City Council President Anthony Cogliandro fi gures about 100 people sent him a copy of staff writer Andrew Brinker’s article about the residential construction industry and the troubles developers are facing. Brinker used Suff olk Downs as a symbol for the industry struggling with escalating material and labor costs as well as spiking interest rates.

In the article, Brinker described Suffolk Downs as a “sea of open land,” without workers, trucks or noise. “Three years after Suffolk Downs won city approvals, there was supposed to be a lot more going on by now on the nearly four dozen other buildings that will eventually rise at the 161-acre property. But housing construction at the site is on hold…” wrote Brinker. When asked if that was an accurate description of Suffolk Downs, HYM Cofounder and CEO Tom O’Brien said, “No, No, No, absolutely not, no way.” O’Brien said work Tom O’Brien HYM CEO (HYM website) has been ongoing and crews have been involved in infrastructure projects and fi - nal touches on the completed building where leases are now being signed. O’Brien said The Globe story was a fair description of the industry, which, he added, is in recession. He said HYM is working on agreements with the trades and labor organizations to make sure the numbers align with commitments to investors. For Revere, the worry is that revenue from Suffolk Downs is tied to the new high school and the city’s ability to pay for it without increasing taxes or calling for a proposition 2? override. “Tax revenue plays a huge O’BRIEN | SEE Page 4 HAPPY FOURTH: Revere seniors enjoyed theSenior Center July 4 Spectacular at St. Anthony of Padua Parish last Wednesday.Shown from left to right, are: Ward 4 City Councillor Paul Argenzio, School Committee member John Kingston, School Committee member Anthony Caggiano, Councillor-At-Large Juan Jaramillo, Michael Prizio, Deb Peczka DiGiulio, Ward 5 City Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya, Marian Maff eo, Regina Ferrara, Nina DeFreitas, Ann Eagan, Councillor-At-Large Anthony Zambuto, and Councillor-At-Large Robert Haas, representing State Senator Lydia Edwards, joined seniors.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 12, 2024 Page 3 Mass. Senate voting on fate of proposed Everett pro soccer stadium Advocate Staff Report T he Massachusetts Senate was expected to vote on a $2.8 billion economic development bill this week, which includes plans to transform a 43-acre parcel in Everett into a state-of-the-art, professional soccer stadium for the New England Revolution. The vote was expected to take place yesterday (after Advocate press deadline). A separate bill passed by the Mass. House in June — H.4804 — did not include plans for the stadium. If passed by the Senate, the measure would have to be resolved in a joint conference committee. The 43-acre parcel, which is located at 173 Alford St., is considered a part of the Mystic River Designated Port Area (DPA). The DPA designation would have to be removed for the stadium project to move forward. Even with the removal of DPA designation, the proposal would still undergo state environment reviews. The project also includes a four-acre waterfront park. The bill stipulates that if the stadium and waterfront park are not permitted and constructed within fi ve years, the DPA would be restored. In an April hearing, Revolution President Brian Bilello testified before a State House committee that the Kraft Group had signed agreements with trade union Unite Here and the Teamsters to build the project. Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria said during the April hearing that it would cost around $100 million to clean the site, and touted the economic and environmental benefi ts of building the stadium. “There’s no other industry that’s going to come here and spend that money to clean that up,” Mayor DeMaria testifi ed in April. State Senator Sal DiDomenico of Everett told State House News Service that “signing this bill will allow the public process to move forward on a project that will be an economic catalyst and environmental win for my constituents. This will open up the possibility for hundreds of millions of dollars in private investment, cleanup of a hazardous waste site, create good paying jobs and open our waterfront for the public to enjoy.” The Revolution have played in Gillette Stadium since 2001. Before that, the team played in the former Foxboro Stadium from 1996, when the team was founded, until 2001. Lawrence A.

Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 12, 2024 O’BRIEN | FROM Page 1 role in our ability to pay for the high school,” said Cogliandro. “But I don’t believe there’s anything to worry about.” Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto, no fan of the plan to build the new high school at Wonderland, said The Globe story was exactly what Tom O’Brien told the City Council when he met with them several weeks ago at the request of Councillor McKenna and Councillor-at-Large Michelle Kelley. The councillors wanted to quell rumors that the site was struggling. O’Brien said that HYM has already spent $550 million on the site and nobody is walking away. “We feel good about where we are,” said O’Brien. “We are building the site as fast as we can.” However, HYM is working in a tough economic climate. Councillor Kelley has raised concerns about the timing at Suff olk Downs and if there will be an impact on the city’s ability to meet its fi nancial obligations. Kelley said she is relying on a 2023 presentation from city CFO Richard Viscay that showed progress at Suff olk Downs would be a key factor in the high school funding. “I don’t think anyone is saying Suff olk Downs will go belly up but one would assume a slowdown would have some impact on the high school,” said Kelley. “I think we need to have a discussion about it.” But other councillors and Mayor Patrick Keefe feel confi dent that everything is on RON’S OIL Call For PRICE MELROSE, MA 02176 NEW CUSTOMER’S WELCOME ACCEPTING VISA, MASTERCARD & DISCOVER (781) 397-1930 OR (781) 662-8884 100 GALLON MINIMUM track. And they blame The Globe for being misleading. “The Globe story report was somewhat misleading and was even more interesting since they neglected to speak at all to the city or Mayor’s offi ce regarding the upcoming developments. We all know there has been a development slowdown with rising supply costs and interest rate hikes, however, Revere has and continues to be a steady investment for not only the likes of HYM but many other development fi rms local and national,” wrote Keefe in a statement to The Advocate. “While it’s not moving as fast as everyone anticipated six years ago, I am confi dent we will see the next phase moving in the late fall and subsequent phases going forward next spring,” added Keefe. “As far as funding a new high school, we have never relied solely on one project in our community and we remain confi dent in building a great school while continuing to deliver top notch services to meet our entire community’s needs,” said Keefe “The article said building was on hold indefi nitely,” said McKenna, who spoke with O’Brien personally, “that’s not true. He told me he is working with everybody to get it built.” McKenna said O’Brien will be back with the council on July 22 for another update on the project. She’s hoping for an announcement on who is lined up for the nine retail leases and fi ngers are crossed all over the city for Trader Joe’s. Cogliandro suggested the city is supposed to be getting some good news. O’Brien said that cycles are common in the residential construction industry and HYM and its investors understand that challenge. But HYM is working steadily to keep Suff olk Downs and the new high school moving forward. “Suff olk Downs is not stalled. “Everything is moving forward. Nobody is standing still,” said O’Brien. Keefe, a tireless cheerleader for Revere, said city leaders will continue to be vigilant about the progress of Suff olk Downs. “Much like the words in an article they are only as strong as the follow up and actions that follow, so stay tuned. I am confi dent Revere will continue to be a leader in many ways in the Greater Boston Area,” he said.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 12, 2024 Page 5 Invitation Declined WiN Waste innovations gave its offi cial “no thank you” to an offer from Ash landfi ll Closure Committee to participate as a nonvoting member By Mark E. Vogler he main order of business at the organizational meeting of the newly formed Ash Landfi ll Closure Committee was following through on repeated eff orts to include WIN Waste Innovations in future talks about timetables and specific matters related to closing the ash landfi ll located near the trash-to-energy incinerator on Route 107. WIN didn’t have any representatives attending the July 1 meeting held in the crowded fi rst fl oor conference room at Saugus Town Hall. But a spokeswoman for the company sent an email to Saugus Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta — a member of the five-member committee — expressing WIN’s decision to refrain from involvement with the committee’s proceedings. “While we do appreciate the off er, we respectfully decline the invitation to participate on a committee that has been T formed explicitly to attempt to dictate the future use of our private property,” WIN’s Sr. Director of Communications & Community, Mary Urban, told Panetta. “Our focus remains on fi nding a path forward for the most environmentally friendly option which we believe is to continue to utilize our monofi ll to safely manage the residual ash from our adjacent wasteto-energy facility while also providing tens of millions of dollars in economic and environmental benefi t to Saugus,” Urban continued in her email. “We will continue to send updates about the plant in addition to attending the monthly BOH meetings. We would also be happy to provide any further communication about our operations that you may need. Thank you.” Panetta had made several attempts to solicit WIN’s participation in the committee meetings before Urban emailed back, declining the invitations. RESPONDING TO REJECTION: During a July 1 meeting, Peter Manoogian (center) conferred with members of the Ash Landfi ll Closure Committee on how to respond to WIN Waste Innovations’ statement that the company will not participate in the committee’s future meetings. (Saugus Advocate photo by Mark E. Vogler) During Session 2 of this year’s Annual Saugus Town Meeting, members voted 44-0 — with one abstention — to create a five-member Ash Landfi ll Closure Committee with the purpose of identifying time frames for final closure, post-closure, maintenance and monitoring, postclosure economic reuse possibilities and other related issues that may be identifi ed, according to the article that was approved. A standing invitation Saugus Precinct 10 Town Meeting Member Peter Manoogian, who was voted chair of the Ash Landfill Closure Committee, told members that the committee should continue to send WIN invitations to participate while continuing to brief the company on the committee’s future meetings.

Page 6 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 12, 2024 INVITATION | FROM Page 5 meeting is set for 6:15 p.m. on Sept. 16 in the fi rst-fl oor conference room at Saugus Town Hall. “At this time, they’re not going to attend,” Manoogian told the five-member committee. Manoogian reminded members that representatives of the Aggregate Industries Saugus Quarry had also initially rejected off ers to participate in closure of its quarry, but later joined in the closure committee talks with the town. Manoogian broached the question as to whether the Town Meeting-created panel should continue to meet despite WIN’s refusal to participate in the proceedings. It was unanimous that the committee continue with its work as endorsed nearly unanimously by Town Meeting. “Maybe they will change their minds,” Panetta told her colleagues. “They’re going to have to close. Let’s have the discussion,” Panetta said. Saugus Precinct 10 Town Meeting Member Carla A. Scuzzarella, another Town Meeting member appointed to the committee, agreed that the committee should proceed with its work. “I think we should continue and keep inviting them,” Scuzzarella said. “We can’t ignore the fact that we need a plan [for closure],” she said. Selectman Michael Serino, a longtime participant in talks between the town and WIN over issues involving the incinerator and ash landfill, J& • Reliable Mowing Service • Spring & Fall Cleanups • Mulch & Edging • Sod or Seed Lawns • Shrub Planting & Trimming • Water & Sewer Repairs Joe Pierotti, Jr. stressed that it is important for him and fellow committee members to move forward — with or without WIN’s involvement. “I say we continue,” Serino said. “The state has been after WIN to develop a post-closure plan,” he added. Saugus Town Administrative Aide Jeanette Meredith, Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree’s designate to the committee, said she will “keep reaching out” to local WIN representative Jack Walsh to get WIN to participate in the committee’s activities. Most of the seats in the small conference room were taken by citizens from Lynn, Revere, Saugus and the Boston area. They included several Saugus Town Meeting members, a representative of S LANDSCAPE & MASONRY CO.

There is no “end date” on the committee’s existence, according to Manoogian, who authored the article that created the committee. “We will give a report to Town Meeting every time Town Meeting convenes,” Manoogian said. The committee’s ongoing agenda Manoogian stressed that it is important for the committee to act as a fact-fi nding body to provide the town with important information related to the ash landfi ll and potential alternative uses of the landfi ll once the state has established a specifi c deadline for its closure. “We need to become familiar with everything that’s related to this landfi ll,” Manoogian told committee members. “Information gathering — what’s out there in the public realm. Maybe another person will go down to DEP with me to look at what’s in the public realm,” he said. Several committee members expressed concerns with WIN’s reluctance to give up hopes of future expansion of the ash landfi ll — an unlikely scenario, considering the current position of the state Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP). The last two state DEP commissioners have said that no expansion of the ash landfi ll would be allowed under the current state environmental regulations. Members also said they wonder about WIN’s continued support of a nonbinding Host Community Agreement (HCA), which selectmen supported a year ago on a 3-2 vote as a precautionary measure in case the state weakens environmental regulations related to the landfi ll. That HCA has no legal basis, under state law and under the Town of Saugus Charter. Furthermore, any HCA would have to be negotiated by the town manager and wouldn’t take effect unless the state allowed the company to expand its ash landfi ll. If the state loosens the regulations at the ash landfill, the Board of Health would have authority to conduct site modifi cation hearings to ultimately decide whether and how expansion of the ash landfi ll would proceed. Saugus would receive $20 million over the next 20 years while WIN Waste could continue use of the ash landfi ll, according to the hypothetical HCA supported by a majority of the selectmen. “Selectmen have no authority to engage in a Host Community Agreement,” Manoogian told the Ash Landfi ll Closure Committee last week. “It’s like they’re [WIN officials] trying to turn the tables backwards to suit themselves. It doesn’t make sense,” Manoogian said. “Fortunately, the town manager has said he doesn’t have authority to do this [negotiate an HCA at the present time]. I think they’re hoping there will be a groundswell of support to give them what they want,” he said. Manoogian reminded the committee that WIN is so committed to continued use of the ash landfill that this past spring it began trucking ash to a company disposal site in Shrewsbury in an eff ort to prolong the life of the ash landfi ll. The company announced that six trucks a day were leaving the plant, traveling from Route 107 South to Route 60 East to Route 1A South to Route 90 West. WIN Waste offi cials told the Board of Health that the trucks would transport about 4,500 tons of ash off site per month, adding life to a landfi ll that one company offi cial said last year was expected to reach its capacity by the end of 2025. “They’re taking 50 percent of the ash out every week,” Manoogian said. He added that he believes company offi cials are “hoping that something will happen … the town government will change,” enabling the company to expand the ash landfi ll for several decades. “I know this — they’ll never give up,” Manoogian said. “Neither will we,” he added.
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 12, 2024 Page 7 Chelsea man pleads guilty to federal charges of selling fraudulent Social Security and ‘Green Cards’ R ecently, a Chelsea man pleaded guilty to selling fraudulent Social Security cards and Legal Permanent Resident cards — often referred to as “Green Cards.” Wilberto Sandoval Mazariego, 40, pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful transfer of a document or authentication feature. U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs scheduled sentencing for Oct. 3, 2024. During an investigation into Tomas Xirum for selling fraudulent Green Cards and fraudulent Social Security cards, law enforcement allegedly identifi ed Sandoval Mazariego as the creator of the fraudulent documents Xirum was selling. Following Xirum’s arrest in August 2022, law enforcement found a text message string between Xirum and Sandoval Mazariego that contained approximately 568 attachments. Xirum would regularly text Sandoval Mazariego pictures of unknown persons along with a name, date of birth and country of birth — to which Sandoval Mazariego would later respond with pictures of Social Security cards and/or Green Cards with the person’s photo and information that Xirum provided. On Aug. 17, 2023, Sandoval Mazariego sold a fraudulent Green Card and a fraudulent Social Security card to an undercover agent. On Oct 3, 2023, Sandoval Mazariego was arrested after leaving his Chelsea residence. During a search of his residence, all items necessary to produce counterfeit forms of identification were found, including two laminators, card stock paper, photo paper, glue, trimmers and printers. Also recovered were nine Legal Permanent Resident cards, six Social Security cards and fi ve driver’s licenses. Five of the recovered Social Security cards contained the names provided by the undercover agent to Sandoval Mazariego as part of the investigation. A total of $17,095 in cash was also recovered from the residence. Sandoval Mazariego was indicted by a federal grand jury in October 2023. On Aug. 21, 2023, Xirum pleaded guilty to three counts of unlawful transfer of document or authentication feature and three counts of unlawful production of document or authentication feature. In January 2024, Xirum was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Acting U.S. Attorney Joshua S. Levy and the Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in New England, Michael J. Krol, made the case announcement. Assistant U.S. Attorney David G. Tobin of the Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case. The investigation was conducted by Homeland Security Investigation’s Document and Benefi t Fraud Task Force, a specialized investigative group comprising personnel from various state, local and federal agencies with expertise in detecting, deterring and disrupting organizations and individuals involved in various types of document, identity and benefi t fraud schemes.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 12, 2024 Page 13 Anthony P. “Tony” Sacco O f Revere. Joined his beloved wife Joan, who he missed every single day, in Heaven on Saturday, July 6, 2024. He was 89. His departure from this earth was as unexpected as it was sorrowful, leaving a void in the hearts of those who loved him. Tony was born on February 24, 1935 to the late Peter and Anna (Belmonte) Sacco. He was a lifelong resident of Revere with the exception of his time in the Airforce from which he was honorably discharged in 1962. Tony married his high school sweetheart Joan (Ciampa) in 1956. They raised six children in the home where Tony was born. He loved his wife dearly; they were the best of friends and were inseparable. After Tony retired from the US Postal Service, Tony and Joan would spend winters in Florida where they had many friends. When not in Florida, Tony could be found at his daughter Antonia’s restaurant, Periwinkles, slicing meat, frying eggplant or doing whatever else he could to help his daughter. That’s how Tony lived his life... helping people without hesitation. He was devoted to his family and for many years worked two or more jobs to provide for them. Tony owned and operated Swim World of Revere for many years, building swimming pools all over the Northshore. Sacco RE was where Tony helped people fulfill their dreams of home ownership. He serviced many a Singer sewing machine! His absolute favorite pastime was spending time with his family and looked forward to every visit. His love, kindness, and wisdom touched the lives of everyone around him. By the way he lived his life, he taught his children the value of hard work, perseverance, and the importance of family. He was a man of unwavering faith and a lifelong member of the parish of Saint Anthony in Revere. His life exemplified humility, compassion and kindness. He had a huge heart and will always be remembered by his family and friends for sharing that heart. Tony was predeceased by his wife Joan, his parents, his siblings Jessie, Evelyn, Marie, Frank and Nicholas. His memory will be cherished and kept alive by his children Audrey (Dennis) Kivley, Adrienne Sacco (Daniel) Maguire, Alisa (Louis Morelli) Sacco, Antonia (Edward) Steriti, Anthony (Erin) Sacco and Peter Sacco; his grandchildren Dennis, Arianna, Michaela, Alexa, Alea, Whitney, Meghan and Anna; great grandchildren Dennis, Steven, Christian and Edward and his grandpup Gabe.

There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. CLEAN FUEL STANDARDS (S 2829) Senate 1-39, rejected an amendment that would force transportation fuel providers to comply with new clean fuel standards set by the Department of Energy Resources. The amendment would create a credit system to penalize providers who do not meet those standards. Collected credits from public entities will be used to fund projects aimed at clean energy and transportation projects that disadvantaged communities need. “This amendment was a measure that would have had a drastic impact on reducing emissions while also creating a benefit for local transportation infrastructure in the communities that need it most,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Mark Pacheco (D-Taunton). Amendment opponents offered no arguments during floor debate. Sen. Mike Barrett (D-Lexington), a lead sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on his opposition to this amendment. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against the amendment.) Sen. Lydia Edwards No OFFSHORE WIND (S 2829) Senate 2-38, rejected an amendment that would give the governor’s executive branch the right to procure offshore wind projects without the need to go through the Legislature. “This amendment would provide the Executive Branch with more flexibility and would eliminate the necessity of having to seek the Legislature’s approval for how much megawattage they are able to procure from clean energy projects,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Marc Pacheco (D-Taunton). “The Healey-Driscoll Administration should be able to go out and solicit multiple forms of clean energy at the same time, as long as they are moving toward meeting the overall emissions requirements by 2050.” Amendment opponents offered no arguments during floor debate. Sen. Mike Barrett (D-Lexington), a lead sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on his opposition to this amendment. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against the amendment.) Sen. Lydia Edwards No FLOOD RISK (S 2829) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would require the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs to review existing flood risk mapping resources in the state and assess the need for and feasibility of creating additional flood risk mapping resources to identify areas vulnerable to current and future flooding across the state. fects of climate change on our vulnerable communities while continuing to rely on traditional approaches like insurance and federal assistance is inadequate and inequitable,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Marc Pacheco (DTaunton). “As damages from flooding become more frequent and costly, and our traditional options for addressing these issues become inadequate, we need a novel and equitable way to protect and relocate people and property.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL ALLOW VIRTUAL MEETINGS OF CONDO ASSOCIATIONS (H 1338)- The House approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would allow condominium assocation boards to hold meetings virtually and vote on issues electronically. “This bill will allow for more participation in condo associations,” said sponsor Rep. Kevin Honan (D-Boston). “It provides convenience for all involved in the maintenance and care of their condos.” FIRE CHIEF MUST BE A FORMER FIREFIGHTER (H 2347) — The House gave initial approval to legislation that would require that any candidates for appointment to the position of Fire Chief, Fire Commissioner or head of a fire department in any city or town, must have been a uniformed member of the Massachusetts firefighting force of a Massachusetts Fire Department for a minimum of five years. Supporters said this would ensure that anyone appointed to one of these high positions has some hands-on experience as a firefighter and has come up through the ranks. Rep. Dan Hunt (D-Boston), the sponsor of the measure, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on his bill and its passage. ALLOW ELECTRONIC RECEIPT FOR DELIVERY OF FUEL OILS AND PROPANE (H 4132) — The House approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would allow companies to send customers an electronic delivery receipt for the bulk sale of fuel oils and propane. “Massachusetts is one of the last states to update this antiquated system of delivery of receipts/invoices from bulk sales,” said sponsor Rep. Jeff Roy (D-Franklin). “In today’s world of technology, it only makes sense that the delivery of receipts/invoices can be safely and efficiently transmitted to the consumer without having to leave a paper bill at the door or mailbox. Many if not most businesses already operate this way and there is no good reason not to advance bulk sales in this direction as well particularly as the consumer would have a choice in the method of delivery.” Supporters also noted that customers frequently complain about the current practice of the company leaving bags with receipts on their doorknobs or in their mailboxes. They said leaving the receipts in a USPS mailbox is not permitted by law and also leaves consumers vulnerable to identity fraud. They also pointed out that leaving a plastic bag which might remain on the doorknob for several days is a clear signal to would-be criminals that the homeowner is not home and might be traveling. HOSPITAL HELIPADS (H 2400) — The House gave initial approval to a bill that would ban non-emergency aircraft from practicing training maneuvers, including simulated landings, practice approaches, turns about a point and power off turns, within a two nautical mile vicinity of a hospital with a helipad. Aircraft would be allowed to fly directly over the helipad as long as they are not performing these maneuvers and are flying at an altitude of over 2,000 feet. “As a representative from a district with a hospital that operates a helipad, I filed this bill after much input from the public,” said sponsor Rep. Dan Sena (D-Acton). “I heard from constituents that recreational aircraft often utilized the helipad for training flights and maneuvers that were completely unrelated to the operation of the hospital, which had a significant impact on those in the area. This bill is designed to ensure that hospital helipads are kept open and safe to ensure they are always prepared for an emergency and free of interference.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “These projects are a direct result of the governor’s tax relief bill. Our vacancy rate is at an all-time low, and these awards will create much needed multi-family housing across our state.” ---Housing and Livable Communities Secretary Augustus announcing $27 million in Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP) awards to create 547 total new units in 11 Gateway Cities across the Bay State. “Access to affordable, highquality early education and child care is essential. By actively engaging with the needs and challenges of families and providers, we can develop transformative policies that empower our workforce, drive economic growth and ensure a brighter future for our children. Together, we will create an early education system that benefits every resident of Massachusetts.” --- Secretary of Economic Development Yvonne Hao announcing the Healey Administration will be holding a series of listening sessions across the state in July and August to inform the Early Education and Child Care Task Force’s recommendations and broader strategy to ensure accessible and affordable highquality childcare for all families. For a list of locations and dates and/or to register to attend these sessions or provide input go to: Mass.gov/ChildCareTaskForce “Once again, Massachusetts taxes punish success. While there is only one NBA Championship team, there are many businesses and highincome earners making the same decision as the owner of the Celtics. If Massachusetts ever wants to be economically competitive again, it must eliminate the income surtax and estate tax. These two taxes punish success and today is another great example of its economic harm.” ---Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, reacting to news reports that Wye Grousbeck announced that he will be selling his majority interest in the Boston Celtics for “estate and family planning considerations.” “Almost seven out of ten Massachusetts students are eating school lunch, which means over half a million students are getting nutritious meals.

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.

CAN A SETTLOR OF AN IRREVOCABLE MEDICAID QUALIFYING TRUST RECEIVE PRINCIPAL DISTRIBUTIONS? T he Trustee of an irrevocable trust is prohibited from distributing any principal from the Trust to the Settlor (the person creating the Trust) in order for the Trust assets not to be counted for MassHealth purposes. A typical irrevocable Trust, will however, provide for the income generated from the underlying Trust assets to be distributed to the Settlor. In this instance, the Settlor would be the income benefi ciary. The Settlor or Settlors, as the case may be, would presumably be paying for monthly living expenses with other sources of monthly income such as pension income and social security income. The interest and dividend income generated from the Trust’s liquid assets and net rental income, assuming rental real estate was also placed inside the irrevocable Trust, would be additional sources of monthly income to be utilized by the Settlor in order to meet his or her monthly expenses. The Settlors would have to look to other assets held outside of the irrevocable Trust in order to gain access to needed resources. For example, an IRA or a 401(k) account. These assets are typically not funded into an irrevocable Trust as they would fi rst have to be liquidated with corresponding income taxes to be paid. That situation could be a last resort if the Settlor needed to qualify for MassHealth. Sometimes, people will gradually cash out these retirement accounts in order to stretch out the income over several years, thereby saving a lot of money in taxes. If a $300,000 IRA, for example, needed to be cashed out in one year in order to transfer to a spouse for MassHealth eligibility, the taxes in that one year would be substantial. There is also typically a provision in the irrevocable Trust that would allow for a distribution of principal to a member of a class consisting of children and grandchildren. This is a way to get principal out of the irrevocable Trust. However, under no circumstances, can the distribution of principal go to the Settlor. I suppose at that point, once funds are in the hands of the children or grandchildren, they are free to do what they want with the money, including possibility purchasing something that might just benefi t the Settlor. Of course, a child or grandchild can certainly do that with his or her own money anyway. So it should not make a diff erence in a situation where funds are distributed from such a Trust to a child or grandchild and those funds are actually used to purchase goods or services for the Settlor. There is always a risk that the child will take the money and run. But when the Settlor reserves a “special power of appointment, exercisable via his or her Last Will and Testament, the Settlor could effectively disinherit a child or grandchild by “appointing” the Trust principal to someone else. This special power of appointment ends up giving a lot of control to the Settlor over the ultimate distribution of Trust assets. Joseph D.

July 12, 2024 Studies and funded through the Federal Transit Administration, is intended to identify and address contributing factors leading to transportation insecurity. The MPO’s team of transportation planners will design a pilot to supplement the MBTA’s low-income fare program with access to low-cost community electric vehicle car-sharing options for affordable housing residents in Revere, Chelsea and Everett. The MPO will undertake this work in partnership with Good2Go, a nonprofit electric vehicle carshare organization, with support from the Metropolitan Area Planning Council, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Union Capital and The Neighborhood Developers. Upon completion of the project, the MPO will be eligible to apply for additional funding to implement the pilot. “With this grant, the MPO will have the opportunity to better understand the mobility and accessibility needs of the communities we serve,” said Boston Region MPO Executive Director Tegin Teich. “We’re eager to collaborate with our partners to design multimodal solutions that reduce barriers and address gaps in travel options for residents in Revere, Chelsea, and Everett.” “Carsharing offers a complement, not competition, for existing public transit,” said Good2Go Executive Director Susan Buchan. “We look forward to partnering with the Boston Region MPO to evaluate the combination of public transit and electric car-sharing as a cost-effective, easily implementable solution to equitable, clean, and affordable transportation.” “As a community convener, Union Capital frequently hears from our members on issues of accessing affordable and accessible public transit,” said Union Capital Founder/ Lead Organizer Eric Leslie. “We look forward to supporting the MPO in this project, connecting residents with the planning team, and contributing to the improvement of transportation equity in the Boston region.” More information about the MATI program is available at the University of Minnesota’s Center for Transportation Studies website. The Boston Region MPO is the regional agency responsible for conducting the transportation planning process for the Boston metropolitan area, which includes 97 cities and towns totaling 3.4 million residents. The MPO develops a vision for transportation in the region and allocates federal and state transportation funds to programs and infrastructure projects that improve infrastructure for people walking, biking, taking transit and driving.
