS’ previously proposed regulations. In the event you had not reached your RBD and were not required to begin taking your RMDs, your child would not have to take any distributions during years 1 through 9. However, the entire IRA account would have to be completely depleted by the end of the 10th year following the year of your death. It should be noted, that depending on one’s tax position, it may very well be beneficial to actually withdraw funds from the IRA account ratably over that 10 year period to reduce Uncle Sam’s tax bite allowing you to remain in a lower federal tax bracket. The IRS has waived RMDs with respect to inherited IRA’s for calendar years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. However, the RMDs must commence in calendar year 2025. If you inherited an IRA from someone who died in 2020, the account would still have to be depleted by the end of 2030, notwithstanding the fact that RMDs are not required to be taken until 2025. This rule would not apply to surviving spouses and other eligible beneficiaries. These rules are complicated to say the least. There are different rules applying to estates and conduit Trusts that have been named beneficiaries of IRA accounts. Joseph D.

Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “In addition to creating a formal licensing process for certifi ed professional midwives and lactation consultants, this legislation will off er expectant parents access to a wide range of services to ensure a successful pregnancy and childbirth, including universal postpartum home visits and postpartum depression screenings.” “I am proud that this important legislation will take positive steps toward addressing the disparities in maternal healthcare,” said Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth). “Strengthening access to physical and mental health in Massachusetts will provide a more inclusive support system that keeps parents and children healthy as they embark on their new journey. Every single family in our commonwealth deserves high quality care and support. Not only are we safeguarding the health of new families, but also laying a stronger foundation for future generations.” “These investments are part of our commitment across agencies to eliminate disparities in maternal health care that have led to worse outcomes in some communities and for people of color – especially Black birthing people,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh. “We are taking specifi c steps in designated communities to support the most disproportionately impacted residents and help provide much needed access to equitable perinatal and postpartum care.” EARLY IN-PERSON VOTING IS OPEN FROM SATURDAY, AUGUST 24 THROUGH FRIDAY, AUGUST 30 – Early in-person voting in the upcoming September 3 state primaries kicked off Saturday, August 24 and runs through Friday, August 30.

The grants are awarded through the Mosaic Opioid Recovery Partnership, a new grant program designed to support underserved communities and populations that have experienced a high rate of opioid-related overdose deaths. “Too many Massachusetts families have been devastated by the impacts of substance use disorder and we have been doing everything in our power to reduce overdoses and save lives,” said Gov. Healey. “These awards underscore our commitment to equitable access to necessary resources for prevention, recovery and treatment programs in communities disproportionately impacted by the opioid epidemic.” “These grants ensure that opioid settlement funds are invested in community organizations that are working at the grassroots level but face challenges in competing for grant funding,” said Undersecretary of Health Kiame Mahaniah. “We’re hopeful that these diverse organizations will now have the ability to build on their substance use disorder programming while centering the voices of the community they know so well and who have been directly impacted by the overdose crisis.” MBTA’S INCOME-ELIGIBLE REDUCED FARE PROGRAM BEGINS ON SEPTEMBER 4 – The MBTA announced that expanded access to reduced fares for income-eligible riders begins on Wednesday, September 4, 2024.

Sa nir Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller What Are the Early Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes? Dear Savvy Senior, What are the early signs and symptoms of diabetes? I’m 60 years old, and in pretty good shape, but was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. What did I miss? Diabetic Dan Dear Dan, The signs and symptoms of type 2 diabetes can be so mild that many people miss them. That’s why testing is so important. Here’s what you should know. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention more than 38 million Americans have diabetes today, and another 97 million have prediabetes, but many of them don’t even know they have it. Type 2 diabetes is a disease that develops slowly over decades. Most people have prediabetes for a long time before the disease becomes full-blown diabetes, and even then, it progresses gradually. Diabetes occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. This excess blood sugar damages blood vessels and aff ects circulation, putting you at risk for a host of ailments, from heart attack and stroke to blindness, kidney failure and nerve damage. Signs and Symptoms So how can you tell if you have diabetes? The earliest signs, which are usually subtle, including urinating more frequently (often at night), being thirster and hungrier than usual, weight loss without trying, feeling very tired, having dry itchy skin and blurry vision. And the symptoms that can indicate advanced diabetes and long-term damage has occurred includes cuts or sores that heal slowly, having more infections than usual, and pain or numbness in your feet or legs. Who Should Get Tested? Because prediabetes typically causes no outward symptoms, and the signs of early type 2 diabetes can easily be missed, the only way to know for sure if you have it is to get a blood test. Everyone age 45 years or older should consider getting tested for diabetes, especially if you are overweight with a body mass index (BMI) above 25. See CDC.gov/bmi to calculate your BMI. If you are younger than 45 but are overweight, or have high blood pressure, a family history of diabetes, or belong to an ethnic group (Latino, Asian, African or Native American) at high risk for diabetes, you should get checked too. To help you determine your risk for diabetes, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has a quick, online risk test you can take for free at Diabetes.org/ risk-test. Diabetes Tests There are three diff erent tests your doctor can give you to diagnosis diabetes. The most common is the “fasting plasma glucose test,” which requires an eight-hour fast before you take it. There’s also the “oral glucose tolerance test” to see how your body processes sugar, and the “hemoglobin A1C test” that measures your average blood sugar over the past three months. It can be taken anytime regardless of when you ate. Most private health insurance plans and Medicare cover diabetes tests, however, if you’re reluctant to visit your doctor to get tested, an alternative is to go to the drug store, buy a blood glucose meter and test yourself at home. They cost around $20. If you fi nd that you are prediabetic or diabetic, you need to see your doctor to develop a plan to get it under control. In many cases lifestyle changes like losing weight, exercising, eating a healthy diet and cutting back on carbohydrates may be all you need to do to get your diabetes under control. For others who need more help, many medications are available. For more information on diabetes and prediabetes or to fi nd help, join a lifestyle change program recognized by the CDC (CDC.gov/diabetes-prevention). These programs offer in-person and online classes in more than 1,500 locations throughout the U.S. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

All interested parties may attend and opinions will be heard regarding the following petition. Whereas a petition has been presented by: Property Address: 29 - 31 Harding Avenue Everett, MA 02149 Map/Parcel: Building Permit: N0-04-000018 B-24-674 Property Owner: Mr. Thiago Araujo 29 Harding Ave. Everett, MA 02149 PROPOSAL: To convert the existing single family into a two-family residential dwelling Violations: Insufficient Lot Area: The subject property contains approximately 3,302 s.f. of area. Section 4.B.2 of the Zoning Ordinance requires 5,500 s.f. of lot area for a single family and 7,000 s.f. for a two-family dwelling. The existing structure predates these requirements and is therefore a lawfully preexisting, non-conforming structure. The addition of a second dwelling unit will increase the nonconforming nature of the structure and therefore requires a Special Permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals, pursuant to Section 3.F of the Zoning Ordinance. Also, no parking spaces were provided for the conversion which per 4.a.17 requires 4 parking spaces.

Interest rates are more than double where they were two years ago, and I’m certain prices would be even higher without those changes.” ---Cassidy Norton, Associate Publisher and Media Relations Director of The Warren Group announcing the median single-family sale price in the Bay State rose to $650,000 – an increase of 6.6 percent from the $610,000 price tag in July 2023. 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 of August 19-23. the House met for a total of 30 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 15 minutes. MON. AUGUST 19 No House session No Senate session TUES.
