Before Monday night’s City Council meeting, fl owers and a photo of Rotondo were placed in front of the former councillor’s City Council Chambers seat, as City Council President Gerry Visconti called for a moment of silence. “This weekend, the city of Revere lost one of its own,” said Visconti. “We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Councillor George Rotondo. He was a colleague, a neighbor and a dear friend.” Visconti said Rotondo served the city and on the council for over 14 years in the best way he knew how. “Those that knew George know that he was a councillor that wasn’t afraid of voicing his opin781-286-8500 Friday, September 16, 2022 City officials, Fire and Police personnel honor the fallen on the 21st anniversary of Sept. 11th GEORGE ROTONDO Councillor-at-Large ion on difficult issues, and the conversations we will be having in these chambers moving forward will not be the same without him,” said Visconti. “On behalf of the entire City Council, we would like to express our sincerest condolences to the Rotondo family, MOURNS | SEE Page 16 Councillor wants increased security at dog park By Adam Swift W ard 6 City Councillor Richard Serino wants the City of Revere to provide some extra security measures at the Paws & Play Dog Park on Sargent Street. At Monday night’s City Council meeting, Serino introduced an order asking that funds from the city’s dog park revolving account be used to install a security camera at the park due to issues with dogs being abandoned at the park and with aggressive dogs attacking other dogs and people. “This is pretty sickening – that I have to put this in for this reason, but last month someone abandoned two Maltese dogs [at the park],” said Serino. A local kennel owner did take the two dogs in, but Serino said it was still despicable that someone would just drop off their dogs and abandon them. “Having a camera there, at least we’d be able to see a license plate or catch somebody,” Serino said. There have also been other issues at the park that could be alleviated in part with the installation of a security camera, Serino said. “Dogs have attacked other SECURITY | SEE Page 17 IN SOLEMN REMEMBRANCE: City offi cials and fi refi ghters stand in remembrance of lives lost during Sunday’s 21st anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Monday night, the City Council unanimously approved residency waivers for Mayor Brian Arrigo’s appointments of Tom Skwierawski as the new Chief of Planning and Development, and Lauren Buck as the new Chief of Health and Human Services. Skwierawski currently serves as the planning and community development director in the city of Fitchburg, while Buck is taking a step up from her current role as public health director in Revere. OUR OFFICE HAS MOVED TO 519 BROADWAY, EVERETT SABATINO INSURANCE AGENCY 519 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 PHONE: (617) 387-7466 FAX: (617) 381-9186 Visit us online at: Rocco Longo, Owner WWW.SABATINO-INS.COM LAUREN BUCK new Chief of Health and Human Services “[Skwierawski] has an extensive background in the development of city plans, aff ordable housing advocacy, and grant writing,” Arrigo stated in a letter to the council. “Tom also holds a Masters in urban planning from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. I am confi dent that Tom will be highly eff ective in his role as Chief of Planning and Community Development and that he will work diligently to execute the goals established in the Next Stop Revere Master Plan.” Skwierawski said the role he has in Fitchburg is pretty similar to the one he will be stepping into in Revere. “We have a housing and development division that looks over our CDBG and home allocations from the federal government; we have a planning division that serves as a liaison to the planning board and the conservation commission, working big projects through the permitting process; and we have an economic development division focused on small business to Amazon, working with all businesses as the chief liaison TOM SKWIERAWSKI Chief of Planning and Development through the permitting process,” Skwierawski said. He said he loves the job he is doing today and wouldn’t leave except for the fact that he drives about an hour per day to get to work in Fitchburg from his home in Melrose. “Ultimately, I wasn’t actively looking for work; I was looking for the right thing,” Skwierawski said. “I’ve seen many opportunities a quick drive away that I turned away, and this is the only job that I applied for since I’ve been in Fitchburg because I recognize what Revere is doing. I think this will be an incredible city – to be a part of the growth that’s taking place here – and I’d love to be a part of it.” Buck comes into her new role as someone who has already garnered much respect in the city and with the City Council for her role as public health director during the Covid-19 pandemic. Buck has a Master of Public Health with a Health Policy and Law Concentration from Boston University, 10 years of clinical nursing experience and two years of municipal public health experience. “Lauren joined the Revere Public Health Department during unprecedented times, and at every turn, she rose to the occasion, working across all departments to maintain operations and providing information and support to residents throughout the pandemic,” stated Arrigo. “I am confi dent that Lauren will continue to serve the city of Revere admirably as Chief of Health and Human Services.” City Council President Gerry Visconti was one of several councillors who praised Buck for her work during the pandemic. “I think it is a position that is well deserved with all of the hours you’ve put into your current position and what you did during the pandemic,” he said. Buck said she is grateful for the opportunity. “I learn every day. I make mistakes every day. I’ll learn every day and make mistakes every day in this job, but I couldn’t love working here more,” she said.
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 Page 3 Silvestri wants discussion on economic impact of marijuana sales By Adam Swift I t’s been nearly five years since the Revere City Council banned the sale of recreational marijuana within the city limits in the wake of the statewide vote to legalize weed. One City Councillor said he thinks it might be time to take a closer look at the impact that ban has had on Revere. At Monday night’s City Council meeting, Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri introduced a motion asking that the council conduct a fi nancial impact study relative to medical and recreational marijuana within the city. “This is a motion that is very important to me,” said Silvestri, adding that a deep dive into the economic generation marijuana sales could bring to the city would be helpful. “I’m not asking for anyone to change their vote, just to agree that we can have educated information on what cities and localities around us are making, how many they have and the laws they have put into place and how they use them.” Silvestri said there is a three money that we have the ability to do that with in the city,” he said. “I think a study like this is important for us because there are people in the city that are moving forward to put this on the ballot, and I think we should have our ducks in a row before that is done.” Ward 4 Councillor Patrick MARC SILVESTRI Councillor-at-Large percent tax on recreational marijuana that Revere is missing out on. “We sit up here tonight and we talk about the lack of money [for traffi c enforcement]; we talk about the lack of money for parks and recreational activities and education,” said Silvestri. The money raised through the marijuana tax could be spent at the discretion of the council, Silvestri said. “We don’t often have RevereTV Spotlight A new episode of “Focus on Health” is now airing on RevereTV. This program features Revere’s Director of Public Health, Lauren Buck, discussing the city’s top health programs, concerns and initiatives.

Competitive prices on all Brands, Great Selection Keefe, who voted to ban marijuana sales inside the city limits in 2017, said he would support Silvestri’s motion for the study, but to not expect him to go any further in support of recreational marijuana sales in the city. “I will say that I have not been an advocate for this necessarily in the city,” said Keefe, who also noted that there is an active license that was grandfathered in for marijuana sales on Railroad Avenue. “There is nothing being done about that, so I will just say that if the money is so great and it’s such a thriving business that you’d think people would be hurdling over themselves to get something done over on Railroad Avenue. I will support the councillor in his want for more information because I respect his opinion, but will not be supporting much further after that regardless of the information we get.” Silvestri said that marijuana sales are now a billion dollar business in Massachusetts that has brought in over a half million dollars in revenue to neighboring cities like Boston and Lynn. Keefe said his statement that understand where he stands on the issue. City Council President Gerry Visconti said the discussion would continue at a future date at an Economic Subcommittee meeting. “I want to reiterate that this is only for a discussion; we are not asking anybody for a vote on where they stand on this,” said Visconti.

Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 A call to oppose expansion of ash landfill Precinct 10 Town Meeting members gain enough signatures for Special Town Meeting in Saugus next month By Mark E. Vogler S augus Town Meeting members will get to vote later this fall on another resolution that would ban the expansion of the ash landfi ll on Route 107 near WIN Waste Innovations’ trash-to-energy plant. The four Precinct 10 Town MeetThe Christian Flag will FLY Please JOIN US September 21, 2022 at 4pm Revere City Hall 280 Broadway Revere MA Home of America’s First Public Beach Local Faith Leaders: Hal Shurtleff, Camp Constitution Rev. Steven Kraft, Christian Citizenship Ministries Pastor Earl Wallace, Liberty Christian Fellowship Church ing members who initiated the article secured more than 200 signatures this week – enough to call for a Special Town Meeting in late October. “It is Therefore Resolved that the Representatives in Town Meeting, here assembled, convey our opposition to any further extension of the WIN ash landfi ll located on Route 107 and urge our state delegation to oppose any eff ort to modify the law or regulations relative to the Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC),” says the article, which was signed by Town Meeting Members Martin Costello, Darren Ring, Peter Z. Manoogian, Sr., and Carla A. Scuzzarella. “This resolution will be sent to the entire delegation for Saugus as well as the DEP Commissioner,” it continued. Peter Delios, a member of the Landfi ll Subcommittee, is the lone Precinct 10 Town Meeting member who did not sign the petition supporting the proposed resolution. He recently voted in support of the WIN deal as a subcommittee member – an apparent reversal from his past position – which opposed expansion of the ash landfi ll. The Saugus Advocate attempted to reach him for comment this week, but he did not return calls. A petition for the proposed warrant article accompanied 213 certified signatures was filed with the Saugus Town Clerk’s Offi ce on Wednesday (Sept. 14) – less than a week before the Board of Selectmen are set to begin discussions on WIN Waste Innovations’ proposed deal to pay the town up to $18-million in return for permission to extend the life of its ash landfi ll 25 years. The board’s meeting to consider WIN’s Host Community Agreement (HCA) is scheduled for 7 p.m. next Tuesday (Sept. 20) in the second fl oor auditorium at Town Hall. Members of the Landfi ll Subcommittee, co-chaired by Board of Selectmen Chair Anthony Cogliano and Board of Health Chair William Heff ernan, voted 5 to 1 with two abstentions in support of a motion to accept WIN Waste Innovation’s latest proposal and forward it to the Board of Selectmen. Meanwhile, State Rep. Jessica Giannino (D-Revere), whose district includes Precincts 3 and 10 in Saugus, and state Rep. Jeff rey Turco (D-Winthrop), along with the Alliance For Health and Environment, are hosting a meeting set for 6 p.m. Sept. 28 in the second fl oor auditorium of Saugus Town Hall at 298 Central St. The hosts have invited DEP offi cials to appear at the meeting to answer questions about the future of the landfill. Adoption of WIN’s HCA is contingent on whether DEP permits the company to expand an ash landfi ll that is expected to meet its capacity by the end of 2025. Any deal would also require input and backing from town offi cials, particularly the Board of Health. But, ultimately, the responsibility for negotiating a deal with WIN would rest with Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree. The resolution initiated by four of the fi ve Precinct 10 Town Meeting members would be the latest in a series of various votes by Town Meeting and previous Boards of Selectmen opposing expansion of the ash landfi ll. “This would be no more or less symbolic than what the Landfi ll Subcommittee or the Board of Selectmen can do,” Precinct 10 Town Meeting Member Peter Manoogian said this week. “Under our Town Charter, neither the selectmen, or any subcommittee – or even Town Meeting – for that matter, can sign a host agreement. The Town Manager is the only one who can do that,” he said. Manoogian said he hopes selectmen will vote at next Tuesday night’s meeting to set a date for the Special Town Meeting, which must be held within 45 days of the time that selectmen call for the meeting. Manoogian said he expects the meeting to be set for late October, based on conversations he had this week with the Town Clerk’s Offi ce. "While a chairman can set the agenda for an elected Board, in this case the people who signed the petition have set the agenda for Town Meeting. And selectmen are required to call for the Special Town Meeting," Manoogian said. Here is a copy of the resolution that Town Meeting members will consider at the upcoming Special Town Meeting: We the members of Saugus Town Meeting, the elected body that is the closest representative body to the citizens of Saugus, hereby adopt the following resolution: Whereas on November 16, 2021 Martin Suuberg, the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection, provided written communication that the (WIN landfi ll) fails to meet the necessary site suitability criteria to allow for expansion within the ACEC (Area of Critical Environmental Concern) and that such an expansion proposal, under current regulations, “would not advance to the Saugus Board of Health.”; Whereas the constituent properties of WIN's incinerator ash include toxic heavy metals and compounds not limited to but inclusive of Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic and Mercury (known carcinogens and neuro-toxins) and that such represent a threat to the public health and the environment of Saugus, Revere, and Lynn. Whereas property values in East Saugus already lag behind the rest of the Town, agreeing to any creation or expansion of an incinerator ash dump at its present location would further adversely impact the property values in this area of Saugus. Whereas, Saugus Town Meeting has never allowed one precinct to accept unfair risks and burdens over the objection and concerns of the town meeting members of the aff ected precinct – Precinct 10; It is Therefore Resolved that the Representatives in Town Meeting, here assembled, convey our opposition to any further extension of the WIN ash landfi ll located on Route 107 and urge our state delegation to oppose any eff ort to modify the law or regulations relative to the Areas of Critical EnvironmenLANDFILL | SEE Page 11

(ACEC) This resolution will be sent to the entire delegation for Saugus as well as the DEP Commissioner.” A major obstacle to any deal would be whether the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) would allow extending the life of the ash landfi ll. MassDEP Commissioner Martin Suuberg shared his concerns in a Nov. 16, 2021 letter to State Rep Turco: “Any future proposals for expansion would require a modifi - cation to the facility's site assignment and approval from MassDEP and the Saugus Board of Health. As the landfi ll is located within an ACEC, an expansion of the landfi ll (including vertical expansion) would need to meet the site suitability criteria in the Regulations with respect to the site assignment. “While an applicant is free to propose a site assignment modifi cation, and MassDEP will review information submitted, based upon the information presently before MassDEP, the facility fails to meet the necessary site suitability criteria to allow for expansion within the ACEC and therefore would not receive a positive site suitability determination. Without a positive site suitability determination from MassDEP, a proposal to amend the facility's site assignment to allow for vertical expansion would not advance to the Saugus Board of Health for consideration.” Put Your Money To Work! 3.00% APY* 24-Month Certificate Earn More at Mass Bay!

Patriots run into buzzsaw against Peabody By Greg Phipps L eading into last Friday’s season opener at Peabody, Revere High School football Head Coach Lou Cicatelli emphasized the importance of what a victory over a strong program like Peabody would do for his team’s chances of landing a berth in this year’s playoff tournament. Despite finishing last season with an overall 8-2 record, the Patriots were denied a spot in the tournament based mostly on strength of schedule. On Friday, Revere didn’t get the 2022 season off to a promising start. The host Tanners proved to be an unstoppable buzzsaw and rolled to an impressive 40-0 shutout victory. Peabody quarterback Shea Lynch had a monster game, throwing for 174 yards and four touchdowns. All told, the Tanners produced 280 yards of offense. The Patriots found themselves in a 24-0 hole by halftime, and Peabody put up 16 more points in the third quarter to secure the win. Meanwhile, Revere struggled on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Carlos Rizo completed just three passes for 40 yards (one was a 27-yarder on the team’s fi rst off ensive play). The Patriots mustered just 66 yards of total off ense against a stingy Tanner defense. Chris Cassidy was on the receiving end of Revere’s one sizable gain (the 27-yard completion), while Domenic Boudreau hauled in two passes for 13 yards. Maykin Gonzalez was the leading rusher for the Patriots with 16 yards on three carries.

He will be missed by many, and may he rest in peace, my friend.” The outspoken city councillor was elected three times as a Ward 4 Councillor and fi ve times to his most recent at-large seat, and he worked as a professional certifi ed nurse. In 2011, Rotondo ran for mayor against fellow City Councillor Dan Rizzo in a heated race where Rizzo won by over 1,500 votes. Rotondo’s last municipal election in 2021 was a close one, where he defeated longtime fellow Councillor at-Large Anthony Zambuto by about 30 votes in a contest that went to a recount. Zambuto will be elevated to Rotondo’s at-large seat for the remainder of the City Council term. Even with the close recount election, Zambuto said he counted Rotondo as a friend. “It’s very sad; it’s a tragedy and was so unexpected,” said Zambuto. “George Help Wanted - Grocery Delivery Assistant ~ HELP WANTED ~ Experienced Oil Truck Driver wanted.

We didn’t always agree on everything, but we were certainly friends.” Before the recount, Zambuto said, he and Rotondo shook hands and said they would remain friends no matter the outcome. “He was very respectful,” said Zambuto. “I never dreamed that something like this would happen. He had a good heart and wanted what was best for the city.” Zambuto said he was planning to run to regain a council seat in 2023, and that this was not the way he wanted to return to the council, but that he will fulfi ll his duty.

First responders found Rotondo unresponsive inside the apartment and immediately began fi rst aid but were unable to resuscitate him. A State Police detective and a trooper from the department’s crime services section responded to the scene, which State Police stated is standard procedure for unattended deaths. Troopers and Revere officers observed no signs of struggle or foul play at the scene. The Offi ce of the Chief Medical Examiner was expected to conduct a post-mortem examination to determine the cause and manner of death. In a late motion at Monday night’s meeting, the council approved sending special legislation to the state delegation that would enable the city to pay Rotondo’s estate the total amount of his council salary for the remainder of his term, a total of just under $40,000.
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 SECURITY | FROM Page 1 How to Find Travel Companions for Older Travelers Dear Savvy Senior, I am interested in fi nding some type of travel escort service to help my elderly parents fl y across the country. My son is getting married in the fall and would love for my parents to attend, but they’re both in their 80s with health issues, so they’ll need help getting there. Can you direct me to any travel services that can help us? Looking for Assistance Dear Looking, Traveling can be challenging under the best circumstances, but for seniors with medical problems, physical limitations or dementia it can be unmanageable. Fortunately, there are a bevy of companies today that provide traveling companion/ escort services to help older adults with the rigors of travel. A good travel escort can provide your parents with transportation to and from the airport, manage their luggage, navigate and assist them through the airport, sit next to them on the fl ight, help them to their hotel and much more. Some companion services even provide personal care like medication management, dressing, bathing and feeding. And for those with specifi c medical needs, traveling nurse services are available too. But be aware that these services aren’t cheap. You will pay for the travel companion’s tickets, the companion’s hotel room if necessary, meals, incidentals and fees for the service. The price to accompany a client on a plane trip within the United States – including the companion fees and travel costs for all parties – can range anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000 or more, depending on the fl ight transfers and length of the trip. To locate a travel companion service in your area, search online for “senior travel companion” or “senior travel escort,” followed by your parent’s city or state. Or use an experienced national service like Flying Companions (FlyingCompanions.com), Travel Helpers (GoTravelHelpers.com) or FirstLight Home Care (FirstLightHomeCare.com), which has a national network of franchises that provides in-home care for seniors and off ers travel companion programs in about 80 percent of their 190 operating territories. Or, for medical travel companions do a search for “traveling nurse escort” or “medical travel companion,” or checkout Travel Care and Logistics (YourFlightNurse.com), which provides registered nurses as escorts. If, however, your parents don’t require a lot of assistance, or if you can’t aff ord a travel escort, consider asking a trusted family member or friend that has some air travel experience. Vet the Service If you’re interested in hiring a travel companion service, there are a number of things you need to check into to ensure you get the right escort. First, if you parents require personal or medical care while traveling, find out if the escort is trained to manage their healthcare needs. What sort of medical certifi cations do they have? (Nursing credentials? C.P.R. training? etc.) Also, fi nd out how many trips the companion has taken with clients. Have they completed trips with travelers like your parents? How long has the travel service company been in business? What is the company’s safety record? And what sort of insurance does it carry, and what exactly is covered? Also, get a quote breaking down exactly what you’ll be required to pay, in addition to the companion’s fees. And get a list of two or three clients/references who have used their service and call them. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior. org.

Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri introduced an order at the request of the employees in the city’s Substance Use Disorder and Homelessness Initiatives Office in recognition of Overdose Awareness Month. The order requests the mayor to have Human Resources direct all departments to amend and/or replace stigmatizing language and terminology with person-centered language in all City of Revere documents with respect to substance use disorder, behavioral health, people in recovery, people who use drugs (PWUD) and people who have been involved in the justice system. “This here is an important step toward knocking down the stigma of addiction and those that suff er by it,” said Silvestri.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the percentage of times local representatives voted with their party’s leadership in the 2022 session. The votes of the 2022 membership of 26 Republicans were compared with those of GOP House Minority Leader Brad Jones (RNorth Reading). The votes of the 2022 membership of 124 Democrats were compared to House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 99 votes from the 2022 House session as the basis for this report. This includes all roll calls that were not quorum calls or votes on local issues. Rep. Susannah Whipps (UAthol) is unenrolled and not affi liated with either the Republican or Democratic party. We based her voting record on how many times she voted with Democratic House Speaker Ron Mariano. THE DEMOCRATS: A total of 53 (42.7 percent) of the 124 Democrats voted with Mariano 100 percent of the time. Another 55 Democrats (44.3 percent) voted against Mariano only once. That means a total of 108 (87.0 percent) of the 124 Democrats either never voted against Mariano or voted against Mariano only once.

It is a way to kill a proposal without holding a vote on the bill itself. Here are some of the education bills that were sent off to a study committee: SEX ED IN SCHOOLS (H 662) – Would require grades 7, 8 or 9 in all public schools to off er a required course to educate students about the development of the child in utero. Each school would be required to inform at least one parent or guardian of each student at least one week prior to the beginning of the course. The parent or guardian would have the right to exempt a student from the course. The course would be designed to educate students of the anatomical and physiological characteristics of unborn children at increments of four weeks from fertilization to full term. It would include visual images, including ultrasound images of fetal development at eight, 12, 18 and 24 weeks, and include the basics of prenatal and postnatal care for the purpose of educating students about the real expectations and responsibilities of parenthood. “As expanding sex-ed continues to be a priority agenda item, I feel it is important to have equal education and focus on a very real possible outcome of sex— pregnancy and children,” said Sponsor Rep. Joseph McKenna (R-Webster). “I believe that it’s critical to ensure that the health and wellness curriculum includes the development of a fetus into a baby and ultimately through birth. This should include [how] a pregnant mother’s decisions and lifestyle, including nutrition and substance use, impact fetal development and baby health.” “I am not surprised, nor discouraged, that this bill did not pass this session,” continued McKenna. Nearly every bill, especially when addressing potentially controversial items such as sexed and pregnancy, take many years and multiple sessions to get passed. As such, I will happily refi le this bill next session.” “Rep. McKenna’s bill is timely, warranted and appropriate, and would be a useful addition to any health or biology curriculum,” said C.J. Doyle, Catholic Action League executive director. “McKenna’s bill would be more suitable for secondary school students than for junior high school students, who could be as young as eleven years old. Advances in the science of embryology have given us new insights into fetal development, including the capacity of the unborn child to experience pain. Meanwhile, improvements in health care and medical technology have expanded the gestational parameters of viability for a child outside the womb.” “McKenna’s idea would probably fi nd, however, a more receptive environment in private and religious schools and among home schoolers,” continued Doyle. “In public education, it would face unrelenting opposition from an administrative class, and from a teaching profession, ideologically hostile to any curriculum which affi rmed, or even implied, the humanity of the unborn child.” Several pro-choice organizations and state representatives and senators did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill to comment on this legislation, including the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts, Reproductive Equity Now, Sens. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington) and Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester) and Rep. Ruth Balser (D-Newton). COMPUTERS FOR ALL STUDENTS (H 637) – Would establish a 14-member commission to research the best way of acquiring technology for Massachusetts students, including how to incentivize companies to take part in a program to provide personal computers or tablets to students. As part of its research, the commission will review the current policies in place to provide students with a personal computer or tablet and the barriers to providing all students with one. It would also evaluate the eff ect on benefi ts or drawbacks to providing students with a personal computer or tablet and its eff ects on the digital divide. “As the pandemic has shown, a lack of access to technology can inhibit students’ ability to learn and thrive,” said sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “Through the work of this commission, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education would have a better understanding of how to equip students with the technology they need at a manageable cost. I am disappointed the bill was placed in a study order, but plan to refi le it for the upcoming legislative session.” SCHOOL MANDATES (H 634) – Would establish an 11-member task force to review all existing state mandates placed on public schools. In addition to determining the cost of these unfunded mandates for budgeting purposes, the task force would also develop recommendations to streamline, consolidate or eliminate any mandates and reporting requirements that are outdated, duplicative or unnecessary. Sponsor Rep. Brad Jones said that the bill addresses one of the biggest concerns voiced by school officials not only in his district, but across the state. “The state cannot continue to impose new mandates on our cities and towns without providing them with the financial resources to help fulfi ll those requirements,” said Jones. “I am extremely frustrated [the bill] did not advance out of committee, but I plan to make a renewed push for its passage next year so we can begin the process of providing meaningful relief for our cities and towns.” INFORM PARENTS ABOUT STANDARDIZED ASSESSMENT TESTS (H 659) – Would require school districts, at the beginning of each school years to provide parents or guardians of students from kindergarten through twelfth grade information about each standardized assessment test that will be given during that school year including the date of the assessment; the estimated time a student will take to complete each assessment; whether students will be required to take assessments online, or have the option of paper and pencil; and the availability of appropriate acBEACON | SEE Page 20

Malia, who is not seeking re-election, said she will partner with her fellow legislators to make sure that her legislative priorities get new sponsors in the 2023-2024 session. SCHOOLS MUST OFFER FINANCIAL EDUCATION TO STUDENTS (H 25) – Would require fi nancial education to be offered in all Bay State schools and establish a trust fund to fi nance course materials and teaching resources as needed. “When thinking about building a more equitable future for our children, requiring that schools in Massachusetts off er fi nancial education is a crucial step towards achieving stability and security,” said sponsor State Treasurer Deb Goldberg who plans to file the bill again next year. “Students who receive this education have been more likely to save, budget, invest and increase their credit scores. Given the past two and a half years of economic uncertainty, there was no better time to ensure young people learn foundational fi nancial skills so they can be prepared to navigate and plan for economic ups and downs. Currently, there are 15 states that guarantee or are in the process of guaranteeing personal fi nancial literacy content to students. Sadly, Massachusetts is not one of them.” SCHOOLS MUST TEACH ABOUT THE HISTORY OF WORKING PEOPLE AND THE LABOR MOVEMENT (H 595) – Would require public schools to teach students the history of working people and the labor movement in the United States. “This bill will ensure that public schools in the commonwealth teach the often-overlooked history of our working class and the labor movement,” said sponsor Rep. Sean Garballey (D-Arlington). “Massachusetts has a history in this regard dating back several hundred years. Organized labor unions fought for better wages, ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS - Well maintained split entry home offers 8 rooms, 3-4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2 driveways and 1 car garage under.

The labor movement led eff orts to stop child labor, give health benefi ts and provide aid to workers who were injured or retired. I plan to refi le it next session.” STUDENTS MUST PASS CIVICS TEST TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL (H 574) – Would require that in order to graduate from high school, students must correctly answer at least 60 of the 100 questions listed on a civics test that is identical to the civics portion of the naturalization test used by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services for immigrants aspiring to become naturalized citizens. A students who does not pass the test on the fi rst try is allowed to take the test as many times as he or she wants until he or she passes it. “I believe that now more than ever a basic understanding of civics and how our government operates is critical,” said sponsor Rep. Shawn Dooley (R-Norfolk). “Requiring students to pass the citizenship test prior to graduation will make sure that the schools teach it as part of their curriculum. If people have a better understanding of how the process works it makes for a more engaged citizenry—which in turn leads to a better government. I do not understand the objection, as it is the same test we are asking our new citizens be able to pass. And students can take it as many times as necessary. I’m disappointed that it didn’t advance again this year and if I’m fortunate enough to be elected to the Senate, I will defi nitely refi le it again next session.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “An Act to end child marriage in Massachusetts is a great step forward that now protects young women and girls from entering into a marriage contract before the age of 18, the age of majority.” ---Rep. Kay Khan (D-Newton) at a ceremonial signing of the measure banning marriage of anyone under age 18. Prior law allowed minors to get married if they have parental consent. “While recent precipitation across the state has brought some improvements to streamfl ow and local water supplies, we still have a ways to go. The commonwealth continues to experience widespread drought in every region of the state. To avoid overstressing water systems, we all must adhere to local water use requirements and practice water conservation methods in an effort to ensure essential needs, including drinking water, fi re suppression and habitat, continue to be met.” ---Energy and Environmental Aff airs Secretary Beth Card. “The next governor of Massachusetts needs to make reducing waste a top priority. Disposing of waste that could be reused or recycled harms our environment and health, adds to climate change and is literally throwing away our tax dollars which subsidize disposal. We need enforcement of these bans, and we need a more ambitious plan to make Massachusetts a zerowaste state.” --- Janet Domenitz of MASSPIRG on a report by Zero Waste Massachusetts that two million tons of materials banned from the state’s landfi lls and incinerators end up there each year. “We know that the NFL kicks off tonight. And that, due to the nature of sports wagering, interest is piqued. We are rooting for the Pats. Our process will play out as it would have whenever this law came to the Gaming Commission to regulate and we will not compromise getting this right for anything. With that said, we also are aware of the importance of timing.” --- Mass. Gaming Commission sports Chairwoman Cathy JuddStein on the commission’s progress in drafting regulations to oversee the state’s new law legalizing sports betting. 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 September 5-9, the House met for a total of 13 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 25 minutes. Mon. Sept. 5 No House session No Senate session. Tues. Sept. 6 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:06 a.m. Senate 11:16 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. Wed. Sept. 7 No House session No Senate session Thurs. Sept. 89 House 11:02 a.m. to 11:10 a.m. Senate 11:06 a.m. to 11:27 a.m. Fri.
