Goldberg and U.S. Army veteran James Mooney. (Courtesy photo) Special to Th e Advocate I n a moving ceremony, Massachusetts State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg returned a long-lost Purple Heart to U.S. Army veteran James Mooney of Everett. The military medal, which is awarded for wounds sustained in combat, was discovered in a forgotten safety deposit box turned over to the Treasurer’s Unclaimed Property Division. “Returning this Purple Heart is about more than reuniting someone with a lost possession, it is about honoring the service and sacrifi ce of one of our nation’s heroes,” said Treasurer Goldberg. “A Purple Heart is an honor that represents courage, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to put other’s lives ahead of one’s own, all while protecting our country’s freedom. We are incredibly honored to be able to return this medal to Mr. Mooney.” Mr. Mooney served our country for one year and seven months, from 1968 to 1969, including over a year deployed in Vietnam. While in Vietnam, he operated large artillery guns in support of U.S. troops engaged in combat. During his service, he earned numerous distinguished combat medals and was recognized for his outstanding marksmanship, qualifying as both an Expert Marksman and Sharpshooter. His Purple Heart is one of six that have been found in unclaimed safety deposit boxes and are currently held by the Unclaimed Property Division. His medal is the second Purple Heart to be successfully returned through the division’s ongoing eff orts to reconnect veterans and their families with lost military honors. A third has been returned since. The Unclaimed Property Division frequently recovers items of great personal signifi cance, including military medals, family heirlooms and irreplaceable documents. When such items are found, the offi ce makes every effort to identify and reunite them with their rightful owners or surviving family members. PURPLE HEART | SEE PAGE 7

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 14, 2025 Page 5 Council welcomes mayor-elect; Planning Board addresses Master Plan T By Neil Zolot he City Council meeting on Monday, November 10, was short, at approximately half an hour. It opened with Ward 2 Councillor and Chair Stephanie Martins congratulating Councillors-elect, reelected Councillors and “last but not least,” Mayor-elect Robert Van Campen, which elicited loud applause. With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up and a new Mayor entering offi ce in January, agendas are liable to be “light.” Agenda items other than appointments or license renewals were tabled. The Planning Board started the process of applying the Master Plan to 52 Beacham St. within the Docklands Innovation District owned by The Davis Companies and totaling 106.21 acres of land and 5.04 million square feet of development. Mixed uses of residential, manufacturing, industrial, lab/offi ce, and research and development are likely amid 10,000 linear square feet of new roads and infrastructure and over 15 acres of open space and public parks. Director of Planning and Development Matt Lattanzi said discussion will be about “the land use elements and the proposed amendments to the Design Regulations for the Master Plan proposal. Our Peer Reviewers — namely, our engineering, civil, and traffi c peer reviewers — are still waiting on some information from The Davis Companies before they are able to produce a fi nal peer review report.” It has nothing to do with the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) proposed by Jupiter, which, although slated to be located on Davis land, is not a consideration in the Master Plan, as BESS sites are exempt from local approvals. The Docklands Innovation District is in the area south of Revere Beach Parkway/Route 16 and east of Lower Broadway. The Commercial Triangle Economic Development District runs along Revere Beach Parkway, with the Docklands District south of it along the Mystic River and the Lower Broadway Economic Development District to the west on Lower Broadway between Sweetser Circle and the Mystic River. The planned Sofi a apartment building and the proposed soccer stadium, as well as the battery storage facility, will all be in the general area and have been described as transformative for the city by several parties. During the March 24 City Council meeting, representatives of The Davis Companies and Speck Dempsey planners displayed artist conceptions of what the Docklands Innovations District off Revere Beach Parkway might look like, but some Councillors were skeptical, particularly Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Matewsky, in whose district the area is located. At the time, Davis Chief Development Offi cer Mike Cantalupa and Planner Jeff Speck of Speck Dempsey brought up the possibility of 1,000-3,000-unit apartment buildings and open space with access to the waterfront as an important feature of a new neighborhood in the area, which Speck characterized as “public space beyond the streets where people can come together that form a heart for the community and allow social life to grow.” On Monday night, Lattanzi acknowledged “there will be a community down there,” with the Master Plan setting up the infrastructure for it. “It will set parameters for projects’ blank slate to build around,” he explained.” There’ll be building on land that hasn’t had this use before. The framework will help us determine best uses and avoid inappropriate ones and install infrastructure, so we don’t have to rip up streets all the time.” It’s the opposite of development on existing streets and over infrastructure laid out decades or centuries ago. He thinks it’s important for people to know “once we approve the Master Plan, not a single building is approved. Anyone will still have to go through site plan reviews like every other project.” “This is going to be a signifi cant and pretty involved process given the size and scope of things, with diff erent considerations than a single project,” Planning Board member James Tarr added. “It will be longer than it would be for a single development to align with a comprehensive vision of what we want to do.” Everett to host Community Thanksgiving Dinner Nov. 24 All are welcome to enjoy a free meal with fi rst responders, City staff and neighbors Special to Th e Advocate M ayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce that the City of Everett, in collaboration with the Everett Fire Department, Everett Firefi ghters Union Local 143, Everett Police Department, Everett Police Superior Offi cers Union, Fraternal Order of Police Everett, MA Lodge 40 and Zion Church Ministries, will host the Community Thanksgiving Dinner on Monday, Nov. 24, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Edward G.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 14, 2025 Page 9 PROTECTING | FROM PAGE 7 Current Massachusetts law imposes heightened penalties on individuals for assault and battery against public employees: police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel and other government workers. This bill adds public transit workers to that list. The bill also clarifies and broadens the definition of assault by specifically recognizing that projecting bodily fluids, such as spitting or throwing substances like urine, constitutes assault against a public worker. Offenders would face a sentence ranging from a minimum of 90 days to 2.5 years in a house of correction and a fine between $500 and $5,000 or both. “I’m so grateful to the Boston Carmen’s Union Local 589 for their hard work on this legislation and the brave workers who have spoken about their struggles,” said McGonagle. “I also would like to thank Speaker Mariano, Chairman Michael Day and both their offices for helping push this issue forward.

Page 14 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 14, 2025 Everett football sees its long personal winning streak vs. Cambridge come to an end in a high scoring, heartbreaking way Tide looks to bounce back tonight (Nov. 14) at home against Lawrence, starting at 6 p.m. By Joe McConnell T he last time the Cambridge Rindge & Latin football team (5-4) defeated Everett was way back in 2001, but that losing streak was broken last Friday night in a non-playoff Division 1 game at Russell Field in Cambridge, 47-46. It took, however, practically the entire game to change the narrative. With 40 seconds left on the clock, the Falcons successfully scored the game-winning points on a two-point conversion by running back Jamai Lewis. Lewis was definitely the home team’s star of the game with 164 rushing yards and three touchdowns. He also had seven tackles on defense, plus a blocked punt. For Everett, it was just another frustrating loss. After winning their first two games of the year against Medford (347) and Lynn Classical (42-6), this year’s Tide team, made up of mostly young underclassmen, dropped its next six games, including last Friday night’s heartbreaker on the road. off back 80 yards for another six points. His classmate Steven ThomTide running back Jamauri Dulin carries the ball in recent action against Lynn English. Dulin scored four of the team’s five rushing touchdowns against Cambridge. (Advocate photo by Emily Harney) Coach Rob DiLoreto sees this young group developing into solid varsity players. “I believe our younger players are executing more confidently lately,” he said. “We have been able to run the ball well, which is a credit to our offensive line and the hardnosed running of our running backs and quarterback.” Junior quarterback Tyler Freni led the way on the ground against Cambridge with 19 carries for 171 yards and one touchdown. He also completed one pass for 20 yards. Sophomore Valdemyr Fedna was credited with one completion for 17 yards. Junior Jamauri Dulin, however, was Everett’s star of the show after scoring four of the team’s five rushing touchdowns, while also carrying the ball 23 carries for 143 yards. Dulin also caught two passes for 37 yards and ran a kickas accounted for 25 yards on eight carries, and the offense altogether ran the ball 51 times in the game for 336 yards to go along with the aforementioned five rushing touchdowns. DiLoreto once again credits the offensive line for the potent attack. “Our entire offensive line opened up gaping holes during the entire game, and Tyler Freni, Jamauri Dulin and Steven Thomas all ran well, because of them,” he said. Junior defensive backs Chance Barreto and Jeremiah Joseph each intercepted one pass to thwart a couple of Cambridge offensive drives. The Lawrence Lancers bring their spread offense to Everett Memorial Stadium Friday night (Nov. 14) to take on the Crimson Tide in another Division 1 non-playoff game at 6 p.m. “(Lawrence) likes to run a no huddle, up tempo offense,” said DiLoreto, “and overall, they play a physical game out of the Merrimack Valley Conference.” Everett’s Lucas Nunez chosen GBL cross-country all-star for second straight year after finishing fourth in league meet By Joe McConnell A fter winning their first four meets of the season, the Everett High School boys’ cross-country team dropped its final two Greater Boston League (GBL) encounters against Somerville (20-40) at 7-Acres on Oct. 15 and Lynn Classical (25-30) on the road around the Classical campus on Oct. 22. But the Tide boys’ recovered somewhat in the annual GBL Meet at Medford’s MacDonald Park on Oct. 29, where they finished fourth overall. This meet brings all of the GBL schools together in one place every year to determine among other things the all-star teams over the 5,000-meter Medford course. “We had a good showing at the GBL championships,” said coach Brendan Hahesy. “Lucas Nunez (17:37) once again led the way for us with a fourthplace finish, and by finishing fourth, Lucas earned his second consecutive GBL all-star (selection). It was a nice way to conclude a highly successful (cross-country) running career in the Greater Boston League that included many individual wins. Lucas is definitely the fastest runner that I have ever coached, and he’s also an outstanding leader and teammate.” On the girls’ side, Shashi Pokhrel (26:50) placed 25th among her GBL varsity counterparts, while Nathalia Cesario (30:01) ended up 31st Christopher Portillo (20:16, 27th Jeremy Whitlow (19:35, 19th ), Carlos Pagan (20:32, 31st 34th Dominico Delle Rose (21:01, 33rd overall. ), ), ), Wilmer Fuentes (21:01, 37th ) followed Nunez across the finish line in the GBL boys’ varsity meet. Hahesy also entered a bunch of runners to participate in the JV Meet. It was a shorter race that stretched over 1.75-miles, which helped the coach get a look into the future.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 14, 2025 Page 15 OBITUARIES John D. “Jack” Darling A lifelong Everett resident, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on November 9. Jack, as he was known to family and friends, was 86 years old. Jack is predeceased by his mother, Marguerite (Shaw) Darling and his adored wife Barbara (Petrone) Darling, with whom he shared 58 years of marriage. Jack and Barbara were inseparable and shared an incredible love story of devotion and resiliency. Her recent passing caused them to briefly be apart but they are now reunited in eternity. Jack is survived by his brother, Laurence (Larry) Darling of Reading and his brother-inlaw, Patrick (Rick) Petrone of Everett and his lifelong partner, Judith Masucci of Winthrop. Jack is the cherished father of JoAnne Crafts and her husband Jim of Everett, Kim Dell Isola and her husband Jay of Lynnfield and Jay Darling and his wife Kim of Peabody. He is “Pa” to seven adoring grandchildren; Jake, Alex, Molly, Olivia, Emma, Jack and Joshua. After growing up in Everett and graduating Everett High School in 1957, Jack embarked on a varied career path with jobs including Kappy’s, Shell Oil, Polaroid Corporation, Deputy Tax Collector’s Office and his final and favorite job as a Court Officer for the Suffolk County Courthouse. He truly was a “Jack of all trades” and often worked multiple jobs to provide the best life possible for his family. He and Barbara were married in 1966 and bought a 2 family house in Everett where Barbara’s parents and brother followed the old Italian tradition of moving in below them, creating a loud and bustling household that was bursting at the seams with love. Their home was always filled with extended family and friends and was such a warm, welcoming place for all. Jack was a true character; an engaging personality with a quick, sarcastic wit, a great sense of humor and stories galore. He lit up every room he entered and his positivity was contagious. Jack was a people person and enjoyed many close, lifelong friendships. It would be difficult to find anyone within a 20 mile radius of Everett who didn’t know Jack or that Jack didn’t know, himself. He was always telling a joke, sharing a story or lovingly teasing someone. When somebody needed help, Jack was the guy they would turn to, and he always delivered. His generosity was limitless and he found great joy in helping others. He loved good food, traveling to Las Vegas with Barbara, cruising and Disney trips with his children and grandchildren, napping in his recliner, scratch tickets, and reading his daily newspapers from cover to cover. He was an unassuming man who was able to enjoy and appreciate the simple pleasures of life. Jack’s family was his sole purpose in life and his greatest, proudest achievement. He would do absolutely anything for them, and he always did. If you had the pleasure of being in Jack’s presence, you would no doubt be subjected to endless reminders of all the wonderful accomplishments and attributes of his children and grandchildren. He was incredibly proud of the family he and Barbara created and he always made them feel so cherished and adored. Jack will be dearly missed but his memory will live on in the many hearts of those he so deeply touched.

The Senate has already approved a diff erent version of the measure, and the House version now goes to the Senate for consideration. Changes include replacing “handType of Person Needed: * Are you an experienced/willing to learn, motivated person looking for a shop where your skills can be valued?

Jay Livingstone (D-Boston), House Chair of the Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities. “As legislators, it is our job to help make sure that people with intellectual or developmental disabilities feel included, accepted and embraced for who they are, and this is an important step in doing so.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes HOME CARE (H 4706) House 153-1, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would establish a licensure process for home care agencies that supporters say will ensure that consumers receive quality non-medical services, and that home care workers are protected. The Executive Offi ce of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) would implement the licensure process and have the authority to approve licenses, survey and investigate home care agencies and impose fi nes. The measure also would require EOHHS to conduct a suitability review for all licensure applicants, including for all individuals with at least a 5 percent ownership interest in the agency; review applicants to ensure that they have suffi cient fi - nancial capacity to provide a minimum standard of care; and require EOHHS to publish a list of all licensed home care agencies on its website. Other provisions require minimum standards for home care workers by mandating several background screening checks on them; training and competency requirements for home care workers including confi dentiality and privacy rights of home care consumers; infection control and communicable diseases; handling of emergencies, including safety and falls prevention; identifying and reporting suspected abuse, neglect or theft; and understanding Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, including person-centered care, activities of daily living, safety and dementia-related behaviors and communication. The legislation implements workforce protections for employees including establishing procedures to ensure home care workers have safe working conditions, adequate training and a process for submitting complaints; requiring licensed home care agencies to have coverage for worker’s compensation and liability insurance; creation of the Home Care Worker and Consumer Abuse Stakeholder Advisory Committee to study and make recommendations on standards and procedures for addressing abusive treatment, including physical, verbal, mental abuse and bullying of home care workers, personal care assistants, home care consumers and family members; and informing home care workers of potentially unsafe working environments. “This legislation could not have been passed at a more critical time,” said Rep. Tom Stanley (D-Waltham), House Chair of the Committee on Aging and Independence. “With our aging population expected to grow exponentially in the coming years and the number of family caregivers shrinking, the demand for home care will subsequently increase. It is critical for the commonwealth to have the proper standards and protections in place for home care agencies to ensure consumers receive quality care and our dedicated home care workers are properly trained and supported in the fi eld.” “With persistent staffi ng shortages and projections of growing need, urgent legislative action is needed to establish improved oversight over home care agency employers, better prepare to meet future care demands and to reduce the far-too-common abuse and workplace bullying of home care workers and/or their consumer clients,” said Cari Medina, Executive Vice President of 1199SEIU, the union which represents more than 60,000 home care worker members. “[We] strongly support this bill to establish a new state process for the licensure of Massachusetts home care agencies, to implement improved operational standards for these agencies and to direct the adoption of new minimum standards and operational procedures for addressing abusive treatment and bullying of home care workers and/or their consumers.” Betsey Crimmins, Executive Director of Mass Aging Access, said that Mass Aging Access and its statewide network of 24 Aging Services Access Points strongly support the bill. “Massachusetts does not license non-medical home care services, even though these services are essential to helping older adults and people with disabilities live safely and independently in their own homes, resulting in better health outcomes and an improved quality of life,” said Crimmins. “The passage of [this legislation] will fi ll longstanding gaps in the commonwealth’s current system, bring Massachusetts in line with the majority of other states and strengthen our long-term services and supports network. “ Rep. John Gaskey (R-Carver), the only representative to vote against the bill, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him why he opposed the measure. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes MORE SUPPORT FOR MILITARY FAMILIES (S 2709) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that supporters say would provide enhanced safety, stability and educational opportunities for military families, and position the Bay State for greater federal defense investment and economic growth around its six military bases. The bill would guarantee that a child of a military family would retain a seat in the classroom at their current school in Massachusetts, even if their parent or guardian is temporarily transferred elsewhere on offi cial orders. If a military family moves permanently and arrives in a Massachusetts community, the bill also requires a timely and seamless transition for students who receive special education services. Other provisions allow certain information from the military to be admissible as evidence in state courts for people seeking temporary domestic violence restraining orders; allow for federal judges to transfer juvenile cases to Massachusetts courts for off enses that occur on military bases; and direct National Guard leadership to track and report suicide data among veterans of the Massachusetts National Guard. Sen. John Velis (D-Westfi eld), Senate Chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Aff airs, said the bill bolsters the way that Massachusetts cares for its military families and in turn helps improve our Department of Defense scorecard to maintain critical federal military investments in our state. “As we approach Veterans Day, I am incredibly proud to be a part of a legislative body that prioritizes not only our veterans and servicemembers but also our military families as well,” said Velis. “At the end of the day, my focus as Chairman of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Aff airs continues to be on ensuring that our commonwealth is not only the very best state for a veteran to call home, but also a welcoming and supportive home for our active-duty service members and BEACON | SEE PAGE 17

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 14, 2025 Page 17 BEACON | FROM PAGE 16 their families.” “I’m proud that Massachusetts continues to seek out ways to support our active military members and veterans and their families,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “In advance of Veterans Day, it was important that the Senate reinforce our commitment to meeting veterans, active military members and their families where they are and provide support to those who have served and are serving our nation.” “Military families very often face difficult situations when parents are called to duty, never knowing when or where their service to our country will take them,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “This bill will help create a more stable environment for military serving families by ensuring continuous education and a smooth transition for special education services when changing school districts.” “I have seen firsthand the power of legislation that seeks to improve the lives of our military and military-connected families,” said Jeffrey Chin, Executive Director of Blue Star Families of New England. “[The bill] will provide our military families a vital component that has all too often been missing in their ability to properly provide educational resources for their children. These families are often required to move to various duty stations as part of their duty and lifestyle, and this legislation will allow our military families to access the same choices that non-military families have available to them with regard to schools and access to appropriate educational resources for their children.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes DUTIES OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL (S 2675) Senate 38-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that supporters say would clarify the duties of the state’s Adjutant General. The measure provides that the Adjutant General, Massachusetts’ highest-ranking military office, has command of all troops in the state National Guard while carrying out the orders of the governor. The bill also brings state laws about the National Guard chain of command into line with the model used by the vast majority of other states. “The legislation currently before us … seeks to make a technical change to streamline our National Guard’s chain of command structure and bring Massachusetts in line with the vast majority of our sister states,” said Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield). “As currently written, [Massachusetts law] states that the Adjutant General shall not personally excercise command of troops.” Velis continued, “This legislation clarifies that the Adjutant General, in carrying out the policies and orders of the governor, has command of all Massachusetts National Guard troops -- ensuring that the leadership of the Guard is unified and capable of implementing directives with precision. Currently, the Adjutant General lacks the clear statutory authority to personally command our troops during state missions. This gap can cause confusion in command structure and limits the Adjutant General from enforcing the Massachusetts code of military justice.” “It [is] important to make a technical clarification to the command structure of the Massachusetts National Guard that brings us in line with most other states,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes GUARD MEMBERS MUST FOLLOW ONLY LAWFUL ORDERS (S 2675) Senate 38-0, approved an amendment that would require that Massachusetts National Guard service members undergo training on their obligation to follow only lawful orders and that they receive guidance on how to respond to orders that violate Americans’ constitutional or statutory rights. “National Guard troops across the country are being asked to violate the sovereignty of other states and the constitutional rights of ordinary Americans by a president who wants to use them like pawns in his game of intimidation,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Mike Moore (D-Millbury). “This amendment is simple. By creating a comprehensive training curriculum for servicemembers, Massachusetts is empowering our National Guard with the knowledge they need to determine, in the event that they are federalized, whether the orders they receive are lawful. The rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution are non-negotiable – the commonwealth of Massachusetts will not let our Guard be illegally used against its own people.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL GRADUATE STUDENTS AND FAMNovember 14, 2025 ILY LEAVE AND UNEMPLOYMENT (S 747) - The Financial Services Committee held a hearing on a measure that would strike the exclusion of graduate student workers from the definition of “employee” in order to allow for graduate student workers to have access to paid family and medical leave and unemployment insurance.

Page 18 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 14, 2025 BEACON | FROM PAGE 17 “Graduate students are workers, plain and simple, oftentimes with families, mortgage and the same health, economic and life challenges that most working people face,” said sponsor Sen. Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough). “They put in long hours and perform critical work. Despite the fact that they are working for educational institutions with abundant endowments, many don’t have the same paid family and medical leave and unemployment insurance benefits that are afforded other hard-working people in the commonwealth. This bill would rightfully close that loophole and allow them the same rights as everyone else.” LIFE INSURANCE (S 760) – Another bill heard by the Financial Services Committee would allow the holder of a life insurance policy to update their beneficiaries using an online tool if one is provided by the life insurance company, as long as the company takes reasonable steps to verify that the identity of the requester matches the holder of the policy. This bill would abolish a current law that requires all beneficiary changes to be made in person, with a “wet” signature and witness present. “Technology has significantly developed since life insurance beneficiary practices were set in the commonwealth,” said sponsor Sen. Barry Finegold (D-Andover). “Many life insurance companies are now able to accept requests to change designated beneficiaries under life or endowment insurance policies, and this bill brings our legislation up to speed with the industry. While we move toward more technologically advanced processes, we can maintain safety and identity verification in similarly advanced ways. This bill will help make this process more convenient and time-efficient for all parties.” DECEASED ANIMALS ON STATE HIGHWAYS (H 3678) – The Transportation Committee held a hearing on a proposal that would require any State Department of Transportation highway employees who find deceased dogs or cats with identification, to either attempt to directly contact the owner or to notify local animal control officers or the police department. “When a pet is hit on a highway and has a collar or microchip, the family should be notified,” said sponsor Rep. Richard Haggerty (D-Woburn). “Right now, there’s no requirement for that to happen, leaving families wondering what happened to their beloved pets. This bill would give them answers and closure.” BILL RUSSELL AND BOB COUSY HIGHWAY (H 3727) – Legislation that would name the portion of the Massachusetts Turnpike between Boston and Worcester, “The Bill Russell and Bob Cousy Highway,” was also before the Transportation Committee. “I believe we should pay homage to celebrated Boston Celtics teammates and NBA champions, Bob Cousy and the late Bill Russell, who were not only exceptional athletes who brought many championships home to Boston, but who were also two great pillars of our community here in the commonwealth,” said sponsor Rep. David Linsky (D-Natick). Linsky continued, “Bill Russell, as the first Black coach in the NBA, was a frequent target of racially motivated harassment and abuse. Even as he received death threats and hate crimes from his own fan base, he courageously continued to pioneer player activism. Russell marched alongside civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Medgar Evans, and continued to fight for civil rights his entire life. Bob Cousy was also much more than a basketball player. He played a tremendous role in organizing the first player’s union in the NBA which helped kickstart a new era of player empowerment in sports. Russell and Cousy both risked their careers and their lives to fight for what they believed in, and we should continue to honor them for their incredible work for our community.” PROHIBIT RECORDING OR BROADCASTING WHILE DRIVING (S 2349) – The Transportation Committee’s agenda also included a bill, known as Charlie’s Law, which would prohibit anyone from video recording or broadcasting live while driving a vehicle. “I filed this legislation to honor my constituent, Charlie Braun of Northampton - a beloved partner, father, grandfather and community member - who was struck and killed by a motor vehicle while riding his bicycle,” said sponsor Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton). “Reports indicate that the driver of the vehicle was engaged in a FaceTime conversation while driving. Charlie’s tragic death underscored a gap that remains in our distracted driving laws, one that this bill seeks to close.” Comerford continued, “In recent years, there has been a rapid rise in what’s known as ‘vlogging,’ or video recording or live broadcasting, while behind the wheel. A 2021 report from State Farm’s Auto Insurance Research Department found that between 2015 and 2020, the number of drivers recording videos while driving more than doubled, from 10 percent to nearly one in four. The data are particularly troubling among younger drivers: 44 percent of drivers aged 18 to 29 and 37 percent of those aged 30 to 39, reported recording videos while driving. Other states, including Georgia, Arizona, Tennessee and Utah, have taken action to explicitly prohibit this behavior. Massachusetts should do the same.” BREASTFEEDING AND JURY DUTY (H 2021) – The Judiciary Committee held a hearing on legislation that would exempt breastfeeding mothers from jury duty. Supporters said that current law only allows breastfeeding mothers to delay jury duty up to one year with a medical exemption. “Jury duty is a civic responsibility that is a crucial component of our justice system and democracy,” said sponsor Rep. Steven Ultrino (D-Malden). “But breastfeeding parents should not have to jump through excessive administrative hoops simply to request an exemption or postponement. Currently, breastfeeding parents are not guaranteed opportunity for postponement or a hardship transfer to a more convenient location to complete their juror service. This bill will ensure that our court system becomes more family-friendly and does not pose an undue burden on new parents and their infants.” PROHIBIT REVOCATION OF, DENIAL OF OR REFUSAL TO RENEW A STATE-ISSUED PROFESSIONAL LICENSE AS A RESULT OF STUDENT LOAN PAYMENT DELINQUENCY (S 2139) – The State Administration and Regulatory Oversight Committee’s hearing included a proposed measure that would repeal the state’s current law that allows for professional licenses to be revoked from, denied to or refused to be renewed for individuals due to a delinquent student loan. Under the terms of the proposed measure, with the exception of the Division of Banks, no state board of registration or agency would be permitted to revoke, deny or refuse to renew any professional license. Under current state law, a borrower’s state-issued professional license cannot be revoked from, denied to or refuse to be renewed for only a borrower who is in default on an education loan. It does not exempt students who are delinquent but have not yet defaulted. Sole Benefit Trusts hese types of Trusts are typically utilized when a family member is going into a nursing home and there has been no advanced planning. An example would be if you owned your own home and had not placed it into an irrevocable Trust. Furthermore, you need to be admitted into a nursing home and have a disabled child, disabled grandchild or some other disabled individual that you would like to leave the house to. If you transferred your home T to this type of trust, you would still be able to qualify for MassHealth benefits. The transfer would not be subject to the five year look-back period due to this Trust solely benefitting the disabled child, grandchild or other disabled individual. Also, upon your death after MassHealth having paid for most of your nursing home level care, there would be no payback requirement to MassHealth from the assets in the Trust. The assets would be protected for the disabled beneficiary. The assets in this Trust must only benefit the disabled beneficiary and no one else. The Trust will not interfere with any governmental benefits the disabled individual may already be receiving. However, the terms of the Trust must provide for repayment of those benefits upon the death of the disabled beneficiary. If such a provision does not exist in the Trust, the Settlor of the Trust (for example, the parent) will not qualify for MassHealth benefits. If there are assets remaining in the Trust upon the death of the disabled child and upon repayment of all of the governmental benefits, distributions of those remaining assets can be made to family members. Transfers made to such a Trust would be considered a completed gift. There is no gift tax in Massachusetts and the federal exemption will be $15million per individual as of January 1, 2026. Therefore, even though technically a gift tax return would be required to be filed, no gift tax would have to be paid. If there are income producing assets in this type of Trust, the Trust would have to file for a new federal identification number and would have to file a Trust income tax return using Form 1041. If the Trustee were to make distributions of income to the disabled beneficiary, the Trustee would claim a distribution deduction on the tax return by issuing a Schedule K-1 form to the disabled beneficiary. The disabled beneficiary would then report the taxable income on his or her individual income tax return. Joseph D. Cataldo is an estate planning/elder law attorney, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner, AICPA Personal Financial Specialist and holds a masters degree in taxation. Many professionals including electricians, plumbers, accountants, real estate appraisers, real estate brokers and massage therapists are required to be licensed by the state. “This is a commonsense bill that would extend those unemployment protections to individuals who are behind on their student loan payments,” said sponsor Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “It ensures they don’t fall further behind, or risk defaulting, if their professional license is at risk of being withheld.” BEACON | SEE PAGE 19

Under current law, any municipality seeking to adopt ranked choice voting for local elections must go through this lengthy and uncertain process. The bill will empower communities to adopt ranked choice voting without having to do so. Ranked choice voting is a system under which voters rank one or more candidates in order of preference. If one candidate receives more than 50 percent of the first-place votes, that candidate would be declared the winner and no other rounds would be necessary. If no candidate receives a majority of first-place votes, the candidate that receives the least number of first-choice votes is eliminated. The second choice of the voters who supported the eliminated candidate now becomes their first choice and is added to the totals of the remaining candidates. The same process is repeated, if necessary, until a candidate is the first choice of a majority of voters. “Ranked choice voting empowers voters and enhances ballot access, improving representative democracy,” said sponsor Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham). “It supports positive campaigns and bolsters voters’ confidence in our electoral system. Massachusetts voters understand and support ranked choice voting, especially for their local elections. I’m proud to sponsor the bill to clear the red tape preventing municipalities from implementing the election system that voters want for their communities.” QUOTABLE QUOTES – To no one’s surprise, Gov. Maura Healey and President Donald Trump had SELLER1 Dasilva, Octavio Dos Reis, Marines F Stour, Abdellah Shen, Liyang Zhou, Jeffrey Sharon A Amato Lt Ho, Banku sharply different views of last week’s elections. Here are some of their post-election quotes. “[The elections were] a resounding rejection of Donald Trump.” — Gov. Healey. “The results yesterday, across the board — it’s a referendum on Donald Trump. People are not happy with how he’s handling the economy. They’re not happy about the fact that under his presidency, prices continue to go up. People struggle with affordability all around this country, and he hasn’t delivered on what he promised to and that’s what last night was about.” — Gov. Healey. “It’s pretty clear what’s happening. [Donald Trump], your boss, your leader-in-chief, is taking you all down … and you got midterms next year. Read the room. This isn’t working for peoplez.” — Gov. Healey. “After last night’s results, the decision facing all Americans could not be more clear. We have a choice between communism and common sense.” — President Trump. “If you want to see what Congressional Democrats wish to do to America, just look at the result of yesterday’s election in New York, where their party installed a communist as the mayor of the largest city in the nation.” — President Trump. “Last night I think, if you read the pollsters — the shutdown was a big factor for Republicans. They say that I wasn’t on the ballot was the biggest factor.” — President Trump. 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, constituShen, Yang Shen, Ming Mclaughlin, David Ho, Mary ent 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 and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.
