In an announcement released this week by Van Campen, members of the Transition Team include Christopher Connolly, Van Campern’s campaign manager, who will serve as chair; State Senator Sal DiDomenico, who will serve in an ex-offi cio or “from the offi ce” capacity based on his position; Ward 2 Councillor and City Council President Stephanie Martins; Councillor-at-Large Stephanie Smith; Ward 5 School Committee Member Marcony Almeida Barros; Somerville Finance Director Edward Bean; Chelsea City Manager Fidel Maltez; Oliveira’s restaurant proprietor Wilton Rangle and local community activist Jocelyn Solis. The transition process will be facilitated by the Edward J. Collins, Jr. Center for Public Management at UMass Boston. “I am honored to bring together a team that refl ects the best of our community,” Van Campen said. “These distinguished individuals bring experience, vision and a shared commitment to building a stronger and more inclusive future for our community.” City Hall employees serve at the will of the mayor; be they close political appointees or his personal staff, such as a Chief of Staff or various department heads who have professional credentials to work there. Given DeMaria has been mayor for 18 years, the situation is unfamiliar to most. Employees that work for the City Council, such as aides Michael Mangan and David Flood, are not aff ected. City Clerk Sergio Cornelio is also not an appointee of the mayor and is unaff ected. “The Transition Team will receive presentations from several of the major operating departments, fi nancial offi cials as well as the School Department,” Stephen McGoldrick of the Collins Center said. “At the direction of the mayor-elect, this process is intended to inform the new Administration of the opportunities and challenges currently facing each city department.” The Transition Team will submit a comprehensive report to Van Campen on or before December 31. “I am eager to receive this report which will help me begin my tenure in offi ce with focus, momentum and transparency,” he said. DeMaria said he has been meeting with Van Campen related to the transition and is “committed to ensuring the transition between administrations goes as smoothly as possible in the best interests of the City.” Rumors have been circulating about who may fill certain positions, with Smith being mentioned as the Chief Financial Offi cer (CFO); Martins, Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Director; and Councillor-at-Large Guerline Alcy Jabouin as 311 constituent service line director. The rumors are not illogical. Smith has a professional background in fi nance and Alcy Jabouin worked in City Hall on Constituent Services and with 311 before becoming a City Councillor and has worked with the Everett Haitian Community Center.

Page 6 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 21, 2025 Clean Up Everett launches ‘Keep Massachusetts Beautiful’ chapter T Special to The Advocate ake a quick peek at any roadside, sidewalk, park or public space in Everett, and chances are that you will see something that doesn’t belong there: litter. Cigarette butts, empty alcohol bottles, water bottles and plastic wrappers have become a bleak part of our landscape. A year ago marked a tipping point — that’s when Everett residents began taking things into their own hands. Clean Up Everett began with resident Stephanie McColaugh picking up trash every day when she walked her dog, began advocating for change at City Council meetings and started garnering attention on social media. With the support of Councillor-at-Large Katy Rogers, a group of residents, ever increasing in quantity and commitment, began organizing litter cleanups to tackle the issue. “We have steadily grown as a grassroots community organization, dedicated to making Everett a cleaner, safer, and more beautiful place to live,” said McColaugh. “We all deserve that. Littering isn’t just depressing to look at, it is bad for the environment, causes flooding when it clogs our stormwater systems and is damaging to local economies.” Beyond regular litter cleanups, community education and citywide investment is high on the group’s priority list. Clean Up Everett is working to develop an anti-littering curriculum in collaboration with the Rec Center and local public schools. They are also keeping up the pressure campaign for the city to address the root cause of the issue, advocating for multilingual antilittering signs, more (covered) trash barrels, anti-littering enforcement and leveraging the city’s social media platforms to educate the public. “Volunteers have been purchasing cleanup supplies with our personal money and picking up after others with our free time,” said McColaugh. “We need the city to meet us halfway. DPW has been helpful in disposing of the litter we collect, but ultimately the resolution of this issue requires more resources.” Volunteers have stated the following: “My involvement with Clean Toys! $599.95 Collectibles! $1,195.95 Lawrence A.

I have never lived somewhere with such a bad littering problem and I am an environmental conservation and sustainability professional, so I notice these things. In an effort to feel less hopeless about the situation, I joined Clean Up Everett, and am now feeling happy to share space with people who also have a passion for planetary protection and a belief that everyone deserves safe, clean, biodiverse outdoor spaces to enjoy. I’m excited to work alongside our community to tackle litter, promote zero-waste habits, and advocate for more sustainable city policies, especially those that prioritize green space and parks. My hope is that Everett invests far more money and energy in creating parks, accessible natural areas, and strong environmental protections, becoming a model for community-driven sustainability in Massachusetts.”—Rachel Martinez “I got involved in Clean Up Everett because Everett is where I grew up. It will always be my hometown. Whenever opportunity comes around, I am always willing to help out. It is a great feeling when people work together to make a place safer and cleaner to live in. Everett has always had (Courtesy photos) great pride and we will continue to make it a better place to live.”— Philip Spaulding Clean Up Everett recently took the additional step of becoming a local chapter of the statewide nonprofit Keep Massachusetts Beautiful (KMB). KMB supports 42 local chapters across the state, all of which share a common goal of making their communities cleaner, greener places to live, work and play. Clean Up Everett is dedicated to making Everett the best place it can be and is committed to collaborating with municipal leaders, community groups, the Department of Public Works and local businesses. They recently completed a cleanup event at the Everett Home Depot that drew over 20 volunteers. They welcome residents who would like to get involved, build community and attend cleanup events.

In Smith’s and Alcy Jabouin’s cases, the seats would go to the runners-up in the recent election for Councillor-at-Large, if they have received 20% of the vote. Unsuccessful City Council at-Large candidates were incumbent John Hanlon with 2,216 votes, which totaled only 5.77%, followed by Tina Olivieri with 1,941 votes (5%), Jean Daniel with 1,823 voters (4.75%) and Matthew Costello with 1,680 (4.4%).

Something similar happened last year when School Committee member-at-Large Samantha Lambert resigned. Her seat was offered to the highest runner-up: Cynthia Sarnie. When she declined to serve, it was offered to the next highest vote-getter, Kristin Bairos, who accepted and is now on the Committee. A less dramatic transition involves Wayne Matewsky becoming a Councillor-at-Large after hailing served as Ward 1 Councillor. His responsibilities will broaden to encompass the entire city, although he said he listened to comments and complaints from rodents all over the city as a Ward Councillor, in part because he had been a Councillor-at-Large and State Representative before his terms as Ward 1 Councillor. He called the change an “upgrade” and plans to work with new Ward 1 Councillor Michele Capone on issues affecting the Ward, as well as Van Campen on various issues. In the small world of Everett politics, Matewsky was elected as State Representative in 2013 in a Special Election to fill out the term previously held by Steven “Stat” Smith, father of Stephanie Smith. Stat resigned after pleading guilty in a voter fraud case. In 2014 Joe McGonagle defeated Matewsky for the state representative seat, which prompted Matewsky to run for City Council and win in 2015. Health issues led to a resignation, but a recovery led to him running for the Ward 1 seat when Capone gave up the seat to run for Mayor in 2021. He lost, but Matewsky won.

Supported by funding from MassHousing, the project is a collaboration between the art and advocacy programs at 2Life. Over 70 residents participated in a series of twopart workshops taking place at every campus. In the first session, residents created their own individual art pieces. In the second session, residents reflected on their art, on what it means to be a senior and on what they want people to know about aging. Finally, they wrote reminders for elected officials, such as: · “Seniors are creative, active people who are engaged in their communities and want to make it a better place for people of all ages.” · “Seniors are a valuable resource for younger generations.” · “Seniors are an important part of communities. They bring wisdom, and they balance the good and bad of life daily.”

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 21, 2025 Page 11 Everett Crimson Tide volleyball captain Nicole Damaceno named GBL All-Star ac By Joe McConnell T he Everett High School volleyball team defeated Chelsea, Lynn English and Medford this fall to account for its three victories. They had other matches that were close calls like the 3-2 loss to non-league Saugus on Oct. 17. Coach Mike Fineran sees his program once again getting better and expects much more improved results come next year. But before putting a wrap on this season, Fineran announced that Nicole Damaceno was named a GBL all-star after leading this young team as its captain on and off the court this fall. Fineran says of Nicole: “It is a well-deserved honor for our captain, who appeared in every set for us this season. Over the last three years, she played in 57 varsity matches, including one state tournament appearance.” The Everett coach then went Nicole Damaceno GBL All-Star on to say that Damaceno led the team in total serves and in serve percentage this year with a 97% success rate that included 251 out of 260 serve attempts, and more than 77 of those serves were better than the second highest total on the team. She also had 31 aces, 34 kills – even though she was the team’s primary setter – and 5 blocks this year. In summation, it was truly a dominating performance that earned her this prestigious annual league honor. Overall, Damaceno fi nished her four-year scholastic volleyball career with 500 varsity serves. Tide football snaps losing streak with home win over Lawrence to end the season on an upbeat note With no Thanksgiving Day game again this year, DiLoreto hopes to end that drought starting in 2026 By Joe McConnell R ob DiLoreto’s return as the Everett High School football coach didn’t go as well as he would have liked it to go, but there were some positives to take from the team’s 3-7 2025 campaign. First of all, the Everett boys were able to break their seven-game losing streak last Friday night (Nov. 14) at Everett Memorial Stadium with a non-playoff home win against Lawrence, 19-14 to end the season on a successful note. Unfortunately, it’s over, because once again there is no Thanksgiving Day game for the Crimson Tide, but more on Lynn English on Oct. 25 to go along with the recent games against Revere (21-14, Oct. 31) and Cambridge (47-46, Nov. 7). Ending the season with that win over Lawrence could have a residual eff ect on next year’s team in terms of a confi dence that later on in this recap. It couldn’t have started off any better this year for the Crimson Tide. They had two great wins over Medford (34-7, Sept. 5) and Lynn Classical (42-6, Sept. 12). But of the seven losses that followed, four of them were competitive that could have gone either way. There was the 28-7 loss to BC High on Sept. 25, not to mention the 50-35 defeat to booster. “Our players were certainly proud to end the year with a win, especially at home,” said DiLoreto, “and were noticeably energetic throughout and after the Lawrence game (as a result of it).” DiLoreto also mentioned that he and his coaching staff were excited to see the seniors win SPORTS | SEE PAGE 14 C New Faces Across the Top of Lists for Greater Boston League Champions Revere unseats malden as GbL Field Hockey Champ; Lynn English wins fi rst GbL Football Crown By Steve Freker all it a true “changing of the guard” in the Greater Boston League this past fall. In every sport across the board, there is a new Greater Boston League (GBL) Champion this year from last year, something that does not occur as often as one might think. In Football, Lynn English rolled over all four opponents for a 4-0 GBL mark to claim its first League Championship since the “Lynns” and Revere came over to the GBL fi ve years ago. In Boys Soccer, Chelsea has been knocking on the door for the past three years… this year it got answered with a GBL title! For the past fi ve years, it has been either Revere or Somerville on top of the Boys Soccer roll call. Revere was the league champion in two of the last three years. The years that Revere or Somerville did NOT rule the GBL roost, they fi nished in second place to one another. Revere Boys Soccer DID fi nish tied for second place in the Greater Boston League with Lynn English at 7-3-4 in GBL play, and the Team LeagueOverall Lynn English 4-0 2-3 Revere 6-2 Somerville 3-2 6-2 Lynn Classical 3-5 2-3 2-5 Medford 1-3 3-5 Malden 1-3 2-6 BOYS SOCCER Team LeagueOverall Chelsea Lynn English Revere Somerville Everett Malden 10-2-1 12-4-2 7-3-4 7-3-4 6-5-3 6-6-2 5-5-4 7-5-5 9-4-5 8-7-4 6-8-4 6-7-5 Somerville Malden Lynn Classical Everett Revere Chelsea Everett Malden Patriots did qualify for the postseason at 7-5-5 overall In Boys Soccer, Everett and Malden had similar fates, both missing qualification for the MIAA State Tournament by just one game. Everett fi nished 2 points (2 pts./win, 1 pt./tie) out of the running, while it was even more agoni z ing for Malden: at 6-75 overall, only ONE standings point from state tourney status. For Malden, it was especially stinging since last season the Golden Tornados managed only one win all year and this season showed marked, dramatic improvement with the 6 wins and 5 ties. In Girls Soccer, Medford battled it out all season with Somerville, but won the two matches that counted the most, against the Highlanders, to finish unbeaten in league play at 13-0-1. Revere Field Hockey broke a title drought stretching back to 2019 and won the crown this year, unseating Malden, which won a GBL Championship in 2024 and was Greater Boston League co-Champ with Everett in 2023 and 2022. 2025 GREATER BOSTON LEAGUE FALL SEASON STANDINGS FOOTBALL Lynn Classical Medford 2-10-3 2-10-3 1-11-2 3-12-2 GIRLS SOCCER Team LeagueOverall Medford 13-0-1 13-5-1 10-2-0 11-6-0 8-4-2 12-5-2 5-7-3 5-10-3 4-8-2 4-9-1 3-6-3 6-10-2 4-11-1 7-7-3 FIELD HOCKEY Team LeagueOverall Revere 2-0-1 2-1-1 0-3-0 5-7-1 5-11-1 1-11-1

The Everett coach went on to say that “the team came together in all three phases of the game to overcome injuries and adversity to secure this win, and they truly played like a family.” Junior Jamauri Dulin hooked up with his classmate Jeremiah Joseph in this game on an eightyard touchdown pass play, and sophomore quarterback Valdemyr Fedna completed a seven-yard pass to Dulin to help keep another drive alive.

The highlight of Dulin’s season, according to DiLoreto, was his fi ve-touchdown performance against Cambridge. DiLoreto said of Freni that he was a team leader on both sides of the ball as its quarterback and hardnosed linebacker, while adding that Fortune was an outstanding blocker on off ense and a tremendous rush specialist on defense, who constantly put pressure on opposing off enses. Say nr Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller Best Online Will Makers Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some good online resources for writing a simple will? I’m 70 and divorced and want to get my affairs organized, but I hate paying a high-priced attorney fee if I can do it myself. Don’t Have Much Dear Don’t, Having a last will and testament is an important document to have because it ensures that your money and property will be distributed to the people you want to receive it after your death. Currently, fewer than one-third of American adults have prepared a will. If you die without a will, your estate will be settled in accordance with state law. Details vary by state, but assets typically are distributed using a hierarchy of survivors. Assets go fi rst to a spouse, then to children, then your siblings, and so on. You also need to be aware that certain accounts take precedence over a will. If you jointly own a home or a bank account, for example, the house, and the funds in the account, will go to the joint holder, even if your will directs otherwise. Similarly, retirement accounts and life insurance policies are distributed to the benefi ciaries you designate, so it is important to keep them up to date too. Online Will Makers If you have a simple, straightforward estate and an uncomplicated family situation, writing your own will – with the help of a good online will making program – is a viable alternative to hiring an attorney and much cheaper. Like tax software, these online tools will guide you through a series of questions and will insert your answers into a will for you, and it usually takes less than 30 minutes from start to fi nish. Some of the highest-rated do-it-yourself options include the Quicken WillMaker & Trust 2025 downloadable software (WillMaker.com) that starts at $109 and is valid in every state except Louisiana; Trust & Will (TrustandWill.com) which charges $199 for an individual will-based estate plan; and LegalZoom (LegalZoom.com), which off ers will-based estate plans for $129 or $149 if you’d like assistance from an independent attorney. Or, if that’s more than you’re able or willing to pay, two good options that will let you make your will for free are FreeWill. com or DoYourOwnWill.com. When to Hire a Lawyer If you have considerable fi - nancial assets or a complex family situation, like a blended family or a child with special needs, it would be smart for you to seek professional advice. An experienced lawyer can make sure you cover all your bases, which can help avoid family confusion and squabbles after you’re gone. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA.org) and the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils (NAEPC.org) websites are good resources that have directories to help you fi nd someone in your area. Costs will vary depending on your location and the complexity of your situation, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $200 and $1,000 to get your will made. To help you save, shop around and get price quotes from several different firms. And before you meet with an attorney, make a detailed list of your assets and accounts to help make your visit more effi cient. Where to Store it? Once your will is written, the best place to keep it is either in a fi reproof safe or fi le cabinet at home, in a safe deposit box in your bank or online. But make sure your executor knows where it is and has access to it. Or, if a professional prepares your will, keep the original document at your lawyer’s offi ce. Also, be sure to update your will if your family or fi nancial circumstances change, or if you move to another state.

Michael Moore (D-Millbury). “The commission established by this bill will help streamline the process for libraries to license books and other digital materials, expanding access to knowledge to more ~ HELP WANTED ~ islation that would expand the current law which punishes anyone who commits assault and battery against a public employee. The bill ensures that all transit workers are covered, including those who are not directly employed by the state, such as workers employed by Keolis, the state’s contracted commuter rail operator. The bill would also add “assault and battery by means of a bodily substance including saliva, blood or urine” to the current law. “Transit workers are among the most essential employees of our commonwealth, carrying out the steady and often unseen work that allows tens of thousands of people to travel safely and reliably each day,” said sponsor Sen. Nick Collins (D-South Boston). “Their commitment keeps our cities moving, even under challenging and unpredictable circumstances. When the rights and safety of these workers are impinged upon, it is an aff ront to the invaluable service they provide and the trust the public places in them.” Collins continued, “We must remain vigilant in safeguarding their wellbeing, as they encounter nearly every facet of public life in this line of work. Legislation like this, which strengthens protections and expands the defi nition of what constitutes an assault against a transit worker, sends a clear message that we do not take their hard work for granted and that we stand fi rmly behind those who keep our commonwealth connected.” The House already approved a diff erent version of the measure, and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes BANNING SCHOOL LIBRARY BOOKS AND MATERIALS (S 2696) Senate 35-3, approved and sent to the House a bill that supporters said would require that school library materials be age-appropriate, serve an educational purpose and be chosen based on a teacher or employee’s professional training—leaving aside personal, political or doctrinal views which could aff ect their decision to place the book on the shelf. Supporters noted that the bill would give local school districts and municipal public libraries the flexibility to craft their own policies that align with state protocols and the standards of the American Library Association. They argued that for school libraries, an appropriate process for considering whether to remove a book would include assurance that a challenged book remains available to library patrons while the process plays out, guarding against frivolous or unfounded complaints. They said the bill would protect librarians and school employees from retaliation over their selection of library books, ensuring that they do not suff er professional, civil or criminal penalties if they have acted in good faith and followed their library materials policy. “I am thrilled that the Senate has taken decisive bipartisan action to push back against cowardly attempts to ban books in our schools and public libraries,” said Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro), the lead sponsor of the bill. “Massachusetts is not immune from the un-American panic gripping the nation in recent years. Today, the Senate defends the right to read and ensures that decisions about library materials are made by trained professionals, not political actors. This bill is about protecting the people who make our libraries and schools places of discovery, inclusion and belonging.” “I’m proud to stand with my Senate colleagues today in support of this bipartisan bill to protect values we hold so dear: the freedom to create, to think for one’s self, to explore ourselves and our world through books and art and pass the legacy of free expression to our children and grandchildren,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “This bill is just one of many that the Senate is prioritizing and passing this session as part of our Response 2025 initiative to protect our residents, defend our values and lead Massachusetts during these dark days when our basic civil and constitutional rights are under constant attack.” “I don’t believe in restricting knowledge, as long as it’s age appropriate, and believe in setting up a process where adults can deliberate on the appropriateness,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton), one of three senators who voted against the bill. “The Senate’s fi nal version of the bill restricts parental notifi cations and involvement, diminishes the school committee as the ultimate authority of school policy and will certainly lead to increased legal costs for school districts. It is essential that school committees retain BEACON | SEE PAGE 17

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 21, 2025 Page 17 BEACON | FROM PAGE 16 the authority to make final determinations—by vote— on whether challenged materials should remain in or be removed from school library collections. If parents or students disagree with a school committee’s decision, the appropriate recourse should be through democratic engagement—by advocating for, electing or re-electing school committee members and officials who reflect their educational values, and not through costly and complex litigation.” “We strongly oppose [the bill] because it would keep vulgar and sexually explicit books on public school library shelves, where minors can easily access them,” said Michael King, President of Massachusetts Family Institute. “The bill strips local school committees of their ability to protect students and would expose districts to lawsuits simply for doing what parents reasonably expect — keeping children safe. This is not about ‘banning books.’ It’s about safeguarding childhood innocence, respecting parental rights and preserving local control.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes AUTHORS AND CREATORS CAN CHALLENGE A SCHOOL BOARD’S DECISION (S 2696) Senate 37-0, approved an amendment to the section of the bill that gives students, parents and guardians the legal right to challenge a school board’s decisions to remove materials from a school library. The amendment extends that right to the authors and creators and also creates a right for residents, authors and creators to go to court to challenge the removal. “I filed this amendment because authors deserve the right to defend both their livelihoods and their freedom of expression when their work is removed from libraries,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “Book bans suppress voices, erase perspectives and ultimately undermine our democracy, which relies on open access to ideas.

Sal DiDomenico Yes 90-DAY TIME PERIOD (S 2696) Senate 7-30, rejected an amendment that would have implemented a 90-day time period for a determination on whether challenged material in school libraries is devoid of any educational, literary, artistic, personal or social value, or is not age appropriate. As written, the bill itself does not include a time period for a determination. “If a parent has a concern about whether a book being taught to their child is age appropriate, that is not a concern that should be allowed to linger,” said Sen. Michael Moore (D-Millbury). “The timeframe … would set guidelines to help push officials to determine whether a book is appropriate within a reasonable period – quickly eliminating any uncertainty for students, parents and teachers.” Sen. Jake Oliveira (D-Ludlow) said he voted against the amendment because it is an administrative redundancy. He noted that all policies adopted by school committees are adopted in accordance with the guidelines set by the Massachusetts General Laws, which are reviewed by the school committees when adopting policies. He said there was no need to add another administrative burden. Sen. Peter Durant (R-Spencer), the sponsor of the amendment, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on the defeat of his amendment. Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro), the lead sponsor of the underlying bill, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on this amendment. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL SUICIDE AWARENESS AND REMEMBRANCE DAY (H 3388) – The House and Senate approved and sent to Gov. Maura Healey a bill that would establish September 22nd as Military Service Members and Veterans Suicide Awareness and Remembrance Day. The day would acknowledge that suicide is an epidemic among service members and veterans and would foster awareness and call for suicide prevention measures and support. “We brought forward this veteran suicide remembrance and awareness bill in direct response to the tragedies that BEACON | SEE PAGE 18 - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI25P5852EA Estate of: ALFRED BORGONZI Date of Death: 02/20/2005 CITATION ON PETITION FOR FORMAL ADJUDICATION To all interested persons: A petition for Formal Adjudication of Intestacy and Appointment of Personal Representative has been filed by: Eugene J.

Joan Meschino (D-Hull). “[The bill] is an important step in offering support to both our active service members and veterans.” INFLAMMATORY BREAST CANCER (H 2489) – The House gave initial approval to legislation, known as Marnie’s Law, which would integrate Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) education into the undergraduate curriculum of all approved nursing programs in the state. IBC is a rare and aggressive form of invasive breast cancer that often presents itself as swelling or redness of the breast, as opposed to a lump that is typically associated with breast cancer. Marnie’s Law is named after 37-year-old Marnie Elizabeth Cass Robidas who died from IBC in 2022. Supporters said that IBC is challenging for medical providers to diagnose. They noted that the inclusion of IBC training will effectively improve patient outcomes by reducing the chance of misdiagnoses, ultimately saving countless lives. ”My family was affected by IBC, and when I learned from working with Marnie’s Army and [co-sponsor] Rep. Diggs that its symptoms weren’t taught in nursing education, I was inspired to join their effort to save women’s lives,” said co-sponsor Rep. Hadley Luddy (D-Orleans). Marnie’s Army is a group, named after Marnie, which raises awareness of the disease and raises money for research and education on the illness at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. “I filed this bill because inflammatory breast cancer is one of the most aggressive and least understood forms of breast cancer, and too many patients lose precious time due to delayed or incorrect diagnosis,” said co-sponsor Rep. Kip Diggs (D-Barnstable). “By ensuring that every nursing student in Massachusetts is trained to recognize the signs of IBC, we are strengthening early detection and saving lives. Marnie’s Law is about awareness, compassion and giving our future nurses the tools they need to protect patients and families across the commonwealth.” PROMOTE URBAN AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE (H3130) – The House gave initial approval to legislation aimed at promoting urban agriculture and horticulture by allowing cities with a population greater than 50,000 and all Gateway Cities to exempt property taxes for land used for commercial urban agriculture. The tax incentive applies to only the portion of land on a parcel being used for agriculture and only applies to portions that are two acres or less. Additionally, the parcel must have had at least $500 in gross sales of agricultural or horticultural products to be eligible for the tax incentive. “We filed this bill to support small-scale urban agriculture, which strengthens local food systems, improves environmental health and promotes local economic development,” said co-sponsors Reps. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury) and Vanna Howard (D-Lowell), in a joint statement. “This bill allows cities to incentivize urban agriculture and gain these benefits through a property tax exemption.” COMMISSION ON LGBTQ AGING (S 2711) – The Senate approved and sent to the House a proposal that would replace the name of the current “Commission on Older Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Aging” (LGBT) with “LGBTQ” (the Q represents queer and questioning). The measure also adds four more seats to the commission -- one each appointed by the Senate President, Senate Minority Leader, Speaker of the House and House Minority Leader. The commission was created to enhance the quality of life for LGBTQ older adults in the Bay State through state policy and program recommendations, collaborations, partnerships and advocacy. The bill also replaces several other terms in the language that created the commission including replacing “elders” with “older adults” and ”Elder Affairs” with “Aging and Independence.” Sponsor Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville) said she filed the bill after the commission’s current membership agreed that it was timely and appropriate to reflect the more inclusive terminology for the communities represented by the commission, along with name changes of numerous member offices and organizations over the course of the commission’s existence. DENIAL OF RIGHTS AND SERVICES TO DISABLED PERSONS (S 2714) – A bill before the Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities would create a special commission to study the denial of rights and services of disabled persons. The commission would be required to submit a report on the volume of disability rights denial cases submitted and their impact on the disability community, the effectiveness of the enforcement of disability rights in the state within the last five years and education of disability rights awareness. Another report would also be required to be submitted to the Legislature with recommendations, including proposed legislation or regulations. “Discrimination has no place in Massachusetts, regardless of background or ability,” said sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “As we examine the best way to support our disabled population, it is imperative that we are armed with the best information and best recommendations from a broad array of stakeholders, from lawmakers to experts to advocates and, most importantly, those with lived experiences. I am hopeful that this commission and its recommendations will lead to lasting, impactful change for those with service animals.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “We unleashed an industry that now promotes betting on anything and everything imaginable and unimaginable all over the world, 24 hours a day, every single day. I want to publicly apologize to those who’ve lost the opportunity to sit and watch a game just for the enjoyment of the BEACON | SEE PAGE 19 Apportionment Of Estate Taxes W here an estate is clearly anticipated to be exempt from federal and Massachusetts estate tax, estate tax apportionment among beneficiaries is simply not significant. However, in estates that are greater than the current federal estate tax threshold of $13,999,000 or are greater than the current Massachusetts estate tax threshold of $2,000,000, but that do not qualify for the marital or charitable deductions, apportionment can significantly affect the beneficiaries of the estate. The federal estate tax exemption will rise to $15million on January 1, 2026. The estate tax clause can affect the economic interests of those who are to receive your probate and nonprobate property. If, for example, all estate taxes resulting from your death are to be paid out of the residue of your probate estate, then those individuals who take property outside of your Will (for example via life insurance, jointly held property, beneficiary of IRA account), or by a nonresiduary testamentary bequest or devise (for example, a specific bequest of personal property or a specific devise of real estate) may be advantaged at the expense of your beneficiaries who take under the residuary clause. You should be aware of the effect a particular tax clause in your Will would have on your estate plan’s dispositive scheme and you should be aware of what the alternatives are insofar as allocating the estate tax burden is concerned. Absent a contrary provision in your Will, federal and Massachusetts estate taxes will be apportioned pursuant to Mass General Laws, Chapter 65C and Chapter 190B, Article III, Section 3-916. Collateral provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (Sections 2206, 2207(A) and 2603(b) generally consistent with Massachusetts law, also apply. The general scheme is that all estate taxes on probate property are payable from the residue, and estate taxes on nonprobate property are allocated to the recipients of such property. All Wills should contain carefully drafted estate tax clauses. This is particularly important in the following circumstances: 1. Where specific bequests carry a substantial portion of the estate value, would it be fair for the residuary legatees to pay a portion of the estate taxes allocable to the specific bequests? If not, an estate tax clause allocating a proportionate estate tax burden to the specific bequests is required. 2. Where it is desired that the surviving joint owners of bank accounts, for example, or the recipients of life insurance or pension benefits are not expected to contribute to the estate taxes, either because the amount passing to them is small in comparison to the residuary legatees or they are preferred beneficiaries, an estate tax clause allocating all estate taxes to the residue is necessary. 3. Where a residue clause bequeaths a share to an otherwise tax-exempt beneficiary, such as a surviving spouse or public charity, the shares of these beneficiaries should be exempted from contributing to the estate taxes. Otherwise, the deduction for the bequest to the surviving spouse or the public charity will be reduced, thus serving to increase the estate taxes paid. Estate tax clauses should also be included in estate planning trusts when more complicated estates are involved. Remember, many assets are included in your “taxable” estate upon your death but yet would not constitute part of your “probate” estate. Assets in your taxable estate would include life insurance death benefits, jointly held assets, assets housed in living trusts, IRA accounts, pension plans, annuities, etc. Your Will only speaks upon your death and only affects property held by you in your individual name at the time of your death.

I want to apologize to those who find themselves in the dark spaces of betting addiction and to those working through recovery and to their families and friends. I want to apologize to those who have lost loved ones to suicide because of gambling issues.” ---Sen. John Keenan (D-Quincy) apologizing for his 2022 vote to legalize sports betting in the Bay State. Keenan was testifying in favor of his current bill (S 302) that would place guardrails on sports betting to address the harm that can come with wagering. “If a toy breaks, we know it right away. But if a toy contains toxics such as lead or phthalates, or a chatbot interacts with our child in a way we don’t approve of, we don’t necessarily know. The scariest part is that we can’t actually see all the dangers a toy might pose. That’s deeply troubling.” ---Teresa Murray, Consumer Watchdog Director for U.S. PIRG Education Fund and co-author of a new report, “Trouble in Toyland,” which charges that toys that are powered by artificial intelligence often say inappropriate things to children, and toys, bought online and shipped from overseas, too often contain toxic substances. “The federal government’s actions have created a massive thunderstorm of pain and suffering for Massachusetts, and the government shutdown was just the start. This is a time for moral outrage, and a time for action.” ---Cindy Rowe, a member of the Raise Up Massachusetts Steering Committee, urging the Legislature to use $1.3 billion from the state’s $8.6 billion Rainy Day Fund and to raise additional new revBUYER2 SELLER1 Degregorio, Donna Swankowski, Joseph A Nelson, Marie C Gurung, Raksha Addison Properties LLC Monteforte Jr, Louis A enue by combatting the offshore tax dodging of billionaire global corporations, so that Massachusetts can prevent the worst harm from federal cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, education funding and other critical programs. “For years, we’ve warned that Massachusetts’ rigid and aggressive climate laws were setting the state up for unaffordable energy costs and unreliable power. This proposal shows that even on Beacon Hill, among the very same lawmakers that rammed the net-zero by 2050 roadmap bill through five years ago, there’s growing recognition that the current approach simply isn’t sustainable.” ---Paul Craney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, advocating for passage of a bill that would begin to scale back some of what he calls the state’s “out of control, binding net zero energy mandates,” including making the state’s 2030 emissions target advisory rather than legally binding. 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.
