It wasn’t an easy vote. While the committee supported the idea of a cut, about half of the members said they would rather wait and see specifically what was going to be cut from the project. “I would feel more comREFLECTING ON A CALL TO FREEDOM: Pictured from left, City Council President Marc Silvestri, Mayor Patrick Keefe, State Senator Lydia Edwards and State Representative Jessica Giannino at the Memorial Day Ceremonies at McMackin Veterans Memorial Park Monday morning.

Viscay was asked how he arrived at his $10 million fi gure. “I think it’s a reasonable number to start with to bring down the cost of this project” said Viscay. “It’s easy to get to without aff ecting the educational programing.” School Superintendent Dianne Kelly suggested that the committee wait until their June meeting which would allow time to gather a list of cuts to make up the $10 million.

Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 30, 2025 Board of Health discusses tobacco products’ effect on young people Advocate Staff Report B onny Carroll, director of the Six City Tobacco Initiative, met with the Board of Health at their last meeting to update them on the latest generation of nicotine products available in the city. Carroll brought a package of nicotine pouches and some electronic nicotine vapes to show board members. She described the high nicotine content in the products with packaging that includes neon colors and cartoon characters, which demonstrates that teens and young people are the targeted consumers. “We see these everywhere,” Carroll told the board. According to Carroll, research shows that addiction to nicotine is most powerful when it occurs in someone with an undeveloped brain. Carroll said the brain is considered fully developed at age 26. “These companies spend billions of dollars to market these products, and they know they are marketing to young people,” said Carroll. Board member Viviana Catano asked if there has been an increase in hospitalization of young people with health problems linked to new nicotine products. Carroll said that data wasn’t available but added, “There’s so much nicotine in these products, I can’t imagine they are not being poisoned.” Board Chair Dr. Drew Bunker reminded everyone that tobacco and nicotine products can lead to harmful addiction, mental health problems and issues with cardiovascular health.

Mayor Patrick Keefe said the cut would not aff ect the bond 52 — violations issued for overfl owing dumpsters 101 — violations issued for unclean and unsanitary land, including overgrowth and vegetation. Director of Municipal Inspections & Health Agent Michael Wells reminded residents that we are in overgrowth season and lawns need to be maintained throughout the summer. Back on track The board voted to remove the condemnation of homes at 71 Pitcairn St. and 56 Ambrose St. According to Wells, since the board voted to condemn the properties, permits have been pulled and work has been done to rehabilitate the properties. “Sometimes the board has to make tough decisions,” said Wells. “But the result here is properties returned to habitable condition and blights [were] removed from neighborhoods.” authorization and the $10 million would move to the contingency account for any unexpected problems or costs. “It would move to project contingency, and it would live there, and we would try to never touch it,” said Brian Dakin, senior project manager. “We would be reserving it, never aiming to spend it,” he added. Keefe said that contracts for work on the building would be awarded on a percentage basis of the total budget. Thus a $10 million cut would lead to subsequent savings. Still some committee members resisted unspecifi ed cuts. Kelly suggested that because Viscay’s motion wasn’t on the agenda, a vote on it could be a violation of open meeting law. But Keefe said it was a voice motion and there was no violation of open meeting law involved. “I think it’s prudent of us to reduce the budget by $10 million,” said Keefe. “We’ll still be able to do everything we want to do. We will just make sure we can do it within our means.” FLEET CARD Check Out Our LOW PRICES!

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 30, 2025 Page 3 Rep. Giannino honors Richard T. Serino, Sr. at inaugural statewide Military Appreciation Day Special to Th e Advocate S tate Representative Jessica Ann Giannino (D-Revere) proudly honored Revere’s Richard T. Serino, Sr. at the fi rst-ever Military Appreciation Day ceremony held in the Massachusetts State House’s historic House Chamber. Military Appreciation Day was created by the HealeyDriscoll Administration to establish a lasting annual tradition that brings together local, state and community leaders to honor those whose service might otherwise go unrecognized. Each legislator was invited to nominate a member of their local military community — whether a veteran, active-duty service member, National Guard member, Reservist or military spouse — to be honored during the ceremony. More than 125 individuals who exemplify commitment to service and community were recognized from districts across Massachusetts. “Growing up in Revere, I always knew Richie as a police offi cer, the friendly face on the motorcycle who served our community for decades. What I didn’t realize until later in life was the depth of his service to our country as a U.S. Marine during the Vietnam era. Honoring him today at the State House was incredibly special. It was a chance not only to recognize his military service, but also to let him and others like him know that their sacrifi ces have not gone unnoticed. I’m proud to call him a neighbor and even more proud to recognize him as a hero,” said Representative Giannino. Richard Serino, Sr. of Revere is a humble family man — a proud husband, father and grandfather — and he is an equally proud veteran of the US Marine Corps. Richie takes to heart his values, love for his country and the camaraderie of the U.S. Marine Corps that were instilled in him during his service. Richie enlisted in the Marines in the spring 1967 and served for three years during the Vietnam era, being honorably discharged as a Sgt. E-5 in 1970. He left for training at Parris Island on the eve of his 19th birthday on April 4, 1967, and from March 1968 to April 1969 was stationed in Okinawa, Japan. There, he was in the 3rd Force Service Regiment Camp at Camp Courtney, and part of his responsibilities included processing the belongings of the fallen Marines of Vietnam to be sent back to their families in the United States. Upon completion of his military service, Richie returned to Revere, where he continued the path of public service. For over 30 years, he was a patrolman on the Revere Police Department, known around the city as being the motorcycle traffi c offi cer. During his tenure as a police offi cer, he dedicated himself to protecting and serving the community he has called home for his entire life. Richie is a patriotic American and is known around the city and area for making people smile with festive seasonal lawn displays on his home. The ceremony featured remarks from Governor Maura Healey, Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, Veterans Services Secretary Jon Santiago and Senate President Karen Spilka and a keynote address by General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. (Ret.), former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 36th Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps. “This event is about gratitude,” said Governor Healey. “We’re here to honor the everyday heroes — veterans, active-duty service members and military families — whose courage, strength and commitment continue to shape our state for the better. Military Appreciation Day is now a Massachusetts tradition and one we’ll proudly carry forward each year.” “Massachusetts is home to one of the most vibrant, committed military communities in the country,” said Lieutenant Governor Driscoll. “This day is about uplifting the stories and contributions of those who have sacrifi ced so much and showing that their service will never go unrecognized.” “Every day, I meet veterans and military families who continue to lead, serve, and inspire,” said Secretary Santiago. “As we approach Memorial Day, and during a month dedicated to honoring our military, this event refl ects what makes Massachusetts special: a deep respect for service, and a commitment to those who wear the uniform — and those who stand beside them.” “My father’s service in the United States Army defined his life and deeply shaped my HONORED | SEE Page 4 Lawrence A.

Military Appreciation Day refl ects something I’ve long believed: that service is not just what we do in uniform — it’s a lifetime of leadership, character and sacrifi ce,” said General Dunford. “I’m proud to join the Commonwealth in recognizing these remarkable individuals and the values they represent.” The program also featured a powerful performance of the National Anthem by Springfield native and NBC’s “The Voice” fi nalist Michelle BrooksThompson.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 30, 2025 Page 7 Revere’s Prominent and Preeminent, World-Class, Medical Doctors and Medical Scientists By John J. Henry N ow that high school and college graduation season is upon us, looking back over the years at what a number of former students and graduates of Revere’s schools have achieved in higher education and in their chosen professions and career, as they moved on from Revere, has proved to be very interesting. Beginning in the 1950s and extending into the 1980s, five world-class doctors were raised in Revere and received their early education in Revere schools. The question raised: Is their stature as world-class medical doctors and scientists an expression of nature or nurture? The nature versus nurture debate is about which part of a person’s intellect is more important, their inherited qualities, which include genes, or their personal family and environmental life experiences and infl uences relative to the way that they were raised. While the philosophical debate has gone on for thousands of years, whatever the case may be, fi ve prominent and preeminent, world-class doctors and medical scientists had their beginnings and received their early education in Revere. Here are their stories and medical accomplishments and achievements: Dr. Charles A. Dinarello ceiving his Doctor of Medicine degree from Yale in 1969. Following graduation from Yale, he did his clinical training at Massachusetts General Hospital, and until 1996 he was a staff physician at New England Medical Center, as well as a professor of Medicine at Tufts University. Dr. Dinarello also served as a senior investigator at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Dr. Dinarello has also served on the editorial boards of several scientifi c journals and has published over 1,000 original research articles and 250 reviews and book chapters on cytokines, particularly on Interleukin-1 and related cytokines. Cytokines are small proteins that serve as chemical messengers in the immune system of the body to help cells communicate with each other, the socalled “software” that runs the immune system to grow, behave and interact in specific ways, to fi ght allergens, pathogens and harmful substances — fi ghting off diseases and infection — and may be the key to understanding and treating autoimmune disorders. Dr. Dinarello’s pioneering research work focuses on the development of cytokines targeting biological therapies for the treatment of infl ammatory diseases in humans, such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, Parkinson’s disease and the treatment of tumor progression in cancer. Dr. Dinarello is considered one of the founding fathers of cytokines, having purified and been the fi rst to identify Interleukin-1, a protein that helps the body’s immune system fi ght infections. Dr. Dinarello has trained over 50 medical investigators, many of whom are recognized as experts in their fi elds of medicine. The Institute for Science Information has listed Dr. Dinarello as the world’s fourth most cited scientist during the 20 years from 1983-2002. In 1998, Dr. Dinarello was D r. Charles A. Dinarello graduated from Revere High School in 1961; he went on to study at Boston University, graduating in 1965 (magna cum laude). After graduation he entered Yale University, reelected to the United States National Academy of Sciences, and in 2011 he became a foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is a member of the Board of Governors of the Weizmann Institute (Israel) and Ben-Gurion University (Israel). He is also the former Vice President of the American Society of Clinical Investigation, and he also served as President of the International Cytokine Society. He has received honorary degrees from the University of Marseille (France), the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel), the University of Frankfurt (Germany), Roosevelt University (USA), Albany Medical College (USA), Radbound University (Netherlands) and Trinity College (Ireland). For his contributions to the fi eld of Cytokines and medicine, Dr. Dinarello received the Squibb Award (USA), the Ernest Jung Prize in Medicine (Germany), the Chirone Prize (Italian National Academy of Medicine), Carol Nachman Prize (Germany), Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Madktoum Award (United REVERE’S | SEE Page 8

REVERE’S | FROM Page 9 Baghdad on TV, he knew that fi ve million residents of Baghdad were experiencing tragedy on the ground, with no electricity, no water and no sewerage systems. It was a public health crisis. So, in 1991 Dr. Viola founded and directed Medicine for Peace (MFP), a medical relief and advocacy organization dedicated to providing care to victims of war. Dr. Viola and MFP have conducted medical programs during armed conflicts, and natural disasters, in El Salvador, Iraq, Bosnia and Haiti. In 1995, MFP focused on Bosnia, in the wake of the massacre of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys who were killed. MFP launched a schoolbased mental health project and remained in Bosnia providing services for more than fi ve years. MFP’s more recent humanitarian work operates outside the theatre of war. In Haiti MFP established a cervical cancer detection program in mobile clinics and helped to improve the cancer treatment infrastructure of Haiti. Dr. Viola has been Director of Medicine for MFP for more than 25 years. Dr. Viola has received a number of humanitarian awards, including the International Award from the Christian Organization, Pax Christi, which recognizes grassroots activists working against violence and injustice in ongoing confl icts.

He is the recipient of the McGill University Medical Alumni, Global Award for Community Service, for treating patients in war-torn Iraq and Bosnia and for setting up cancer detection clinics in Haiti. The award stated that through his community service Dr. Viola has shown that a physician not only diagnoses ailments but can identify human rights abuses and treats more than just individuals but can rally other doctors to help heal entire populations. Dr. Viola also received the 2019 TASSC International Human Rights Award for providing medical services to alleviate suff ering to survivors of torture. Dr. Viola also received the Princeton University Plasma Physics Laboratory Award for his service in transferring his research from the laboratory to the marketplace, and to the world.

Leonard Guarente attended the Revere Public Schools from 1952-1966. He went on to study at Boston College High School, graduating fi rst in his class in 1970. He subsequently entered Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), graduating in 1974 with a BS degree in biology. Following graduation from MIT he entered Harvard University, graduating in 1978 with a Doctor of Philosophy degree in molecular biology. In 1981 Dr. Guarente returned to MIT as a professor, achieving tenure in 1986. I n 1991 Dr. Guarente launched the Aging Studies Program at the MIT Center on Aging to answer the age-old questions: Why do living things age? What genes infl uence aging? Is it possible to extend youthfulness by means of genetic manipulation? Dr. Guarente has been analyzing these questions throughout his academic career. In 1995 Dr. Guarente developed the theory that longevity genes, which help organisms withstand stressful conditions, off er protective benefi ts that can extend lifespan and improve overall health if activated long enough. Dr. Guarente has shown that the longevity genes produce proteins called Sirtuins, which control a myriad of cells activating or inactivating these proteins. Using this mechanism in response to stress, Dr. Guarente believes Sirtuins can act as a master regulator of cells in response to stress. Dr. Guarente has been focusing his studies on Sirtuins and how they coordinate a variety of hormonal networks, regulatory proteins and other genes, with a net effect of keeping cells alive and healthy. Sirtuins play an essential role in cell survival, energy metabolism, infl ammation and aging and are potential therapeutic targets of type 2 diabetes and cancer. Dr. Guarente has stated that Sirtuins are not likely to substantially extend life but can make a major impact on the extension of our good health. Dr. Guarente feels that Sirtuins could be the key not to how long we live but an improvement in how long we stay healthy, increasing our health span. Dr. Guarente is hopeful that Sirtuin-boosting drugs, which will slow aging, will appear as a pharmaceutical drug within the next 10 to 20 years. In 2000 Dr. Guarente was appointed as Novartis professor of biology at MIT. In 2023 Dr. Guarente authored the book “Ageless Quest, One Scientist’s Search for Genes That Prolong Youth.” Dr. Guarente is currently the Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at MIT. Our fi ve local doctors have risen to both prominence and preeminence in their respective fi elds of medical science. They have made signifi cant contributions to medical science, and they have earned and deserve the deepest admiration of our community for their dedication to medicine. Their contributions to medical science have and will continue to shape medical science now and into the future, ensuring that both current and future generations benefit from their dedicated work as they continue to fulfi ll their responsibility and obligation of what it is to be a doctor, as stated by Hippocrates, the ancient Greek founder of medicine, “That wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity. John J. Henry served as City Clerk of the City of Revere for 32 years from 1977-2009. He has written numerous articles about Revere and its people.

Softball splits down the stretch evere softball came back from a 6-1 defi cit to beat Lynn Classical 10-6 in extra innings, powered by a massive fi ve-hit day from Frankie Reed and clutch late-game heroics across the lineup. Reed went fi ve-for-fi ve with two doubles, three singles and two stolen bases. Her performance helped key a seventh-inning rally that saw Revere put up fi ve runs to tie the game before tacking on four more in the eighth. Caleigh Joyce hit the goahead home run in the top of the eighth to center fi eld, and Jordan Martelli followed with a run-scoring single for insurance. Martelli fi nished threefor-four with three RBI, while Shayna Smith had three hits and a triple that tied the game in the seventh. Danni Hope Randall earned the win in the circle, striking out seven over eight innings while working around seven R hits and fi ve walks. Revere totaled 13 hits and drew seven walks in the comeback win.

Off ensively, Revere struggled against Whittier’s ace, who struck out 18 and didn’t allow a walk. Anna Doucette, Smith and Reed each had a hit, with Doucette driving in Revere’s lone run. As of press time, the Patriots await their MIAA Division 1 playoff fate. Baseball falls to Classical evere baseball finished the season 6-11. The Patriots couldn’t hold an early lead in an 11-4 loss to Lynn Classical. The Patriots struck fi rst in the second inning but surrendered four runs in the fourth and never recovered. George Papalambros took the loss, giving up eight runs (fi ve earned) on seven hits in 4.2 innings. Sergio Peguero had Revere’s lone RBI. Ismael El Gharbi, Christian Flores, Brendan Sack and Domenic Bellia all recorded hits. Revere suffered another tough loss to Medford, falling 19-0 after surrendering 12 runs in the fi rst inning. Medford took advantage of early errors, walks and timely hits to break the game open. The visitors added four more in the second and three in the third. Bellia and Thomas Waldron each had a hit for Revere, and the defense turned a double play. Revere staged a late rally to beat Malden, 8-6, thanks to clutch hitting in the bottom of the fi fth. With the game tied 6-6, El Gharbi ripped a tworun double to give Revere the lead for good. El Gharbi fi nished a perfect three-for-three with two RBIs. Joseph Angiulo also had three hits, and Nicholas Rupp and Sack added two hits apiece. Papalambros earned the win, striking out three and allowing three earned runs over 5.2 innings.

Dept. of Correction Lowers Minimum Age to Become a Correction Officer to 19 M ILFORD — The Massachusetts Department of CorNew Policy Aims to Boost Recruitment and Build Future Workforce said Governor Maura Healey. rection is proud to announce a change in its hiring policy, lowering the minimum age requirement to become a Correction Offi cer from 21 to 19. The adjustment is part of a broader eff ort to expand recruitment, attract younger candidates, and establish a new pathway for individuals interested in a career in public service. The newly established minimum appointment age was implemented to attract motivated candidates who are eager to serve their communities. By expanding the candidate pool, the Department is creating new opportunities for young adults to serve their communities and explore long-term careers in corrections. “Reducing the minimum age to become a Correction Offi cer will allow us to recruit more dedicated, highly skilled workers to these important roles,” “This change will help us build the next generation of corrections professionals to deliver on our goals of protecting public safety and supporting rehabilitation.” “The change in the minimum appointment age allows the DOC to address staff - ing needs while also cultivating a future workforce dedicated to upholding our core values,” said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. “I encourage anyone who is eligible and interested in making a positive impact on public safety to consider pursuing this rewarding opportunity.” “Expanding the candidate pool enhances our ability to inform individuals about the rewarding career opportunities available at the Massachusetts Department of Correction,” said Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy. “It is essential that we adapt and fi nd innovative ways to recruit more professionals into our public safety system.” “The implementation of this age of appointment gives the DOC the fl exibility to bring in more qualifi ed applicants while providing them with early access to a fulfi lling career in corrections,” said DOC Commissioner Shawn Jenkins. “The Massachusetts Department of Correction appreciates working collaboratively with MasMASS.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 30, 2025 Page 23 State Fire Marshal Highlights Summer Fire Safety Grilling, Gasoline, and Smoking Among Outdoor Fire Hazards S TOW—As Massachusetts approaches Memorial Day weekend and the unoffi cial start of summer, State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine is asking residents to practice outdoor fi re safety in the weeks and months ahead. “As the weather gets warmer and we start spending more time outside, outdoor fi res also start to increase,” State Fire Marshal Davine said. “Unfortunately, many of these fi res cause serious injuries and property damage — but almost all of them can be prevented.” Grilling Safety About two-thirds of grilling fi res in Massachusetts occur between May and August. About 75% take place on residential properties — most often one- and two-family homes. Memorial Day is a leading day for cookouts with family and friends, so stay safe when using your gas or charcoal grill: • Always grill outdoors, never inside. • A burning grill should always be attended by an adult. • Never use a gas or charcoal grill on a porch, balcony, or fi re escape. • Place grills at least 10 feet away from buildings and deck railings. Make sure grills are not under eaves or overhanging branches. • Gas grills may be used on fi rst fl oor decks or patios only if there is an outdoor stairway to the ground, or it is at ground level. • Always keep matches, lighters, and lighter fl uid away from children. • Create a three-foot “circle of safety” around grills. Keep children and pets at least three feet away on all sides. When using a gas grill, open the lid before you light it to avoid the ignition of built-up propane. If you smell gas while cooking, turn off the grill, move away, and call 9-1-1 from a safe location. Do not move the grill. Always turn off the burners and close the propane cylinder when you’re done cooking. If using a charcoal grill, only use charcoal starter fluid. Do not use gasoline or kerosene to start a fi re in a grill, and never add any fl ammable liquid to burning briquettes or hot coals. Allow the coals to burn out completely and then cool for 48 hours before disposal. If you must dispose of ashes before they are completely cooled, thoroughly soak them in water before putting them in a metal container. Fire Pits and Chimineas Outdoor burning is prohibited in Massachusetts from May 1 to January 15. While regulations allow exceptions for fi res that are used for cooking, local fi re chiefs and municipalities may prohibit or impose additional restrictions on these fi res, including the use of fire pits and chimineas. Even where allowed, an adult must always be present with the tools necessary to extinguish such a fi re immediately because of the inherent risk. Brush and structure fi res in Agawam, Florida, Goshen, and Haverhill in recent weeks all started with fi re pits that were unattended or improperly used. Any burning that creates a nuisance, a condition of air pollution, or hazard to others is always prohibited. Gasoline Safety Serious gasoline-related burns peak in the summer months, with about 40% reported from June through August. Always be cautious when using gasoline, especially in the area of any heat source: • Gasoline should only be used as fuel for an engine, not as a solvent. • Never use gasoline to start a fi re or add it to any fi re. • Store gasoline only outside the home, such as in a locked shed, and always in an approved container. Never store gasoline in the home or basement. • Refuel lawnmowers, leaf blowers, mopeds, and other devices only when the engine is cool. Never refi ll while it is hot. • Keep gasoline away from all heat sources, such as smoking materials, campfi res, and grills. Smoking Safety Smoking materials have been the leading cause of fi re deaths in Massachusetts for decades, and carelessly discarded cigarette butts are a common factor in structure fi res that start on porches and nearby dry vegetation. Mulch is especially prone to combustion caused by careless smoking. Smoking fi res are particularly dangerous because they may smolder undetected and then erupt into fl ames that grow rapidly. A fi re that starts on a porch, balcony, or exterior stairway can extend to the home before smoke alarms inside detect them and alert you to the danger. “If you still smoke, or if you have guests who do, please do it responsibly,” said State Fire Marshal Davine. “Always use a deep, sturdy ashtray or a can with sand or water. Don’t toss smoking materials into the mulch, leaves, grass, or planters, and don’t stub them out on the porch railing or stairs. Remember to put it out, all the way, every time.” Brush and Wildland Fire Safety Almost all outdoor fi res are caused by human behavior. In the warm, dry weather expected Sunday and Monday, these fi res may spread to dangerous sizes quickly and require numerous fi refi ghting resources to contain and extinguish. And because about 50% of Massachusetts homes are in Wildland-Urban Interface or Intermix zones, outdoor fi res can easily threaten people and property. • Practice fi re safety with grills, fl ammable liquids, smoking materials, and power equipment. • Before setting up a campfi re, be sure it is permitted by checking with the local fi re department. • Clear away dry leaves and sticks and overhanging low branches and shrubs. • Keep campfi res small so they are easier to control and attend to them at all times. • Always have a hose, bucket of water, or shovel and dirt or sand nearby to put out the fi re. • Make sure your campfire is out cold before leaving. • If using an ATV, dirt bike, or other off -road vehicle, be sure the spark arrestor is properly installed, as required by Massachusetts law. • Don’t park a vehicle or power equipment such as a lawnmower on or near dry vegetation. A hot engine or exhaust can ignite dry grass, leaves, or debris. “We saw last fall just how quickly brush and wildland fires can grow to sizes that require a large response by local and regional fire departments,” said State Fire Marshal Davine. “These fires strain our resources and make it harder to respond to other emergencies. If you see an outdoor fire, please call 9-11 to report it as soon as possible.” V RevereTV Spotlight ictoria Fabbo continues to showcase healthy seasonal recipes every month.

All Senate roll calls were related to the Senate version of a $61.4 billion fi scal 2026 state budget. “BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE SENATE BUDGET DEBATE” Of the 1,058 amendments fi led by senators, only 21 came to a roll call vote. Many others were simply approved or rejected one at a time on voice votes, some with debate and some without debate. To move things along even faster, the Senate also did its usual “bundling” of many amendments. Instead of acting on each amendment one at a time, hundreds of the proposed amendments are bundled and put into two piles— one pile that will be approved and the other that will be rejected, without a roll call, on voice votes where it is impossible to tell which way a senator votes. Senate President Karen Spilka, or the senator who is fi lling in for her at the podium, orchestrates the approval and rejection of the bundled amendments with a simple: “All those in favor say ‘Aye,’ those opposed say ‘No.’ The Ayes have it and the amendments are approved.” Or: “All those in favor say ‘Aye,’ those opposed say ‘No.’ The No’s have it and the amendments are rejected.” Senators don’t actually vote “Yes” or “No,” and, in fact, they don’t say a word. The outcome was predetermined earlier behind closed doors. Supporters of the system say that any senator who sponsored an amendment that is in the “No” pile can bring it to the floor and ask for an up or down vote on the amendment itself. They say time members do not bring their amendment, which was destined for the “No” pile, to the floor for an up-or-down vote because that is not the way the game is played. It is an “expected tradition” that in most cases you accept the fate of your amendment as determined by Democratic leaders. APPROVE $530 MILLION FISCAL 2025 SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET (H 4150) House 149-1, approved a $530 million fi scal 2025 supplemental budget that will carry a net cost to the state of $318.2 million after federal reimbursements. Provisions include $189 million for childcare fi nancial assistance; $134 million for the Medical Assistance Trust Fund; $60 million for Home Care Services; $42.9 million for the Residential Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT) program; and $15 million in grants to support municipal celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the American independence. “Amid President Trump’s dismantling of the Department of Education, and amid sweeping cuts at the federal level to programs that millions of Americans rely on, this supplemental budget makes key investments that will ensure continued funding for state programs that support many of the commonwealth’s most vulnerable residents,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “This supplemental budget will fund critical programs such as childcare fi nancial assistance, home care services and food insecurity that require immediate attention,” said Rep. Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), Chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means. “The policies of kill, maim, medicate and indoctrinate our children continue, as does the policy of putting illegal immigrants ahead of our citizens,” said Rep. John Gaskey (R-Carver), the only members to vote againt the budget. “[Speaker] Mariano’s hint at a lower budget to help struggling taxpayers turned into a free-for-all as the House budget ballooned all week long.” (A “Yes” vote is for the budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes ENGLISH LEARNERS (H 4150) House 150-1, approved an amendment that would enshrine protections for English language learners and students with disabilities currently provided under federal law into state law, ensuring that these students receive both English language development and Special Education services in a coordinated, culturally and linguistically appropriate manner, regardless of school district or demographic. The amendment also prohibits discrimination in public schools based on immigration, citizenship status or disability. “This is a strong step toward ensuring English learners are fairly evaluated and appropriately supported in special education,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Alice Peisch (D-Wellesley). “This will help ensure our English Language Learners students receive the same opportunities to succeed as every other student.” “This is a requirement that further burdens an already struggling education system but, show me where this isn’t already happening,” said amendment opponent Rep. John Gaskey (RCarver). “The schools have every resource they need available to them. If there is a signifi cant problem and parents need to be involved, translators are always available. The state wants to provide translators for nonEnglish speakers but refuses to allow teachers to speak to parents when their children are suff ering mental health breaks, declaring they are the opposite sex.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes SENATE APPROVES $61.4 BILLION FISCAL 2026 STATE BUDGET (S 3) Senate 38-2, approved a $61.4 billion fi scal 2026 state budget after three days of debate. The House has already approved a diff erent version, and a HouseSenate conference committee will eventually craft a compromise plan that will be presented to the House and Senate for consideration and then sent to Gov. Maura Healey. “This budget refl ects the Senate’s commitment to a commonwealth that carefully balances investing in our people with responsible money management so we can protect our residents, communities and economy for years to come,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “The Senate’s statewide approach to investment delivers resources to every part of the state and protects our most vulnerable residents, while our continued focus on education and mental health ensures that residents have the keys to unlock the doors of opportunity.” “This budget is a testament to the Senate’s collective values and our shared responsibility to invest in every community and every person in the commonwealth—from the Connecticut River Valley to Cape Cod,” said Sen. Jo Comerford (DNorthampton), Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “By prioritizing education, transportation, health care and support for municipalities, we are not only addressing immediate needs but also laying the foundation for a more equitable and resilient commonwealth amid a time of great national turbulence and strife.” “Constituents and businesses from across my district are exhausted by Gov. Healey’s budget priorities that underfund core local services, overfund benefi ts for non-residents with billions of tax dollar and burden them with ever-increasing taxes and energy costs,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton), one of only two senators to vote against the budget. “Massachusetts residents are going to keep voting with their feet as they move out-of-state if we continue with the status quo — it’s unsustainable and must end.”

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 30, 2025 Page 25 (A “Yes” vote is for the budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes PRESCRIPTION DRUGS (S 3) Senate 34-5, approved an amendment that would allow Health Policy Commission regulators to place a maximum price limit on some medications, capping what patients, providers, pharmacies and others in Massachusetts would pay. “I was supportive of this amendment because of the impact high prescription drug prices have had on the most vulnerable in my community” said Sen. Pavel Payano (D-Lawrence). “Nobody should have to make a choice between paying their bills and paying for their prescriptions.” “While I agree with the intention behind this amendment, I believe that the subject matter needs to be addressed. I voted no … because I believe, given its magnitude, that it should go through the regular committeereview process,” said Sen. John Keenan (D-Quincy). “While versions of the legislation that this amendment refl ect have been fi led in previous sessions, this amendment includes new language that deserves a committee hearing and additional committee review.” “If this doesn’t belong in a budget, I’m not sure where else it belongs,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington). “This is having a profound eff ect on how we use our resources in the commonwealth, and if we don’t address this issue sooner rather than later, we will be in major trouble. Our hospitals are in major trouble because of this, our insurers are in major trouble, our state is in major trouble, so this, in my mind, is absolutely the right place for this.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes HUMAN TRAFFICKING (S 3) Senate 12-28, rejected an amendment that would mandate human trafficking training for all hotel, motel, lodging house or bed and breakfast establishment employees in the Bay State, from the front desk to housekeeping and food service, in order to equip them to recognize and respond to traffi cking situations. The measure also requires these establishments to post in plain view, in the lobby and in any public restroom in their establishment, a written notice developed by the attorney general, which must include the national human trafficking hotline telephone number. Amendment sponsor Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford) said the passage of the amendment will send a message to survivors that we support them. He noted that almost no one traffi cking people is in jail in Massachusetts and said that when people call him and ask him why, he doesn’t have an answer. Training front-line people in hotels to recognize trafficking and posting a hotline number might give a victim a chance. He said he has worked with hundreds of survivors and advocates on this and they always stress why is there so much inaction on Beacon Hill. Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), who voted against the amendment, said the goals are laudable, but this is a situation where you really don’t create a mandate that every hotel employee, no matter their job, is required to be trained to recognize human traffi cking without extensive discussions with the labor unions that represent the employees. He noted this mandate could arguably involve tens of thousands of individuals. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Lydia Edwards No CAPITAL GAINS TAX DISTRIBUTION (S 3) Senate 5-34, rejected an amendment that would require any excess revenue in capital gains revenue over $1 billion to annually automatically be transferred as follows: 80 percent to the Rainy Day Fund; 10 percent to the state’s Pension Liability Fund; and 10 percent to the State Retiree Benefi ts Trust Fund. The amendment would replace a section that distributes 5 percent to the Rainy Day Fund; 90 percent to the state’s Pension Liability Fund; and 5 percent to the State Retiree Benefi ts Trust Fund. Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the amendment sponsor, said that putting only 5 percent into the stabilization fund at a time when we recognize there’s a possibility of a downturn in federal support for our budget is not a good idea. He noted we have a stabilization fund to ensure we have those resources when we need them. Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), who voted against the amendment, said the Rainy Day Fund is currently already funded at an impressive gold standard of $8.1 billion. He argued that putting the majority of the funds into the Pension Liability Fund would be wiser and would boost the state’s bond rating. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Lydia Edwards No INCREASE ESTATE/DEATH TAX EXEMPTION (S 3) Senate 5-34, rejected an amendment that would increase from $2 million to $5 million the amount of money that is tax exempt from the value of a person’s estate when calculating the state’s estate/death tax that a person is required to pay following their death before distribution to any benefi ciary. The increase to $5 million would be implemented over three years. Most Republicans are against any such tax and coined the name “death tax” to imply that the government taxes you even after you die. Most Democrats support the tax and call it an “esBEACON | SEE Page 26 5 OR 5 POWER A 5 or 5 power provides a benefi ciary of a Trust the power in any calendar year to withdraw the greater of $5,000 or 5% of the Trust principal. Therefore, for any Trust that has assets less than $100,000, the beneficiary can withdraw up to $5,000. For any Trust that has more than $100,000 in assets, the beneficiary can withdraw up to 5% of the Trust assets. The situation usually occurs when the Settlor of a revocable Trust dies, which in turn results in the Trust becoming irrevocable and the Trust then provides for the benefi t of a surviving spouse. Per the Internal Revenue Code, there has to be a limit on what the beneficiary can withdraw each year in order to avoid any negative tax consequences. If a Trust provision allowed the benefi - ciary to withdraw more than $5,000 or 5% of the Trust principal each year, then the IRS would consider this to be a “general” power of appointment and some or all of the Trust assets could be included in the benefi ciary’s estate for estate tax purposes. What is one advantage of including such a provision in a trust document? Such a provision might be suitable in a situation of a second marriage wherein one spouse does not want the surviving spouse to have unfettered control over the Trust assets. Such a power would provide a minimum of a $5,000 withdrawal on the part of the surviving spouse each year. This could be important if the Trust itself generated very little income for the year that was required to be distributed to the surviving spouse pursuant to the terms of the Trust. Alternatively, if the Trust principal ended up being $1,000,000 at the time of the fi rst spouse’s death, the surviving spouse could take up to $50,000 each year (5% of $1,000,000). Furthermore, such a right might put some of the Trust’s assets at risk if the surviving spouse was involved in litigation. Generally speaking, creditors can reach what you can reach as a benefi ciary of a Trust. The 5 or 5 power also allows the benefi ciary to withdraw up to 5% of the Trust’s assets, even if the withdrawal is not for an ascertainable standard such as for the health, education and support of the surviving spouse. This allows the surviving spouse to simply take a withdrawal without meeting any such standard. The surviving spouse would not have to answer to a Trustee that might not be so cooperative when it comes to Trust distributions. The other benefi t of the 5 or 5 power is that so long as the surviving spouse does not exceed its parameters, upon the surviving spouse’s death, the assets in the Trust not subject to the 5 or 5 power will not be included in her taxable estate for estate tax purposes. In this situation, the first spouse to die has the ability to exempt $13.9 million in assets from his or her taxable estate by funding the so-called “family trust” portion of a marital deduction trust wherein the surviving spouse still would enjoy rights to income, discretionary Trustee distributions of principal to the surviving spouse based upon a health, education and support standard and the 5 or 5 power. Upon the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining Trust assets not subject to the 5 or 5 power will be distributed free of estate tax to the children of the fi rst spouse to die. However, the Trust assets subject to the 5 or 5 power in the hands of the surviving spouse would be taxable in her estate upon her death. If her federal taxable estate ends up being $13.9 million or less, there would be no federal estate tax anyway. If there were $5,000,000 of Trust assets, at most, only $250,000 would be taxable in the surviving spouse’s estate. It also looks as though Congress may extend most of the key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act meaning the federal estate tax exemption may not be dropping down to approximately $6million as of January 1, 2026. A huge diff erence from an estate planning standpoint. Joseph D.

Amendment supporters said that Massachusetts is one of only 12 states that have an estate/death tax and that the Bay State’s is the most aggressive of the 12. They said that in light of the high value of houses, with the average home price more than $500,000, the $1 million threshold of this “unfair and regressive” tax is too low and noted the federal tax exempts the fi rst $12 million.

Lydia Edwards No ALLOW GOLD STAR MOTHERS TO RECEIVE ANNUITY EVEN OIF THEY REMARRY (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would repeal a current law that restricts a surviving spouse from receiving the Gold Star annuity if they remarry. “As we near Memorial Day, a day where we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation, we can never forget those they left behind,” said amendment sponsor Sen. John Velis (D-Westfi eld). “It is truly so cruel to me that these husbands and wives, who lost their loved ones, who have sacrificed so much themselves, are told that their sacrifice will no longer matters to the commonwealth if they decide to remarry.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes $400,000 FOR PEDIATRIC PALLIATIVE CARE (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment increasing funding for a pediatric palliative care program by $400,000 (from $10.4 to $10.8 million). This program provides invaluable comprehensive care for children living with life-limiting or end-oflife illnesses, as well as support for their families. “I am proud to secure additional funding for this critical program which will help clear the waiting list for these services and support the staff who work with these children,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett). “Families who are seeking pediatric palliative care do not have time to wait on a waitlist. These children deserve quality care and support throughout the duration of their illness and at the end of their lives, and their families deserve the support they need as they face one of the most traumatic times of their lives. This program has been one of my top priorities during my 15 years in the Senate and I will continue to ensure that all families have access to these vital services.” (A Yes” vote is for the $400,000.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL HEALTHY PUBLIC COLLEGES (S 949) — The Higher Education Committee will hold a hearing on June 3rd to hear testimony and consider legislation that would establish a Green and Healthy Public College and University Building Planning Commission to evaluate and make recommendations on campus infrastructure — focusing on energy efficiency, indoor air quality, accessibility, life safety and overall public health. The proposal creates a trust fund to alleviate campus debt and lower student fees currently used to fi nance aging infrastructure. It also ensures longterm investments so that all public higher education campuses meet Green and Healthy standards by 2037. The bill prioritizes renovations for buildings in greatest need and addresses longstanding environmental and health inequities across campuses. “I filed this bill because every student deserves to learn in an environment that is safe, healthy and sustainable,” said sponsor Sen. Jake Oliveira (DLudlow). “By investing in our public college and university infrastructure now, we can reduce student debt, eliminate health disparities and build a more equitable, climate-resilient future for higher education in Massachusetts.” SENIOR SHELTERS (H 787) — The Committee on Elder Aff airs will hold a hearing on June 24th to consider a bill that would establish a special commission to study the feasibility of dedicated senior shelters in Massachusetts. The commission would examine the unique needs of homeless seniors, evaluate existing resources and propose recommendations to address gaps in services and housing for this population. Supporters say that homeless seniors are a growing part of the homeless population in the Bay State. They note they face unique challenges and need specialized support because of limited retirement savings, rising housing costs and a lack of aff ordable housing options. Rep. Sean Reid (D-Lynn), the sponsor of the measure, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his bill. $500,000 FOR ENVIRONMENT — The Healey Administration announced nearly $500,000 in grants from the inaugural Environmental Justice Capacity Building Grant Program to help empower local organizations to build organizational capacity, strengthen local advocacy, advance community-driven solutions and improve the health and wellbeing of underserved communities.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 30, 2025 Page 27 mental inequities and ensuring that all Massachusetts residents, particularly those in lowincome and marginalized communities, have the tools and resources they need to tackle climate change and other environmental challenges. “We are committed to ensuring every community in Massachusetts has a seat at the table in shaping the decisions that impact our families and environment,” said Offi ce of Energy and Environmental Aff airs Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “From growing culturally relevant produce in community gardens to creating youth environmental employment opportunities — these organizations serve as vital resources in neighborhoods across Massachusetts.” $22.2 MILLION TO MODERNIZE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INTERNET — The Healey Administration announced $22.2 million in grants to upgrade internet access for 15,793 aff ordable housing units across 54 communities in Massachusetts. The projects will install modern fi ber-optic cables in public and aff ordable housing properties that will increase residents’ access to highquality, reliable and aff ordable broadband service. “Massachusetts is leading the nation in its eff orts to improve internet access and adoption statewide,” said Massachusetts Interim Economic Development Secretary Ashley Stolba. “The Residential Retrofi t Program is a key component of our strategy to upgrade broadband infrastructure statewide and will expand economic opportunity to residents by enabling them to access essential online tools.” “The Residential Retrofi t Program is an ambitious eff ort to revamp decades-old wiring affecting low-income families and we’re already seeing how much of an impact this work has had,” said Massachusetts Broadband Institute Director Michael Baldino. “This round of Residential Retrofi t Program grantees demonstrated a dedication to serving affordable housing residents and providing them with access needed to thrive in the digital age.” 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. During the week of May 1923, the House met for a total of seven hours and 15 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 33 hours and two minutes. Mon. May 19 House 11:04 a.m. to 11:08 a.m. Senate 11:08 a.m. to 3:53 p.m. Tues. May 20 No House session. Senate 11:05 a.m. to 7:54 p.m. Wed.
