House passes FY27 budget, invests in programs that support families across the Commonwealth O n April 29, 2026, the Massachusetts House of Representatives passed its Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27) budget. Funded at $63.41 billion, this budget responds to the needs of residents, provides record support for the Commonwealth’s cities and towns and among many critical investments, includes signifi cant funding for education, transportation, health care, housing and workforce development. “As a result of the Trump Administration’s sweeping federal funding cuts and reckless trade war, as well as two proposed ballot questions that seek to cut the Commonwealth’s revenues by more than $5 billion annually, this budget has come during a period of signifi cant economic uncertainty. That’s why I’m incredibly proud of the investments that this budget makes despite those challenges, from funding for free school meals and for the fi nal year of the Student Opportunity Act, to robust support for the MBTA, to nearly $10 billion for cities and towns across the Commonwealth,” said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “I want to thank Chairman Michlewitz and the Members of the House Committee on Ways and Means for all their work this budget cycle, as well as all my colleagues in the House for working to ensure that this budget delivers for every community across Massachusetts.” MASS.

Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2026 Bishop Fenwick announces National Honor Society members for 2026 B ishop Fenwick High School was please to recognize the 137 students from senior, junior and sophomore years who have earned their place as a National Honor Society member for 2026. Among the recipients were three students from Revere: Danielle Nalesnik, class of 2026; Cori McMeniman, class of 2027; Kaylee Sjursen class of 2027. The awards were presented at a ceremony this past Wednesday evening where recipients were celebrated by the school and their families. Students hailed from 30 local communities, and they represent the founding pillars of the organization: scholarship, service, leadership and character. Bishop Fenwick senior honored with Fenwick FIRST Award B Danielle Nalesnik APPROVES | FROM Page 1 Park without having to drive through the adjacent Riverside neighborhood,” DeMauro told the commission. Riverside residents were adamant that they do not want park traffi c cutting through their quiet, isolated neighborhood. “The residents do not want any car access through Riverdale once the park is complete,” Ward 5 Councillor Cori McMeniman Angela Guarino-Sawaya told commissioners. Gibson Park is in the midst of a multiyear resiliency project meant to reduce tidal and storm flooding in Riverside while upgrading the park to a modern recreation space. The project combines natural fl ood protection with park and streetscape improvements. Alexandra Gaspar, an environmental scientist with Kaylee Sjursen Western & Sampson, explained that the access road construction will impact the barrier beach and the coastal dune. However, she added that the project calls for 150 square feet of native plantings and reseeding with coastal grass seed mix. But the commission had other questions. Traffi c engineer Peter Wroblewski from the engineering fi rm Howard Stein Hudson explained that ishop Fenwick High School is delighted to recognize Natalie Bono, Class of 2026, of Revere, as a recipient of a Fenwick FIRST award. A graduate of IC Revere, Natalie exemplifi es the core values that defi ne the Bishop Fenwick community: Faith, Integrity, Relationship, Scholarship and Tradition. The following is part of her nomination: She is kind and welcoming to everyone. She selfl essly puts others’ needs before her own. She is an amazing person, willing to take time out of her busy schedule to help a friend or to spend time with her family. She works hard to maintain good grades in all her courses. An asset to the varsity fi eld the access road has a simple design similar to a long driveway coming off the roundabout. He said construction would start in the summer of 2027 and take only a few months. According to Wroblewski, the road will bring 8,000 square feet of impermeable asphalt to the area. Commission member Thomas Carleton said that is a large amount of asphalt in an area known for fl ooding. hockey and softball teams as well as to several clubs, she also dances outside of school. She is a strong leader and can easily put a smile on anyone’s face. She is hardworking, determined, and overall, an incredible person. Natalie Bono He said he doesn’t feel comfortable that a public project can use so much impermeable asphalt when a private project cannot. He asked about alternatives, such as permeable pavers. “That sounds like a reasonable change we can make,” said Wroblewski. But he added that it is important to check with the city’s Engineering and Public Works Departments. “During plowing, pavers come up buckled and broken. They look beautiful, but in terms of everyday maintenance, it’s diffi cult to keep up with them,” he said. He also added that 25 drains have been installed around the roundabout. As long as public works maintain the drains, flooding should not be a problem. Commissioner Wilson Correa requested a log of the planned planting and reseeding. He was also interested in an account of the survival rates for new plants. A Riverside resident asked about plans to protect birds, fi sh, animals and plants from pollution and noise. She said there are endangered plants in the area. But DeMauro said the plan was reviewed by MEPA and Coastal Zone Management. She said there was no evidence of endangered species or risk to wildlife.
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2026 Page 3 Human Rights Commission Plans Intergenerational Forum to Bridge Community Divide By Barbara Taormina T he Human Rights Commission is moving forward with an event they hope will become a community tradition. Commission members are working with Debra Peczka-DiGuilio, director of Revere Elder Affairs, to plan an intergenerational conversation with senior residents and senior students from Revere High School. By sharing experiences, concerns, challenges and fears, the commission believes it will generate a better understanding between different groups or generations. Peczka-DiGuilio said the plan is to have a moderated panel discussion televised by RevereTV. “It will show us how diff erent, and how much the generations have in common,” Peczka-DiGuilio told the commission at their meeting last week. And Peczka-DiGuilio said the conversation will cover more than seniors telling students about the horror of having one rotary telephone in a home. “Seniors have such a wealth of knowledge, they have so much to give, but I think people don’t want to listen to them. And I think students feel the same way,” said Peczka-DiGuilio. “It’s a way for them to get to know one another and close the gap,” said Commission member Sheila Johnson who is also working on the event. “Our goal is to bridge the gap and facilitate learning between generations.” Commission member Lourenco Garcia, chairman of the Equity Advisory Board for Revere public schools, felt the project supported the commission’s goal of promoting inclusion. Garcia also felt that the project would contribute to the well-being of people watching this type of bridgebuilding conversation take place. Commission Chair Chai Hossaini said she looked forward to seeing what eff ect the conversations might have. “When we start bridging the gap, we will bring some level of change. We won’t see ourselves as diff erent, we are part of the same community,” said Hossaini. Hossanini also saw the potential for practical results from the conversations. If there’s a law or ordinance, local or state, that we want to change, building bridges through these conversations may help build coalitions behind diff erent causes and issues and may lead to real change, she said. The commission is also planning to use their next meeting on June 4 as an early Juneteenth celebration. The event will be held at Costa Park and include music, a spoken word performance, community speakers and an educational program. The commission is celebrating early so that a Juneteenth celebration video can be aired on Revere TV for the entire community on June 19.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2026 Page 5 MASS. HOUSE | FROM Page 1 “I’m proud to support a budget that delivers real results for our communities, from record local aid for our cities and towns to critical investments in transportation, education, and public safety,” said State Representative Jessica Ann Giannino (DRevere). “For communities like Revere and Saugus, this means stronger schools, more reliable transit, and continued support for working families. Even in a time of economic uncertainty, we are making responsible choices that prioritize people, protect essential services, and ensure our municipalities have the resources they need to succeed. I’m grateful to Speaker Mariano and Chair Michlewitz for their leadership in advancing a budget that delivers for every corner of the Commonwealth.” “I am proud to have supported the House budget for FY27. This budget includes important investments in Revere and Winthrop but also unprecedented investments in our transportation and education systems in the Commonwealth. This budget is fi scally sound and keeps the Commonwealth in a strong position to address uncertain economic times ahead,” said State Representative Jeff rey Rosario Turco (D-Winthrop). Due to responsible fi scal management, the House’s FY27 budget is balanced and makes signifi cant investments across several issue areas, without needing to include new taxes or tax increases. The House budget also strengthens the Stabilization Fund, which is set to reach $8.39 billion, reinforcing the state’s bond rating to keep borrowing costs down and save taxpayer money — while protecting the Commonwealth’s longterm fi scal health. Fair Share investments This budget includes $2.7 billion in investments for transportation and education initiatives supported through funding generated by the Fair Share ballot initiative that voters approved in November of 2022, which established a surtax of four percent on annual income above $1 million.

The budget funds Unrestricted General Government Aid (UGGA) at $1.33 billion and Chapter 70 education funding at $7.65 billion. The budget also funds the fi nal year of a six-year implementation plan for the Student Opportunity Act (SOA), which was enacted in 2019 to modernize the state’s school funding formula to better support districts and expand resources for students, particularly those with the greatest needs. The budget increases the minimum aid total to $160 per pupil. Additionally, the budget includes the following education initiatives: SPED Circuit Breaker funded at $805.4M, supporting 100 percent projected reimbursement entitlement; $10M for school districts that have experienced unexpected enrollment reductions in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) students; $57.1M for Regional School Transportation and $62M to fund Non-Resident Vocational and Regional Transportation. Additionally, this budget reforms out-of-district school transportation based on the legislatively mandated review by the Inspector General (IG). The FY27 budget implements the recommendations issued by the IG by: • Requiring DESE to maintain an electronic database for procurement and contract documents, establish best practices for districts and study the special education school marketplace to identify areas to improve transparency and ensure open and fair competition Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

This year, the program will serve 10,000 students across Massachusetts, including over 600 at A.C. Whelan. Massachusetts became the fi rst state in the nation to fund the expansion of The United States of Readers, launching in 2024 across four districts: Quincy, Revere, Holyoke and Framingham. Increased Commonwealth funding has allowed some of Boston’s Title I schools to join, furthering the program’s reach to schools that serve a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The United States of Readers program — founded and delivered by Scholastic through a collaboration with new nonprofi t Impact Reading — aims to bridge the gap of literacy and book inequity, specifically in Title I schools and rural areas where students have little to no opportunity to choose their own books and build their home libraries. Research from the Scholastic Kids & Family Read Author Pam Muñoz Ryan presents with a student at A.C. Whelan Elementary School. A student receives her free book, “Mice and Beans” by Pam Muñoz Ryan, as part of The United States of Readers program. Students listen to author Pam Muñoz Ryan. ing Report™ shows more than 90% of children say their favorite books, and the ones they’re most likely to finish, are the books they choose themselves. “Our mission is to ensure every student has the tools they need to succeed, and a love of reading is at the heart of that foundation,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dianne Kelly. “The United States of Readers program continues to bring extraordinary opportunities directly to our students, and welcoming celebrated author Pam Muñoz Ryan to A.C. Whelan Elementary is a perfect example of that commitment. When young readers get to meet the authors behind the stories they love, it sparks a deeper connection to books and the worlds they open up.” “Revere is a city that believes in its young people, and that starts with making sure they have every opportunity to grow and thrive,” said Mayor Patrick Keefe. “The United States of Readers program is doing exactly that, bringing high-quality books and incredible experiences like today’s author event with Pam Muñoz Ryan directly to our students at A.C. Whelan Elementary. I’m proud to see our community come together to make moments like this possible.” “Reading is one of the most powerful gifts we can give a student,” said State Representative Jessica Giannino. “As a Revere student, I remember how exciting it was to look forward to a new book or the book fair— it was the best part of the day. The United States of Readers program understands that getting the right book into a child’s hands at the right moment can change everything. Programs like this not only build reading skills, but also foster confi dent, curious young people who are ready to take on the world. I’m proud to support initiatives like this that make a meaningful impact for students across Revere and the Commonwealth.” For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 781-286-8500 or Info@advocatenews.net FLEET CARD Check Out Our LOW PRICES!

To alleviate the cost of living, this budget makes investments to lower food costs and ensure access to our most vulnerable populations. It includes $60M for the Emergency Food Assistance Program, $20M for the Massachusetts Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) to provide a dollar-for-dollar match to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients purchasing locally grown healthy food and $11M for the SNAP for Low-Income Workers program, increasing the benefi t to $35 per eligible family.

This budget includes $258.6M for the EA Shelter System, which accounts for $17.1M in savings because of a decreased shelter portfolio and several savings initiatives. The budget also expands protections for children in the shelter system by requiring any child under the age of three to be referred for an Early Intervention evaluation and assessment. Workforce Development and Economic Development The FY27 House budget funds the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development at $112.8M and the Executive Offi ce of Economic Development at $123.9M. Additionally, it invests in the following workforce development initiatives: • $58.4M for Adult Basic Education Services • $20.4M for DTA Employment and Training Services • $17.4M for Summer Jobs for At-Risk Youth • $10M for the Workforce Competitiveness Trust Fund • $8.9M for Career Technical Institutes • $7.9M for One-Stop Career Centers • $6.5M for School-to-Career Connecting Activities • $3.3M for a Registered Apprenticeship Expansion • $3.1M for Career and Technical Education Grants • $1.5M for fi rst-time homebuyer counseling and best lending practices • $1M for Social Enterprise Grants, a new workforce development program This budget requires 7.5 percent of sports wagering revenue to be deposited into the Sports and Entertainment Events Fund, which was created in 2025 to provide competitive matching grants for major sports or entertainment events in the Commonwealth. Based on recommendations issued by the COLA working group that was established in the FY25 budget, the FY27 House budget establishes a funding process to trigger cost-of-living adjustments for retirees in the State Employees’ and Teachers’ Retirement Systems and provides an opt-in for local retirement systems. Energy and Environmental Affairs The House budget includes $477.1M for the Executive Offi ce of Energy and Environmental Aff airs, continuing investments in conservation and sustainable development while keeping the Commonwealth on track to meet its climate goals.

The budget also increases the minimum salary of Assistant District Attorneys to $76,000 a year. The House budget includes $812.1M for the state’s sheriff offi ces, which is a $52.6M increase. The budget takes the fi rst step in an ongoing process toward eliminating funding defi ciencies by adopting reforms that were outlined in the IG’s preliminary recommendations. To better track cost drivers, the budget separates out funding for costs that have been identifi ed as reasons for the defi ciencies: operations, payroll, no cost calls, and medication-assisted treatment. Other criminal justice investments: $33.7M for the Office of Community Corrections; $16.1M for CommunityBased Reentry Services; $6.9M for Emerging Adults Pre-andPost Release Reentry Grants; $52M for Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corp. to provide legal services to the Commonwealth’s most vulnerable populations; $7M for the Immigration Legal Assistance Fund for nonviolent off enders.
