Please call your legislators, the attorney general and the governor to register your support for the audit law you just voted for.” “I believe that that this rule change would go against what 70 percent plus of the commonwealth voted for on November 5th,” said Rep. John Marsi (R-Dudley). “While I understand it allowed the auditor to select an auditor to perform a financial audit, the scope and control over the process doesn’t seem to be in line with the referendum question and may work against the intended outcome the public desires.” “This role change amounts to a step in opposition to the widespread referendum that was just voted on by the public a week ago,” said Rep. Joe McKenna (R-Sutton). “While on its surface ceding some existing audit control to the auditor would appear to be in the spirit of the referendum, the reality is that the Legislature would maintain control over the scope and depth of any contracted work, thereby circumventing the intent of the referendum. A number of representatives had direct conversations with the auditor herself which highlighted her own opposition to the measure as a misguided attempt to undermine the outcome of ballot Question 1.” (A “Yes” vote is for the rule change. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL BREAST CANCER SCREEN~ Legal Notice ~ A.G. Quealy Towing, Inc. Notice is hereby given by: A.G.

Healey signed into law legislation that would require health insurance companies to provide coverage for diagnostic examinations for breast cancer, digital breast tomosynthesis screening and medically necessary and appropriate screening with breast magnetic resonance imaging. Supporters noted that although access to routine preventive screening mammograms is currently covered under the Affordable Care Act, this legislation would go further and require coverage for certain screenings and exams currently not uniformly covered by law. “We know that early detection of breast cancer saves lives,” said Healey. “This legislation will help ensure that cost is not a barrier for women to get the screenings and care they need.” “Today is the culmination of work I have done for nearly a decade to ensure that all women have access to necessary, and possibly lifesaving, breast cancer screenings,” said sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “Early detection of breast cancer saves lives. This legislation makes those diagnostic exams used for early detection accessible and affordable, giving women the vital resources needed to catch breast cancer in its earliest stages.” “This legislation signed into law by Gov. Healey ensures that all women in the commonwealth have access to the digital breast tomosynthesis and MRI screening they need to catch cancer early, without facing financial barriers,” said Sen. Mike Rush (D-Boston). “The increased access to early detection that this enabled through this legislation will save lives.” “Cost is a known barrier to completing follow up cancer screenings,” Marc Hymovitz, Massachusetts director of government relations for American Cancer Society Action Network. “By eliminating the potential for unexpected costs, we can increase the likelihood of timely, follow up screenings for those who need them – and thus the promise of better health outcomes – for all communities.” HOUSE MEMBERS TO VISIT CUBA - House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy) and ten other state representatives are headed to Cuba, where part of their mission is to discuss the importance of investing in healthcare systems with public officials, hospital staff, researchers and charitable organizations. “I applaud the visit of this important delegation from the Massachusetts House of Representatives to Cuba,” said U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA). “This trip will allow state leaders to learn more about the Cuban healthcare system, climate resiliency strategies and life science innovations. It will also facilitate critical conversations about how to get much-needed humanitarian aid to the Cuban people.” “I am a strong believer in the power of diplomatic dialogue and engagement, and I’ve long believed it’s time to rethink America’s failed, cold-war approach to dealing with Cuba,” continued McGovern. “I hope that this visit can serve as an important step in improving relations between our two countries.” All expenses incurred by members traveling on this trip, including expenses related to transportation, lodging and meals, are being funded by each individual member. The group includes Reps. Jennifer Balinsky Armini (D-Marblehead), Michael Day (D-Stoneham), Marjorie Decker (D-Cambridge), Mindy Domb (D-Amherst), Ken Gordon (D-Bedford), John Lawn (D-Watertown), Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), Frank Moran (D-Lawrence), Mike Moran (D-Brighton) and Jeff Roy (D-Franklin). TAX CREDIT FOR COMPANIES THAT HIRE NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS – The Healey administration announced the launch of a new program that would provide a $2,000 tax credit to Massachusetts businesses that hire active members of the National Guard. Supporters said the program aims to increase economic opportunities for members of the Guard and encourage more businesses to hire and retain them. “We are addressing the employment roadblocks active service members face and expanding valuable job opportunities statewide,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “The National Guard Hiring Tax Credit will incentivize businesses to hire skilled service members, empowering these businesses to grow and strengthening our local economies.” “The skills, discipline and resilience of National Guard members make them invaluable to any employer,” said Veterans Services Secretary Jon Santiago. “Through the HERO Act and initiatives like this tax credit, we’re strengthening our workforce and reaffirming our commitment to those who serve, ensuring they receive support both in uniform and at home.” “This tax credit is a meaningful investment in our National Guard members, expanding opportunities for them in the workforce while encouraging more businesses to recognize and leverage their unique skills and dedication,” said Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy. “By supporting employers who hire active Guard members, we’re strengthening our local economies, honoring the service BEACON | SEE PAGE 28
