This legislation aims to meet the Commonwealth’s 2050 Net Zero Climate goals by increasing its supply of clean energy by setting new renewable energy generation storage procurement targets, and by streamlining the permitting process on the state and local level. The bill aims to consolidate the state, regional and local permitting process for larger clean energy projects into a single permit issued by the Energy Facilities Siting Board. In addition, this bill mobilizes groundbreaking and innovative technologies that will power the Commonwealth’s green transition by solving interconnection issues, generating and procuring more clean power, and incentivizing consumers and businesses to adopt green technologies, among other stipulations. “The passage of this legislation marks a pivotal moment for the Commonwealth as we take steps towards a cleaner future,” said State Representative Paul Donato (D-Medford). “We will continue to honor our commitments to fi nding solutions State Representative that not only combat climate change but also stimulate innovation throughout the state. I am proud that the Legislature has come together to recognize the importance of building resilient energy infrastructure for the future of our constituents.” “Thank you to my colleagues for all their hard work on this legislation that will recommit Massachusetts to our net-zero emission goals,” said State Representative Steven Ultrino (D-Malden). “I am excited that this legislation will help Massachusetts adopt green technologies and transition to clean energy.” “As a member of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy, I was glad to join my colleagues in the House to pass this legislation aimed at meeting Massachusetts’s long-term climate goals,” said State Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose). “The bill’s streamlined processes for clean energy infrastructure site identifi cation and permitting with local community involvement and additional levers for the adoption of clean energy use throughout the Commonwealth are critical for addressing our climate crisis.

The event featured the first ever Disability Pride flag raising on City Hall Plaza as a symbol of solidarity, acceptance and pride. The first official celebration of Disability Pride Month occurred in July 2015, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The flag was created by Ann Magill and each of the colors represents different types of disabilities: red (physical disabilities); gold (neurodiversity); white (invisible disabilities and disabilities that haven’t yet been diagnosed); blue (emotional and psychiatric disabilities, including mental illness, anxiety and depression); and Lawrence A.

Malden man, 35, arrested at MBTA’s South Station on outstanding warrant related to drug distribution charges By Steve Freker A 35-year-old Malden man was arrested Tuesday on an outstanding warrant related to drug distribution charges at the MBTA’s South Station on the Red Line. After reports of concerns by riders at South Station on Tuesday of alleged drug activity and distribution Tuesday evening around 10 p.m., MBTA Transit Police approached a man to discuss possible suspicious behavior. Subsequently, it was determined the individual had an outstanding warrant from Quincy District Court on charges related to narcotics distribution. Once confronted by the Transit Police, it was determined that the man was wanted on the warrant, leading to his arrest. The suspect was then transported to Transit Police Headquarters, on Southampton Street, Boston, to undergo the booking process. Transit Police did not identify the suspect by name, only by age and city of residence.

SAFETY | FROM PAGE 1 per week. Part-Time Position. To apply, be sure to visit the link (Courtesy of brite.com) Here’s the checklist of criteria cybersecurity professionals recommend to determine if an email is suspicious: 1. Inconsistent URLs, links and email addresses Check for small changes in common domains to see if link URLs are consistent with the sender domain. An easy way to do this is to hover over the link inside the email message. Be wary if the URL doesn’t belong to the company that supposedly sent the message. 2. Incorrect spelling and grammar The reason poor spelling and grammar are used in phishing email scams is twofold. First, some scams originate overseas where English is not the actor’s fi rst language. Second, devious actors strategically use subpar spelling and grammar to weed out critical people leaving those who fall prey to phishing more likely to complete the desired action. 3. Threats or demands for action No credible organization threatens its customers with serious consequences. Consider it suspicious if an email sender demands that you click a link, open an attachment, or reply with personal information (i.e. fi nancial information) or else face legal action or a frozen account. 4.

Be skeptical of requests to non-associated addresses. For example, assume phishing if you receive an email from Amazon to your professional email and the account is not linked to it. 5. Unexpected email or attachments Use caution if you’re not expecting to hear from someone via email. The same goes for unexpected attachments. Don’t click on it. Give the sender a call to see if they truly emailed you an attachment. 6. Low-resolution logo Phishers often use crude tactics like “cut and paste” to grab a logo from an organization’s website to pass it off as their own. Chances are the sender doesn’t work there if a government agency, bank or other legitimate organization’s logo is low quality, blurry or just not prominent. 7. Off ers for free stuff or cheap deals Off ers that sound too good to be true probably are too good to be true.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 26, 2024 ~ Malden Musings ~ Saint Rocco Feast August 9-11 By Peter Levine I t’s the most wonderful time of the year... San Rock 2024 is right around the corner! Once again, we will gather on freshly painted, newly weed-whacked, pothole-free Pearl Street (thank you, Mr. Mayor) to celebrate the best three days of the year in Malden: Saint Rocco Feast weekend (don’t call it a festival!). Hopefully, we will have marvelous weather as the weekend welcomes pilgrims from far and wide to enjoy this spectacular three days of music, food and friendship. Gotta let Malden know this right off the bat – so many people make this event the smashing success it is. Takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears to make it happen. President at the Italian American Citizens’ Club Billy Settemio, San Rock Big Cheese Joyce Mover and our trusty five tool player, Anthony Spadafora, are but a few who ensure a weekend of family-friendly fun. This year the Feast of Saint Rocco will take place on Friday, August 9, through Sunday, August 11. By North End standards this festa is a small one but it has always had an unusually big heart – and a long history. It started well over 90 years ago to assist needy Italian immigrants of Edgeworth stay warm in the winter, eat healthy in the summer and remain spiritually connected all year round (as well as drunk on homemade vino for three straight days in August). With that said…San Rock Festa 2024… Save the dates for the most joyous weekend of the year! Friday night will be newcomers and North End favorites “12 Barz Band” (a must-see type of group with a horn section). Fan favorites WildFire will be back on Saturday night (again I advise get there early for this one or you will be sitting in the rafters). Sunday we’ll have Steve Savio with Sea Breeze entertain the midday crowd after the Procession, and Billy Joel tribute act Heart Attack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack closing out the weekend. Special note and (again) mums the word...you will want to be around Sunday midday after the Procession for a very special tribute to a very special recently departed local icon. This year’s Saint Rocco Feast is the 94th year Malden gathers on Pearl Street and celebrates (and the first one without Butch Gennetti in 86 of those years). If you are one (of the many) devotee who makes the yearly pilgrimage to the Feast, welcome back. If you are one of the populaces on the fence or haven’t graced us with your presence for some time, 2024 is the perfect year to reappear. Newbies to Malden – we welcome you with goodwill, kindness and neighborly warmth (you gotta try “Richie’s Meatballs”!). The San Rock Festa is the original multicultural event. It’s all about bringing people together, not splitting them apart. Nothing has changed. Make your presence known! Come by, even if for only a short while (quick sausage, peppers & onions?). Make new friends or get reacquainted with old ones. Either way, the best of times awaits you at this year’s Festa! The 94th Annual Feast of San Rocco kicks off Friday night, Aug. 9, at 6 as we carefully guide ole San Rock from his hibernation spot high above Pearl Street at the IACC down to Pearl Street Park, where we may shed a tear or two while the marching band plays the Italian and American national anthems to start the weekend. I sincerely hope to see Butch Gennetti and Anthony Spadafora escort Saint Rocco during the Sunday afternoon Procession. you all there. Cent’ Anni. As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – baseball/ football star from “Yesteryear Malden” Tommy Cunha was a multi-sports star his whole life; a pure athlete dominating baseball fields from Linden to Devir Park since he was a wee bit of a lad. When his baseball career was over (little league, BRL, Malden High School), he took up softball and dominated that sport for decades. Tommy was a gym rat also, like most of us in those days, and could be found at any time of the day (most every day of the year) at the old Y, the Glenwood/Beebe/Linden/ Browne gyms and all points in between. In 2024, Tommy, I believe, can still be seen jogging the streets of Malden while the rest of us power walk those very same streets (and, on occasion, can be spotted entertaining his many friends at Pearl Street Station). I loved having Tommy on my basketball teams at the old Y. Tommy was a gamer. He played smart and tough. He was team-oriented and never took a bad shot. Tommy could often be heard: “Which park are y’all playin’ basketball? Get me on the court and I’m trouble. Last week, messed around and got a triple double.” Tommy never said that I just wanted to use an Ice Cube lyric in one of these columns! But seriously, get me, Tommy, Gus Murray and Joe Levine on the same team – we stay on the Y court all night; fuhgeddaboudit! Did I mention Tommy was the hero of the Malden/Medford football game when he was a senior in 1974? All of us remember Tommy’s heroics that memorable day at Hormel Stadium as MHS upset ancient rival Meffa in one of the biggest T-Giving day upsets in the history of the rivalry. Tommy played with the heart of a lion that morning: grinding out yardage short and long, coming up with the big play all morning. Medford led at the half, 6-0, when the Mustangs’ John Flynn returned the second-half kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown, putting Malden in a 12-0 hole. But the steady ground game led by Tommy (101 yards) and the passing heroics of sophomore quarterback John Stanasek sparked the big V, the first for new Head Coach Paul Finn, who went on to coach 25 more Turkey Days. It was one of the most dramatic second-half turnarounds in series history, and it gave the good guys a 2213 victory to enjoy with our turkey dinners. But I digress...Tommy contacted me recently: “Hi Peter, it was great reading about Charlie Norman in your recent article. A little tidbit that you might not know is that Charlie had such a good year in baseball, his senior year at Malden High as a right fielder, that he made All Scholastic Honorable Mention. He did a great job hitting the ball and even had a few diving catches thrown in there. Hope to see you soon at Saint Rocco’s.” Thank you, Tommy. See you in August. Postscript 1: Once again, here is my attempt at a John O’Brien-type pun/musing. John had a lot of fun over the years with this famous Bob Dylan line (“For the times they are a-changin’”). Those who know their Malden history will appreciate this. I hope it measures up: “From Nanepashemet, Montowampate, Wonohaquaham, and Wenepoykin to Abderrahim, Tiago, Wu, Gilberto, Exilhomme, Chan, and Teuta, in Malden, the times they are a-changin’.” Okay, if I need to explain, it was a failure (LOL). Postscript 2: Congratulations to “Friends of Malden” – brothers Ralph, Paul and Anthony (Deuterio) at Galleria Umberto on Hanover Street in the North End of Boston for appearing in the “Best of the Best” issue of the (July 14) Boston Globe Magazine in the “where and what to savor in the North End and beyond” category. Thus, speaketh The Globe: “There are modern, TikTok trend-induced lines, and then there are lines for the ages. The latter camp includes the lunchtime lines here.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 26, 2024 Page 7 CHAMPIONSHIP | FROM PAGE 1 Being one of the few people in the community of Malden who can easily be referenced by his first name only – à la Prince, Elvis and Beyoncé – Scarano was bringing the late Bob Rotondi right into the celebration party on Kezer Field at Pine Banks Park. The Knights, backed by some steady pitching from a tag-team pair of hard-throwing righthanders, Dylan Clough and Colin Belloise, and some clutch hitting by Max Fernandes (2for-3, 3 RBIs), captured the 2024 Malden Babe Ruth League City Series Championship Wednesday with a 7-3 win over the Flames before a large crowd at Pine Banks Park. Scarano noted that the opposing team was led by longtime manager Deano Summers: “The Flames played a great game and this was a rivalry Bob cherished, when he was able to play against his great friend Deano. Bob and Deano have been the main guys for Malden Babe Ruth for years and years. They have done so much for the families of Malden.” Bob was at Opening Night in mid-May, when his Knights started the season with a win over these Flames but, sadly, MUSINGS | FROM PAGE 6 stay square! Postscript 3: When life settles down a bit, I will present “Part Two” of my Butch Gennetti homage. But until then, I leave with these words from longtime BG admirer Debbie Gray-Silvestri: “So, today I attended a home of love, laughter, and grief.

He was the most upbeat man I ever met.

(Advocate Photo/Steve Freker) passed away on June 2 after battling serious health issues for much of the past two years. He was 85. This was his 60th season as the field manager for his beloved Knights and he knew he had something special. Even Bob, though, could not have predicted that this 2024 team would run the table through the regular season and playoffs, a perfect 17-0 uation. His love of family was unconditional, friends as well. He treated everyone with the same respect and kindness. This man’s dance moves were smooth and easy, like really gracious in a way of no other. His love of life shined like no other. The love of woman (well let’s just say it was numerous).

When a group of Italian immigrants living in Edgworth assembled for the first time in 1929, it was to honor a tradition they brought with them from their homeland of Italy.

Page 8 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 26, 2024 Malden teen, 18, charged with murder in Chelsea stabbing Suspect allegedly killed 44-year-old man with kitchen knife By Steve Freker A Malden teen, 18, is being held without bail on a murder charge after he allegedly stabbed a 44-year-old man with a kitchen knife during a fight on a busy Chelsea street late Saturday night. Joksin Briones-Blandon, of Malden, was arraigned in Chelsea District Court Monday morning and charged with first-degree murder.

Revere Beach Partnership Vice President Adrienne Sacco-Maguire called Saturday, July 20, the day of the awards ceremony in a sculptors’ competition “a perfect day. What could be better than being on Revere Beach on a day like today?” Revere Police Lieutenant Robert Impemba said the festival attracted “a good crowd with a lot of families. It’s similar to past years.” The theme for the festival was its two-decade anniversary, hence the birthday cake sculpture that served as its centerpiece. The festival is also a competition between what co-organizer Melineige Beauregard of Broken Glass Sand Sculptures of Hawaii described as “some of the best of the best” sand sculptors in the world. Jonathan “Jobi” Bouchard of Quebec won the top prize from judges for “Blend In,” as well as the People’s Choice and the opinion of the sculptors themselves. “I thought I had a good chance, but you never know,” he said. “It’s hard to judge art.” “It’s an impossible task to judge art because it’s an expression of feeling,” Beauregard agreed. Among other sculptors was Ndricim “Jimmy” Bejko – originally from Albania and now living in East Boston – one of the new sculptors this year. His piece was “Let’s Take a Selfie.” A longtime clay sculptor, he had applied for entry before, but was told he needed more experience with sand. Works shown at the Topsfield Fair, among other places, led to him being accepted. “It’s going great,” he said. “The most talented sand sculptors in the world are here.” Morgan Rudluff of San Francisco has competed in Revere before and was back with “Say More.” “I love this event; it’s one of my favorites,” she said. “There’s a strong community vibe and great sand.” Veteran entrant Deborah Barrett-Cutulle of Saugus was also one of the sculptors with “A Butterfly’s Playground.” “The festival is a wonderful thing,” she feels. Her daughter, Talia, sang the National Anthem at the awards ceremony. Sand sculpting is a unique art form and the sculptors have become a close-knit group. “With people competing at this level, we’ve known each other for years,” Rudluff said. “We are a family and it’s fun and a challenge to compete with such a talented group.” Among the people enjoying the day were Kevin Beaudry of Leominster and his children Charles, Jayne and Patty. “I used to work in the area, so I knew about it,” he said. “There’s a lot of good work here.” His cousin Jordyn Fontaine drove up from Connecticut to visit the family and see the sand sculptures. “This is the second year I’ve come and it’s awesome,” she said. Richard Marasco of Wilmington heard about the event on the radio and came over with his daughter Katie and grandson Milo, also from Wilmington. “This is my first time at Revere Beach,” Richard said. “It’s fantastic.” “I haven’t been here for years, but will definitely come back,” Katie added. Renaud and Kelly Plantey and their daughter, Ellie, took public transportation from East Boston, as they sometimes do to go to the beach or restaurants. “It’s very convenient,” Renaud said. As usual, politicians were out in full force. Revere Mayor Patrick Keefe said the festival “opens up doors for people to see the beauty of a beach we see every day. It’s an opportunity for us to show what we already know.” On Saturday morning he gave Kate Fox of the state Dept. of Travel and Tourism a tour of the beach. “The festival brings families and revenue into the city,” Revere Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna said. She attended the festival with her friend Laurie Shannon of Malden. “I often came to Revere Beach as a kid and it’s nice to be here for this,” Shannon said. “The sculptures bring people to the area.” Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya called the festival “wonderful” and credited the Revere Beach Partnership for putting it together. Revere Diversity Equity and Inclusion director Steve Morabito said he was at the first festival 20 years ago and noted how much it has grown over the years. State Senator Lydia Edwards said the festival is when “Revere shines for the whole world.” State Rep. Jessica Giannino called the festival “the best week of the year at Revere Beach.” State Rep. Jeffrey Turco also called the festival “wonderful.” Another dignitary in attendance was Miss Massachusetts Kiersten Khoury, of Westwood, who introduced the sculptors at the awards ceremony. “It’s my first time here,” she said. “I picked a good year to come.” Among vendors was a group from NeighborHealth, formerly the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center. “A lot of people have come by,” its Community Engagement Supervisor and Revere resident Nery Castro reported. And to cap off the 20th year, thousands stuck around for the dazzling fireworks display on Saturday night.

"This is my 55th visit." The statewide housing crisis is real and affects thousands of Massachusetts residents, Augustus told those in attendance, with the visit hosted by Malden Housing Authority (MHA) Executive Director Steve Finn and Mayor Gary Christenson. Several Malden state-level elected officials were on hand as well, including state Sen. Jason Lewis, D-5th Middlesex and state Reps. Paul Donato, D-Malden, Medford and Kate Lipper-Garabedian, D-Malden, Melrose. Several MHA Board members including chairperson Joan Chiasson, Frank Molis and Karen Nystrom were present as well. As for the growing housing crisis, relief is coming as a result of a sweeping, multi-faceted, $1.6 Housing Bond Bill, recently passed by the state legislature and signed by Governor Healey. Augustus said that over the course of the next three years, phases of much-needed repairs and rehabilitation of existing housing units would be initiated and completed statewide. "There are 43,000 units of (state) public housing for over 70,000 residents and we need Mass. Housing Secretary Ed Augustus speaks at the Roland Graham Community Room Thursday. them to stay online," Augustus said Thursday. "This housing crisis is real, and we cannot afford to lose any of the units we still have." In addition to repairing and rehabbing existing units, Augustus spoke of the new opportunities presented by the Housing Bond Bill to improve, expand and enhance accessibility in public housing. "We should be leading by example when it comes to accessibility and we are doing by proactively addressing accessibility issues," Augustus, former Town Manager in Worcester, said. "There is a huge need. "When many of the housing Maldonian serves aboard USS Ronald Reagan WALK ING TOUR— E r i c Svendsen talks about rehabilitation projects at Roland Graham Housing in Malden as Mayor Christenson and Senator Lewis look on. units were built pre-World War II or right after, they were built 2 or 3 stories with no elevators," Augustus said.

"These are situations we are now able to address with this new housing bond bill," the EOHLC Secretary said. "We don't want people isolated where they live. They should be able to age in place comfortably if they wish."

APPROVE $58 BILLION FISCAL 2025 STATE BUDGET (H 4800) House 154-3, Senate 40-0, approved and sent to Gov. Maura Healey a $58 billion fiscal 2025 state budget for the fiscal year that began July 1, 2024. The price tag represents a 1.97 billion or 3.5 percent increase over last year’s fiscal 2024 budget. The package uses more than $1 billion in one-time revenues to support the spending bill. Aside from the spending, the package makes policy changes including authorizing free community college, free rides on regional transit agencies, allowing the Massachusetts Lottery to sell its products online. A portion of the new revenue collected from online Lottery sales, estimated to be $100 million in in fiscal year 2025, would fund a permanent Commonwealth Cares for Children grant program which provides long-term stability for high-quality and affordable care for families. Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) said, “This budget is a vote of confidence in every Massachusetts resident going to school, raising a family and working to make ends meet—as well as a strong blueprint for bringing equity and opportunity to every region and resident of our state.” “This budget takes a fiscally responsible approach to making meaningful investments in areas of significant need,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “I’m proud of the fact that the … budget allocates key funding to better support Massachusetts students and families, to increase access to affordable health care and to provide for a safer and more reliable public transportation system.” "This year’s budget includes a $2 billion spending hike with $208 million less in tax revenues,” said Rep. Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick) one of only three members to vote against the budget. “So Democrats dug into reserve funds to balance this budget boondoggle. Even the Massachusetts Municipal Association said this year’s budget wasn’t based in reality.The budget ‘freebies’ include free school meals, free tuition at community colleges and no-charge rides on efficient models, which are easier to use. This project is funded by the state and known as the MODPhase renewal initiative. Eric Svendsen, MHA project maintenance foreman, led the tour and explained the changes and procedures being used. He also showed those on the tour some major improvements made to parking areas around the units, which tripled the number of parking spaces available in at least two locations. "The residents of these units are patient when we have to move them out temporarily, and they are very excited and appreciative when they return," Svendsen said. "We are not making eye-popping alterations, but we are absolutely their quality of life." the state's 15 regional transit authorities. The people stuck footing the bill are the working-class and from what I’ve seen they’re struggling to pay their bills and buy groceries. I’m not sure they can withstand more tax increases when these bloated budgets eventually go belly up.” “Once again, the Massachusetts Legislature is the last state in the country to pass its annual budget, and once again it is the largest budget in state history,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance.“Legislators are already putting their thumb on the scale when determining the spending ratio for the income surtax funds, in which education spending is 17 percent greater than transportation, a ratio that was included in neither chamber’s original budget. House and Senate leaders also included multiple new and costly programs at a time when state revenue collections have been underperforming and a new billion dollar migrant crisis is growing. Long term, this will be very difficult to fix unless these same big government spenders decide to cut the spending priorities they are passing in this budget.” (A “Yes” vote is for the budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason Lewis Yes APPROVE FIREARMS CHANGES (H 4885) House 123-33, Senate 35-5, approved and sent to Gov. Healey a bill that would change some of the state’s gun laws. Provisions include cracking down on untraceable "ghost guns;" banning BHRC| SEE PAGE 13

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 26, 2024 Page 13 BHRC | FROM PAGE 12 firearms in additional public spaces like schools, polling places and government buildings;expanding the 2018 "red flag" law that allows school administrators and licensed health care providers to petition a court to temporarily take firearms away from someone deemed a threat to themselves or others; closing loopholes that allow the modification of legal firearms into illegal automatic weapons; and providing a legacy clause so all firearms legally owned and registered in Massachusetts as of the effective date of the bill will continue to be legal and may be bought and sold within the state. “Today, as we consistently do in the area of firearm safety, we take the lead in making the commonwealth a safer place to live by giving law enforcement the tools they need to go after ghost guns, keeping battlefield weapons out of our neighborhoods and keep our schools, homes, town halls and polling locations safe,” said Rep. Mike Day (D-Stoneham), House Chair of the Committee on the Judiciary. “While Washington is paralyzed by dysfunction that endangers Americans across the country, we in Massachusetts address our challenges directly and take the steps necessary to modernize our firearm laws to keep us safe.” “In the decade since we last updated Massachusetts’ gun statues, our nation and our commonwealth have continued to be rocked by mass shootings and gun tragedies at an alarming rate,” said Majority Leader Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton).“This legislation proactively addresses the root causes of gun crime to curb the epidemic of violence and prevent tragedy before it strikes. It does so by ensuring that ghost guns, Glock switches and assault-style firearms are kept off our streets and out of the wrong hands.” “While we all share the same fundamental goal: to ensure the safety and well-being of our families, our neighbors and our communities, it is critical that we approach it with a balanced perspective that respects Constitutional rights while striving for effective solutions that target violent crime,” said Rep. Joe McKenna (R-Sutton). “Unfortunately, the legislation passed, while well-intentioned, did not achieve that goal.The reality is that the commonwealth already has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. As a result, those who choose to exercise their Second Amendment Constitutional rights have jumped through hoops for decades to remain law-abiding citizens. Meanwhile, those intent on committing violence -- and doing so with a firearm -- will continue to have no regard for these proposed laws or for those already on the books.” "We were given less than 24-hours to read a 116-page bill with potentially serious legal repercussions for lawful firearm owners in a state that already has some of the most stringent gun laws in the country,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton).“An overwhelming number of my constituents reached out to my office expressing their opposition to this legislation and their concerns about the lack of transparency regarding this bill throughout the entire legislative process. This bill unfairly punishes law-abiding gun owners and doesn't do enough to address the root cause of gun violence in our communities." (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes Sen. Jason Lewis Yes CLEAN ENERGY (H 4884) House 131-25, approved a bill that supporters said would increase the state’s supply of clean energy by setting new renewable energy generation storage procurement targets, and by streamlining the state and local permitting process. The Senate has already approved a different version of the measure and a House-Senate conference committee will hammer out a compromise version. Provisions include streamlining the permitting process for small clean energy projects under 25 megawatts and small energy storage systems under 100 megawatt-hours by allowing project developers to submit a permit application seeking a single permit that consolidates all necessary local permits and approvals. Municipalities would retain permitting authority over these projects and would be required to issue a single, final decision within 12 months of the receipt of a complete permit application. "The legislation passed by the House today is a historic and necessary step forward for the commonwealth at this juncture in our energy transition," said Rep. Jeff Roy (D-Franklin), House Chair of the Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy. "Reforming the siting and permitting process will allow for the swift development of the clean energy generation we need to reach our climate goals, and the rapid build-out of the transmission infrastructure that will power our electrified clean energy future. Setting procurement targets for clean energy and energy storage and incentivizing the adoption of innovative climate technologies will ensure that the buildout of our clean energy infrastructure is accomplished efficiently and equitably and is supportive of consumers and ratepayers." “This legislation represents the House’s fervent, continued commitment to meeting Massachusetts’ long-term emission reduction targets, as it builds on the work that the Legislature has already done to modernize the commonwealth’s energy grid, increase clean energy generation, and to combat the climate crisis,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “The bill makes significant changes to the local siting and permitting processes for clean energy infrastructure projects, some of which undermines local control,” said Rep. Kelly Pease (R-Westfield) who voted against the bill. “This expedited process is great for energy suppliers, but not necessarily for local communities.” “[The bill] was intended to streamline and accelerate permitting for renewable energy projects, but it did not add important safeguards I requested to make sure that projects are built safely and sustainable,” said Rep. Steven Xiarhos (R-Barnstable).“Communities across Cape Cod are expressing concern over the possible health, safety, environmental and financial effects of these projects. Ultimately, I believe this bill was not in the best interests of the people of the Fifth Barnstable District, who support clean energy generally but who want assurances about the safety of this infrastructure.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Paul Donato Yes Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes HEALTH CARE CHANGES (S 2871) Senate 38-2, approved a bill that supporters said includes urgent reforms to the state’s health care system to boost oversight and transparency in the market, improve patient access to prescribed medication and treatment and plug holes in oversight of hospitals, especially for-profit systems like the bankrupt Steward Health Care. The House has already approved a different version of the measure and a House-Senate conference committee will hammer out a compromise version. Provisions in the Senate version include expanding oversight of private equity firms, real estate investment trusts and management services organizations involved with Massachusetts health care providers; requiring a new insurance carrier to honor any prior authorizations approved by a previous carrier for at least 90 days following a patient’s enrollment in the new health plan; establishing a health insurance bureau within the Division of Insurance to conduct rate reviews of premium rates for health benefit plans and disseminate information to consumers about health insurance coverage; and establishing licensing structures for certain health care providers currently not licensed, and not subject to Department of Public Health oversight, including office-based surgical centers, urgent care centers, and health care practices. “Massachusetts is the health care capital of the world because we take seriously our responsibility to invest in and protect our systems, providers and patients,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “As we stare down a health care market plagued by high costs and the fallout from private equity mismanagement, the Senate has doubled down on our responsibility to our residents, making us a national leader in safeguarding patients, expanding access to car and holding private equity accountable.” “I’m pleased that the Senate has taken an expansive overhaul of the commonwealth’s struggling health care system with this regulatory redress bill,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “The collapse of Steward Health Care shows us that it’s now time to reform the system and make transparent the process of costs in relation to services rendered to patients. While Massachusetts is known throughout the world as providing the very best in health care, this legislation will make that care more affordable and accessible.” Sen. Mark Pacheco (D-Taunton), one of two senators to vote against the bill, said that his vote was designed to send a message protesting the lack of action from the Legislature to prepare for the threat the Steward crisis poses to healthcare access in Massachusetts. “Though I support provisions found in this bill, I believe it is important that the Legislature be more proactive as this Steward crisis unfolds," said Pacheco. "Except for senators who have Steward facilities in their district, there was not an appetite to do that, and that is what led to my 'no' vote to protest the lack of protections the Senate bill should have required. This is a message that we are not doing enough to ensure that patients have access to the important care that these facilities should be able to provide." (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Jason Lewis Yes DUAL ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS (S 2871) Senate 7-32, rejcted an amendment that would allow dually eligible individuals, also known as duals, who qualify for Medicare and MassHealth, to access care from any specialist or hospital enrolled in Medicare or MassHealth. “The adoption of this amendment would ensure that dually eligible individuals can receive necessary healthcare services without being restricted by provider network limitations,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Mark Pacheco (D-Taunton). “This provision maintains continuity of care, prevents sudden disruptions in services and ensures that duals, who often have long-standing relationships with providers managing their complex health and functional needs, are not forced to lose access due to network disruptions.” Amendment opponents said a separate bill, similar to this amendment, was shipped off to a study committee because there are not yet sufficient estimates of the cost of the bill and other problem relating to it. Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), the Senate chair of the Committee on Healthcare Financing, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her to comment on her opposition to the amendment. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Jason Lewis No FINANCIAL INSOLVENCY (S 2871) Senate 10-30, rejected an amendment that would allow the Executive Branch to take immediate control of a healthcare provider’s assets in cases of the provider’s financial insolvency. The Executive Office of Health and Human Services would also play a part in developing a pathway, through regulations, to stabilize healthcare providers. “We must safeguard the healthcare services our communities rely on, even in the face of financial challenges faced by providers,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Mark Pacheco. “We are in a moment of tremendous uncertainty about the future of Steward Health Care. If Steward hospitals were to close, hundreds of thousands of people in the commonwealth would be at risk of living in a healthcare desert. This crisis goes beyond dollars and cents. It is a matter of life and death.” Pacheco said he will continue to push the Legislature to create a plan in order to protect patients in case negotiations between Steward, the courts and the Executive Branch lead to the closure of facilities. Amendment opponents said the amendment should be rejected because no one has any idea of the cost of the amendment, which they said would be very expensive. Sen.

(A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Jason Lewis No DRUG COUPONS (S 2871) Senate 6-33, rejected an amendment extending until 2030 the current law, due to expire in 2026, that allows consumers to use coupons to get discounts and rebates when purchasing prescription drugs. In 2012, Massachusetts was the last state to lift a ban on the use of prescription coupons. Amendment supporters said this program helps some consumers to save up to 80 percent of the costs of prescription. They said the program has worked well and should be extended to 2030 or be made premanent. Amendment opponents said the program does not expire until 2026 and it is unnecessary to extend the program right now. Some argued that the use of coupons drives up health care costs by luring consumers and encouraging them to request highpriced brand name medication. Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the sponsor of the amendment, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his support for the amendment. Sen.

Jason Lewis No ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL VOTE BY MAIL APPLICATIONS – Secretary of State Bill Galvin told voters this week to check their mail for an official 2024 Vote By Mail Application. His office is sending applications to all registered voters who have not already applied for a state primary ballot. Voters who already applied earlier this year will not receive another application. Any voter who wants to vote by mail in their party’s September 3 primary can use this pre-addressed, postage pre-paid application to request their ballot. Unenrolled voters, also known as “independents,” can vote in either party primary but they must indicate their party ballot selection on the application. “These applications will look very similar to the ones that were sent to voters in January, ahead of the presidential primaries,” said Galvin. “You will only receive an application if you haven’t already applied, or if you didn’t make a party selection on your previous application. If you prefer to vote in person, early voting for the state primaries begins August 24th, Applications being mailed to voters this week allow a voter to apply for a September Primary ballot, a November general election ballot, or both. Voters who prefer to apply online may do so at www.VoteInMA.com PET CEMETERIES (H 4206) – The House has shipped off to a study committee a measure that would require the owner of any property used or to be used for a pet cemetery to file in the Registry of Deeds a dedication restricting the property to be used only for the operation of a pet cemetery. Bills that are sent to a study committee bills are rarely actually studied and are essentially defeated. It is a way to kill a proposal without holding a vote on the bill itself. Supporters say the bill would preserve existing pet cemeteries by preventing the construction and development on the property that is or holds out to be a pet cemetery. "Our pets hold a special place in our hearts, and the places where they are laid to rest deserve the same level of reverence and protection as any other memorial site,” said sponsor Rep. Rodney Elliott (D-Lowell). “This legislation ensures that pet cemeteries are upheld with the dignity and respect they deserve." BILLS STUCK IN COMMITTEE – These three bills were all given initial approval by the House in April but have not moved since. They are stuck in the Bills in Third Reading Committee. EXPAND PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENTS FOR POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS (H 2890) - Would expand the current law which provides a property tax abatement to the surviving spouses and minor children of police officers and firefighters “killed in the line of duty.” The bill provides that the abatement also go to the families of officers who “died in the line of duty.” “Killed in the line of duty” has a limited definition usually meaning the individual lost their life in an incident, accident or due to violence that are directly related to their service. “Died in the line of duty” is broader and can account for a number of medical emerBHRC| SEE PAGE 14

Page 14 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 26, 2024 OBITUARIES Jean M. Murphy Of Malden. Died peacefully in her home with loved ones near her on June 18th, 2024. Daughter of the late Gaetano and Josephine Troccoli. Wife of the late Richard Edward Murphy. Mother of Donna Sensale and her husband Rob of Raymond, New Hampshire and Carol Murphy and her husband Kevin Brunton of Malden. Sister of JoAnn Doonan of Bellingham, Linda Campanaro of Revere and her husband Gene and the late Dorothy Cameron. Jean was born and raised THE HOME AND THE MEDICAID LIEN be much less. If the private pay rate for the average nursing home in Massachusetts is $15,000 per month, the “Medicaid” rate might be, for example, $7,000 per month. This may be one reason why not to sell the house. For example, if the home is T he general rule is that the home and any adjacent land, if located in Massachusetts, is considered to be a “non-countable” asset for MassHealth eligibility purposes as long as the applicant checks off the box on the MassHealth application stating that he or she intends on returning home from a nursing home. This may or may not be likely to happen but by checking the box, the home will not be a countable asset. Assuming that for a single person the total of all other countable assets is $2,000 or less, the applicant will be eligible for MassHealth benefi ts. MassHealth’s estate recovery unit will, however, place a lien on the property. This is done so in order to seek repayment of Medicaid benefits paid to the nursing home upon the death of the MassHealth applicant. The home would have to be sold (or mortgaged) in order to pay back MassHealth. It is important to note, in 2024, the home will not be considered a “non-countable” asset if the equity in the home exceeds $1,071,000. There is an exception to this rule. The home will still be non-countable if a spouse is living there or a blind or permanently disabled child is living there, regardless of its value. The benefi t of applying for MassHealth and keeping the home is that estate recovery will be based upon the “Medicaid” rate and not the private pay rate. Therefore, the ultimate recovery against the home will sold for $750,000, at $15,000 per month for nursing home cost, the equity in the home would be entirely wiped out in approximately 50 months. However, if MassHealth is applied for and the house is not sold, and the application is approved, assuming the “Medicaid” rate is $7,000 per month, the equity in the home would not be wiped out until approximately 107 months. In other words, it would take twice as long to lose all of the value of the home. The Medicaid rate is what MassHealth actually pays to the nursing home each month. The daily rate paid is based upon the level of care provided to the applicant. In this example, if the MassHealth recipient died in the nursing home after 36 months, the payback to MassHealth would only be $252,000, leaving $498,000 in equity for the family members upon the applicant’s death. In this example, I am assuming the applicant is single. If married, the house can simply be transferred to the spouse who is still living at home. So it pays to at least look at your options when dealing with the home and MassHealth eligibility. It also makes a lot of sense to consider transferring your home to an irrevocable Medicaid-qualifying Trust. In that case, after the fi ve year look-back period is over, the house will be protected. This would avoid probate and also any Estate Recovery Lien. MassHealth estate recovery only applies to the probate estate, not assets held in Trust. Joseph D.

She attended Immaculate Conception Grammar School and is a graduate of Girls Catholic High School. Jean’s spiritual life was important to her. She was a lifelong parishioner of Immaculate Conception Church where she married her husband, Richard “Eddie” Murphy of Chelsea, in 1961. She was from a close-knit Italian American family to whom she stayed close as they settled in Malden near her parents, with other extended family members nearby. Jean was a strong, independent woman who worked hard as a devoted mother raising two strong and independent children. As her children grew, she ventured back out into the professional working world, becoming a bank teller at Malden Savings Bank which later became Medford Savings Bank. She enjoyed her work and the group of women with whom she worked, keeping in touch and socializing with them until she could no longer do so. She was a talented seamstress as well as a good cook and baker. She loved reading romance novels and historical fi ction, had a passion for theatre and enjoyed going to the movies. She had a great laugh that could be heard when watching silly Woody Allen movies. She was very active and almost daily, you could fi nd her walking the neighborhood and surrounding area at quite a pace. She enjoyed shopping and had a great appreciation for a good bargain.

Paul McMurtry (D-Dedham). “This simple language change will assure that surviving family members receive the tax benefi t they are deserving of and what I believe was the original intention of the exemption." TAX INCENTIVE FOR URBAN AGRICULTURE (H 2852) – Would promote urban agriculture and horticulture by allowing Gateway cities as well as cities and towns, with populations of more than 50,000, to exempt from property taxes any land of two acres or less that is used for commercial urban agriculture and horticulture. Additionally, the parcel must have had at least $500 in gross sales of agricultural or horticultural products in the prior year to be eligible for the tax exemption. “Rep. Vanna Howard (D-Lowell) and I fi led this bill together to support small-scale urban agriculture, which expands access to healthy food and promotes economic growth in cities,” says co-sponsor Rep. Hannah She also enjoyed traveling and had quite a few adventures with her husband, her sisters and her daughters, traveling from places as close as New England and New York City to places across the country like San Francisco and the Grand Canyon and across the pond to England and Italy. She will be deeply missed by her family. Relatives & friends were invited to attend her funeral from the Breslin Funeral Home, Malden on Tuesday June 25th followed by her Funeral Mass celebrated at Immaculate Conception Church, Malden.

Entered into eternal life on Sunday, July 21, 2024 in his dream house in Waterboro, Maine after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 59 years of age. Born in Melrose, Paul lived in Malden. He earned his Associate's Degree. Paul was retired from the United States Postal Service as a letter carrier. He was also the former owner and operator of Superior Painting and Construction Company. Paul is survived by his devoted mother, Rachel Dantone Glass; his beloved and devoted wife, Mary S.

By incentivizing urban agriculture, this bill will help cities obtain the benefi ts of these operations.” INCREASE PARKING FINES (H 3326) – Would allow cities and towns to double the maximum fi ne for some parking violations. Current law sets a maximum fi ne for many violations at $50 if paid within 21 days, $55 if paid after 21 days and $75 if paid after the parking clerk reports the parking offense and fi ne to the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The bill increases the fi nes to $100 if paid within 21 days, $110 if paid after 21 days and $150 if paid after the parking clerk reports the parking offense and fi ne to the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Rep. Susan Giff ord (R-Wareham), the bill’s sponsor, says the current maximum fines have not been changed since 2004, nearly twenty years ago. “This bill does not establish any minimum fi nes or mandate an increase in any existing fi nes,” continued Giff ord. "It merely gives communities the option to adopt policies that better suit local needs and enforcement dren, Paul M.

Can you write an awarness piece on the aff ects extreme heat has on older adults, and what they can do to guard against this summertime risk. Thanks for helping keep seniors safe! Health Advocate Dear Advocate, Happy to oblige! Most people don’t realize that each year, extreme summertime heat kills more people in the U.S. than hurricanes, fl oods and tornadoes combined. While extreme heat can be deadly for anyone, older adults are uniquely vulnerable because of three key factors: biological changes that occur with age; higher rates of age-related diseases; and greater use of medications that can alter the body’s response to heat. Here’s how to gauge the risk for a heat-related illness for you or an older loved one and how to stay safe. How Heat Aff ects Seniors The human body has two main mechanisms to cool itself: sweating and increasing blood fl ow to the skin. In older adults, both of those processes are compromised. Seniors sweat less and they have poor circulation compared with younger people. Chronic health conditions that are more common in old age, most notably cardiovascular disease and diabetes, can also exacerbate these issues. A diseased heart isn’t able to pump as much blood, further reducing blood fl ow to the skin. And if the nerves become aff ected in people with diabetes, the body might not receive the message that it needs to start sweating. As people age, they also stop feeling as thirsty and so they tend to drink less. In hot conditions, that can cause them to become dehydrated faster. In addition, some older adults, particularly if they have some form of dementia or cognitive decline, may not perceive temperature changes as well. As a result, they won’t respond appropriately to heat, both biologically (through sweating) and behaviorally (by moving to someplace cool). Finally, certain medications many seniors take like diuretics and other high blood pressure drugs can aff ect people’s hydration, blood fl ow and even the sweat response, so be sure to ask your doctor about any medications you’re taking. How to Stay Safe On hot days, older adults and people with serious health conditions should limit outdoor activities like walking and gardening to the cooler mornings and evenings, take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water even if you aren’t thirsty. Listen to your body. If the activity starts to feel harder than normal, that’s a signal to stop and fi nd a place to cool down. Signs of dehydration or heat exhaustion include dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, fl ushed face, a racing heart or feeling lethargic. Low energy is especially important to watch out for in people with cognitive impairment, who may not realize how hot they are or be able to express it. If heat exhaustion worsens to a heatstroke, it becomes a life-threatening emergency. While older adults face unique challenges when it comes to heat, the ways to cool down are the same for any age. If you or a loved one start to experience any of the above symptoms, the best thing you can do is to go somewhere that has air-conditioning. If AC isn’t available in the home, check if there’s a local cooling center. In the absence of air-conditioning, water is extremely helpful in reducing the risk for heat-related injury. Rubbing an ice cube or cold compress over your skin, spraying yourself with cool water or taking a cool shower or bath can also help. For more heat related safety tips, visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website at CDC.gov/extreme-heat. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
