NATIONAL DWARFISM AWARENESS DAY (H 5321) – The House approved and sent to the Senate legislation establishing October 25 as Dwarfi sm Awareness Day. Supporters say that around the world people with dwarfi sm face social and physical barriers. They note that October 25 was chosen as the day for Dwarfi sm Awareness Day because it was the birthday of Billy Barty who was an American actor who had dwarfi sm, and in 1957 set up Little People of America— an organization that supports people with dwarfi sm as well as raising awareness about the issue. Sponsor Rep. Jim Hawkins (D-At Notice is hereby given in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 185 of the Acts of 1983, and Chapter 13 of the Acts of 1984, that the City of Derby Rd. southwesterly Sigourney St. northeasterly Sigourney St. northwesterly Squire Rd.

Since graduating, Vicki has gotten her teaching certifi cation and is a classroom teacher so you know we were excited to fi le this legislation and advocate for its passage.” “While there may be health complications involved with dwarfism we need to treat people with dwarfi sm equally with others,” continued Hawkins. “This holiday will be to celebrate the signifi cant accomplishments and contributions to our community from people with dwarfi sm. QUOTABLE QUOTES “The MCAS results released today are anything but surprising. Massachusetts students are showing the cumulative impact of trauma, given a pandemic that has brought staggering losses to families and communities—including the deaths of loved ones.” ---MTA President Max Page on the disappointing results of the MCAS tests. “It is concerning that our sales are decreasing, especially given the type and quality of products we’re putting out in the market. But I will say that this is a trend that the entire country is seeing with the lottery. I think everyone is aware of what’s going on in the world fi - nancially with infl ation and stuff , and so we’re going to be looking at some ways to see if we can make some changes to adjust to the current market structure.” --- Interim Lottery Executive Director Mark William Bracken noting that Lottery sales in August were down $35.9 million or 6.4 percent compared to August 2021, “All of us, Democrats and Republicans, started talking about the consequences here in the Northeast over the summer and wrote to the Biden administration, met with the Biden administration and gave them a variety of things that we thought they could do that would help us on both price and reliability for our residents this winter. There are some things we’re hoping the feds will do to help us.” ---Gov. Baker urging the federal government to step up to help New Englanders likely to be hurt by high electric and heating bills this winter. “This settlement is a signifi cant result in our work to protect taxpayer dollars and the integrity of our MassHealth program.

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 26-30, the House met for a total of 30 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 14 minutes. Mon. Sept. 26 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Senate 11:10 a.m. to 11:18 a.m. Tues. Sept. 27 No House session No Senate session Wed. Sept. 28 No House session No Senate session Thurs.
