This second round of awards will not only unlock another 856 homes, but will preserve historic buildings, support transit-oriented development and help revitalize downtowns across Massachusetts.” $3.5 MILLION TO PROTECT NONPROFITS – The Healey Administration announced that 30 Massachusetts nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist or extremist violence, will receive nearly $3.5 million in federal funds for security improvements. “The right to practice one’s faith freely and safely is essential, and our administration is committed to ensuring that no one experiences harm while practicing this right,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “We will not allow threats or acts of violence to infringe on free expression or the freedom of religion. And the security investments made through these grants will help further protect members of our communities.” “The Healey-Driscoll Administration recognizes the important role of nonprofit and faithbased organizations in making Massachusetts the best place to live and raise a family,” said Public Safety and Security Secretary Gina Kwon. “This grant program is one element of our strategic efforts to strengthen the integrity of the spaces where they provide essential social services and gathering space for people from every walk of life.” PROTECT ANIMALS IN HOT CARS – Last week marked ten years since former Gov. Charlie BUYER2 SELLER1 Sacco, Pamela 66-68 Tileston Street LLC Baker signed into law a bill protecting animals. Known by many as the “Hot Car Law,” the measure prevents animal suffering and death by ensuring animals can be rescued from hot or cold cars, limiting the time dogs spend on a tether and increasing enforcement of prior prohibitions on keeping dogs in cruel conditions. “Despite ongoing efforts to share information about the dangers of animals left in cars in extreme heat or cold, it was clear that state and local officers needed more tools to ensure animals are not suffering — and do so before the animals, usually dogs, were at risk of dying,” said MSPCA-Angell Advocacy Director Kara Holmquist. “We were proud to help advocate for this law in the Statehouse.” Holmquist encourages the public to familiarize themselves with the steps to take if they see an animal in distress in a hot car. “The first step is to call 911, then try to locate the animal’s owner,” she said. “If the animal is in immediate danger, Massachusetts law allows a person to remove the animal in the least forceful manner, with breaking the window as a last resort.” “We will continue to protect innocent animals from abusive treatment, whether it is from entrapment within a hot car, being left outdoors to endure unreasonably dangerous conditions or any other situation threatening their health and safety,” said bill sponsor Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford). “Such callousness warrants tough penalties, including jail time for the most egregious offenders. I am grateful to the men and women who advocate for these precious creatures and our law enforcement officers helping to keep them safe every day. If you see an animal suffering, call 911, and break the window. Time is of the essence, and our law will protect you.” REP. FRANCISCO PAULINO PLEADS “NOT GUILTY” TO PANDEMIC BENEFITS FRAUD – Rep. Francisco Paulino (D-Methuen) was in federal court last week and pleaded “not guilty” to 11 counts brought against him for pandemic benefit fraud. According to United States Attorney Leah Foley, Paulino faces eight counts of wire fraud and three counts of unlawful monetary transactions. He is due back in court on October 7th. He is charged with fraudulently obtaining over $700,000 in COVID unemployment insurance benefits and small business loans and using the proceeds to buy real estate and loan money to clients of his mortgage business, before he was elected to public office. Conditions of Paulino’s release include limiting his travels within Massachusetts and New Hampshire and requiring him to get permission to travel anywhere else; surrendering his passport; prohibiting him from changing his address; and requiring that his remaining business, Madison Tax, temporarily suspend operations and that his clients be notified of the suspension.

Members of the public are encouraged to report suspected benefit fraud in Massachusetts by calling 1-855-SCAM-MA-1 (855722-6621). Paulino did not respond to numerous requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to respond to the indictment. 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 CITY DATE 08.10.26 08.11.26 PRICE 730000 418000 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.
