THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 22, 2024 Page 23 BEACON | FROM PAGE 22 petitive,” said Rep. Jerry Parisella (D-Beverly), House Chair of the Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies. “Policy provisions include permitting reforms, educator diversity, consumer protections around ticketing and home improvement contractors, workforce training and rural development. These, along with meaningful tax credits and incentives for life sciences and climatetech will help keep Massachusetts a leader in vital industries.” “This well-rounded economic development package makes significant, targeted investments into major sectors of the commonwealth’s economy,” said Rep. Aaron Michlewitz, (D-Boston), chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means. “By renewing our commitment to the life sciences industry, and by making significant new investments into climatetech, we will be elevating the commonwealth’s economy to be able to compete and thrive for years to come.” Rep. Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick) said this “so-called economic development” bill contains major education and civil service reforms. “That alone is enough for a ‘No’ vote,” said Boldyga, “They should be separate bills. But regardless of that, this bill will continue to march the commonwealth down a destructive path of reckless government spending. It’s full of pork, tax breaks for special interest groups and over $400 million in more subsidies for offshore wind that is destroying our coastline, killing our whales and decimating our fishing industry.” Boldyga continued, “[It] also includes dangerous DEI language that would allow for exemptions of certain certification tests for public school teachers in order to meet diversity goals, incorporates ‘culturally responsive training,’ requires schools to create ‘diversity plans,’ and creates DEI officers and other mandatory DEI roles within our schools.” “While I support many of the funding initiatives in the bill, I have concerns with outside sections of the bill that have nothing to do with economic development which I simply cannot support,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “For example, the SAPHE act, which is about public health and dramatically expands the power of state health officials while diminishing local control and leading to lower levels of accountability which could cause severe economic impacts on businesses and individuals.” Fattman continued, “I do not agree with the portions of the bill that lower the standards of licensure for teachers and physicians, especially at a time where we should expect nothing but excellence from our teachers and doctors. Where too many of the sections were unrelated to economic development, it led to my ‘No’ vote, and these sections are troubling and distracting from the intended purpose of this legislation. Quite frankly, I believe the public is tired of this approach to legislating. Instead, we should have included practical ways to reduce the cost of living for Massachusetts residents struggling to make ends meet because of affordability issues in the state, such as tax breaks for childcare and/or middle class families.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it. The House held two separate roll calls on the same bill so there are two votes listed for each representative.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes/Yes Yes CLEAN ENERGY AND CLIMATE (S 2967) House 128-17, approved and sent to Gov. Maura Healey climate/energy legislation that supporters say will make systemic changes to the state’s clean energy infrastructure which will help the state achieve its net zero emissions by 2050 goals. They say it will also expand electric vehicle use and infrastructure and protect residents and ratepayers. A House-Senate conference committee drafted the compromise version to resolve the dif- LEGAL NOTICE - ferences in the competing versions approved by the House and Senate earlier this year. “Today the Legislature once again took decisive action to address the climate crisis,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “While achieving the shared goal of reforming siting and permitting so that we can ensure that clean energy projects get approved and built at the rate necessary to meet our state’s ambitious emissions reduction goals, we are also expanding electric vehicle charging infrastructure and incentives, addressing the high cost and long lifespan of gas infrastructure projects as we strive to move towards cleaner energy sources, and protecting rate payers from bearing the costs of this transformational shift.” “This legislation represents the Legislature’s continued commitment to meeting Massachusetts’ long-term emission reduction targets, as it builds on the work that is being done to modernize the commonwealth’s energy grid, increase clean energy generation and combat the climate crisis,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “The reforms related to siting and permitting of clean energy infrastructure will be critical in the process of transitioning the commonwealth’s energy grid away from fossil fuels over time.” “I voted against the [bill] beBEACON | SEE PAGE 25 - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 Docket No. MI24P3096GD IN RE: COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS LAND COURT DEPARTMENT OF THE TRIAL COURT DOCKET NUMBER: 24 SM 003932 ORDER OF NOTICE To: Asline Thompson a/k/a Asline D.
