If enacted, it would not aff ect offi cials already in offi ce who have exceeded that number of terms. “I know Councillor Silvestri suggested this motion, and I know it is part of his campaign slogan, and I can certainly appreciate that I think many people have a view on this,” said Ward 4 Councillor Patrick Keefe. “I always take the view that the voters have the right to choose to elect, and if they want a councillor to be elected for more than MARC SILVESTRI Councillor-at-Large a certain amount of time, then that is the right of the voter, and I would not want to take that away from them.” Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky said he agrees with Keefe. “I think it’s a tough call, and I appreciate Councillor Silvestri putting it in, but I just don’t think it is the right thing for Revere,” he said. VOTE | SEE Page 21 Ciaramella lays out process for street paving D By Adam Swift ivvying up the state Chapter 90 funds for roadway projects evenly between the city’s six wards isn’t as simple as picking a stretch of road to pave in each section of the city. Monday night, the City Council’s Public Works Subcommittee discussed a motion made by Ward 5 Councillor Al Fiore requesting that the Chapter 90 funds be used evenly between wards. Typically, the city gets about $1 million per year from the state for road improvement projects. Water and Sewer Superintendent Don Ciaramella appeared before the subcommittee to talk about how the city has shifted the focus of road paving projects in recent years to making sure they are done in conjunction with underground water, sewer and utilities infrastructure projects. “I have reservations about paving over any old utilities,” said Ciaramella. He said if a water main breaks under a newly paved street, crews will have to dig it up to repair the mains. “People are going to be, like, ‘These guys don’t know what they are doing; we just got a new street,’ and it’s just disheartening,” he said. “Right now, we are just trying to do as many water mains as we possibly can.” Ciaramella noted that it’s only been in recent years that the city has turned its focus on replacing its 107 miles of aging water main infrastructure. In the past decade, he said, the city has replaced about four miles of the mains. “Prior to that, there was a lot of nothing; you can quantify the water main replacements in footage prior to that,” Ciaramella said. While the focus is on fixing major areas of concerns and paving those areas, Ciaramella said his department is cognizant of trying to spread the larger projects out throughout the city as much as it can. “I have areas I really want to do, and I’ve asked National Grid to do a gas trench,” he said. “We have one right now on Ambrose [Street] that has a gas trench and pretty soon will have a water trench, so now we have two trenches, but we are going to pave it this year. We shouldn’t have to go back to that street because the gas is new, the water will be new and we’re going to pave it.” In assessing the areas for underground utility replacements and paving, Ciaramella said the city also has to take drainage into account. “That’s the other sticking point,” he said. “You go to a street and you fi nally get the gas replaced, you get the water replaced and the drainage is marginal at best, or there isn’t any.” Even with those caveats in place, Ciaramella said there will be a number of streets paved in the city this year, and plans are being drawn up for areas that will see water main and paving projects next year. “We’re going to do as much as we can, as fast as we can, but we have to make sure we are not putting new asphalt on top of utilities they are going to be digging up,” he said. The Public Works Subcommittee voted to put Fiore’s motion on fi le, meaning the City Council will take no immediate action on it.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2022 Page 3 Conservation Commission gives okay for Ambrose Park project By Adam Swift A t its meeting last Wednesday night, the Conservation Commission gave its okay for the city to get underway with renovations to Ambrose Park. The commission determined that there will be no significant removal of fi ll or dredging as a part of the project. “We are making renovations to Ambrose Park,” said Elle Baker, the city’s open space and environmental planner. “The renovations are to an existing site to repair and replace existing structures.” The mulch in the playground will be removed and replaced with poured-in-place rubber, and there will also be an addition of some green space to the park and some drainage improvements, said Baker. “The entire design for the playground is for accessibility and inclusivity, which is why we are changing the mulch to pouredin-place rubber so we are in compliance with the state requirements for that,” said Baker. “All of the equipment has been designed in partnership with the Commission on Disability here in the city of Revere to make sure we are selecting equipment that suits the needs for all to be included.” Near the end of 2020, the City Council approved a resolution allowing the city to fi le for a $273,900 Parkland Acquisitions Northeast Metro Tech carpentry students take on dugout construction projects WAKEFIELD – Baseball fields in three communities served by Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational School (Northeast Metro Tech) will soon boast brand new dugouts, once the work of juniors and seniors in the school’s carpentry program is done. Last summer, Reading Little League President Mike Wondolowski reached out to Northeast's Department Head of Carpentry, Richard McGuiness, to inquire about students' availability to construct new dugouts for the town's little league program. Wondolowski reached out after seeing the strong work Northeast students did to construct two dugouts at North Reading High School, which students completed between November 2020 and March 2021, and hoped for similar results in Reading. Work on two dugouts at Hunt Field in Reading is ongoing, and students will build another two dugouts at a field elsewhere in town. The construction on Reading's dugouts is happening at the same time as work to build similar facilities at Northeast's own baseball fi eld. "These projects are a combination of two of my passions -- carpentry and baseball -- and it's so gratifying to see our students' work not only have an impact on our sending communities, but also right here on campus," Northeast's varsity baseball coach and carpentry instructor Bob Calla said. "I've long hoped to see dugouts for our baseball team, and I'm so glad to see them becoming a reality thanks to our students' hard work." Once work on Reading's dugouts is complete, students will move on to building two dugouts at Revere High School through a partnership with Revere's Parks and Recreation Department. "Our carpentry students have developed a reputation for themselves, and there's clearly now a demand for their work in this area," Superintendent David DiBarri said. "I'm so proud of all of the students who have contributed to making a tangible impact on the baseball programs at Northeast and in the communities Northeast serves." The dugouts are the result of eff orts by 41 Northeast students representing the communities of Revere, Chelsea, Wakefield, Woburn, Malden, Melrose, Saugus and Stoneham. and Renovations for Communities grant from the state to renovate the park. The remainder of the anticipated $415,000 cost of the restoration project will be covered by a Community Development Block Grant. The Ambrose Park proposed project goals include introducing a fully ADA accessible facility with additional focus on special needs and middle school accommodations. Highlights of the project include the demolition and removal of existing structures to be replaced by the new inclusive play structures, entry gates and fence repairs, security lighting, a perimeter ADA walkway, ADA curb cuts, new benches, fi ve new shade trees and new handicap parking. “It’s definitely needed over there,” said Conservation Commission Member Nicholas Rudolph. “I lived in that neighborhood as a kid, and I’m glad to hear it’s going to be renovated.” Lawrence A.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2022 Page 9 Sandra Porrazzo and Catherine Penn are April’s Public Servants of the Month M ayor Brian Arrigo on Tuesday announced Sandra Porrazzo and Catherine (Cathy) Penn as April’s Public Servants of the Month. Sandra and Cathy both work at the front desk at to you? Sandra: It’s a great city – I love it here and I brought my family up here. My husband and I, Louis, will be married 48 years this year. I have two sons, Lou Jr., able to accomplish in the City of Revere and the City of Chelsea. Cathy: My fi rst inauguration to City Hall, greeting residents as they enter with questions about city services. Every day, with a smile on their face and a willingness to help Revere residents, Sandra and Cathy take time out of their retirement to give back to their community. Both lifelong Revere residents with lengthy careers preceding this position, Cathy and Sandra love and care for their community, making them both clear choices for this month’s Public Servant of the Month. Q: Can you tell us what you do in the City of Revere and your career prior? Sandra: I’ve lived in Revere since 1959 and graduated from Revere High School in 1966. I spent the beginning of my career working for insurance agents. In the 90’s, I started to work for the City of Revere as the Director of Consumer Affairs. In 2000, I started working in the City of Chelsea and was the Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent for 15 years. I retired in 2015, and now I work at the front desk at Revere City Hall as a greeter. I get to see a lot of people every day and a lot of old friends. Cathy: My career has always been a teacher. In between, I was elected to the City Council where I served four terms. After leaving, I returned to teaching where I taught for 30 years and retired. After retirement, I wanted to continue working in the City, and when the Mayor asked me to join the front desk, it was the perfect job for me. I said yes right away. Q: What does Revere mean an attorney, and Christopher, a guidance counselor at the Rumney Marsh Academy, who married my daughters-in-law Bethany and Stefanie. Between the two of my children, I have four beautiful grandchildren growing up in the city named Emily, Jack, Luke and Mason. The people in Revere are very friendly, and you have beautiful Revere Beach. I just love it here – I can’t picture myself living in any other city. Revere is home. Cathy: Revere means everything to me. I love Revere – you could not let me move; you’ll have to carry me out! People are so friendly and so nice. I can’t imagine being anywhere else. For example, when my husband passed, I frequently went to restaurants alone – there was always someone there to chat with. There are some people who have never seen the ocean and here we have it right in our backyard. My family was raised in Revere; my brother had a business in Revere. My daughter Marcy and her husband Brian raised my grandson, Nicholas, who just got his Doctorate. My husband was a Revere City Councilor and so was my father. Revere is part of who I am. Q: What's the highlight of your career thus far? Sandra: When I worked in Chelsea, I worked for the Superintendent. It was hard to raise both a family and work full time, but I’m proud of the way I was able to handle it. Between running around with them at basketball practice, track meets and more, and working full time, I am still proud of the work I was the City Council sticks out to me because it was so thrilling. I was the fi rst woman Council President in the City of Revere, and at that time it was very diffi cult to maneuver the politics of it all as a woman. I love politics, always have, and I am very committed to Mayor Arrigo and think he’s doing a great job. I also loved my teaching career. It taught me so much. Q: What does public service mean to you? Sandra: Public service is helping people. My husband and I are both retired, but I like being out and interacting with people. When this position was offered to me, I said yes because it was right up my alley. For a few years I also worked in the Police Station, and it is so great to talk to people and guide them with their questions. Public service is really all about community and helping people. Cathy: Public service, to me, means helping people. Community is a huge part of Revere, and it should always be that way. Q: If you could give the future of Revere one piece of advice, what would it be? Sandra: Work hard, always be considerate and helpful to people. If you do that, you won’t have any problems. Before this interview finishes, I want to thank Mayor Arrigo and his very capable assistant Jackie for this great honor. Cathy: Buy property if you can! Make sure we do things to keep the air clean because climate change is a big issue. —Would you like to nominate someone for Public Servant of the Month?

Page 12 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2022 Revere girls’ lacrosse team opens season 1-2 By Greg Phipps U nder fi rst-year Head Coach Amy Rotger, the Revere High School girls’ lacrosse team seems to be making noticeable improvement. The Patriots opened their 2022 season with three games in three days late last week. The trio of backto-back road contests ended with one victory – a 9-6 triumph at Somerville last Friday. Revere dropped its season-opener at Gloucester by a 16-2 count last Thursday, but that game was more competitive than the score indicated. Revere fell to 1-2 overall after losing to Cambridge last Saturday. In the win at Somerville, Angela Huynh scored four times, followed by two goals by Skyla DeSimone and one each from Hadia Bellemisch, Lynberlee Lang and Zoey LeGrand. Goalie Aya Elkawakibi played well in net to earn the victory. Rotger said the Somerville victory was a great team eff ort. “We are just continuing to work to get better and improve,” she said. In the loss at Gloucester, the Patriots trailed 7-1 at halftime but managed to threaten the Gloucester end on numerous occasions. The home team’s goalie came up with several key saves to keep Revere at arm’s length. Gloucester was able to take advantage of its scoring opportunities and pulled away in the second half. Other members of this year’s team include: Dania Alvarez, Sophia Zari, BriRevere defender Angelina Marin scanned the field for a teammate to pass to last Thursday against Gloucester. ana Mendieta, Gweneth Ke, Hana Aklog, Emanuelle Menezes, Angelina Marin, Melisa Devedzic, Leena Menkah, Dianne Mancio, Marianna Tamayo, Chantal Fontanelli, Shirley Rodriguez and Mariah Rogers. The road show continued for the Patriots as they traveled to Georgetown on Friday. They continue on the road to face Medford on Tuesday, April 12. Revere plays its fi rst home game on Friday, April 15, at Harry Della Russo Stadium. Patriots open season with split vs. Lynn teams By Greg Phipps F acing both the Lynn Classical Rams and Lynn English Bulldogs on back-to-back days at home to open the 2022 season, the Revere High School baseball team lost a close one in the opener and regrouped with a win the next day. After struggling to get much going off ensively in a 3-1 loss to the Rams on Monday, the Patriots came alive with the bats to produce a 6-2 victory against the Bulldogs on Tuesday. Head Coach Mike Manning called Tuesday’s eff ort a “nice bounce back win,” as Revere benefi ted from a complete-game, seven-inning performance from starting pitcher Kyle Cummings, a sophomore. Cummings struck out 12 batters and allowed just one earned run on fi ve hits. On off ense, sophomore Andrew Leone smacked two hits and drove in two. Fellow sophomore Ollie Svendsen launched two sacrifi ce fl ies to bring home two more runs in the victory. The 1-1 Patriots are scheduled to participate in their third consecutive Greater Boston League (GBL) clash next Monday, April 11, at Medford. In Monday’s season-opening defeat to Classical, Revere drew fi rst blood when a long double to left fi eld off the bat of Max Doucette led to a run in the bottom of the third inning. That run gave the Patriots a 1-0 lead after three frames. The visiting Rams were able to battle back with three unanswered tallies to exit Revere pitcher Giancarlo Miro hurled three scoreless innings in his openingday start on Monday against Lynn Classical. (Advocate photos by Greg Phipps) with the victory. Overall, Revere was kept pretty quiet on off ense, but the pitching performed well in the losing cause. Starter Giancarlo Miro hurled three scoreless frames, and Chris Cassidy and Domenic Boudreau combined to work four strong innings in relief. Leone also collected two hits. The Patriots are on the road for a busy schedule of games early next week. After Monday’s game at Medford, they play their fi rst non-league contest at Swampscott next Tuesday, April 12. Revere completes the trifecta with a league game at Chelsea on Wednesday, April 13. Revere’s Zoey LeGrand tried to head off the rush of a Gloucester forward in last Thursday’s season opener. (Advocate photos by Greg Phipps) Revere’s Max Doucette followed his long double to left fi eld in Monday’s season opener at Revere High School. Midfi elder Skyla DeSimone took off after retrieving the ball deep in Revere territory last Thursday at Gloucester. Revere fi rst baseman Domenic Boudreau planted the tag on a Lynn Classical baserunner during this pickoff attempt on Monday.

Leaving it in their hands is, I feel, the right thing to do.” In other business, the subcommittee quickly voted to support a motion presented by Ward 5 Councillor Al Fiore to honor the fi rst women elected to the council with their portraits in the council chambers. The original motion by Fiore garnered some discussion by the full council at last week’s meeting. Fiore proposed installing portraits of the fi rst elected female ward councillors, Rita Singer and Elvira “Vera” Curcio, and the fi rst elected female atlarge councillor, Linda Santos Rosa. Keefe said there are many trailblazing women the city could honor, but said he believed Fiore’s motion was well intentioned and served the purpose he was looking for. “I think your motion as you mentioned meant something to you, and I will support your motion as you initially suggested,” said Keefe.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2022 Page 17 GREATER BOSTON LEAGUE NOTEBOOK: Everett's Fuccillo hurls no-hitter in Tide girls’ softball opener win over Malden Robertson (6 goals) lift Malden over Lynn Classical in 12-6 Tornado boys lacrosse opener New coaches along with new season for Revere High girls’ lacrosse, softball teams By Jason Mazzilli at Macdonald Stadium in Malden. Malden High sophomore Chad RobCeleste Fuccillo was untouchable on the mound for Everett High School girls’ softball Monday, going the distance with a no-hitter in the Crimson Tide's home season and league opener. The Lady Tide girls also got the job done at the plate in the 7-0 season opening victory. Fuccillo took charge of the game on the fi rst pitch and did not let up until the last, striking out 12 on the day in the Greater Boston League opener for both teams. Host Everett went ahead, 2-0, in its fi rst at bat RBIs going to freshman Gianna Masucci (sacrifi ce fl y) and junior Kayla Rossi (fi elder's choice). Jayla Davila (reached base on error) and Emma Longmore (walk) scored the fi rst two Everett runs. Fuccillo dominated the fi rst three innings, striking out fi ve Tornados, while showing her stuff defensively with four infi eld assists for outs. Everett tacked on two more runs for a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth. Freshman Emilia Maria-Babcock (single) and Mason (single) both scored on a twoout single by Davila to make it, 4-0. Fuccillo closed out the Malden fi fth inning with two strikeouts and got a great play at shortstop followed by a nice stretch for the ball at fi rst base by Mason to preserve the shutout. The Crimson Tide extended the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning. Junior Kristi Skane drew a walk, but was out on a fi elder’s choice to second on a grounder by Babcock, who reached fi rst. Emilia stole second base, advancing to third on a Mason single. Everett pitcher Fuccillo helped her own cause, scoring Babcock on a groundout to fi rst and Mason scored on an error. Davilia scored on a Longmore RBI single to make it a commanding 7-0 lead. Fuccillo struck out two more Tornados and then got the fi nal out of her historic day on a grounder to fi rst to fi re up the postgame celebration. Everett was scheduled to meet GBL rival Chelsea Tuesday in its next game and will host non-league opponent Latin Academy on Saturday at Glendale Park at 11:00 a.m. *** Everett hosts Lynn Classical at Glendale on Monday, April 11 and is at Lynn English next Wednesday, April 13. Both games are 4:00 p.m. starts. Malden was rained out Wednesday, but hosts GBLer Chelsea in its home opener Monday, April 11 at 4:00 p.m. at Callahan Park, Malden. **** Robertson (six goals) leads Malden past Lynn Classical in boys’ lacrosse opener It started fast and the pace was much to host Malden’s liking as the Golden Tornado boys’ lacrosse took an early lead and never looked back in a 12-6 win over Lynn Classical. It was the season opener on March 31 ertson scored his team's fi rst two goals, both inside of the fi rst two minutes, to stake Malden a 2-0 lead. This would be a good indicator of a big day for Robertson overall, as he ended up being Malden's top producer with six goals overall for the Golden Tornado team. Malden led 6-2 after the fi rst quarter and 7-4 at the half as Lynn Classical made a bit of a comeback in the second quarter to pare down Malden's lead. Robertson scored another goal in the second quarter and one each in the third and fourth quarters to continue to pace the Malden scoring. Making his debut in the Malden High net was senior goaltender Aidan Jordan, who played a strong game with 12 saves to pace the Tornado defense. Malden's scheduled game with Cambridge Rindge and Latin, a non-league matchup, was postponed last Friday. The Tornados were scheduled to play yesterday on the road at Somerville High at 4:00 p.m. in a Greater Boston League matchup. Malden stayed busy with another nonleague road trip today, at Salem High at 4:00 p.m. The Tornados have two GBL home games next week, hosting Revere on Tuesday, April 12 at 4:00 p.m. and Medford on Thursday, April 14 at 4:00 p.m. **** Two new coaches for Spring for the Revere High School athletic program in girls’ lacrosse, and girls’ softball teams There’s a pair of new faces in Revere High athletics this spring, as new coaches take the helm in girls’ softball and girls’ lacrosse. In softball, former longtime assistant coach Megan O'Donnell now heads up the softball program, with big shoes to fi ll as highly-successful now former head coach Joe Cicarello resigned this past year when he moved on to a teaching position in Peabody. Cicarello has led Revere High softball for the past 12 seasons, with 11 consecutive MIAA Division 1 State Softball Tournament appearances.

PO Box 490407, Everett, MA 02149 sent to the Senate a $250 million package that includes authorizing $200 million in onetime funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges in cities and towns across the state. The package, a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed by the state through the sale of bonds, also includes $150 million to pay for bus lanes, improvement of public transit, electric vehicles and other state transportation projects. Supporters said the funding will help cities and towns make their streets and bridges safer for all drivers and will improve the state’s public transportation system. They noted that this funding, known as Chapter 90, is relied on every year by local communities but noted that this is not the only source of local aid for cities and towns. Geoff Beckwith, the executive director of the Massachusetts Municipal Association, is one of the biggest advocates for more Chapter 90 funding above the $200 million. “We are pleased that Chapter 90 and other important municipal transportation grant programs have been advanced by the House,” said Beckwith. “This is timely action to make sure that these funds are available for the upcoming construction season, and we look forward to continuing to work with lawmakers to address the long-term needs for local roads.” Many local offi cials across the state continue to advocate for additional money to increase the funding and argue that the cost of repairing roads has increased by up to 40 percent but the state has kept this funding fl at at $200 million for the past 11 years. Rep. Bill Strauss (D-Mattapoisett), the House chair of the Transportation Committee and the sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call for a comment. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes ANOTHER $25 MILLION FOR ROADS AND BRIDGES (H 4638) House 28-128, rejected an amendment that would provide an additional $25 million to cities and towns in one-time funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges across the state. This would be in addition to the $200 million already included in the spending package. “Roads are one of the biggest complaints we get from our constituents,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Kelly Pease (RWestfi eld). “I believe that elected offi cials need to make dedicated road funding to our cities and towns a priority. Chapter 90 funding has not been increased for the last 11 years. Cities and towns throughout the commonwealth continue to take more and more money out of their budgets to try and keep up with the increasingly poor road conditions. This and schools are usually the biggest factors in property taxes going up. Again, I believe this issue needs to be one of our top priorities at the Statehouse.” Opponents noted that the package already contains $200 million for roads and bridges and an additional $150 million for other local transportation projects. They said that the current formula, created decades ago, for distribution of the funds is considered unfair by many cities and towns. They argued the House should wait until an attempt is made to change the formula so that the additional $25 million will be distributed in a fairer manner. Rep. Bill Strauss (D-Mattapoisett), the House chair of the Transportation Committee and the sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call for a comment. (A “Yes” vote is for the $25 million. A “No” vote is against the $25 million). Rep. Jessica Giannino No “CROWN ACT” - FORBID DISCRIMINATION AGAINST A PERSON WITH A NATURAL HAIRSTYLE (S 2796) Senate 40-0, approved a bill that would prohibit any person or entity including educational institutions, workplaces and public spaces from implementing any policy that would explicitly target someone who wears their natural hairstyle. The measure defines natural hairstyle as hair texture, hair type and protective hairstyles including braids, locks, twists and other formations. The House has approved a diff erent version of the measure and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration. “Today’s passage of the Crown Act is a symbol from the Massachusetts Legislature that we stand with women of color who have experienced hair discrimination,” said Sen. Adam Gomez (D-Springfi eld). “As a father to young women of color this legislation means a great deal to me, but legislation is just the fi rst step. In order to change hearts and minds, you have to ensure that people know that this exists, that it is deeply wrong and that it is something that many women of color have … experience with.” “On the long march toward justice, and especially racial justice, the Senate’s unanimous passage of this legislation marks another step forward,” said Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester). “We would not be at this point without the great courage and strength of Mya and Deanna Cook, who as 15-year-old students faced discrimination and abuse from their high school for their hairstyles, and bravely stood up for their rights and those of so many other Black women.” “Today, an African-American woman with natural hair voted on the Crown Act,” said Sen. Lydia Edwards (D-East Boston), referring to herself. “This is a perfect example of when the personal becomes political. I am grateful to Maya and Deanna and so many Black women who spoke up through and for our hair. This makes our commonwealth stronger and affi rms our belief that we should be judged on the content of our character. Today’s politics is especially a blood sport so to see both houses and both parties come together for justice is especially meaningful.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes TEMPORARY LICENSE PLATES (S 2797) Senate 39-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that would allow car dealers in Massachusetts to provide temporary license plates for vehicles that are purchased by out-ofstate residents and allow them to use the plates until the vehicle can be driven to and registered in their home state. The measure would direct the Registry of Motor Vehicles to design, issue and regulate the use of the license plates. Supporters said that under current regulations, out-ofstaters leave the dealership after a purchase and are forced to BEACON | SEE Page 15

Mike Rush (D-Boston), the bill’s sponsor, said the measure recognizes the growing business of online auto sales especially in New England which has a very compact set of states. He noted the legislation will bring in an estimated $75 million to the state in new sales tax revenue and noted that almost all states currently allow this. “I [am] a proud sponsor of [the bill],” said Rush. “As state senator representing the Norfolk and Suff olk district, I have the privilege of representing the largest stretch of auto dealers in Eastern Massachusetts, the Norwood ‘Auto Mile.’ This legislation will enhance auto sales throughout our commonwealth.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill). Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes 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 fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.

How to Choose a Medicare Advantage Plan Dear Savvy Senior, I will be 65 and eligible for Medicare in a few months and am interested in getting a Medicare Advantage plan to cover my health care and medications. What tips can you provide to help me pick a plan? Ready to Retire Dear Ready, Medicare Advantage plans have become very popular among retirees over the past 15 years, as nearly half of all new Medicare enrollees are signing up for Advantage plans, which accounts for about 42 percent of the entire Medicare market. Here are some tips and tools to help you pick a plan that fi ts your needs. First, let’s start with a quick review. Medicare Advantage plans (also known as Medicare Part C) are government approved health plans sold by private insurance companies that you can choose in place of original Medicare. The vast majority of Advantage plans are managed-care policies such as HMOs or PPOs that require you to get your care within a network of doctors. If you join an Advantage plan, the plan will provide all of your Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) coverage like original Medicare does. But many plans also off er extra benefi ts like dental, hearing and vision coverage along with gym/fi tness memberships, and most plans include prescription drug coverage too. Medicare Advantage plans are also cheaper than if you got original Medicare, plus a separate Part D drug plan and a Medigap policy. Many Advantage plans have $0 or low monthly premiums and don’t always have a deductible, but they also typically have a high out-ofpocket maximum. In 2021, Advantage plan participants on average were responsible for a maximum of around $5,100 for in-network care, and about $9,200 when outof-network care is included. How to Choose To help you pick a plan, a good fi rst step is to call the offi ce managers of the doctors you use and fi nd out which Advantage plans they accept, and which ones they recommend. Then go to the Medicare Plan Finder tool at Medicare.gov/ plan-compare to compare Advantage plans in your area. This tool provides a fi ve-star rating system that evaluates each plan based on past customer satisfaction and quality of care the plan delivers. When comparing, here are some key points to consider: Total costs: Look at the plan’s entire pricing package, not just the premiums and deductibles. Compare the maximum out-of-pocket costs plus the copays and coinsurance charged for doctor offi ce visits, hospital stays, visits to specialists, prescription drugs and other medical services. This is important because if you choose an Advantage plan, you’re not allowed to purchase a Medigap policy, which means you’ll be responsible for paying these expenses out of your own pocket. Drug coverage: Check the plan’s formulary – the list of prescription drugs covered – to be sure all the medications you take are covered without excessive copays or requirements that you try less expensive drugs fi rst. Dental, vision and hearing: Many Advantage plans come with dental, vision and hearing benefi ts, but are usually limited. Get the details on what exactly is covered. Coverage away from home: Most Advantage plans limit you to using in-network doctors only within a service area or geographic region, so fi nd out what’s covered if you need medical care when you’re away from home. Out-of-network coverage: Check to see what’s covered if you want to see a specialist in a hospital that is not in a plan’s network. You can get a list of doctors and hospitals that take part in a plan on the plan’s website. Need Help? If you need help choosing a plan, contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program at ShipHelp.org or call 877-839-2675.

License Commission Opens Food Truck Applications for 2022 Season Businesses who wish to park a food truck in Revere must apply to reserve locations and times prior to April 29, 2022 I n June of 2020, the City of Revere approved an ordinance to allow the operation of mobile food vendors within the city limits. Historically, mobile food vendor operation in Revere was restricted to temporary special events in specifi c areas of the city. Building on the success of these events, the City of Revere is committed to leveraging the mobile food vendor business model, particularly its low start-up costs, to provide an entrepreneurial opportunity to individuals with limited economic resources while simultaneously diversifying the food offerings within the city. The Mobile Food Vendor Program is to be overseen by Maggie Haney, Licensing Administrator in the Offi ce of the License Commission. “I’m excited to have a full season of mobile food vending this year,” said Haney. “I’m hoping for a mostly sunny spring and summer, with a variety of mobile food options brightening up our beach and neighborhoods. The food truck program in the City has greatly expanded since 2020 and I’m looking forward to growing it even further.” The License Commission opened applications for the 2022 food truck season and applications are accepted until the end of April.

VOTE | FROM Page 1 Councillor-at-Large Steven Morabito echoed that it would take rights away from the voters to decide who they want representing them. “While I feel that it is well intentioned, and I understand Marc’s position, I do believe it is a resident’s choice,” said City Council President Gerry Visconti. “If they don’t want one of us up here, they have the right to not put us up here. Leaving it in their hands is, I feel, the right thing to do.” In other business, the subcommittee quickly voted to support a motion made by Ward 5 Councillor Al Fiore to honor the fi rst women elected to the City Council with their portraits in the City Council Chambers. The original motion by Fiore garnered some discussion by the full City Council at last week’s meeting. Fiore proposed installing portraits of the fi rst elected female run from April 4, 2022, through April 29, 2022.
