They described the mayor committing various criminal acts. The majority of the drafts were sent each and every week – the day before the newspaper edition went to press for that week. One of the most infl ammatory articles published by the Leader Herald describes the Blue Suit having a conversation with the corrupt reporter/publisher – stemming from a draft of an article in a March 31, 2020, email – which made claims that Carlo DeMaria, while working at his donut shop, was involved in a scenario where a knife was held to a female employee’s throat and that the police were called and a complaint was fi led and reported by the Revere Police. When asked by the mayor’s attorney, Jeff rey Robbins, if Resnek ever presented any evidence that a knife was held to anyone’s throat; or read a police report in connection with the article, or if any charges were fi led due to the police report against the mayor, Philbin replied that he didn’t ask Resnek if he had any evidence nor requested Resnek to prove an ounce of truthfulness of the article.

Page 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 27, 2023 Sounds of Everett School Daze H ow much can one man take from the city?Tom Abruzzese is running to protect the salary and benefi ts of seven of his family members, totaling approximately $600,000 in taxpayer money annually.His three sons are a physical education teacher, a custodian, and an attendance officer.His two daughters-in-law, one is a lead teacher and the other a paraprofessional.His niece and nephew are both teachers.Do you think he really cares about the quality of education of your children?It’s about HIS children. It is no wonder he wants his position back on the school committee after a humiliating loss in 2021. He is looking to protect Superintendent Tahiliani who has promoted and protected his family over the last three years.He is looking to protect his son who was placed on a paid leave of absence for one year, after illegal discoveries were made about this teacher’s use of his school issued computer for various school activities.The superintendent did nothing with the report that was conducted by Law Firm Cliff ord and Kenny, LLP which recommended disciplinary action up to and including termination.This law fi rm recommended that this Everett Public School’s computer be turned over to the District Attorney’s offi ce for further investigation and possible prosecution after reviewing its contents.This law firm was hired at the public’s expense to investigate Mr. Abruzzese’s son.The report has been kept under wraps since 2020. Through its closed-door, hush-hush handling of this matter, school leadership has stoked widespread anxiety and fear.School leadership abdicated its responsibility to keep the parents of Everett and the public as a whole informed about what is going on.School leadership gets an “F” on public accountability. Here are some questions for Superintendent Tahiliani: Why did Thomas Abruzzese, who was serving as chairman of the Everett School Committee when his son was arrested, not publicly recuse himself from all committee discussions and decisions - both offi cial and informal - on the matter? Did Thomas Abruzzese have anything to do with shaping the investigation into his son’s case?If so, what did he do? Where is Abruzzese’s son’s computer now?Who has custody of it and what are they doing with it? Was his son required to pass physical and mental examinations by appropriate medical professionals before getting called back to the Webster School? This situation has been brought to the public’s attention multiple times over the last three years.When will Superintendent Tahiliani report to the public the answers to the investigation and the actions she has taken regarding Mr. Abruzzese’s son?Someone once said “Sunshine is the best disinfectant in a democracy.”If that is true, 2023 is a dark time in the City of Everett. Business Owner, Coach, Independent Jim Mastrocola knows the concerns of the Ward 4 residents. He is a lifelong resident of the ward, residing at 56 Preston Street his entire life. He and his 3 daughters attended the Everett Public Schools. Jim owned and operated the Mastrocola Insurance Company on the Parkway in Everett for 34 years. His work ethic enabled him to service over 3,000 clients. His work ethics, management skills and professional experience will be an asset to the school committee and city. Jim is community oriented, having volunteered for over 12 seasons as a coach, manager and mentor for Babe Ruth Baseball and Girls Softball Organizations. The Everett School Committee needs an independent voice to ensure that our administrators, teachers, and coaches are doing everything possible to provide the children of Everett the skills needed to maximize their potential.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 27, 2023 Page 3 ~ Op-Ed ~ Are Everett Schools heading into Receivership? L istening to the chatter around Everett, some say that bringing in a new superintendent mid-year is disruptive to learning and that all changes in administration should happen at the close of the fiscal year on June 30. Changing administration mid-year also provides missed opportunity to review candidates’ full year performance before making a well-informed hiring decision. Everett’s previous school committee formed a search committee for a new permanent superintendent around June 2019 with the intention of fi nding somebody before the start of the 2019–2020 school year. By the end of the summer, the search was narrowed down to four candidates, and by December 2019 the fi nal decision was made to hire Superintendent Priya Tahiliani mid-year. If the chatter now is saying it is disruptive to change administration mid-year, why wasn’t it four years ago? Let’s rewind to March 2020: The world was still normal; our lives were not disrupted by COVID-19 and the previous Everett School Committee gave our current superintendent a start date of March 1. A midyear change in administration was also disruptive in 2020 even though nobody could fathom the disruption to life that was going to happen 10 short days later. Superintendent Tahiliani’s previous position during the 2019–2020 school year was the Department Head of The Offi ce of English Learners for the Boston Public Schools. During this time the Boston Public Schools were failing and an audit was being conducted by the state Department of Education. In a district like Boston, 85% of the students do not have English as their fi rst language, making the English Language Learners (ELL) department the keystone holding a district together. The director’s job is crucial, and a director ready to take the reins to make it stronger is critical. The ELL section of the state audit, under leadership of Priya Tahiliani, revealed that this was the department that needed the most work. The audit revealed that · “The district has not provided English learners with equitable access to high-quality teachers, rigorous coursework, and appropriate supports, and has not ensured that all English learners process both academically and in English language development.” · “The district has not provided English learners equitable access to coherent, comprehensive, and consistent services in schools and classrooms.” · “Some English learners do not have access to language supports available in their schools” · “The district’s efforts to support English learners are neither leading to students’ ongoing progress in English language skills nor resulting in improving academic achievement.” The impact of not providing a rigorous curriculum to English learners by limiting the focus placed on compliance and instruction, opportunities are missed to create environments where all students can learn, grow, and thrive. Knowing that the Boston Public Schools were under state audit and one of the candidates for superintendent was a director for that district, why was the former Everett School Committee so quick to make a midyear administration change without OP-ED | SEE PAGE 8 ANTHONY DIPIERRO: A LEADER WHO LISTENS… What Anthony has heard – and what he plans to address h Safe Streets – Work to Keep our Streets Safe for People, Bikes, and Cars.  Work to Ensure Enough Parking for Residents.  Ensure our Neighborhood and City are not Overcrowded.  Keeps Taxes Low & Service Efficient.

CIGAR 170 REVERE ST., REVERE (781) 289-4959 City to receive $750K federal grant money for Gateway Park restoration E veret t By Neil Zolot is receiving a $750,000 grant from the federal Forestry Service to help restore the Gateway Park area off Revere Beach Parkway behind Gateway Plaza. “These funds will be used to engage volunteers and community members to help restore natural functions to degraded wetlands in the area,” reads an item on the matter on the City Council meeting agenda of Monday, October 23. “It’s an impressive amount of money,” city Sustainability Planner Katherine Jenkins-Sullivan said of the grant secured through the office of Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley. “It’s great investment for the waterfront and recreation area. It’s inundated with a lot of invasive plants.” “Gateway Park has been identifi ed as a high priority for the restoration of an urban Our 51st Anniversary Chris 2023 forested wetland, stormwater fl ood management, and heat resilience,” reads the Project Grant Narrative submitted by Conservation Agent Tom Philbin. “Gateway Park was among the top six constructed or restored wetland projects (out of 465) identified across the Mystic River Watershed. Everett has no other undeveloped open space close to this size with the exception of a cemetery, the median strip of a state highway, and a recently created five-acre park. This funding will help transform a badly degraded waterfront parcel full of invasive phragmites and illegally dumped garbage into what will become Gateway Park, a forested wetland area with an Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible boardwalk. These funds would support the restoration of a wetland nestled between the Malden River and Gateway Mall, an improvement in both open space amenities and climate resilience. The project focuses on ecological restoration of 14-acres of degraded wetland and stream to re-establish hydrologic function and provide habitat for wildlife. The design will provide resiliency to city infrastructure through improved fl ood storage and filtration of polluted water. These funds would complement funds being secured by the City for the construction of a boardwalk through the restored wetland.” “Funding secured by Congresswoman Presley will help transform a badly degraded waterfront full of choking weeds and garbage into what will become a forested wetland with an ADA accessible boardwalk for people to enjoy,” Environmental Resiliency Manager Catherine Pedemonti of the Mystic River Watershed Association said. “It will be the third largest open space in Everett and will provide access to green space, fl ood storage during increasingly intense storms and shade as summers get hotter. It will also fi lter pollutants from stormwater.” GRANT | SEE PAGE 7 ~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~ Parents should expect more from their school district Dear Editor, My husband and I are parents of children at the Keverian School. We are very upset after reading last week’s Advocate and learning that this school was determined to be underperforming by the Department of Education. We were unaware there was an issue. We would have expected some notifi cation about it by either the principal or superintendent explaining to us steps and actions they are going to take to correct this. We want our children to have the same education as the children in our surrounding cities. If the principal spent more time supervising the personnel in the classroom, we might see better results.

I also introduced ordinances to address the nips issue and animal breeding regulations, in addition to advocating for the allocation of $1 million in ARPA funds for youth-led initiatives by the Youth Council. Affordable Housing: I advocated for policies to support lower-income residents, including co-sponsoring an ordinance amending Section 32B1 of the Zoning Ordinances that require a portion of any new development to be allocated for affordable housing. I also assisted residents in need, both through housing authorities and with letters of recommendation, and initiated efforts to combat homelessness. Accessibility and Engagement: I co-authored a resolution condemning racism and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. I championed initiatives to enhance accessibility for residents with disabilities, conducted outreach through translated materials and mailers, and collaborated for over a year on a public micro-transit initiative with local and state entities to improve transportation and reduce traffic congestion. When I’m not in the chambers, I’m juggling between providing constituent services, meetings with city officials and community leaders, and planning upcoming initiatives. Outside of my council duties, I have stayed involved in our community through organizations like the Everett Haitian Community Center and the Greater Malden Asian American Coalition.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 27, 2023 Page 7 GRANT | FROM PAGE 4 “The grant funds will be used as part of Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s efforts to improve open space along Everett’s waterfront areas, including in this case the area along the river by the Gateway Mall,” DeMaria’s Chief of Staff, Erin Deveney, explained. “This project fit within the federal parameters of the types of projects the Congressional delegation could request to be funded. The funds will be used to engage volunteers and community members to help restore natural functions to degraded wetlands in the Gateway Park area. Enhancements will include restoring hydrological flow and buffer zones to improve air and water quality, reduce the potential of inland flooding and fire, and reverse degradation of wetland ecosystems through access stabilization and enhancement of soil, vegetation, and habitat improvements.” “For too long Everett has experienced environmental pollution,” Alfred Lattanzi, Councillor for Ward 6, in which Gateway Park is located, said. “As an environmental justice community, Everett deserves better and Mayor DeMaria is focused on making that happen. This grant will allow Everett and its partners to restore the wetlands along Gateway Park. We will remove invasive species and restore the area with native plants to attract wildlife and enhance the beauty of the area. My thanks to Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren and Congresswoman Pressley [for helping] us acquire this grant.” The city is also receiving a $59,688 grant from the state Executive Office of Public Safety and Security’s Office of Grants and Research – a Fiscal 2024 Municipal Road Safety Grant for use by police to support traditional enforcement activities by providing flexibility in addressing local traffic safety issues, allowing funding beyond enforcement to include equipment options and developing novel traffic safety programs. Deveney explained, “This will enable the Police Department to spend the funds to support traditional enforcement activities intended to address local traffic safety issues, including but not limited to efforts to prevent drunk and impaired driving. It also allows for expenditure of funds for enforcement, equipment and traffic safety programs.” “We have been a recipient of these grants from the state for years and in this case the monies have been used for additional law enforcement efforts to address dangerous and distracted drivers, operating-under-the-influence checkpoints in partnership with the State Police and targeted enforcement in neighborhoods we have found to have specific problems, including speeding,” Police Chief Steven Mazzie said. “Our goal is to make the roads safe for all who use them, with enforcement being just one piece. We engage the public and promote safety messages for drivers via social media and engage in other educational messaging with young drivers in an attempt to promote responsible driving habits.” PURE WATER STORE of MALDEN .25 Cents per Gallon Fill your own container We purify our water using the process Reverse Osmosis guaranteeing the purest water available.

In 2019 Everett’s Grade 10 ELL scores were 42 percent; in 2023 the number dropped to 33 percent, while Boston’s increased in the same four years.

Joe McGonagle testified before the Massachusetts Legislature’s Joint Committee on Public Service in favor of his bill. (Courtesy photo) O n October 3, State Representative Joe McGonagle testified before the Massachusetts Legislature’s Joint Committee on Public Service in favor of his bill, H.2594, An Act relative to the disability or death caused by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). H.2594 would grant disability to first responders who are unable to work due to PTSD presumed to have been obtained in the line of duty by a medical professional certified to diagnose mental conditions. This is the second session in which McGonagle has filed this bill. “Our first responders are increasingly being faced with more and more disturbing and violent situations,” said McGonagle. “They put their lives on the line to protect all of us and our communities and we need to take a step to protect them. We live in an age where we better understand mental health and the intricacies of our brains. We also know PTSD is a real and devastating disease. We as a Commonwealth already support first responders with cancers and lung diseases presumed to be from the line of duty. This is no different and we are doing our brothers and sisters a great disservice if we do not pass Rep. Joe McGonagle (second from left), Randy Greeley, Craig Hardy and Paul Jaques of the PFFM. (Courtesy photo) this legislation.” H.2594 is heavily supported by the Professional Firefighters of Massachusetts (PFFM), although the bill covers an array of first responders aside from firefighters. The bill remains in the Joint Committee on Public Service as it awaits a report from the Committee. ~ Vote Tuesday, November 7th ~ James A.

We are in the planning stages of organized tours with knowledgeable guides. The exhibition was created by the Jewish Arts Collaborative and funded by Combined Jewish Philanthropies. It was the brainchild of Newton artist Caron Tabb. Each of the artworks was created by a local Boston artist. Of special note is a piece by Brazilian American artist Julia Cseko.

Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 27, 2023 RESNEK | FROM PAGE 1 fi led the complaint against the mayor that was refl ected in the police report was thrown out of court due to lack of probable cause; Philbin replied, “No.” “Did you make any effort whatsoever to ascertain the facts about the complaint that was fi led by the person in the police report?” “No. I left that up to Josh Resnek,” replied Philbin. “Did you ever seek to verify whether or not this woman had ever claimed that Mr. DeMaria had held a sharp object to her throat?” asked the attorney. “No. I’m not a researcher. I’m not a reporter. No. I did not,” stated Philbin. “You own the newspaper, right?” asked Robbins. “I do own the newspaper, yes,” he answered. Robbins asked Philbin if there was anything in the article that should be considered fi ction or satire; Philbin said that it was a blue suit talking to Resnek. When asked why there wasn’t a disclaimer stating that the article was fi ctitious, Philbin stated that it was about a blue suit. When asked why there were disclaimers on other Blue Suit articles claiming that the articles were “not reality,” the witness was asked if there was a disclaimer on that particular article; Philbin said there wasn’t. “Do you see any reference to that, anything like that in this article?” asked Atty. Robbins. “No. Not in this one. I don’t,” said Philbin. “No.” In another email exhibit between Philbin and Resnek, Philbin is then provided with two copies of the same draft articles – one dated May 12, 2020, the other dated May 13, 2020 – in which Resnek writes, “…in the master bedroom’s en suite bathroom, (all polished marble and stainless steel donated to his cause by folks wishing to do business with the city) he usually shaves.” The attorney asked Philbin if Resnek has ever provided evidence or did he (Philbin) take any steps to verify that the mayor had accepted any goods or services from anybody. Philbin said he did not. Asked if there was any language of a disclaimer stating that the article was fi ction or satire, Philbin said he did not see one. Renek’s Blue Suit columns – despite almost never providing a disclaimer that the banter and scenarios between Resnek and a fi ctional Blue Suit, which he claimed was worn by Mayor Carlo DeMaria, were fi ctional and meant as satire – almost always mirrored the majority of Resnek’s page one articles describing scandals and crimes being committed by the mayor, particularly in 2021 leading up to the elections. Resnek would brag to many of his friends in emails on how his stories were destroying the mayor and his reelection chances. Philbin, gifted the newspaper following its purchase by his father and fellow defendant Andrew Philbin, Sr., owner of Philbin Insurance, which was recently sold to Salem Five Savings Bank, hired Resnek, a former partner of the Independent Newspaper Group, which publishes the Everett Independent and Revere Journal newspapers. Resnek was shown the door when the group parted ways with him after it was discovered by the majority owner, publisher Steven Quigley, that Resnek had taken money from a vendor of the City of Boston. Resnek would also be fi red from a well-respected Boston public relations fi rm as well as a Jewish newspaper. During the deposition, Philbin was shown another exhibit of an Oct. 6, 2020, email, including to the newspaper’s layout person, James Mahoney, of a Blue Suit column that claims the mayor was always taking bribes in form of money and casino chips thanks to the Encore Casino development. Atty. Robbins showed Philbin the draft of the column where Resnek writes that the mayor is involved in, among other things, secret deals. When asked by his Blue Suit character how he knows of any deals, Resnek, answering the Blue Suit, states that he’s written a book about the casino land deal, co-written by Forbes Magazine investigative journalist Walter Pavlo, and boasts of having a publisher. Resnek has previously testifi ed in his deposition that he had a manuscript but failed to fi nd a publisher, and promised Philbin that he would split the profi ts if he was able to promote it in the newspaper. Philbin denied knowing of Resnek’s “deal” to split the sale of the book profi ts. In the draft presented to Philbin, Resnek wrote that the mayor received a “bouquet” of cash for doing favors and that the FBI agent Elio was allowing the mayor to “run around without being touched by the law.” Resnek also implied that the mayor received a commission for the sale of the land to Encore. “Did you make any eff ort to verify any of the information contained in this draft?” asked the attorney. “No. I had no reason not to believe it. He said he was the investigative reporter. He’s in charge of these articles and columns…40 years of him doing this, I thought that he would have evidence and do it right. Yeah,” answered Philbin. “Did he ever show you any of the evidence?” asked Robbins. “No,” he replied. Philbin stated that Resnek never provided any evidence that the mayor had committed any of the things that was written in his article. Philbin would be provided with emails of drafts of articles he received from Resnek the day before the weekly editions were sent to press, proving that Philbin was the fi nal word before every edition went to press.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 27, 2023 Page 17 Crimson Tide football smokes Malden for sixth straight win Host Everett preps for Lynn Classical tonight in a game that will set the tone for the playoffs next week By Joe McConnell den. First-year coach Justin Flores he Greater Boston League (GBL), comprised of communities that surround the state’s capital, has been around for decades notwithstanding several years during the past decade when these city schools merged with the Northeastern Conference. In the early stages, the GBL was considered to be the gold standard among high school sports enthusiasts. It was made up of teams capable of winning championships statewide in all sports. But lately in football, Everett has been practically the lone team to maintain a level of consistency that is capable of competing with the state’s best. And this year is no exception, even with a first-year coach at the helm. The Crimson Tide is currently 5-0 in the GBL (6-1 overall) after its latest triumph last Thursday night (Oct. 19) against the rival Golden Tornadoes in Malden, 56-0. It was Damien Lackland’s T five touchdowns that led the Tide to victory past Medford the previous week prior to the Malden encounter. Last week, it was quarterback Carlos Rodrigues’ turn to assume the starring role after he too scored five touchdowns to lead the way against host Malprepares his team the same way each week. “We just continue to execute the gameplans no matter who the opponent is. We are big on winning every individual rep to make all 11 guys on both offense and defense do their jobs,” Flores said. And his players are buying into his system, and there’s enough of them to confuse opposing defenses. Rodrigues (13/19 for 271 passing yards, 5 touchdowns and 3 rushing yards on 2 carries) is the latest to enjoy the spotlight. “Carlos (Rodrigues) has gotten better since the beginning of the season,” Flores said. “He is a young (junior) quarterback in his first year starting on the varsity, but now he is taking more responsibilities each week. He still has a lot to work to do on his mechanics to the mental aspect of the game, but he is coming along with repetition.” Besides Rodrigues, Jayden Prophete (6 catches for 152 yards, 2 TDs) and Jaysaun Coggins (4 catches for 58 yards, 2 TDs) also made some big plays on offense against Malden. “Their (Prophete and Coggins) ability to go deep or to catch something short and go the distance is special,” said Flores. CRUSHING DEFENSE: The Tide’s Mark Sylvain wraps up the Malden quarterback during Everett’s 59-0 blowout win in Malden last week. (Advocate photo by Emily Harney) Christian Zamor (1 catch for 43 yards, 1 TD) and Pedro Rodrigues stood out on a defense that recorded its third shutout of the season, according to Flores. Against Malden, Lackland carried the ball eight times for 56 yards, and caught one pass for three yards. He also accounted for two touchdowns. Santiago rushed for 45 yards on three carries, and scored one touchdown. Domenic Papa hauled in one pass for 15 yards. The Crimson Tide will look to continue their winning ways tonight (Oct. 27), when the 5-2 Lynn Classical Rams come to town for the 6 p.m. game at Everett Stadium. It will be their last game before the playoffs begin next week. “We are treating this week like the first game of the playoffs, because of where both teams are seeded in their respective divisions (Everett, 16th in Division 1; Lynn Classical, 18th in Division 3, the Top 16 teams in each division with at least three wins make the playoffs) going into the last week of the regular season,” Flores said. “On offense, they are a spread team that looks to get the ball to one of the best wide receivers (R.J. Faessler) in the state. We will need to show that we can stop their passing attack. On defense, they run a 3-4, and so we should have a lot of 1-on-1 opportunities on the perimeter.” Tide field hockey celebrates Senior Day with shutout win over Northeast Voke Everett ends the regular season at home tomorrow against the rival Golden Tornadoes By Joe McConnell for it.” Jonathan Scoletti was the T he Everett High School field hockey team (4-11) celebrated its Senior Day with a resounding victory over Northeast Voke, 8-0 on Oct. 18. “I love to recognize and celebrate our seniors,” said firstyear coach Sabrina Wright. “This is my first group of seniors to leave, and I feel so lucky to have had them this year. They quickly adjusted with open arms to having a new coach, and with that I’m so thankful. “We played a great game against Northeast,” added Wright. “We were fired up team’s honorary captain against the Knights, and freshman goalie Willins Julien was then able to record his second shutout last week. He blanked Greater Lowell two days earlier by the exact same 8-0 score. Cephas Orleus and Scoletti paced the offensive attack with two goals apiece. Meghan Currie, Caden Sylva, Malaica Guillume and defender Taisha Alexandre accounted for one each. “We moved Alexandre up to give her an opportunity to score a goal on Senior Day. It was so fun to see,” said Wright. The Tide then took on Waltham last Friday in a rematch after losing 5-0 on opening day in early September. “I was excited to see how much we progressed in this game,” said Wright. “Waltham was our opening day opponent, and we are not even close to the team we were back then. In this rematch, they scored late in the first quarter. and then we held them scoreless throughout most of the rest of the game until late in the third quarter, when they scored again to account for the final 2-0 score. “We had some scoring opportunities, but nothing that clicked,” added the Everett coach. “But to me, despite the close loss compared to the opener, that’s still a win. Waltham is a team with great stickwork and great passing, so for us to give up only two goals is really something to be proud of. It just shows how much we have improved as individual players and as a team this season, and I’m so happy with that.” The Tide began a brandnew week with a 4-1 loss to non-league host Melrose on Monday. The Red Raiders beat them the first time around, 5-3. The Monday clash was their Senior Day, and as a result they were fired up for a win. Sylva was credited with the lone Everett goal in this game. Wright’s team then went up against Revere the next day after press deadline, before wrapping up the regular season versus Malden tomorrow (Saturday, Oct. 28) at home, starting at 10 a.m. In the Division 2 power rankings, this young Everett squad with a new coach is 48th overall with the possibility of moving up a couple of slots with wins against two aforementioned league rivals Revere and Malden.

Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 27, 2023 Tide girls’ soccer team sweeps the week against the Lynn schools Everett blanks Classical in a hard-fought game on Senior Day By Joe McConnell T he Everett High School girls’ soccer team (6-10) swept last week with wins over Lynn English (6-0) and Lynn Classical (1-0). The victory over the Rams last Thursday (Oct. 19) was especially meaningful, because it was the team’s Senior Day at 7-Acre Park. But before that triumph, the Crimson Tide girls took on the Bulldogs at Lynn’s Manning Field on Oct. 17, which just happened to coincide with coach Dom Persuitte’s birthday. His team wanted to win this game for him, and they did it in very impressive fashion. “The girls came out on fire, continuously moving the ball around the entire field,” said Persuitte afterwards. Kathleen De Souza netted two goals to help pace the offensive attack after returning from an injury. Yelsa Garcia set up her first score. Her second goal was assisted by captain Layla Cardona via a well-placed corner kick. “On top of her two goals, Kathleen also assisted on Yelsa Garcia’s first of two scores,” added the coach. Cardona, who is the team’s free-kick specialist, was credited with assisting on Garcia’s second tally. The Everett captain accounted for the other two goals to evenly divide the offense in this game among the three players. Garcia is the team’s leading scorer this fall. Luna Sepulveda Maselli initiated Cardona’s first marker with a cross-field pass. Her second score was on a solo effort after picking off Lynn’s defense. Goalie Alondra Flores and sophomore Veronica Pineda Coto, a recent call-up from the JV squad, split the goaltending chores to share in the shutout performance. Junior Shaylee Perez and Xiomara Perez also came up from JVs, and their play, too, was critical in this win, according to the Everett coach. “The entire team played as one, and everyone came into this game knowing what was on the line,” the coach added. “The defensive line play was also incredible, led by captain Shyann Ambersley.” Two days later, Everett’s inspired play continued to give the graduating seniors a proper sendoff on their day. The game ended up being a close, hard-fought victory for the home team. “My girls came out on fire once again, and refused to let up,” said Persuitte. “The game went back and forth, with both teams playing aggressively, before we prevailed in the end.” Flores floated the ball over the back defensive line to Garcia, who utilized her speed to catch up with it. She continued downfield, where she eventually beat the Lynn Classical goalie with the game’s lone goal. Winger Sofia Arana-Quintanilla was an unsung hero in this game. She was able to control the entire left side of the field, which made it difficult for the Lynn defense. Cardona and Maselli maintained order as midfielders. Shyann Ambersley led the defense, making stop after stop, along with Gleidy Tejada, Casey Martinez and Maria Silvestri. Emilia Maria-Babcock recorded her first shutout in her new role as the team’s goalie. She has made the transition seamlessly after replacing the injured Laura Sanchez, who broke her thumb earlier in the year. “The team played exactly how we wanted them to play in this game – together and as one,” said Persuitte. “The seniors who played made it a night for everyone to remember. Many of their classmates, however, couldn’t play, because of injuries. The entire coaching staff is incredibly proud of this group of athletes after they showed dedication to the senior girls on the team.” The Everett girls started a brand-new week with a 4-0 loss to Medford on Monday. More on that game will be in next week’s Advocate. They then took on non-league Lowell on Oct. 25 (after press deadline) before wrapping up the regular season later today (Friday, Oct. 27) at home against Stoneham, starting at 4:15 p.m. The Tide is the 50th ranked team in Division 1, according to the latest power rankings.

GUN BILL (H 4135) House 120-38, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that changes some of the state’s gun laws. Provisions include limiting the carrying of guns into public places including schools, polling places, government buildings and the private residences of others, with an exemption for law enforcement; cracking down on the spread of ghost guns with new registration requirements; updating the statewide ban on assault weapons; streamlining the licensing process; and changing the state’s “red flag” law by expanding who may petition a court for an extreme risk protection order against a person who poses a risk of causing bodily injury to themselves or others beyond just household members and law enforcement to include school administrators, medical professionals and employers. “Today, as we have always done in the area of firearm safety, the House takes the lead in acting to make the commonwealth a safer place by giving law enforceBeacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen ment the tools they need to go after ghost guns, keeping battlefield weapons out of our neighborhoods and keeping our schools, homes, town halls and polling locations safe,” said chief sponsor Rep. Mike Day (D-Stoneham), House Chair of the Judiciary Committee. “While Washington is paralyzed by dysfunction that endangers Americans across the country, we in Massachusetts address our challenges directly and take the steps necessary to modernize our firearms laws to keep us safe.” “The comprehensive gun reform legislation that the House passed today will make Massachusetts residents safer and will further strengthen the commonwealth’s status as a national leader in the effort to combat gun violence,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “While the commonwealth annually ranks as one of the safest states in the entire country from gun violence, the Supreme Court’s [New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, Inc. v.] Bruen decision nullified existing components of our gun laws, threatening the safety of the commonwealth’s residents. With the passage of this legislation, the House has once again displayed an unwavering commitment to ensuring that Massachusetts remains one of the safest states in the country.” “Massachusetts already has some of the strictest firearms laws in the country, along with the lowest rate of deaths associated with gun violence,” said Rep. Steve Xiarhos (R-Barnstable). “The vast majority of gun-related crimes are committed with illegal weapons and not with legally owned firearms, and the focus of the bill should be based on listening to our Massachusetts Police Chiefs and on punishing those who break the law rather than targeting law-abiding citizens.” “Instead of focusing on the elimination of ghost guns and the link between mental health and gun ownership, this legislation attacks legal, law abiding gun owners who follow the rules,” said Rep. Tood Smola (R-Warren). “The Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association unanimously opposed this legislation, yet the proponents of this bill never said a single word to address their objection. Unfortunately, we missed an opportunity to target the real issues related to gun violence in this bill.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes FIND OUT THE COST OF THE GUN BILL (H 4135) House 130-27, upheld the ruling of the chair that the debate can begin on the gun bill despite the fact that it does not include a fiscal note detailing the cost of the proposal. House GOP Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading) moved to delay action on the bill because he said that House rules require any legislation reported from the House Ways and Means Committee which has a cost attached to it exceeding $100,000 must be accompanied by a fiscal note detailing the amount of public money which will be required to be spent to carry out the provisions of the proposal. Acting House Speaker Rep. Kate Hogan (D-Stow) ruled that a fiscal note is not necessary. “This is not within our province to the internal workings of a particular subject matter committee and feel the order is not well taken,” said Hogan. This led to Jones’ doubting the ruling of the chair. Beacon Hill Roll Call asked the top two Democratic leaders in the House to comment on the ruling and why they voted in facatch up with old friends while making new ones. The event will have free admission for all who plan to attend. Families are invited to arrive early for a chance for kids to participate in a skills and drills session with professional women’s football team the Boston Renegades from the Women’s Football Alliance (WFA). The two competing teams will be comprised of Everett High School (EHS) graduates from different graduation years split into an “Odd Years” team and an “Even Years” team. Some participants will include players who played in the championship seasons vor of it. House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) and Majority Leader Frank Moran (D-Lawrence) did not respond to repeated requests for a comment. “In my opinion, the lack of a fiscal note on [the bill] is a clear violation of House Rule 33,” said Jones. “There is no way that implementing the many provisions contained in this bill will not exceed a cost of $100,000. Based on my conversations with stakeholders, the provision requiring the State Police to take over the inspections of firearms dealers from local jurisdictions alone is likely to cost $1 million to $2 million per year. Before voting on such an expansive bill, House members and the public have a right to know how much its implementation is going to cost the state’s taxpayers.” (A “Yes” vote supports the ruling of the chair that debate can proceed despite the lack of a fiscal note. A “No” vote is against allowing debate to proceed and supports the requirement that a fiscal note be included before debate can begin.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes OFF-DUTY POLICE OFFICERS (H 4135) House 158-0, approved an amendment designed to clarify that the bill does not ban off-duty police officers from carrying firearms in certain restricted spaces, as long as the weapon is provided by their department. The legislation originally allowed only active, on-duty police to carry guns in those spaces. “Most, if not all of us, have heard from our law enforcement community with concerns about when and where they would be allowed to carry firearms when not on official duty,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Mark Cusack (D-Braintree). “I am offering this amendment … to clarify that off-duty active law enforcement officers would be allowed to carry their department-issued firearms in the following places: a place owned, leased 2001, 2002 and 2003, which are known as the “three-peat” years. This is the time period when EHS football won the championship three years in a row. “Sports are a great way to bring members of the community together, and that’s what our goal is with the Community Bowl,” said Mayor DeMaria. “We’re inviting EHS alums from any graduating year to participate in this event that is a great opportunity for old friends to reunite as well as make new ones while playing flag football. All are welcome to attend.” The Community Bowl championship trophy. or under the control of state, county or municipal government and used for the purpose of government administration; a location in use at the time of possession as a polling place and for the storage and tabulation of ballots; and an elementary school, secondary school, college and university, including transport used for the students, in the areas contained within.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes DANGEROUSNESS (H 4135) House 26-132, rejected an amendment that would allow the state to move, based on dangerousness, for an order of pretrial detention or release on conditions when a person has been charged with covert weapons violations or illegal possession of a firearm. Supporters said the amendment would give prosecutors the tools necessary to hold dangerous people accountable and protect victims of gun violence. Rep. Alyson Sullivan (R-Abington), the sponsor of the amendment, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on her amendment. “This amendment is actually part of a number of bills that are currently before the Judiciary Committee,” said Rep. Christine Barber (D-Somerville) who urged members to vote against the amendment. “A number of those bills would expand the pretrial detention of people. And this committee takes the issue of expanding pretrial detention very seriously. The committee is currently vetting those proposals, and rather than taking a piecemeal approach of this one piece, that committee is looking at all the related bills in a thoughtful manner. And so we’re continuing to take a full look at this issue and I look forward to those discussions.” BEACON | SEE PAGE 21

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 27, 2023 Page 21 BEACON | FROM PAGE 20 ment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle (A “Yes” vote is for the amendNo EMPLOYERS MUST DISCLOSE A SALARY RANGE WHEN POSTING A JOB (S 2468) Senate 38-1, approved a bill, named the Frances Perkins Workplace Equity Act, in honor of the fi rst woman to serve as U.S. Labor Secretary. The measure would require employers with 25 or more employees to disclose a salary range when posting a job position. The measure also would require employers with 100 or more employees to fi le annual employment data reports, including information on employee demographics and salaries, with the state. In addition, the bill directs the Executive Offi ce of Labor and Workforce Development to track compensation data and fi le an annual report on data showing the state’s progress toward equal pay for equal work. The House has already approved a diff erent version of the proposal. The Senate version now goes to the House for consideration. Supporters said that in the Greater Boston area in 2021, women on average were paid 70 cents for every dollar earned by a man. They noted this gap widens among communities of color. “Many workers, especially women and people of color, underestimate their own value in the job market,” said Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “The 2016 Equal Pay Act made real progress on breaking down barriers by banning employers asking applicants for salary history. This helped women and people of color who were changing jobs because their past low pay didn’t follow them their whole lives. However, it didn’t help applicants learn how much a job could pay or how to assess their work’s value to be able to get past the new barrier of their salary expectations. This bill will give workers a better chance to be paid fairly by giving them straight forward information and help them have reasonable expectations.” “In the commonwealth of Massachusetts, we take pride in our world-class academic institutions, competitive talent pool and vast opportunities for economic success,” said Sen. Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough). “Yet when we take a closer look at the earnings of commonwealth residents, it is clear we continue to fall short of closing long-standing racial and gender wage gaps that dramatically suppress the earnings of women and people of color. By requiring disclosure of salary ranges for an open job posting, publishing aggregate demographic data to track wage inequities by race and gender across industries, and protecting an employee’s right to ask for salary range information in the workplace, we have the opportunity to recruit and retain skilled workers while closing the wage gap and ultimately boosting our commonwealth’s competitive edge.” “While I agree with the overarching concept of salary range transparency postings for larger businesses, I voted no on this bill because it would place an undue burden on small business,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton), the lone opponent of the measure. “Subjecting small businesses, who employ even as few as 25 individuals, to the salary range posting portion of the bill with violation fi nes for failing to properly disclose said information is unnecessary. Most small businesses are not equipped with the technical tools to develop the most accurate salary ranges for their job postings. With its existing laws, Massachusetts already makes it difficult to run a business free of excessive government mandates and penalties.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL REGULATE TICKETS TO CONCERTS AND OTHER EVENTS (S 2442) – The Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee held a hearing on legislation that would require that the total price of tickets for live entertainment events, including fees, be displayed to consumers in a clear and conspicuous manner at the beginning of the purchasing process. The measure would also prohibit price increases during the purchasing process. “Far too often, surprise fees pop up at the end of the ticket purchasing process that consumers throughout Massachusetts had no idea about,” said sponsor Sen. John Velis (D-Westfi eld). “Whether it’s tickets to a Taylor Swift concert or a Patriots game, people shouldn’t have to struggle through the process of fi nding tickets and then learn that they can’t even afford them anymore. At the most fundamental level, this legislation enables folks to know their budget when they go in to buy tickets and know the amount that they’re ultimately going to be asked to spend.” HEARING AIDS (H 3554) – The Financial Services Committee held a hearing on a proposal that would require all health care plans to provide coverage for hearing aids. “I have heard from constituents about the high cost of hearing aids, and as a caregiver myself, I witnessed the vital need for seniors to be able to hear in order to communicate and advocate for themselves,” said sponsor Rep. Kristin Kassner (D-Hamilton). “It’s stunning to me that these important medical devices are not covered by insurance. This bill seeks to rectify that.” ESTABLISH STUDENTS ENTREPRENEURIAL AND ECONOMIC INVESTMENT FUND (H 415) – The Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies held a hearing on a measure that would create a Student Entrepreneurial and Economic Investment Fund to provide an opportunity for interested students to gain experience in entrepreneurialism and early-stage business development while fostering an economic environment that will attract students to the commonwealth and forge a relationship between the public higher education system and the Massachusetts business community. “Under Massachusetts’ current exam-driven public education system, attention to entrepreneurship and personal improvement beyond the classroom is often forgotten,” said sponsor House Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “This legislation will provide valuable opportunities for students, encourage them to develop relationships with the public higher education system and the Massachusetts business community, and contribute to the present and future economic growth of the commonwealth.” SMOKING CESSATION PROGRAMS (H 1169) – The Health Care Financing Committee held a hearing on a bill that would expand smoking cessation benefi ts for MassHealth recipients by providing coverage for additional cessation services including individual, group and phone counseling by a physician, dentist, behavioral health counselor, mental health counselor, certifi ed tobacco use cessation counselor or other qualifi ed clinicians. MassHealth the state’s Medicaid program that provides health care for low-income and disabled persons. “[The bill] would increase the number of certified practitioners available to provide evidence-based counseling for those seeking assistance quitting tobacco,” said sponsor Rep. Christine Barber (D-Somerville). “Not only will this legislation help smokers identify their resources for quitting, but it could inspire someone who would not otherwise have taken on the diffi cult task of ending their addiction to do so.” BAN STATE FUNDS FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD (H 1224) – Another measure heard by the Health Care Financing Committee would prohibit any state funds from being made available to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, or to any of its affi liates. “Planned Parenthood is a well-funded organization that is often very politically active and very partisan,” said Rep. Jospeh McKenna (R-Webster). “I believe that this alone is enough to keep it from receiving state funding. I further feel that those who believe that abortion, the taking of human baby’s life, is morally reprehensible should not have their tax dollars go to a private organization who has this as its core mission.” LIMIT TRAIN IDLING (H 3268) – The Transportation Committee held a hearing on legislation that would prohibit a locomotive train engine from idling longer than 30 minutes. The measure would also require the Department of Environmental Protection to investigate idling violations and conduct emissions tests to determine whether a train’s emissions exceed carbon regulations, in which case BEACON | SEE PAGE 22 Say nr Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller How to Find a Medical Escort After a Procedure Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some medical escort services that help seniors get home after a medical procedure? I need to have a colonoscopy, but my doctor’s clinic won’t schedule my appointment unless I supply them with a name and phone number of the person taking me home afterward. I live alone with no family nearby, and my friend doesn’t drive anymore. Any suggestions? Need a Lift Dear Need, Good question! Finding “door-through-door” medical escort services for outpatient screenings and procedures that involve anesthesia can be challenging for older patients without nearby family or friends to rely on. Door-through-door escorts that most clinics require is a safety measure. With a colonoscopy, for example, patients often receive an anesthetic, like propofol, or a narcotic such as Demerol or fentanyl, combined with anti-anxiety medication like Versed or Valium. These drugs affect the brain, and they can stay in the system for four to six hours. So, what’s needed is someone to escort you out of the building, take you back home and see you into it. While there’s no one simple solution to this medical escort problem, there are wide variety of local service providers, nonprofits and home-care companies that may be able to assist you. But what’s available to you will depend on where you live. Finding Help A good fi rst step in making medical escort arrangements is to talk to your health care provider that’s doing the procedure to fi nd out if their clinic off ers transportation services or if they can refer you to a local medical escort service or person who can help you. If not, see if you can remain in the clinic for an extended period of time, until the drugs wear off , so you can safely drive yourself home or hail an Uber, Lyft or taxi to take you. If these options aren’t available, here are some sources you should check into. Area Agency on Aging (AAA): Your local AAA is one of your best resources for locating transportation services and should be able to refer you to medical escorts available in your community. To fi nd your AAA call the Eldercare Locater 800677-1116 or visit Eldercare. acl.gov. L o c al nonpr ofit groups: The National Volunteer Caregiving Network (NVCNetwork.org) connects about 700 community organizations nationwide, most of which provide doorthrough-door transportation without charge. Shepherd’s Centers of America: There are 55 affi liates in 17 states that provide support services for older adults – see ShepherdCenters.org. Most off er escorts to and from medical appointments without charge. Village to Village Network: There are around 250 local village networks across the country (see VTVNetwork.org) that often help with medical escorts, though there’s an annual fee – usually subsidized for lower-income seniors – to join a village. Home - care companies: You may also be able to hire a medical escort through a home-care agency, or you can find someone on your own through websites like Care. com or CareLinx.com. Note that Medicare doesn’t cover medical escorts, but in many states Medicaid does. If you choose this option, be sure you give plenty of notice before your appointment.

John Barrett (D-North Adams). “[The bill] will prevent unnecessary emissions and improve the quality of life for those who live close to idling trains.” POLICE AND FIREFIGHTER DEATH BENEFITS (H 2641) – The Public Service Committee held a hearing on a proposal that would change the current law which pays the family of a deceased police officer, firefighter or corrections officer the maximum pay for the position the person holds even if that person had not reached the maximum pay level. The bill would increase the pension given to the family of the deceased by giving them the next grade-step above his or her position after their death. “I believe this bill is important so those who have perished while protecting their communities can continue to support their families and loved ones after their passing,” said sponsor Rep. Angelo Puppolo (D-Springfield). “Providing these benefits relieves some of the burden from those left behind by someone who perished while actively fulfilling their roles and duties.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “The ability to work, play and enjoy our outdoor spaces is a matter of environmental justice. This program is another example of the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s efforts to ensure our outdoor recreational areas are fairly and evenly distributed among all Massachusetts communities. From a new splash pad to cool off in the summer to an accessible town green for all people to gather, these grants will go a long way to bringing communities together outdoors.” --- Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper announcing more than $6.6 million in grant funding to make parkland and trail improvements and preserve and protect land in Massachusetts. “Teen driver crashes affect everybody on the road. Parents and caregivers play a critical role in making sure young drivers learn in a safe environment.” --- Mark Schieldrop, spokesman for AAA Northeast revealing the number of fatalities in teen driver crashes in Massachusetts reached 49 -- its highest point in over a decade. “The cost of housing is the biggest challenge facing the people of Massachusetts. We said from day one of our administration that we were going to prioritize building more housing to make it more affordable across the state. The Affordable Homes Act delivers on this promise by unlocking $4 billion to support the production, preservation and rehabilitation of more than 65,000 homes statewide. It’s the largest housing investment in Massachusetts history. Together, we’re going to make our state a place where people can afford to move to and stay to build their future.” ---Gov. Maura Healey unveiling a $4 billion plan to jumpstart the production of homes and make housing more affordable across the Bay State. “We appreciate the work the state has done to welcome new arrivals and recognize the obstacles it faces in trying to address this massive humanitarian crisis. But it’s now time for the state to approve more funding for shelters and for Congress to get its act together and pass immigration reform that allows immigrants to work.” --- Elizabeth Sweet, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy (MIRA) Coalition responding to the announcement by Gov. Healey that shelters are nearing capacity. “As a former mayor, I understand how important these grants are to ensuring safer streets in our neighborhoods. Every community seeks to enhance the safety of their roadways, but each faces unique needs. This program provides cities and towns the flexibility to identify and invest in the traffic safety issues that are most pressing in their own communities.” ---Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll announcing $5.4 million in grants to 186 Massachusetts towns and cities to support traffic safety enforcement and outreach programming. 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 latenight sessions. During the week of October 1620, the House met for a total of seven hours while the Senate met for a total of one hour and 37 minutes.

Everett Housing Authority is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer October 27, 2023 Passive Activity Losses T he passive activity loss rules limit the ability of ~ Legal Notice ~ ~ Legal Notice ~ taxpayers to offset salaries, interest income, dividend income, self-employment income, passthrough income generated from active activities such as limited liability companies and S Corporations, lottery winnings, capital gain income, royalty income, pension income, IRA distributions and social security income with losses from passive activities, which are trades or businesses in which the taxpayer does not materially participate. Under the passive activity loss provisions, a taxpayer can only off set passive activity losses against passive activity income. Any disallowed passive activity loss can be carried forward to the next calendar year in order to be off set against passive activity income that might be applicable for that next calendar year. In the event there is no future passive activity income available to off set the passive activity losses against, if the passive activity is subsequently sold, all unused passive activity losses can then be deducted in full in the year of sale. Tax credits from a passive REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS “FIRE CHIEF ASSESSMENT CENTER”, Contract 24-30 The City of Everett, Massachusetts is requesting proposals for “FIRE CHIEF SOLE ASSESSMENT CENTER”, Contract 24-30.

October 27, 2023 LIKE US ON FACEBOOK ADVOCATE NEWSPAPER FACEBOOK.COM/ADVOCATE.NEWS.MA activity can only be utilized to off set income taxes associated with that passive activity. Any excess tax credits must then be carried forward to be off set against future income taxes associated with future passive activity income. The passive activity loss rules also apply to rental real estate. Taxpayers are allowed to deduct up to $25,000 per year in rental losses to be offset against all other income such as wages, interest income, dividend income, capital gain income, etc. The taxpayer must materially participate in the rental real estate activity. The deduction begins to be phased out once modifi ed adjusted gross income (MAGI) reaches $100,000. The deduction is completely phased out once MAGI reaches $150,000. These thresholds apply for both single taxpayers and married fi ling joint taxpayers. IRS Form 8582 is used to report passive activity income and losses. Any rental losses in excess of $25,000 will be carried over to future years. For each piece of rental real estate that you own, you must keep track of the unused rental losses that are carried over each year. If one of the rental properties is later sold, any unallowed rental losses will be fully deductible in the year of sale. Some taxpayers qualify as a real estate professional. In order to qualify, the taxpayer must work at least 750 hours per year in a real estate trade or business and more than 50% of the taxpayer’s total hours worked during the year must be in a real estate trade or business. There is no limit on the amount of rental loss a real estate professional can deduct on his or her tax return unless the taxpayer is subject to the excess business loss limitations as set forth in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Material participation in rental real estate activities is generally achieved by electing to aggregate all of your rental activities as one activity and demonstrating that you have worked at least 500 hours during the year in this one activity. It is often very confusing for taxpayers when they receive K-1 forms from real estate investment trusts and limited liability companies reporting losses. The K-1 forms may report that the partner is a limited partner, thereby indicating no active participation. This would result in the interest being deemed a passive activity. Those losses can only be off set against other passive income. If there is no other passive income, the losses cannot be off set against any non-passive income as mentioned above. As a further note, if that same passive activity reports a large capital gain on the K-1 form as well as a rental real estate loss or ordinary business loss, the rental real estate loss and ordinary business loss cannot be off - set against the capital gain, as the partner simply does not actively participate in the entity, and the capital gain is not considered passive income.
