BUYER1 Campos, Sophia I Gongora-Garcia, Felipe A Malapati, Aaditya BEACON | FROM PAGE 18 said Carlson. “In Massachusetts, the second plate adds cost and environmental impact, with Massachusetts spending over $3 million annually on aluminum plates that require energy intensive production and create unnecessary waste. A single plate also avoids vehicle design conflicts since most modern cars aren’t built to accommodate front plates without drilling or brackets. Massachusetts has successfully used a one-plate system before, and with 22 states now requiring only one plate, the arguments for keeping two plates no longer match current technology or regional practice.” Carlson continued, “Opposition to this bill, primarily from police organizations, is based on outdated assumptions about front plate visibility, even though modern enforcement tools overwhelmingly scan rear plates, which are illuminated, unobstructed and consistently readable. Front plates are frequently blocked by grills or bumper geometry and are nearly useless at high closing speeds, so keeping them adds cost and complexity without improving identification. Studies have shown no advantage in law enforcement of states with two plates vs. states with one plate.” Registrar of Motor Vehicles chief Colleen Ogilvie did not respond to several requests BUYER2 Campos, Oscar G Calixto, Ana M SELLER1 Oscar & Sophia Campos Inter Gagnon, Collin Blake Hussey Paul T Est by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her if she supports or opposes the proposal. Opponents say that vehicles that have both front and rear license plates are more easily identifiable and improve vehicle identification which increases public safety. They argue that the twoplate system has worked well for many years and should not be changed. MBTA COMMUNITIES ACT (SD 2615) – The Senate referred to the Committee on Municipalities and Regional Government a bill that changes the current law which requires that an MBTA community “must have at least one zoning district of reasonable size in which multi-family housing is permitted as of right and meets other criteria including minimum gross density of 15 units per acre; and a location not more than 1/2 mile from a commuter rail station, subway station, ferry terminal or bus station. No age restrictions can be applied and the district must be suitable for families with children.” Current law also provides that cities and towns that do not comply with the MBTA law would be ineligible for various state grants to the municipality. The amendment would strike that provision and specifically states that any MBTA community that fails to comply with this law will not lose eligibility for any state grants. Co-sponsors of the meaSELLER2 Campos, Sophia I Oneil Jr, Richard J sure, Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth) and Rep. Colleen Garry (D-Dracut), did not respond to repeated requests asking them why they sponsored the bill. Amendment supporters say that the Healey Administration’s Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities is not being flexible and is pulling funding from some cities and towns that are not complying. They noted this hurts cities and towns which are already struggling financially. Amendment opponents say that current law already allows some flexibility for these adjacent communities or adjacent small towns by establishing lower capacity requirements and greater flexibility over where they site their districts. They noted that the Office of Housing and Livable Communities currently has the administrative ability to offer some flexibility to these communities and said the amendment is not necessary. They argue that the amendment is unfair to more than 100 communities that have already done the work and complied with the law; and sends the message that deadlines don’t mean anything. 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 ADDRESS 66 Wyllis Ave 69-71 Winslow St 39 Elsie St Everett Everett Everett 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 Sept. 21-25, the House met for a total of 28 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 30 minutes. CITY DATE 09.08.26 09.11.26 09.08.26 PRICE 89000 865000 575000 Mon.
