Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 4, 2024 BEACON | FROM PAGE 17 equitable and affordable as a commonwealth means thinking creatively about our state’s fi nances and seizing opportunities,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “We have been fiscally prudent in building up the largest rainy day fund in Massachusetts’ history, and with the governor’s signature, our communities will now be able to leverage our robust interest earnings to compete for federal dollars to fund transformative projects. FOSTER HOMES AND DOGS (H 4911) – The Senate approved a House-approved bill that prohibits the Department of Children and Families (DCF) from prohibiting placement of a child in a foster home solely based on the presence of any specifi c breed of dog in the home. The bill also updates animal cruelty and abuse reporting regulation for human services employees or contractors. Supporters said that currently, DCF is allowed to prohibit placement of a child in a home with German Shepherds, Pit Bulls and Rottweilers. “This legislation will open the door for seemingly countless additional families to potentially become foster families addressing the great need for emergency, short-term and permanent supportive housing for the commonwealth’s children,” said sponsor Rep. Jack Lewis (D-Framingham). “From my work as the co-chair of the bipartisan Protecting Animal Welfare Caucus and my own personal experience of becoming a pre-adoptive foster parent, I know the power of this legislation.” The bill needs fi nal approval in the House and Senate before it goes to Gov. Healey for her signature. $12.4 MILLION FOR ROAD SAFETY – The Healey administration announced it has awarded some $12.4 million in federal traffi c safety funds for programs to promote saf- LEGAL NOTICE - er roads in across the state. “These programs, taken together, represent a holistic approach to addressing road safety concerns,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “No one agency or approach can resolve these issues, but the combination of prevention, enforcement, education and outreach initiatives funded through these grants will ensure safer roads for all in Massachusetts.” “The initiatives funded through these grant programs will ensure that drivers in communities across the state are better informed and safer behind the wheel,” said Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy. “These grants promote strong partnerships between nonprofi ts, community members and public safety officials. Those relationships are key to our public safety strategy.” $5 MILLION FOR FIREFIGHTER SAFETY GRANTS – The Healey administration announced that $5 million in grant are available to support the purchase of fi refi ghter turnout gear, fi re suppression equipment, and other related items by local cities and towns. “Modern firefighters do much more than fi ght fi res,” said State Fire Marshal Jon Davine. “They perform technical rescues, mitigate the release of hazardous materials and treat traumatic injuries. Many of their day-to-day activities expose them to carcinogens and other health hazards. These grants give local fi re departments the fl exibility to purchase the safety equipment that will best serve their needs, from small rural towns to large urban areas. It’s an investment in the safety of our fi refi ghters and all our communities.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “I was a little bit outraged by the fact that her opponent declared himself the winner when he knew there were ballots that had to be counted.” ---House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) commenting on a statement on primary election night on September 3 by challenger Evan MacKay declaring a 40-vote victory over incumbent Rep. Marjorie Decker (D-Cambridge).
