The staff struck out 155 batters in 131 innings, and eight diff erent pitchers earned wins. Revere fi nished 13-7 overall and is hoping to ride this collective momentum into this Friday’s preliminary round contest with the Beverly Panthers (scheduled 4 p.m. start).

The ZBA approved the variance that will allow for the subdivision of an existing lot at 25 and 55 American Legion Hwy. and for the construction of two new buildings by the owner of the property, Bellboa LLC of Wilmington. The City Council previously issued a special permit for the razing of the two buildings on the lot. The project will take a little over a year, with the buildings being constructed in a phased approach, according to developer Paul Kneeland. The phased schedule means Pizza Days will only have to close for about a week during construction. The new Starbucks at Bell Circle will help take some of the pressure off the existing Starbucks farther up the highway in East Boston, and the second new building will house a ConvenientMD Urgent Care facility. “We were recently granted a special permit to raze two existPROJECT | SEE Page 16 S CAROLINE COLARUSSO Republican candidate for Congress toneham, MA – Caroline Colarusso, Republican candidate for Congress, will send a mirror to Congresswoman Katherine Clark to help her fi nd the culprit for soaring gas prices. “For the last year and a half the price of gas has been steadily increasing. It started on day one of the Biden presidency and long before Putin invaded Ukraine. After Biden was sworn in, he stopped the Keystone Pipeline, he re-entered the Paris ~ POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT ~ Caroline Colarusso announces candidacy for US Congress Climate Accord, he halted leasing programs in ANWR, he issued a 60-day halt on all new oil and gas leases and drilling permits on federal land and waters nationwide accounting for 25% of US oil production. Biden also directed federal agencies to eliminate all support for fossil fuels, and he also initiated new regulations on oil and gas methane emissions. “These actions reversed our nation’s energy independence policies. Clark went along with Biden every step of the way. She even praised him. Now that we are less than 6 months away from the election and gas is headed towards $6 per gallon, she is going after oil companies for price gouging. It is an election year CYA move. So, I’ll send her a mirror to help her fi nd the real culprit for gas prices increasing,” said Colarusso. Clark voted to pass phony legislation to crack down on price gouging by major gas companies. The so-called Oil and Gas Industry Antitrust Act would require the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate price manipulation in the gasoline market, including refi nery capacity reductions and market monopoly conditions. “Clearly, she thinks the people of this district are stupid. It’s not price gouging. It is bad policy. She should apologize and not pass legislation that will probably make gas even more unaff ordable,” said Colarusso. “If people don’t like the price of gas, then they should vote her out of offi ce.” Colarusso will challenge Congresswoman Katherine Clark in November. Colarusso recently qualifi ed for the ballot by collecting over 5,000 raw signatures in 28 days; 4003 signatures were certifi ed by the Secretary of State.

Yearround event programming – from ice skating to kite surfi ng, and holiday markets to lighting installations – will make Revere the place to be, no matter the season.” Next Stop Revere is the city's fi rst intentional initiative to capture millions more in revenue from visitors to Revere Beach. The offi ce will promote all the characteristics that make our city great, and act as a connector to support our businesses in reaping the benefi ts. “Tourism is Massachusetts’ third largest industry and the next double digit growth sector for Revere’s economy, which is why it’s a central investment priority in the American Rescue Plan Act,” said Director of Travel and Tourism, Charlie Giuffrida. “At its core, the Tourism offi ce is the marketing arm of the city; dedicated to showcasing Revere as a destination for local, regional, and international tourists.

That, paired with the 61 new restaurants and cafes opened since 2016, has brought millions of dollars of tax revenue to our city. The Travel and Tourism offi ce will only further these opportunities by working with community partners, stakeholders, and those within the restaurant and hospitality industries. With plans already laid out for Suff olk Downs, Squire Road, and the Riverfront District Project, the City of Revere will fl ourish in growth throughout the next decade and beyond, bringing a better quality of life for our residents and visitors. The Next Stop Revere team has plans to work with organizations such as FMP Productions, who have historically helped plan and organize the Revere Beach Partnership’s International Sand-Sculpting Festival, which brings close to half a million visitors to our City every summer. The Travel and Tourism Offi ce already has creative programming for the rest of 2022, with plans to continue with events during every season - including holiday lighting installations and winter markets.

PUBLIC SKATING SCHEDULE 12-8 p.m. Sunday MALDEN – The Immigrant Learning Center (The ILC) is one of 140 Massachusetts notfor-profits to receive grants of $100,000 to $500,000 each through Cummings Foundation’s $25 Million Grant Program. The Malden-based organization was chosen from a total of 580 applicants during a competitive review process. It will receive $100,000 over two years. For 30 years The Immigrant ILC has served Malden and surrounding communities. The free English classes and related services The ILC provides enable immigrant and refugee residents to become contributing members of these communities, and the education about immigrants The ILC provides to all residents combats xenophobia and makes local communities stronger. “The support of the Cummings Foundation means so much to us,” said The ILC Founder and CEO Diane Portnoy. “It’s not just the critical fi scal support, it’s Cumming’s focus on community. Their support highlights immigrants as part of the fabric of our communities and shows that helping immigrants to succeed makes our communities stronger.” Grant funding from the Cummings Foundation will result in enrollment of new students from The ILC waiting list and enable continued service for current students who will continue to advance to the next class level, secure employment, advance in their current job situation or enroll in further education/training and become U.S. citizens. The Cummings $25 Million Grant Program supports Massachusetts nonprofi ts that are based in and primarily serve Middlesex, Essex, and Suffolk Counties. Through this placebased initiative, Cummings Foundation aims to give back in the areas where it owns commercial property. Its buildings are all managed, at no cost to the Foundation, by its affiliate, Cummings Properties. This Woburn-based commercial real estate fi rm leases and manages 11 million square feet of debt-free space, the majority of which exclusively benefi ts the Foundation. “We are so fortunate in greater Boston to have such eff ective nonprofi ts, plus a wealth of talented, dedicated professionals and volunteers to run them,” said Cummings Foundation Executive Director Joyce Vyriotes. “We are indebted to them for the work they do each day to provide for basic needs, break down barriers to education and health resources, and work toward a more equitable society.” With the help of about 90 volunteers, the Foundation first identified 140 organizations to receive grants of at least $100,000 each. Among the winners were fi rst-time recipients as well as not-for-profi ts, such as The ILC, that had previously received Cummings Foundation grants. This year’s grant recipients represent a wide variety of causes, including food insecurity, immigrant and refugee services, social justice, education and mental health services. The not-for-profi ts are spread across 45 different cities and towns. The complete list of 140 grant winners, plus more than 900 previous recipients, is available at www.CummingsFoundation.org. Cummings Foundation has now awarded more than $375 million to Greater Boston notfor-profi ts. About The Immigrant Learning Center, Inc.

Firstly, The English Language Program provides free, year-round English classes to immigrant and refugee adults in Greater Boston to help them become successful workers, parents and community members.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 2022 Page 11 Board of Health updated on life sciences development By Adam Swift P ublic Health Director Lauren Buck is preparing the Board of Health for the role they may have to play in regulating life sciences companies in the city. At the most recent Board of Health meeting on Thursday, May 26, Buck outlined the building of a life sciences building at Suff olk Downs and potential City Council ordinance changes to regulate tenants in the buildings. “We currently have an ordinance that talks about the type and risk factor and risk levels of biotech labs that can come to the city,” Buck told the Board of Health. “That ordinance is being discussed by the City Council currently, and when the City Council decides whether they want to amend that ordinance or keep it the same, we will then be tasked with writing regulations regarding the ordinance.” Buck read a statement from The HYM Investment Group, the developer of the Suff olk Downs property, about the proposed life science buildings at 100 and 150 Salt Streets. The buildings are being developed to facilitate life science, research, manufacturing, offi ce space and retail uses. “The stage they are at in development is they have just started the foundation of the building, and they are anticipating that the building itself will be completed in early 2024,” Buck said. HYM stated that, like most life science developers in the region, they are starting the design and construction of the building on spec and have not yet identifi ed any tenants. “Any tenant looking to occupy the building will have to submit their plans to the City of Revere for review and approval prior to construction on their tenant space within the building, and can only open and operate under strict compliance with the applicable state and federal regulations, and also the regulations we promulgate in the city,” Buck said. The research and manufacturing activities will be substantially the same and regulated the same as life science developments in Cambridge, Boston, Somerville and other communities in the state, Buck said. “All future tenants will have to comply with fi re protection and life safety standards already in the state building code, and also current hazardous materials regulations that are part of all the regulations that are out there,” said Buck, “so our regulations would be on top of all HEALTH | SEE Page 17 FUN-damental Basketball Camp Open to Boys and Girls in Local Area T he FUN-damental Basketball Camp, open to boys and girls in local area cities and towns, will be held July 25 to July 29, 2022 at the Immaculate Conception Parish Center, located at 51 Summer Street in Everett.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 2022 Page 17 HEALTH | FROM Page 11 those already existing regulations.” Buck noted that there are two How to Get Underutilized COVID Funeral Assistance Funds Dear Savvy Senior, I recently saw a news segment on TV about a government funeral assistance program available to families who lost loved ones during the pandemic. What can you tell me about this? I lost my 78-year-old mother to COVID in 2021 and want to fi nd out if I’m still eligible for any funeral funds, and if so, what I need to do to get them. Still Sad Dear Sad, I’m very sorry about the loss of your mother. The government program you are asking about is the COVID-19 Funeral Assistance Program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or FEMA). This program is part of the American Rescue Plan, a stimulus package passed in 2021 in an eff ort to help the country financially manage amid the pandemic. This program, which has no end date, off ers up to $9,000 to cover the cost of a funeral for someone who died of COVID-19 as far back as January 2020. Unfortunately, less than half the people believed eligible for funeral assistance have actually applied for it. Here’s what you should know about the program’s requirements and how to apply. Where to Start? To apply for COVID-19 funeral assistance, you must do it over the phone by calling FEMA at 844-684-6333, anytime Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time. The application process takes about 20 minutes. After you apply, FEMA will provide you an application number, which you may use to create an online account at DisasterAssistance.gov if you choose. You will then need to submit supporting documents, including a death certifi cate for your mother, but it must state that her death “may have been caused by” or “was likely the result of” COVID-19 or COVID-19like symptoms. Her death must also have occurred in the U.S. on or after Jan. 20, 2020. If you don’t have this, you won’t be eligible. You’ll also need to submit proof of funeral expenses, such as itemized receipts, invoices or funeral home contracts. These supporting documents can be submitted either online (through your DisasterAssistance.gov account), by mail (P.O. Box 10001, Hyattsville, MD 20782) or via fax (855261-3452). After the paperwork is received, it takes FEMA about 45 days to make an eligibility decision. Families who had multiple deaths due to the coronavirus can also apply. One family can receive up to $35,000 across multiple funerals. Reimbursements can be used to cover any portion of funeral expenses including burial plots, caskets, preparation of the body, cremation, urns, clergy, services and headstones as well as costs related to state or local ordinances and producing death certifi cates. But be aware that pre-paid funerals are not eligible for reimbursements. Any payment made specifi cally for a funeral prior to death is considered a duplication and is not eligible. If FEMA approves your application, the funds will either be deposited into your bank account or sent by mail via check, usually within a few days of approval. If, however, you receive a letter from FEMA saying you’re ineligible, or if the amount awarded is not enough, you have the right to appeal within 60 days of FEMA’s decision letter.

Biohazard safety levels are classifications of safety precautions in the clinical, microbiological and laboratory spaces that are dependent on the specifi c pathogens being handled and the safety precautions that are necessary, according to Buck. Biohazard level 3 pathogens can include TB, malaria, yellow fever and Covid, and are typically microorganisms that can be fatal to humans, but for which vaccines and other treatments are available. The second proposal would establish a Revere Biosafety Advisory Committee composed of Revere offi cials which would be under the jurisdiction of the Board of Health. “We would be writing regulations and then we would be enforcing those regulations,” said Buck. Buck also presented the Board of Health with examples of municipal regulations from Cambridge and several other area communities. “Eventually, the regulations that we are promulgating will require the Board of Health to work with biotech firms in a way where the onus of the regulations will be on the fi rm itself, but we will have to understand their safety committees and what they are doing,” said Buck.

Some Senate roll calls are on proposed amendments to the $49.78 billion fi scal 2023 budget. This was the Senate’s third state budget in the COVID-19 era and many senators participated virtually from their homes or offi ces. Of the of the 1179 amendments fi led by senators only 15 came to a roll call vote. Many others were simply approved or rejected one at a time on voice votes 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. BAKER VETOES ALLOWING DRIVER’S LICENSE FOR UNDOCUMENTED/ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS(H 4805) House 118-36, Senate 32-8, approved and Gov. Charlie Baker vetoed a conference committee version of legislation that would, starting July 1, 2023, allow undocumented/illegal immigrants to apply for a Massachusetts standard driver’s license. The House and Senate had approved diff erent versions of the measure and this compromise was reached by a conference committee comprised of three senators and three representatives. The wide margin of passage by both branches means that each branch has the necessary two-thirds vote to override Baker’s veto. The legislation requires an applicant “without legal presence” in the United States to provide the Registry of Motor Vehicles with a foreign passport and at least one of fi ve other documents: a driver’s license from another state, a foreign driver’s license, a birth certifi cate, a foreign national identifi cation card or a marriage certifi cate or divorce decree from any U.S. state. “I cannot sign this legislation because it requires the Registry of Motor Vehicles to issue state credentials to people without the ability to verify their identity,” Baker said in his veto message. “The Registry does not have the expertise or ability to verify the validity of many types of documents from other countries. The bill also fails to include any measures to distinguish standard Massachusetts driver’s licenses issued to persons who demonstrate lawful presence from those who don’t. “We are a nation of immigrants,” tweeted Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) following the veto. “We all benefi t from increased public safety. And everyone deserves to feel safe and get to work, pick up children and be a part of their communities without fear. The @ma_senate looks forward to overriding this misguided decision.” “We are deeply disappointed that Gov. Baker has vetoed the [bill],” said Elizabeth Sweet, executive director of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy (MIRA) Coalition. “The policy would not only make our communities safer, but benefi t our economy and bolster trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities. We hope that the Legislature will waste no time in overriding the governor’s veto.” Sen. Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn), the sponsor of the measure, said it will make the lives of the more than 185,000 Massachusetts immigrants without status easier by allowing them to earn a standard driver’s license. “Nobody should have to fear detention or deportation over essential everyday tasks, such as getting to work, school, doctor’s appointments and grocery stores noted Crighton. Opponents said the bill doesn’t include any safeguards to ensure that a license to drive does not become misused for any illegal purposes including access to voting in elections or things that could put the public at risk. “I do not support this legislation as I believe it disincentivizes the individual from pursuing citizenship through legal means,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “It is also counterintuitive to the strong identity laws we have passed that keep us compliant with federal REAL ID requirements where individuals need greater documentation to protect and secure one’s identity when they go to obtain a license.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Sen. Lydia Edwards No Yes REVENGE PORN (H 4498) House 154-0, approved and sent to the Senate a proposal that would prohibit the posting of sexually explicit images of another person online without their permission— commonly referred to as “revenge porn.” The practice is often used by ex-spouses or ex-partners. Massachusetts is one of only two states that does not have a law about this crime. Another provision changes current law under which minors, under 18 years of age, who share explicit images of themselves or other minors can be charged with violating Massachusetts child pornography laws and are required to register with the Sex Off ender Registry. The bill allows minors to be diverted to an educational program that would provide them with information about the consequences of posting or transmitting indecent visual depictions of minors. “Under current law, when faced with an incident of sexting among teenagers, the police are forced with either charging them with a felony or doing nothing,” said sponsor Rep. Jeff Roy (D-Franklin). “The bill passed today provides law enforcement offi cers with a middle ground that will allow them to educate kids about the consequences of their actions without ruining their lives. It will have a tremendous impact on people who have become entangled in the web and transmittal of images that can cause traumatic and lifetime harm through a diversion program that will educate them about the legal and personal consequences of ‘sexting.’” “This bill prioritizes survivors of revenge porn by unlocking resources for them while, at the same time, closing a loophole in our criminal harassment statute that will serve to deter and punish those who engage in these horrifi c acts,” said Rep. Mike Day (D-Stoneham), the House chair of the Judiciary Committee. “From providing access to victim witness advocates and direct input on criminal dispositions to enabling survivors to pursue civil remedies against their perpetrators, this approach will empower survivors to reclaim their lives in addition to providing clearly enforceable punitive measures for these crimes.” “I’m proud the House today passed a bill consistent with our intent during criminal justice reform to provide intervention through diversion instead of incarceration for minors,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “Additionally, the bill criminalizes image-based sexual assault by adults and aff ords victims of this crime protections, including the opportunity to get a harassment prevention order against their perpetrator.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes $49.78 BILLION FISCAL 2023 STATE BUDGET (S 4) Senate 40-0, approved a $49.78 billion fi scal 2023 state budget after adding nearly 500 amendments and $93 million in spending during three days of debate. The House has already approved a diff erent version and a House-Senate conference committee will eventually craft a plan that will be presented to the House and Senate for consideration and sent to the governor. Provisions include $16.5 million for grants to the Head Start program to maintain access to early education services for low-income families; $1.5 million for the Genocide Education Trust Fund to educate middle and high school students on the history of genocide; $243.8 million for charter school reimbursements; $112.5 million for children’s mental health services; $56 million for domestic violence prevention services; $30.5 million for the Massachusetts Emergency Food Assistance Program; and $24.1 million for summer jobs and work-readiness training for atrisk youth. Supporters said that the budget also codifi es new protections for receiving and providing reproductive and gender-affi rming health care in Massachusetts, in response to laws in other states allowing their residents to bring legal action against individuals for traveling out-ofstate to receive services and against workers who provide care. It also includes $2 million for grants for improvements in reproductive health access, infrastructure and safety. “The residents of Massachusetts are at the center of our work and their voice, advocacy and contributions are interwoven throughout our fi scal year 2023 budget,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “I take great pride in advancing a budget that contains meaningful investments in early education and childcare, K-12 schools, public higher education, mental health and substance use disorder treatment as well as a record level of assistance for low-income residents.” “Today, the members of the Senate have spoken and moved forward together to pass a fi scal year 2023 budget that strengthens our state’s economic foundation, upholds the fundamental rights of our people and continues our efforts to build a more inclusive commonwealth,” said Senate Ways and Means Committee chair Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport) “The budget that passed the Senate today continues our commitment to funding the urgent needs of our residents, including increased funding for housing, education, child care, and assistance for families,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. She added that she was also incredibly proud of her amendment which will enhance protections for residents, visitors and providers engaged in lawful reproductive and gender-affi rming health care in the commonwealth.” (A “Yes” vote is for the budget). Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes TAX CUTS (S 4) Senate 10-30, rejected a tax reduction amendment that would provide a 3-month suspension of the 24-cent -per-gallon gas tax; reduce from 12 percent to 5 percent the short-term capital gains tax rate; double the dependent care tax credit from $240 to $480 for one qualifying individual and to $960 for two or more individuals; increase the rental deduction cap from $3,000 to $5,000; increase the threshold for “no tax status” to $12,400 for single fi lers and $24,800 for joint fi lers; and double the maximum Senior Circuit Breaker Credit. “The Senate Republican Caucus members proposed more than 30 tax cut and credit proposals during this budget because we believe that we have an obligation to take reasonable actions to help people face the challenges they are dealing with from high housing costs, gas prices at record levels and infl ation that continues to rise at alarming rates,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). “ We know that with state revenues wildly exceeding what we need to operate, and an fiscal year 2023 budget spending increase of more than $2 billion we have the capacity to help families, seniors, students, commuters and those who depend on childcare.” “The tax break package presented by my colleagues and I would have eased the burden on working families and provided urgently needed fi nancial relief from the economic challenges we continue to face,” said Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth). “With record prices for gas, housing, childcare and basic necessities, we need to act immediately to enact tax reforms to ease the blow on our residents and protect those who simply cannot aff ord the looming changes our economy will experience.” “The Joint Committee on Revenue is reviewing tax reduction BEACON | SEE Page 19
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 2022 Page 19 BEACON | FROM Page 18 bills and the full Senate has committed to consideration of a comprehensive and thoughtful revenue proposal, including tax reductions,” said Sen. John Keenan (D-Quincy) who voted against the amendment. “The Senate President has already announced that the Senate is taking up a tax relief package shortly,” said amendment opponent Sen. Adam Hinds (D-Pittsfi eld). “That is what we prefer to focus on. We want to be absolutely certain that tax cuts go to those who need it most, not just giveaways to the most wealthy.” (A “Yes” vote is for the tax cuts. A “No” vote is against the tax cuts). Sen. Lydia Edwards No ADDITIONAL $750,000 FOR GOOD SAMARITANS (S 4) Senate 38-0, approved an amendment providing an additional $750,000 to fund “Hey Sam”— an anonymous peer-to-peer mental health texting program staff ed by young people. The service, available to people up to 24 years old, gives youths the opportunity to reach peers if they are suicidal, lonely, depressed, overwhelmed, struggling or need any kind of support an domeone with whom they can talk. Amendment sponsor Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham) noted the Samaritans continue to save lives and combat the commonwealth’s youth mental health crisis. She noted the Samaritans successfully deescalated 90 percent of imminent risk conversations, avoiding the need for emergency intervention. “For 47 years, the Samaritans, has provided lifesaving suicide prevention and mental health services in Massachusetts,” said Rausch. “Each year, they respond to tens of thousands of calls and texts from individuals experiencing mental illness and low levels of mental health.” (A Yes” vote is for the $750,000.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL (S 4) Senate 40-0, approved an amendment requiring that LGBTQ service members who were forced out of the military with anything other than an honorable discharge under the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’” policy that barred openly gay, lesbian or bisexual persons from military service from 1994 to 2011, be eligible for state benefi ts from the Massachusetts Department of Veterans Services. “’Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ represents a truly dark point in the history of our nation and the tragic truth is that so many of our LGBTQ veterans are still feeling the eff ects of the policy to this day,” said Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield), Senate chair of the Legislature’s Veterans Committee and a current Major in the U.S. Army Reserve, the sponsor of the amendment. “For far too long, thousands of courageous individuals have been told that they ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL CREATING WOMEN’S RIGHTS HISTORY TRAIL PROGRAM (S 2802) - The House and Senate approved and sent to Gov. Baker a bill that would require the state to develop and implement a Women’s Rights History Trail Program. The measure includes requiring the state to designate properties and sites that are historically and thematically associated with the struggle for women’s rights and women’s suff rage. Another provision provides that the state promotes education and awareness of the struggle for women’s rights in the state. A 13-member Women’s Rights History Trail Task Force would be formed to research, solicit public input and make recommendations for sites, properties and attractions to be included in the trail. “Women have played a pivotal role in shaping the policies of our commonwealth, and this bill will ensure that those contributions are are not worthy of the same benefi ts that their comrades and counterparts earned, all because of who they are and who they love. These veterans served and fought alongside us, they bled the same color and this amendment will ensure that they receive the benefi ts and services they have earned in service to our nation.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes NEW AMERICANS (S 4) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment increasing by $500,000 (from $1,033,019 to $1,533,019) funding for the “Citizenship for New Americans Program” to assist eligible lowincome legal permanent residents of the Bay State to become citizens of the United States. They said that this program leads to high rates of success on the naturalization exam. Supporters said the program would provide instruction in English and civics and assistance to help immigrants fill out the 22page application. They noted that these programs enjoy high rates of success on the naturalization exam. They argued that one in six Massachusetts residents is foreign born, and more than 200,000 people in Massachusetts are currently eligible for citizenship. Amendment sponsor Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton) said this funding will enable these programs to meet continued high demand for these services. “I am proud to represent a district with many vibrant immigrant communities throughout it,” Eldridge said. “Recently, I have been assisting Neighborhood Support Teams in the town of Harvard and the city of Marlborough resettle Afghan evacuees who aided in our country’s fi ght against the Taliban. I look forward to the day that these people who risked their lives for our nation become citizens.” (A Yes” vote is for the additional $500,000). Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes known and celebrated,” said Senate sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (DSalem). The history of Massachusetts’ women is our history, and we must continue to make that history known.” “The many women from our commonwealth who contributed to the fabric of our nation, who held an integral role in shaping and advancing American democracy, and who courageously led the Women’s Suff rage movement, are central fi gures in our commonwealth’s narrative,” said House sponsor Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury). “With so many notable women and historic sites connected to these women here in our commonwealth, we have a unique opportunity to celebrate and tell their stories by encouraging and promoting tourism and dispersing the economic gains by crafting an inclusive, geographically and historically diverse trail that is promoted broadly.” CLEARING NAME OF “NONWITCH” ELIZABETH JOHNSON – The Senate approved an amendment clearing the name of Elizabeth Johnson who in 1693 was the last person convicted of witchcraft, at the height of the Salem Witch Trials. Johnson was sentenced to death by hanging but was never executed. The state approved legislation in the 1900s that cleared the names of those who were executed and had not been exonerated, but that excluded Johnson. She never had children so there has never been a group of descendants pushing for exoneration. Sen. Diana DiZoglio (D-Methuen) fi led the bill on behalf of middle school civics class students in North Andover. Johnson lived in the part of Andover that is North Andover today. “This legislation would not have been possible without the tireless eff orts of [their teacher] Carrie LaPierre and her students,” said DiZoglio. “They are to be celebrated for stepping up to the plate and having the courage to be a voice for someone who hasn’t had a voice for so long. We will never be able to change what happened to victims like Elizabeth but at the very least, can set the record straight. If we do not right the wrongs of the past, history is destined to repeat itself. I am so proud that these students stood up and spoke out for justice—setting an example for us all.” “My students have worked extremely hard over the past two years to draw attention to the longoverlooked issue of justice for this wrongly convicted woman,” said LaPierre. “Passing this legislation will be incredibly impactful on their understanding of how important it is to stand up for people who cannot advocate for themselves and how strong of a voice they actually have.” “With the passage of this amendment, justice can fi nally and fully be delivered to all the victims of the Salem Witch Trials,” said Salem Sen. Joan Lovely. “For 300 years, Elizabeth Johnson was without a voice, her story lost to the passages of time. Thanks to the tireless eff orts of civics students at North Andover Middle School, her life and wrongful conviction have been brought to light.” “The Last Witch,” a documentary featuring Johnson’s story, is currently in production. SEXUAL ASSAULT UNDER FALSE MEDICAL REPRESENTATION (H 1661) – The House gave initial approval to a bill that makes it a criminal offense when a medical or healthcare professional induces a patient to engage in sexual intercourse or touching by falsely representing that the act is necessary for a legitimate medical purpose. The measure adds sections to the existing rape and indecent assault and battery statutes to criminalize behavior by medical professionals where there has been a fraudulent representation of the necessity and propriety of conduct and adds these crimes to the law on the statute of limitations for other sexual assaults. Supporters said that under existing law the off ender cannot be criminally punished. “I fi led this bill alongside Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan to protect susceptible patients and prohibit this unacceptable conduct,” said sponsor Rep. Kate Hogan (D-Stow). “The lack of a legal remedy in this area is particularly egregious given that a patient or client may be in an especially vulnerable state. A person in need of treatment, and without medical knowledge, will out of necessity rely on the recommendations made by a professional who is entrusted with caring for them and treating them.” LAUNCH OF MASSACHUSETTS DATA HUB – The Baker administration announced the launch of the Massachusetts Data Hub, a new data search tool that allows users to search state resources and data by topic and keyword and to browse featured data published by state government. “The Massachusetts Data Hub brings additional organization and transparency to the commonwealth’s vast and varied data landscape,” said Gov. Baker. “This tool’s launch represents an important step in making state data more readily available and easy to access.” “It is critical that state data is available to municipal leaders so that they can make better informed decisions in tackling the many challenges their communities and constituents face,” said Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito. “The Massachusetts Data Hub will work toward these goals by making state government more inclusive and providing more intuitive access to agency data.” 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 23-27, the House met for a total of seven hours and four minutes and the Senate met for a total of 28 hours and four minutes. Mon. May 23 House 11:04 a.m. to 11:11 a.m. Senate 11:03 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Tues. May 24 No House session Senate 10:16 a.m. to 7:55 p.m. Wed.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 2022 Page 21 SAFETY | FROM Page 1 elephant in the room is, ‘Why did the cops wait an hour to go in?’” said Officer Joseph Singer. “According to Revere Police procedures, we do not wait. My captain, my sergeant, my SWAT commander will back this up; we go with what we have. God forbid, if there is an active shooter scenario, we are going in right away.” School Resource Offi cer Sgt. Joseph Internicola concurred. “We would never hesitate to put our lives on the line for anyone in these buildings,” he said. “We’re here for our love of children and the people doing this job.” Tuesday’s meeting was called in the wake of the Texas school shooting, said Subcommittee Chair Susan Gravellese. Gravellese said there has been outreach from parents and the community about safety and security measures at the schools folREVERETV | FROM Page 7 resentative Jeff Turco also spoke at this event.

Gravellese said the committee is also working to organize a larger public community forum on school security and safety that will include the police and fi re chiefs, similar to a forum held in August of 2019. On Tuesday, several School Committee members asked if there are improvements that could be made to make the schools safer, and if the schools should provide more drills and training for active shooter scenarios. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dianne Kelly said the police and fi re chiefs, along with the school resource offi cers, create comprehensive safety plans for each of the district’s schools that are updated annually and are shared This will be replaying on most weekday afternoons on the Community Channel.

She did praise the role the school resource offi cers play in the district and said everyone plays a role in keeping the schools safe. School Committee Member Aisha Milbury-Ellis asked Kelly if there are any plans to implement active shooter training for staff and teachers. Kelly said there were no immediate plans to do so, noting that safety plans are reviewed at the beginning of every year, and that the district reviews diff erent aspects of action based on a wide variety of scenarios. Internicola said many surrounding communities do use the ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) active shooter drills and training, and that he is going to be attending class on the program that could help provide further insight into whether Revere should consider adopting it. “We are going to review and reassess every single thing we are doing, and if there are things we can change and make adjustments, that’s what we are going to do,” said Police Chief David Callahan. “There’s always room for improvement. We do a pretty good job here, and we have for many years, but we can assess and learn from other incidents that have gone on and do a little better.” Wildlife Control and Tree Service 24-Hour Service Fully Insured 781-269-0914 73 Plummer Ave, Winthrop MA 02152 43 Winter St, Saugus MA 01906 4 Bed 1.5 Bath, sunroom, patio, deck, open concept living and dining, heated attic space, short distance to beach and park...............................$699,000 38 Main St., Saugus (781) 558-1091 mangorealtyteam.com Find us on Google and see what our clients have to say about us! 2 Bed 1 Bath, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, closed in porch, deck, fenced in yard, 1 car garage............................ sold for over asking Why leave your business or home in our hands?
