In response to subpoenas to appear at depositions to give testimony about Philbin’s apparent cash-fueled scheme to defame DeMaria and try to force him out of office in order to protect the Philbin family business interests in Everett, Philbin has hired a lawyer to represent witnesses with material evidence to give about his conduct, and to inform DeMaria’s lawyers that these witnesses will not be appearing to answer questions. Under court procedures, this will require that DeMaria’s lawyers file motions with the Middlesex Superior Court for Court Orders compelling these individuals to appear and testify whether Philbin likes it or not, slowing down the Mayor’s atRUNNING | SEE PAGE 6 Re-Elect

Meanwhile, the Philbins bought the fishwrap on Church Street, and hired Josh Ratnek to get the mayor out of office. That failed, of course. Ratnek pounded the mayor in the fishwrap, week after week, which made fools out of the Philbins and Ratnek with their scurrilous lies and yellow journalism. Now, because the mayor supports the reelection of Rep. Joe McGonagle, McGonagle is their new target. The Everett Advocate endorses Rep. McGonagle who has earned reelection, while bringing millions in state aid to Everett. That folks, is public record. Marchese doesn’t work, he collects rents and does no heavy lifting, of course. He owned and sold the “drug place” on Ferry Street which was raided by the state police and Feds. Eight people were arrested. Marchese has bonded with Josh Ratnek, who admits during his latest deposition that in every article about the mayor, he lied and fabricated stories – for years on end. The Philibins want to run the city. It’s all about power, money and influence. On Election Day, Nov. 8 get them before they ruin the city. Give Rep. McGonagle your vote. He’s earned it. Mike Marchese is just another stooge for Ratnek, the Philbins’ and the fishwrap. And that folks, is the Truth.

The city’s Land Use Attorney, Jonathan Silverstein, said he suspects if the fiveyear moratorium was challenged, it would be successful. On Tuesday, he broke down the free petition into two Master Plan process underway, which there is not.” Calling it a process problem, he said the petition was not put forth as a zoning ordinance, but in his opinion, it would have to be since it is controlling housing development. Silverstein said the court would likely strike it. Councillor-at-Large Michael Jonathan Silverstein Attorney parts: the five-year moratorium and strict enforcement of zoning laws. “A number of recent planning initiatives have highlighted the need for more housing in the city, not less,” Silverstein said. “I suspect that five years would be deemed too long, even if there was a Marchese said there’s no parking – to start off with – unless the city goes to 24-hour/ seven day-residential parking permanently.

McGonagle presents check to Portal To Hope Advocate Staff Report S tate Representative Joe McGonagle, on behalf of the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick, recently presented a check for $6,000 to Deb Fallon and Lori Laviolette from Portal To Hope (PTH) at Everett City Hall. The money was donated to PTH to help continue the organization’s work in providing programs and services to help victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking crimes heal and recover. “I’m happy to see Portal To Hope receive this well-deserved donation as they continue their mission of one day ending domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking crimes and the stigma that often surrounds it,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “They do tremendous work, and I hope this helps them keep on serving people who are victims of domestic violence.” PTH is a community-based, nonprofit organization that is committed to working with local civic groups, hospitals, law enforcement, religious organizations and government officials and agencies to end domestic violence, stalking crimes and sexual assault. It serves Massachusetts communities in Everett, Lynn, Malden, Medford and Winthrop. State Representative Joe McGonagle presented a check to Portal To Hope.

According to the state website (sec.state.ma.us), Question 1 would establish an additional 4 percent state income tax on that portion of annual taxable income totaling more than $1 million. A yes vote would amend the state Constitution to impose an additional 4 percent tax on that portion of incomes more than $1 million to be used, subject to appropriation by the state Legislature, on education and transportation. A no vote would make no change in the state Constitution relative to income tax. According to the state website, Question 2 would direct the Commissioner of the Massachusetts Division of Insurance to approve or disapprove the rates of dental benefit plans and would require that a dental insurance carrier meet an annual aggregate medical loss ratio for its covered dental benefit plans of 83 percent. A yes vote would regulate dental insurance rates, including by requiring companies to spend at least 83 percent of premiums on member dental expenses and quality improvements instead of administrative expenses, and by making other changes to dental insurance regulations. A no vote would make no change in the law relative to the regulations that apply to dental insurance companies. According to the state website, Question 3 would increase the statewide limits on the combined number of licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption (including licenses for “all alcoholic beverages” and for “wines and malt beverages”) that any one retailer could own or control: from 9 to 12 licenses in 2023; to 15 licenses in 2027; and to 18 licenses in 2031. A yes vote would increase the number of licenses a retailer could have for the sale of alcoholic beverages to be consumed off premises, limit the number of “all-alcoholic beverages” licenses that a retailer could acquire, restrict use of self-checkout, and require retailers to accept customers’ out-of-state identification. A no vote would make no change in the laws governing the retail sale of alcoholic beverages. According to the state webELECTION | SEE PAGE 6

The Mayor’s lawyers have already won a significant Order compelling Philbin and his codefendants to turn over tens of thousands of pages of emails that they had been withholding. These including numerous emails that showed that Philbin, his corrupt publisher, Joshua Resnek, and their paper, the Everett Leader Herald, engaged in a multiyear campaign to harm DeMaria’s reputation in the hope of defeating him and winning more favorable treatment for the Philbin family business interests in Everett than the Philbin family felt they were receiving under Mayor DeMaria.

The defendants already have two law firms representing them in the lawsuit. Resnek and the Leader Herald have one law firm, and Matthew Philbin and his father, Andrew Philbin, Sr., also a defendant, have another law firm. Philbin’s move to have witnesses dodge subpoenas comes as the evidence has grown that Philbin, Resnek and the Leader Herald fabricated a long series of false articles accusing Mayor DeMaria of wrongful conduct, articles that Resnek has admitted under oath were made up and lacked any basis.

Resnek further admitted under oath that after he was sued by DeMaria and received a request that he turn over any notes that he had that supported these fabrications, he manufactured what were supposed to be “notes” in order to make it look as though he had support for his articles when he did not. Then, Resnek admitted, after he had manufactured these notes, he went back and altered them multiple times, and even then they were erroneous. Then Resnek admitted under oath that when he had testified in previous days of his deposition that he had actually taken notes, his sworn testimony was false, meaning that he had lied under oath about his manufacturing of the notes. No Escaping the Truth In a highly detailed Amended Complaint based on these and other admissions, DeMaria’s lawyers termed the Leader Herald, Philbin and Resnek guilty of a “corrupt enterprise.” It has emerged in the course of this case that the Leader Herald was, in the words of Philbin’s former employee, a “dying business” that had to be propped up out of Philbin’s personal pocket in order to avoid going out of business altogether. The former employee, who testified that Philbin told her that he had hired a private investigator to “follow” the Mayor in hopes of finding dirt on him that the Leader Herald could use against him, testified that the “newspaper” was not “a real newspaper” because it was financed almost entirely out of Philbin’s pocket and existed solely for the purpose of “getting Carlo DeMaria ELECTION | FROM PAGE 5 site, Question 4 would allow Massachusetts residents, who cannot provide proof of lawful presence in the United States to obtain a standard driver’s license or learner’s permit, if they meet all the other qualifications for a standard license or learner’s permit, including a road test and insurance, and provide proof of their identity, date of birth and residency.

That was over two weeks ago. There has not yet been a ruling on Philbin’s motion. The subpoenas served on the four individuals who refuse to testify come in the wake of evidence in the form of emails from Resnek and other admissions that in the summer and fall of 2021, the defendants, needing a “cash infusion” to keep the Leader Herald afloat and wanting to launch an intensive political campaign against DeMaria and in favor of his opponents, solicited and raised thousands of dollars in “off the books” cash to allow it to print thousands of extra copies of the paper. These were filled with anti-DeMaria articles and distributed to 8,000 homes and 2,400 other locations in Everett. According to Resnek, he collected thousands of dollars in cash, including “C-Notes,” in envelopes and from the backs of cars from opponents of the Mayor. A “strategy memo” drafted by Resnek and provided to Philbin outlined their strategy for an intensifying campaign of anti-DeMaria “messaging” – culminating in what Resnek promised Philbin would be an “atomic bomb” that they would “drop” on DeMaria, hoping to defeat him. DeMaria’s lawyers have reportedly also served deposition subpoenas on Fred Capone, who is mentioned repeatedly in Resnek’s emails, and on James Mahoney, an independent contractor whom Resnek and Philbin used to prepare their “paper” for publication during their anti-DeMaria campaign. no vote would repeal this law.

(Courtesy of E Club) ATTORNEY | FROM PAGE 2 allowing the city to take one single parcel next to a particular one and rezoning as an industrial or residential district. The city passed the zoning ordinance, which essentially did away with mandatory parking limits, according to Silverstein. Silverstein said that always could be undone. “If you wanted to pass zoning that said no more multifamily housing in the city, you can do that,” Silverstein said. “That’s different than passing new zoning.” Marchese added that they’re trying to have their voices heard in the city since no one seems to be listening to them, which is why they presented a moratorium to try to do a reset and find room in the city. “There’s so much building going on here,” Marchese said. “It can be done, if there’s agreement with the rest of the city and administration.” Silverstein said that as with any zoning ordinance it can always be amended. Councillor-at-Large Richard Dellisola said it’s concerning to put 12 units beside a residential area. “Everyone is voicing to us, but they have to voice to the Planning Board before it gets to us,” Dellisola said. “That’s down the hall from us.” Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins suggested a new housing and density study to learn about the impact on the city. Silverstein said he’s never seen a $40 billion project come into the city. If a moratorium, like this, were to pass, he’d be concerned that those kinds of units – at greater density – would go into the city. “It is beneficial economically to develop in Everett right now,” Silverstein said. Ward 3 Councillor Darren Costa asked about the town of Arlington doing a two-year planning initiative, back in 1975. He asked when a citywide Master Plan was done in Everett and if planning initiatives can be isolated to certain areas or if they’re broad. “There’s quite a bit of change happening, especially on Elm Street, some of which is unnecessary,” Costa said. Silverstein replied that Master Plans are more specific to certain areas of the city, such as lower Broadway. He didn’t recall a citywide Master Plan. Marchese, who owns multifamily units and commercial property throughout the city, suggested a planning initiative. He said the Zoning Board of Appeals can deny or grant variances. A local ordinance couldn’t contradict state law. Marchese, who tried to do a similar effort a few years ago, made a motion to refer the subject matter to legislative affairs. Regarding an ordinance to ban animal testing in the city, Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins clarified that this isn’t for pest control. The animal testing issue was not ordained. Costa left the room during the vote; Smith and Marchese voted in opposition. “It’s about dismembering animals,” Martins said. “It’s about force feeding – it’s torture.” Since Costa left during the discussion when Marchese asked about testing COVID-19 on people instead of animals, they reintroduced the motion before the floor for the Nov. 14 meeting. $$ CASH FOR YOUR CAR, TRUCK OR SUV! $$ DRIVE IT - PUSH IT - TOW IT!

Advocate Staff Report T he City of Everett, in partnership with the Boston Renegades, recently held the first annual Community Bowl at Everett Veterans Memorial Stadium to help support community member Brandon Conde’s recovery from a spinal cord injury. The event was part of Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s “Everett For Everyone” initiative and allowed residents to enjoy a game of flag football between members of the Everett High School (EHS) alumni of the “three-peat” championship seasons and the Boston Renegades alumni. The EHS alumni team comprised football players who played in the championship seasons 2001, 2002 and 2003, which are known as the “three-peat” years. This is the time period when EHS football won the championship for three years in a row.

He spoke about ways he promotes inclusivity within his own teams by having hard conversations with coworkers and getting to know each other on a work and personal level. Miles challenged attendees to measure how they feel their manager and the organization as a whole are inclusive. This was done through a scale he created that asks questions pertaining to different aspects of a successfully inclusive organization and culture. Participants would have to give an answer between one and four with four meaning it is done exceptionally well. City employees and managers learned about the importance of making those who serve inside and outside of your team comfortable to be able to express themselves. This allows team members to build a commu(WFA). The WFA is a professional full-contact women’s football league that began in 2009 and consists of 64 active teams across the United States as of the 2022 season. The Renegades won their seventh overall and fourth consecutive WFA Pro National Championship this past season. The Saturday afternoon event began with a pregame tailgate party featuring field games and fun for the whole family. Throughout the event, there were concessions selling food, drinks and merchandise where all proceeds would go towards supporting Conde’s spinal cord injury recovery. The flag football game between both teams kicked off with the EHS alumni team securing a commanding lead throughout the game and defeating the Renegades alumni in a 34-6 win to become the 2022 Community Bowl champions.

They then defeated host Saugus to complete the schedule on an upbeat note. Before the match against the Rams, the team’s seven seniors were honored for their contributions to the program throughout the last four years. The spotlight was on libero Jane Ebay, outside hitter Sophia Sousa, back row passers Emanuelly Fernandes and Alejandra Cajamarca, setters Samela De Souza and Julie Miranda, middle hitter Vanessa Almonte and outside hitter Michelle Ngo. After the festive pregame ceremony, it was then time to gear up for what turned out to be a most competitive match against their league rivals from Lynn, who defeated the locals in four close games, 3-1. Sousa played a solid allaround game that included three kills, according to firstyear coach Michael Fineran. “She also served the last two points of the third set to help give Everett the win, which extended the match to the decisive fourth set, 30-28,” Fineran added. Also standing out among the seniors in the final home match of their careers were Miranda (16 successful serves), Ngo (eight kills) and Almonte (five service points, four kills). Juniors Kaesta Sandy and Nicole Brandao also played well, while combining for seven kills and five blocks. In the team’s final match of the season last Thursday (Oct. 27) at Saugus, Everett was able to avenge an earlier loss to the non-league Sachems. They ended up beating the home team this time around in three sets, 3-0. Fineran lauded his team’s focus and aggressive approach against Saugus, noting that his girls hit nearly 90% of their serves, which helped shutdown their Northeastern Conference counterparts. Sousa again propelled her teammates to victory with 11 service points in the first set, including nine in a row. She also had seven aces in the opening set, while adding eight more service points and three additional aces in sets two and three to seal the deal. Miranda served 16 times against Saugus, including four of the most crucial serves of the match, when Everett trailed, 22-21 in the second set. Ngo, who scored a perfect 100% in serves during this match, also added five kills that were made possible by solid back row passes from Ebay. Fineran called the triumph over Saugus a total team win, while adding that the team’s final record of 7-12 fell short of their goal to make the postseason. But nonetheless, winning two of the last three matches sends them to the offseason on a positive note. And next year promises to be rather good for the Crimson Tide, who have a solid group of sophomores and juniors coming back with varsity experience that should put them over the top with a winning record and into the playoffs.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 4, 2022 Page 17 Tide completes GBL season undefeated after shutting down second-place Lynn Classical Everett football team now gets ready to begin playoffs at Taunton Friday night By Joe McConnell T he Everett High School football team (7-1 overall, 6-0 in the Greater Boston League [GBL]) has been dominating GBL rivals all season long, but probably its most important victory came last Friday night (Oct. 28) at Lynn’s Manning Field against Lynn Classical (5-2 overall, 4-1 In the GBL). The Crimson Tide (5-0) entered the contest one game ahead of the second-place Rams (4-0) in the GBL, but by game’s end coach Rob DiLoreto’s squad emerged unscathed once again after posting a 31-0 drubbing over the home team. As a result, the Everett boys begin the Division 1 playoffs as the 11th seed, and they will face host Taunton (5-3), the sixth seed, in a Round of 16 game Friday night (Nov. 5), starting at 7 p.m., while the Rams, the 15th seed, have the dubious honor of taking on undefeated Andover (8-0), the second seed, in Andover. “I was very proud of our effort against a very physical Lynn Classical team,” said DiLoreto. “Our kickoff team set the tone early on by creating a big turnover, which led to a touchdown [in the second quarter]. They also ended up leading us to another touchdown. [Those plays] turned out to be big factors in the outcome of the game.” “But we still know we need to play our very best game of the year away from home against Taunton to begin the playoffs Friday night,” added the veteran high school coach. After a scoreless first quarter, the Tide scored 12 second-quarter points. Damien Lackland ignited the offense with a twoyard touchdown run, which also ended up being the game-winning points. The special teams then began tacking on the insurance points when Angel Diaz recovered a fumble and proceeded to run the final five yards to account for his team’s second score. Quarterback Karmarr i Ellerbe produced the first touchdown of the second half with a six-yard run to extend the lead to 18-0. Lackland made it 24-0 with a 31-yard burst from scrimmage, and he was also credited with the team’s final score of the game in the fourth quarter after successfully negotiating the final four yards to pay dirt. Adoni Santos followed by kicking the extra point through the uprights to seal the 31-0 verdict. “Our offense was led by some big runs from Karmarri Ellerbe [one touchdown], Damien Lackland [three touchdowns], Jayden Prophete and Jaiden Williams,” said DiLoreto. DiLoreto also praised the defense, specifically ends Kevin Ruiz, Shane McKenzie and Jason Stark. “All three players did a tremendous Re-Elect Representative Joe McGonagle RIDE TO THE POLLS 617-605-3079 617-240-0767 All for one and one for all as the Crimson Tide celebrated another touchdown by junior running back Damien Lackland (#10) – shown celebrating with his teammates in the end zone. job disrupting the Lynn Classical blocking schemes that we faced all game long,” he added. But now, it ’s all about the playoffs, where one loss ends a team’s Super Bowl dreams, while also being relegated to consolation games to complete the regular season. Despite having a better record than Taunton, the power rankings dictate for Everett to take a long trip to that school. But DiLoreto promises that his team will be prepared to face them. “Our coaching staff was hard at work studying film on Taunton after finding out on Monday we’ll be playing them,” he said. “My own film study and gameplan preparation usually begins very early Saturday morning, so this is a very short week for me. But we will get the work in to properly prepare the team. We are naturally very excited about qualifying for the playoffs, and will do our best to represent Everett with pride.” The 2022 Division 1 Top 16 teams are as follows: Franklin (5-2), Andover (80), Central Catholic (6-2), Springfield Central (7-1), Xaverian Brothers (6-2), The Crimson Tide’s Jayden Prophete looks for a hole behind the nifty blocking of Aidan Duclos (#50) and Jason Stark (#87).

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call looks at an important but little-known roll call vote from 2019 related to Question 1 on the November ballot. BEHIND THE SCENES ON QUESTION 1 The first question on the November ballot asks voters if they favor a proposed constitutional change that would allow a graduated income tax in Massachusetts and impose an additional 4 percent income tax, in addition to the current flat 5 percent one, on taxpayers’ earnings of more than $1 million annually. Language in the change requires that “subject to appropriation, the revenue will go to fund quality public education, affordable public colleges and universities, and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and public transportation.” Supporters say the change will affect only 18,000 extremely wealthy individuals and will generate up to $2 billion annually in additional tax revenue. They argue that using the funds for education and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and public transportation will benefit millions of Bay State taxpayers. They note the hike would help lower income families which are now paying a higher share of their income in taxes. Opponents argue the new tax will result in the loss of Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen 9,500 private sector jobs, $405 million annually in personal disposable income and some millionaires moving out of state. They say that the earmarking of the funds for specific projects is a phony sham and argue all the funds will go into the General Fund and be up for grabs for anything. While considering the measure in 2019, Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading) offered an amendment that was defeated 34-123 by the House and 6-33 by the Senate. The amendment would have required that the revenue generated by the 4 percent tax be in addition, not in lieu of, the amount of funding for education and transportation that the Legislature already spends on those two areas. Amendment supporters said this will prevent a “bait and switch” scenario in which $1.9 billion in new revenue from the 4 percent tax is dedicated to transportation and education but then the Legislature takes money out of the money currently spent in those areas and spends it elsewhere. The net result would be that the $1.9 billion would be essentially spent in other areas rather than the two promised ones. Amendment opponents said the intent of the amendment is clear and there is no evidence that this is a “bait and switch” amendment. They argued that the proposal is on solid ground and that there is no need to add this language. “Question 1 supporters claim all of the revenues generated through the proposed surtax on income above $1 million will go to education and transportation, but the truth is this funding would be ‘subject to appropriation,’ which means the Legislature can spend it any way it wants,” said Jones. “I offered the amending language requiring that any revenues raised be allocated ‘in addition to’ and not ‘in lieu of’ funding that is already being spent in these two areas. Voters have an expectation that Question 1 will provide for increased spending on education and transportation, and my amendment would have offered some degree of certainty that that will actually happen. Without this stipulation, I’m afraid voters are being sold a false bill of goods that could result in a ‘bait and switch’ that provides no net increase in education or transportation spending.” “The Jones amendment, twice proposed and defeated…during the constitutional amendment debates, was intended to codify proponents’ alleged intent and assurances and hold them to it,” said Chip Ford, executive director of Citizens for Limited Taxation which opposed and defeated the last two graduated income tax ballot questions to amend the state constitution in 1976 and 1994. “ The amendment would have enshrined in this constitutional amendment what is being blithely asserted by proponents, that all new revenue from the potential surtax on millionaires would supplement rather than supplant existing spending on transportation and education. If anyone needs evidence that this is a ‘bait and switch’ scam to deceive voters, they need look no further than those two defeats of that one amendment.” “This amendment that was offered and rejected, would have held accountable the proponent’s claim that this 80 percent income tax hike would be used for the additional spending on education and transportation,” said Paul Craney, spokesperson for the Mass Fiscal Alliance. “It failed because the Legislature cannot be bound by a ballot question for how it spends our tax dollars. If Question 1 is passed, there is absolutely no guarantee this 80 percent income tax hike would be used on additional spending for transportation and education.” Three key players who support Question 1 did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on the Jones’ amendment, including Questions 1’s co-sponsors Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester) and Rep. Michael O’Day (D-West Boylston),as well as Andrew Farnitano, spokesperson for the “Yes on Question 1” campaign. (Here is how your local legislators voted on the Jones amendment that would require the revenue generated by the 4 percent tax be in addition, not in lieu of, the amount of funding for education and transportation that the Legislature already spends on those two areas. A “Yes” vote is for the Jones amendment. A “No” vote is against the Jones amendment. Please note that this is not a vote on Question 1 itself, but rather a vote on the Jones amendment). Rep. Joseph McGonagle No Sen. Sal DiDomenico No ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL STEP THERAPY (H 4929) – The House and Senate approved and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker a bill that limits the use of health care plan mandated prescription drug “step therapy” protocols and provides more exemptions to the mandate. Step therapy requires the patient to try less expensive options before “stepping up” to drugs that cost more. Conditions which would exempt a patient from trying the less expensive drug first include if the treatment will harm the patient, or if the patient previously tried the required treatment, or similar treatment, and it was ineffective. Supporters said that insurers that utilize step therapy protocols require medical providers to prescribe lower-cost medications to patients first, and only grant approval for alternative medications when the cheaper options have failed to improve a patient’s condition. This results in insurers effectively choosing medications for the patient, even in cases where their providers have recommended an alternative. When patients change insurers, they are often forced to start at the beginning of the step therapy protocol again, which results in wasteful health care expenditures, lost time for patients and potentially devastating health care impacts on the patient. “Today, we are taking action to ensure that patients with complicated illnesses receive the medications that their doctors know they need—not repeatedly taking medications that are ineffective,” said sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro), Senate Chair of Committee on Mental Health, Substance Abuse and Recovery. “Waiting for treatment to fail first before utilizing a preferred medication often leads to worsening symptoms that cause complications and needless suffering for patients. It is a shortsighted practice that puts patients at unnecessary risk.” “Providing access to groundbreaking treatments that help improve the quality of life for those fighting cancer, debilitating diseases and a wide range of other medical conditions is a vitally important step we need to take, which is why the Senate acted again today to pass this critically important legislation,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “This bill is a major step forward in ensuring patients and doctors have access to the right medication at the right time,” said Sen.

Currently, Massachusetts is one of only eight states that does not provide a provisional license that allows their students to begin practicing during their fellowship. Supporters said that by forPage 19 bidding their right to practice during their 36-month fellowship, the state runs the risk of losing professionals educated in the Bay State to other states where they become valuable members of their community and welcomed additions to the economy. “The commonwealth has faced a shortage of the vital services our speech language pathologists provide our public-school children—an issue we should not have in a state that is home to eight graduate programs in the field,” said sponsor Rep. Paul McMurtry (D-Dedham). “This legislation will assure we do not lose these talented professionals to other states during their 36-month fellowship by providing them with provisional licensure to practice during that time.” The House has already approved the measure and only final approval in each branch is needed for the bill to go to Gov. Baker. ROSA PARKS DAY (H 3189) – The House approved and sent to the Senate legislation that would designate February 4th as Rosa Parks Day, in recognition of the historic civil rights leader.

Page 22 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 4, 2022 Michael DeLeo, MD, MBA, CPE, Named Chief Medical Officer at MelroseWakefield Hospital and Lawrence Memorial Hospital An experienced physician leader focused on safety, quality and patient experience Melrose, Massachusetts – Michael DeLeo, III, M.D., M.B.A., C.P.E., has been named Chief Medical Officer for MelroseWakefield Hospital and Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Dr. DeLeo is a board-certified diagnostic radiologist fellowship trained in breast and oncologic imaging. He is an experienced clinical leader who most recently served as Chief Medical Officer for Foundation Medical Partners of Southern New Hampshire Health. He brings particular experience in programmatic growth and academic medicine clinical partnerships, and he will lead growth initiatives at MelroseWakefield focused on expanding access to community services. He will be working closely with his clinical peers across Tufts Medicine, including Tufts Medical Center. “Dr. DeLeo is a collaborative, authentic and respected leader who will be an impactful addition to the MelroseWakefield family,” said Kelly Corbi, President of MelroseWakefield Hospital and Lawrence MemoBetter Business Bureau Scam Alert: Con artists have your FAFSA details in this convincing student loan forgiveness scam twist S tudent loan holders, be wary of out-of-theblue calls. The rollout of the Biden Administration’s plan to cancel some federal student loan debt has begun, and scammers are finding convincing ways to take advantage of any confusion. Victims are telling the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Scam Tracker about a loan forgiveness scam where the caller has their Social Security number, graduation date and even federal student aid information. How the scam works: You receive a call or voicemail from someone claiming to represent the new student loan forgiveness program. The scammer insists they can help you secure tens of thousands of dollars in loan forgiveness. According to one recent BBB Scam Tracker report, the con artist promised to erase $60K of the victim’s student loan – an amount well beyond the Biden Administration plan. These callers have a convincing amount of information as well as “all kinds of numbers and figures to tell you what you’re going to save,” according to recent BBB Scam Tracker reports. One report said the caller “not only had my email address but also the name of the school I attended and the last 4 digits of my social security number.” Another victim reported that the scammers “somehow knew my FAFSA account info and made me believe they work in conjunction with the loan forgiveness program.” In most versions of this scam, the caller insists you need to pay them an initial fee – typically several hundred dollars spread over a couple of months – followed by smaller monthly payments. Then, when the current pause on the loan forgiveness program ends, your loan will be forgiven. Unfortunately, these con artists have no association with the official student debt relief plan. Anything you pay will go into the scammers’ pockets and will do nothing to help relieve your student loans. How to avoid student loan forgiveness scams: • When in doubt, contact the government agency directly. If you receive a message that seems legitimate, but you aren’t sure, stop communicating with the person who contacted you. Then verify their claims by contacting the government agency they say they represent. For details on the student loan forgiveness program, visit ED.gov or StudentAid.gov. • Never pay fees for a free government program. Government agencies will never ask you to pay a fee to benefit from a free government program. Don’t let scammers persuade you otherwise. Con artists might say the fee will get you relief faster or will unlock additional benefits, but that is all part of the scam. • Think twice about unsolicited calls, emails or text messages. Usually, government agencies won’t reach out to you unless you request it. Out-of-the-blue communications are a red flag. • Don’t give in to scare tactics. If someone claims you’ll miss out if you don’t act immediately, be wary. This urgency is an all-too-common tactic scammers use on their victims. Instead of responding, stop communications until you can verify what they say is true. For more information: Get more solid advice by reading “BBB Tip: Student loan forgiveness is here.

Latest Seasonally Unadjusted Unemployment and Job Estimates for Local Labor Markets in Massachusetts BOSTON, MA — October 25, 2022 — Local unemployment rates increased in two labor market areas, decreased in twenty-one areas and remained unchanged in one area in the state during the month of September compared to August, the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development reported. Compared to September 2021, the rates were down in twenty-four labor market areas. Of the fifteen areas for which estimates are published, six NECTA areas gained jobs compared to the previous month. The largest percentage increases occurred in the Springfield MA-CT (+1.2%), Lowell-Billerica-Chelmsford MA-NH (+0.9%), and Leominster-Gardner (+0.8%) areas. From September 2021 to September 2022, fourteen areas gained jobs with the largest percentage increases seen in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton (+5.3%), Lowell-Billerica-Chelmsford MA-NH (+5.2%), and Framingham (+4.1%) areas. The statewide seasonally adjusted preliminary jobs estimate showed an increase of 13,800 jobs in September, and an over-the-year gain of 151,700 jobs. In order to compare the statewide rate to local unemployment rates, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the statewide unadjusted unemployment rate for September 2022 was 3.1 percent, down fourtenths of a percentage point from the revised August estimate and two-tenths of a percentage point below the nation’s unadjusted unemployment rate of 3.3 percent. Last week, the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development reported the statewide seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in the month of September 2022 was 3.4 percent, down two-tenths of a percentage point from the revised August 2022 estimate of 3.6 percent. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the nation’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for September 2022 was 3.5 percent. The unadjusted unemployment rates and job estimates for the labor market areas reflect seasonal fluctuations and therefore may show different levels and trends than the statewide seasonally adjusted estimates. The estimates for labor force, unemployment rates, and jobs for Massachusetts are based on different statistical methodology specified by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. NOTES: The preliminary October 2022 and the revised September 2022 unemployment rates, labor force data and jobs estimates for Massachusetts will be released on Friday, November 18, 2022; local unemployment statistics will be released on Tuesday, November 22, 2022. Detailed labor market information is available at http://www.mass. gov/EconomicResearch. See the 2022 Media Advisory for complete list of release dates.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 4, 2022 Page 23 FBI Warns Public to Beware of Tech Support Scammers Targeting Financial Accounts Using Remote Desktop Software T he Boston Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is warning that as tech support fraud evolves, the number of people falling victim to the crime is on the rise, and so are financial losses. Investigators are seeing an emerging trend in which tech support scammers are convincing victims that their financial accounts have been compromised and their funds need to be moved so the fraudsters can gain control over the victims’ computers and finances. In tech support scams, fraudsters pose as customer or tech support representatives from reputable wellknown tech companies. They may call, email, or text their targets and offer to resolve such issues as a compromised email or bank account, a computer virus, or a software license renewal. Once they convince victims that their financial accounts have been compromised and their funds need to be moved, they gain control over the victims’ computers and ultimately their finances. Victims are often directed to wire or transfer their funds out of brokerage or bank accounts to cryptocurrency exchanges, or to transfer the contents of their crypto wallet to another wallet to “safeguard” the contents. Fraudsters will create fictitious support sites to entice crypto owners to contact them directly and convince them to divulge login information or surrender control of their crypto accounts. Scammers are also asking victims to install free, remote desktop software on their computers to allow them to monitor, manipulate, and perform actions within the victims’ computers such as opening virtual currency accounts to facilitate the liquidation of their genuine bank accounts. “Cybercriminals are constantly coming up with new ways to rip off unsuspecting consumers, and this latest tactic has resulted in staggering losses. In some cases, we’ve seen victims lose their entire life savings which is why we are urging everyone, especially our aging family members and friends, to heed this warning,” said Joseph R. Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division. “Anyone who is a victim of this type of intrusion should report the compromise to us to help prevent these predators from victimizing others, and potentially from re-victimizing you.” Legitimate customer and tech support representatives will never initiate unsolicited contact with customers. They will not demand immediate payment or request payment via cash, prepaid gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency either. According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Compliant Center (IC3), which provides the public with a means of reporting Internet-facilitated crimes, there has been a steady increase in losses by victims in a wide-variety of tech support scams in the last five years. Nationwide, in 2021, 23,903 people anyone about him because the hackers and scammers were all around her. Suggestions for Protection: Legitimate customer, security, or tech support companies will not initiate unsolicited contact with individuals. Ensure computer anti-virus, secureported losing more than $347 million due to tech support scams which is a 137% increase in losses from the previous year. Most victims, almost 60%, reported to be over 60 years old, and experienced 68% of the losses. Here in the Boston Division, which includes all of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, 809 victims reported losing more than $7.5 million which is a 49% jump from the previous year. Locally, 60% of victims reported to be over 60 years old and accounted for 77% of the losses. • 106 victims in Maine lost $673,339 • 521 victims in Massachusetts lost $5,386,594 • 117 victims in New Hampshire lost $568,394 • 65 victims in Rhode Island lost $915,714 The reported losses are most likely much higher because older Americans are less likely to report fraud due to the fact that they either don’t know how to report it, are embarrassed, or don’t know they have been scammed. Several incidents recently reported include: A couple from Maine lost $1.1 million after receiving a pop-up alert advising them their computer had been breached and there was an attempt to compromise their banking information. The couple was asked to call someone who was purportedly with Fidelity Investments and was told to download UltraViewer software on their computer so that “Microsoft” and “Fidelity” representatives could monitor for any additional fraudulent activity. The fraudsters convinced the couple to wire funds from their retirement account to Coinbase and told them to take out a home equity line of credit and wire those funds to Coinbase for “safekeeping” before the scammers eventually cut off all contact with them. A New Hampshire resident lost approximately $1 million after receiving a pop-up alert advising she had been “hacked.” After calling the tech support number, a man with a foreign accent advised her that several bank accounts had been compromised and child pornography was downloaded on her computer. The fraudster offered to “help,” and asked her to download remote desktop software. Over the next six months, the victim was told to buy tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of gift cards, scratch off the numbers, and relay that information to him so he could convert the money to bitcoin to protect her accounts. She was then asked to wire the remaining assets in her retirement account to her bank account so she could withdraw the cash and deposit it into various bitcoin machines. Rhode Island woman lost $200,000 after browsing online and receiving a pop-up alert that stated her iPad was compromised and she needed to call Apple support. She was instructed to download “AnyDesk,” a remote desktop application, and was then told her ID was used to purchase child pornography. The tech support rep transferred her to someone who was purportedly with Fidelity Investments to help her address the fraudulent charges. The person at “Fidelity” advised that child pornography was illegal, she should not disclose that it was found on her computer to anyone, and if she did not address it, it would be tied to her social security account. She was told by “Fidelity” they were going to cancel the charges and send her money to a dummy account to prevent additional fraud. She was told to make three separate wire transfers and the money would return to her within 48 hours. A Massachusetts woman lost approximately $200,000 after receiving a popup alert advising her that her computer had been “hacked.” After calling the number she was given, she was routed to the “fraud” department and was told money was taken from her bank account and it was enroute to a gambling facility in Europe. The “fraud” department asked her to contact her bank to transfer her money into “safe wallets” so the hackers could not access the remainder of her funds. Over the next few weeks, the “fraud” department representative via telephone calls and messages had her wire the money held in her bank, credit union, and retirement accounts, into accounts at other banks in other people’s names. The victim was advised to tell her bank that she knew the people she was transferring the money to, and the “fraud” department representative told her not to tell rity and malware protection is up to date and settings are enabled to reduce pop-ups. Be cautious of customer support numbers obtained via online searching. Phone numbers listed in a “sponsored” results section are likely boosted as a search of Search Engine Advertising. If a pop-up or error message appears with a phone number, don’t call the number. Error and warning messages never include phone numbers. Resist the pressure to act quickly. Criminals will urge the victim to act fast to protect their device or account. Do not give unknown, unverified persons remote access to devices or accounts. Do not download or visit a website that an unknown person may direct you to. Do not trust caller ID readings as criminals often spoof names and numbers to appear legitimate. Let unknown numbers go to voice mail and do not call unknown numbers back. Never trust any company-tech or otherwise-requesting personal or financial information. If you are a victim: Run up-to-date virus scan software to check for potentially malicious software installed by the scammers. Consider having your computer professionally cleaned. Contact your financial institutions immediately by using the number on the back of your bank card or by visiting the institution in person. Take steps to protect your identity and your accounts. Change all passwords if the scammer had access to your device. Expect additional attempts at contact. The scammers often share their victim database information. Keep all original documentation, e-mails, faxes, and logs of all communications. File a police report at your local police station. File a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at www. ic3.gov. If possible, include the following: Identifying information of the criminal and company, including web sites, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses or any numbers you may have called. Account names, phone numbers, and financial institutions receiving any funds (e.g., bank accounts, wire transfers, prepaid card payments, cryptocurrency wallets) even if the funds were not actually lost. Description of interaction with the criminal. The e-mail, website, or link that caused a pop-up or locked screen.

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 brieflength 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.
