The value of single and multifamily homes and condos is up, but tax bills will increase by relatively small amounts or even decrease. In contrast, the value of commercial/industrial property has increased by 22 percent, and owners will see a 14.33 percent increase in tax bills. Next year’s tax rate for residential real estate is $951 per $1,000 of value while commercial property owners will pay $18.98. Every fall, assessors from cities and towns head out with PowerPoint presentations to meetings of city councilors and selectmen to explain property valuations and the residential tax factor. They typically remind audiences that cities and towns can only raise the total amount of property tax, aka the total tax levy, by 2 1/2 percent over last year. Elect781-286-8500 Friday, December 2, 2022 Football Patriots fall to Vikings on Thanksgiving ed offi cials then set a tax factor that determines how much of a community’s tax burden will be shouldered by businesses and what percent will be picked up by homeowners. Dana Brangiforte, chairman of the board of assessors, told councillors the board recommended a tax factor of.876646. “That allows us to shift the tax rate 175 percent onto the commercial,” said Brangiforte, who added that it also allowed the city to adopt the lowest residential tax rate possible. Brangiforte went through plenty of numbers, including the roughly $48,000 increase in value of the average single-family home in the city. Despite that jump in value, those property owners can expect to see just a $33 increase on tax bills. The value for an average commercial/industrial property saw a $376,719 bump up or a 22 percent gain, which means a $4,655 TAX RATES | SEE Page 5 Council updated on Wonderland site for new high school By Barbara Taromina E arlier this month, the City Council approved a plan to borrow $29.5 million to acquire Wonderland Race Track property, which is the preferred site for the city’s new high school. This week, Brian Dakin from Left Field, the general manager for the construction project, was at the council meeting with an update. “We’ve been talking about this project for years and we’re only at the conclusion of the schematic design phase,” said Dakin adding that design development would continue for another year, year and a half.

(Advocate photos by Emily Harney) By Greg Phipps T he Revere Patriots closed out the 2022 season with their third straight defeat by losing to the Winthrop Vikings, 25-6, in their annual Thanksgiving Day contest last Thursday at Miller Field in Winthrop. It was a similar storyline to many of Revere's losses this season - falling behind by double digits in the fi rst half and not being able to recover. Having won the previous five Thanksgiving games in the 94-year-old series, Revere came into last Thursday's contest hoping to make it six in a row. But the host Vikings, who finished 7-4 on the season, were determined to put a halt to that recent trend. The Patriots turned the ball over three times in the first half and that materialized into 18 points for Winthrop, which owned an 18-0 advantage at halftime. Faced with a threepossession deficit, Revere edged closer midway through the third quarter when quarterback Carlos Rizo completed a pass to Sami Elasri on a ball that was almost picked off for the Patriots' only score.

Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2022 North Shore Philharmonic plays ‘Sounds of Christmas’ Concert on Sunday, Dec. 4 M usic Director Robert Lehmann and The North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra (NSPO) return to St. Anthony’s Church in Revere on Sunday, December 4 for the annual Robert A. Marra Memorial “Sounds of Christmas” Concert. The concert gets underway at 4 p.m. As has been the tradition since 1990, admission to the concert is free, but everyone attending the concert is asked to bring a generous donation of nonperishable food to The North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra MARCHETTI CORP. 35 4.25 4.38 4.99 Available in 1 & 5 gal. Containers 4.44 DEF At The Pump $4.75 Gal. DIESEL TRUCK STOP benefi t the Revere Food Pantry. The concert is jointly sponsored by Bocchino Insurance Agency, Massport, East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, Comcast, Astound Broadband and Action Emergency Services. NSPO President and concert co-chair Robert Marra Jr. emphasized the food drive that is associated with the concert, which is named in memory of his father, Robert A. Marra Sr., late NSPO concertmaster. “Of course, we love the music and the concert’s holiday feeling, but the food drive makes it special. It exemplifi es the true meaning of the holidays, the sense of sharing and helping others,” he said. “When the people who come to the concert fi ll up the donation bins with food, it magnifi es the generosity of the businesses that sponsor the concert.” The concert tradition began in 1976 when NSPO fi rst came to play a holiday concert at Revere High School as part of the city’s celebration of the nation’s bicentennial. The concert moved to St. Anthony’s sanctuary the following year. “The concert was a tremendous success right from the start. Every year someone tells me how this concert has been part of their family tradition for so many years,” Marra said. Revere High School senior Madison Lucchesi will write and narrate an original essay as part of the concert program. “We started this several years ago in cooperation with the Revere High School Writing Director Allison Casper,” Marra noted. “It’s a chance for a student to deliver a meaningful message, and it ties Revere High to the concert, something my father would appreciate.” The concert is named in memory of violinist Robert A. Marra, a lifelong Revere resident and teacher at Revere High School who was concertmaster of the Orchestra for over 50 years before his death in 2002. “He played his last Sounds of Christmas in 2001. Remember, that was the year of 9/11. The concert was part of the healing process for everyone, the beginning of the holidays at the end of a very diffi cult year.” Soprano Malinda Haslett will sing at the Revere concert for the fi rst time. She is the Director of Vocal Studies at the University of Southern Maine and has performed in recent years in Boston, Paris and London. “We are thrilled to welcome Malinda’s extraordinary talent to the concert this year,” Marra said. She will sing several solos during the concert and lead the audience in the traditional “Sing-a-long.” The Revere audience that packs St. Anthony’s is as much a joy for the Orchestra as the concert is for the patrons. “At this time of year, musicians can be pretty busy, and it is demanding work, but they all love coming to Revere where the audience is so attentive and enthusiastic,” Marra said. Marra expressed his deep appreciation to the concert sponsors: Bocchino Insurance, East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, Massport, Comcast, Astound Broadband and Action Emergency Services. “No words can adequately convey our appreciation for the sponsors,” he said. “Dom Bocchino joined up with the concert in 2005 as a principal sponsor and has served as an invaluable concert co-chair. The East Boston Neighborhood Health Center and Massport joined us this year as part of their growing interaction with the Revere community. Comcast has been part of the concert literally forever – Revere’s local Cable TV provider has always played a role in the concert, now with Astound Broadband also. Action became part of the tradition more recently and also helps out with transferring the food. Every one of the sponsors recognize the meaning of this concert and how the public enjoys it.”

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2022 Page 3 Revere resident Leandra Rivera lauded by ABCD at Community Heroes Celebration HUD Secretary Marcia L. Fudge offered keynote address O n Friday, November 18, 2022, at the Seaport’s Omni Boston Hotel, Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD) honored 16 Community Heroes – volunteers, partners, collaborators and leaders who uplift underserved and under-represented people and families throughout Greater Boston and advocate for social, racial, economic and reproductive justice. This Community Heroes Celebration (CHC) was the first ABCD awards gala since 2019, and if featured keynote speaker Marcia L. Fudge – Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) – and WCVB-TV’s Karen Holmes Ward as emcee. ABCD’s President and CEO, Sharon Scott-Chandler, Esq., said, “ABCD has blazed a trail in every aspect of anti-poverty and social justice work in the Greater Boston area.” She continued, “I am honored and humbled to laud all of our 2022 Community Heroes in-person after three years. COVID may have kept us apart for a while, but it made us more agile, more resilient and more creative. We don’t do this alone. Collaboration is at the core of our work.” Revere resident Leandra Rivera was among the 16 Community Heroes nominated from across the region by ABCD neighborhood centers and programs for their selfl ess contribution of time, energy, expertise and compassion. Leandra became involved with ABCD through Hillsong Church Boston, partnering with ABCD’s Roxbury/North Dorchester Neighborhood Opportunity Center. She recalled a particular client interaction: “At our fi rst backpack drive, I greeted a family who arrived late due to transportation issues. The youngest child was crying, and I got down on my knees to ask why. She was nervous that they were too late for a backpack. Learning that her favorite color was blue, I said, ‘Well then you are just in time’ as we walked to the backpack station and a volunteer handed her a new blue backpack. I loved watching her face light up as we moved from station to station, filling the backpack with supplies. She was so excited to show her siblings the new backpack and to start school. There is nothing that compares to those moments! ABCD will unlock a part of you that you did not know was there.” A woman of the people Secretary Fudge’s career was LEANDRA RIVERA Revere resident forged in the fi re of advocacy, equity and social justice: She has worked to help low-income families, seniors and communities across the country throughout her career. From 2008 to 2021 she served as U.S. Representative for the 11th Congressional District of Ohio. Secretary Fudge believes that U.S. housing issues are not solved through a one-size-fi ts-all approach, and she advocates for policies and programs that can adapt to meet a community’s unique housing challenges. Under her leadership, HUD is working to eradicate growing homelessness in our communities, to end discriminatory lending practices and to ensure that U.S. fair housing rules open the door for those who have been systematically locked out of home ownership, making the dream of homeownership a reality for more Americans. In 1999, Secretary Fudge was elected the first woman and the fi rst African American mayor of Warrensville Heights, Ohio. During her two terms, she prioritized improving the city’s tax base and expanded opportunities for aff ordable housing. Her career in public service began in the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Offi ce, where she rose to the rank of director of budget and fi - nance. Secretary Fudge earned a bachelor’s degree from The Ohio State University and a Juris Doctor from Cleveland State University, Cleveland-Marshall School of Law. She is a past national president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and a member of its Greater Cleveland Alumnae Chapter. 60th Anniversary, Diamond Jubilee The CHC gala coincides with ABCD’s Diamond Jubilee! Sixty years ago, in 1962, ABCD was a startup in the fi ght against poverty in America, launched with a $1.9 million grant from the Ford Foundation. In 1964, when Congress passed the Economic Opportunity Act, ABCD was designated as Boston’s official antipoverty agency. ABCD built several senior housing developments with HUD 202 grants, has been a HUD-certifi ed counseling agency since 2009 and provides many other housing programs and services. The diamond is symbolic of ABCD’s spirit and purpose as well as that of the Community Heroes – able to withstand heat and pressure and shine brilliantly thereafter. John J. Drew, who retired on June 30, 2022, after a storied 51- year career with the anti-poverty agency, 13 as president and CEO, was inducted into the ABCD Hall of Fame. A national leader in the community action and nonprofi t sector, Drew led the expansion of Head Start programs and launched several new youth programs, including WorkSMART, a school year paid work and learning experience for disadvantaged youths. Financially astute, Drew facilitated ABCD’s acquisition of significant real estate, as well as initiated renovation and technology updates for state-of-the-art facilities for Head Start, ABCD’s two alternative high schools and the Urban College of Boston. Dr. Gary Gross, who served as ABCD’s medical director for family planning for 41 years before retiring in March 2022, received the Lifetime Health Equity Access Champion Award. A leader in essential and comprehensive family planning services, Dr. Gross helped form the Massachusetts Family Planning Consortium that outlined the initial grant application for Title X funding for Massachusetts, with ABCD as the grantee. He also partnered with Barbara Eck Menning, founder of RESOLVE, to establish the fi rstever Title X funded program for early diagnosis and treatment of infertility within family planning sites, bringing traditionally out-of-reach care directly to the communities served by ABCD. About ABCD: A nonprofi t human services community action organization, ABCD provides underserved residents of Boston and the Mystic Valley area with the tools, support and the resources they need to transition from poverty to stability and from stability to success.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2022 Page 5 Councilors seek answers to bus stop route changes By Barbara Taromina R evere City Councilors are done with the MBTA changes to bus routes and bus stops that negatively impact residents. The council approved a motion from Councilors Keefe, Novoselsky and Powers that the mayor request an MBTA rep to provide an update on bus route and bus stop changes in Revere that will adversely affect the city’s senior population. “I have been disgusted with the way the MBTA is treating our people,” said Councilor John Powers who, along with Keefe and Novoselsky, met with residents of the Jack Satter house last week to protest the MBTA plan to move the bus stop down North Shore Road. Councilors pointed out that many residents at the Jack Satter house use walkers and canes and it’s unfair to expect them to walk and cross a busy street where there have been serious traffi c accidents. “It’s completely ridiculous,” added Powers. “The MBTA is taking the allbusiness route and saying not enough riders are using this route. I think we need to stand up the MBTA, enough is enough, we can’t keep bending over and letting them impact our residents this way. These people need the bus, it’s as simple as that,” said Councilor Patrick Keefe. Councilor Novoselsky, who has been working on an issue with the 411 bus, said he and Powers have been disgusted with the way the MBTA is treating Revere residents citywide. “They have already eliminated all the bus stops along Ocean Avenue up to Beach Street. They expect people to walk an additional 1500 feet or 800 feet to get to a bus stop that they wanted to redesign for their purposes, not for ours. They have never been good to us, and we’ve been good to them, they have not shown any respect for us” said Novoselsky. Like other members of the council, Councilor Dan Rizzo pointed out that Revere pays a lot of money to support the MBTA. And the city has approved bus lanes that take up half of city streets for the benefi t of two buses. Rizzo said the state delegation needs to step in to help since the MBTA does not listen to the Revere City Council. Novoselsky said there is a public zoom meeting scheduled for Dec. 8 at 6 p.m. to discuss bus network redesign and an equity analysis. Novoselsky said there will be more information coming on how residents can participate and voice their questions and concerns. “We need to let the MBTA know we’re not going to take it anymore. We are going to do what we have to do to protect our folks,” he said. Red Kettles are out across Massachusetts as The Salvation Army issues renewed Giving Tuesday call for donations and volunteers ‘Others Award’ honoree Josh Kraft cites The Salvation Army’s work providing ‘access to opportunity’ in Boston 25 interview. MA Red Kettle campaign goal is $2.6 million. CANTON, MA (November 29, 2022) – The Salvation Army Massachusetts Division today marked Giving Tuesday with a renewed call for donations to its annual Red Kettle Campaign and for more volunteers to help staff Red Kettles across the Commonwealth. With the 132nd annual Red Kettle campaign underway, the longest-running philanthropic fundraiser of its kind, The Salvation Army is emphasizing its mission of serving those most vulnerable through this year’s “Love TAX RATES | FROM Page 1 increase in property taxes. Revere councillors unanimously approved the new tax factor and tax split. However, several councilors want to make sure that residents understand they can challenge their tax bills. “I wish I had a nickel for every time someone asked me “When do I fi le for an abatement; how do I fi le for an abatement?” said Councilor-at-Large Dan Rizzo. Brangiforte explained that residents have 30 days after they receive their December tax bill to fi le for an abatement. “From Jan. Beyond” theme. Love Beyond is also a symbol of the resources and programs that 25 million people rely on year-round when they turn to the nation’s largest direct provider of social services for assistance. Volunteers are needed in almost all regions of Massachusetts to support the Red Kettle campaign, which provides essential funding for almost every program and service The Salvation Army delivers. Red Kettle proceeds support The Salvation Army’s work with individuals, fam2 to Feb. 2, that’s when you have to get that abatement request in,” said Brangiforte, adding that assessors either approve or reject the request. However, if an abatement request is rejected, a property owner can appeal that decision to the state Appellate Tax Board. Brangiforte suggested that property owners can also research exemptions for seniors, veterans and residents with disabilities to see if there is any tax relief available. Staff at the Assessors Department are willing to help residents explore those opportunities. ilies, and households right in the communities where donations are collected. “We need more support than ARMY | SEE Page 13 Need a hall for your special event?

From Thanksgiving to New Year’s, Americans produce 25 percent more waste than usual – or 1 million extra tons per week. During the holidays, and Pictured from left to right: Viviana Almeida and Michael and Gabriel Arias enjoyed their Thanksgiving meal. throughout the year, WIN Waste Innovations partners with the Town of Saugus (and other municipalities) to collect and dispose of nonrecyclable solid waste in a safe, environmentally friendly way while generating renewable energy. Saugus is fortunate to have Donna Kettle (at left) and Ann Brogna enjoyed their meal. forward-looking leadership that oversees a state-of-theart waste management system that includes a robust recycling program. One example is the Town’s Center for Hard To Recycle Materials (CHaRM) facility, the fi rst of its kind in Massachusetts. Area residents an indispensable part of this system, which is guided by the three Rs of waste management -reduce, reuse and recycle. And with a little thought and creativity, all of us can make a meaningful contribution to the cause of environmental protection and conservation, especially around the holidays. Reduce is the most eff ective approach because it eliminates a problem before it becomes a problem. One example, preferable to dealing with wrapping paper and cardboard, is to consider “experience” gifts such as tickets to a concert, an IOU to perform household chores or a simple evening “moon walk.” Food waste is the largest component of municipal solid waste. Before you start scraping plates into the trash, consider composting, contributing unused food to shelters or pantries, or simply shopping with a plan to avoid over-buying. One idea that can help the environment while ridding you of a nuisance is to reduce the amount of holiday and other junk mail that you receive. It takes a little eff ort, but you might find it well worth it. The place to start is the Federal Trade Commission – consumer.ftc.gov. Stanford University also has a good list of ideas for reducing waste over the holidays – lbre.stanford.edu. During the holidays, and at all times, WIN Waste Innovations is sure to be on the job -- collecting waste that cannot be recycled, providing renewable energy to thousands of homes, reducing greenhouse gases by diverting post-recycled waste from landfi lls and the truck traffi c to haul it there, and supporting the Town’s economic goals and community eff orts. Thank you for doing your part and helping us do ours. Best wishes for a safe, healthy and successful holiday season and New Year.

Later, a Winthrop fumble on a completed pass recovered by Revere's Abbas Attoui inside the Patriots' fi ve-yard line seemed to stop a Vikings' drive. However, the pass was ruled incomplete. Revere head coach Lou Cicatelli told the press this week it was a play that could have changed the complexion of the game. It was not to be as the hosts ended up scoring on the drive and adding the extra point to account for the fi - nal margin. Winthrop established a 5832 overall lead in the Thanksgiving series following this year's triumph. There have been three ties. Cicatelli credited the Vikings for being the more physical team. "They wanted it more and they got it," he said. "Defensively, we didn't play very well." A decrease in manpower impacted Revere's season. The Patriots lost key players such as Max Doucette, receiver Domenic Boudreau and running back Davi Barreto to injury during the campaign. Over the fi - nal month, that factor seemed to catch up to the Patriots, who fi nished with a 4-7 record despite earning a berth in the Div. 3 state playoff tournament. Cicatelli acknowledged that injuries played a role in the season's outcome but there are things to build on for 2023. "We had a lot of starters miss games. It was a tough year," he said. "The record is disappointing but we made the playoff s, and that was one of our goals." The Greater Boston League announced this year's all-star team and four Revere players were chosen for the squad. They are Boudreau, Elasri, Jason Shosho and Maykin Fuentes Gonzalez. COST BASIS OF INHERITED PROPERTY T he cost basis of property acquired from a decePats QB Carlos Rizzo Jr. attempts a pass with a Viking defender looking to block his pass in Turkey Day action.

This is pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 1014(a)(1). This is referred to as the step up in cost basis. If real estate valued at $500,000 is devised pursuant to an individual’s Last Will and Testament or pursuant to the terms of a living Trust, the recipient of this real estate receives the benefi t of a cost basis equal to the $500,000. It’s a new starting point. It’s as if the benefi - ciary of the Will or Trust paid $500,000 for the real estate. If the real estate is sold shortly thereafter for $500,000, no capital gains tax will have to be paid. If the property were sold two years later for $600,000, the capital gain to be reported would only be $100,000. It is therefore very imporRevere Co-Captain Sami Elasri make a last-second leap for yardage on Thursday. Patriot Co-Captain Davi Baretto attempts to get away from a Winthrop defender. tant to take into consideration the value of this step up in cost basis when creating an estate plan. Capital gains taxes can be as high as 23.8% federal and 5% Mass. With the new Millionaires tax in Massachusetts, some capital gains could be taxed at an additional 4% rate. Once taxable income exceeds $1,000,000, the excess income is taxed at a rate of 9%. The capital gain could actually push you over the $1,000,000 of income. Consequently, it is even more important to take advantage of the step up in cost basis in order to eliminate or minimize the actual capital gain itself. If appreciated real estate or stocks are simply given to your children outright, the cost basis in the hands of your children would be your cost basis. This is referred to as a carryover basis. You would look to what you originally paid for the real estate or stock, improvements to the real estate, depreciation taken if rental property, etc., in order to determine cost basis. Outright gifts like this do not make much sense in the vast majority of cases. It would be better to place the property in a living Trust in order to avoid probate, obtain the step up in cost basis, provide for estate tax savings and possibly protect against a nursing home if that is one of the objectives. Generally, the capital gains tax savings to the children upon a future sale of appreciated real estate or stock far outweighs the negative of having to pay a Massachusetts estate tax due to the real estate and stock being included in the decedent’s taxable estate. As an example, a $5,500,000 taxable estate consisting of appreciated real estate and stock would cost approximately $460,000 in Massachusetts estate taxes. If the original cost basis of the real estate was only $500,000 because the property was purchased 50 years ago and/or fully depreciated (if rental property), the capital gains tax savings would approximate $1.425million. The net savings to the children would be $965,000. There would be no federal estate tax as the current federal exemption is over $12million. Keep in mind that under IRC Section 1223(9), the holding period for assets received from a decedent shall be considered to be more than one year, even though the assets may have been sold by the benefi ciary within one year from the date of death. Pursuant to IRC Section 1223(2), the holding period of the person making an outright gift plus the holding period of the recipient of the gift is added together in order to determine if a short-term (less than one year) or longterm (more than one year) capital gain would be recognized upon a subsequent sale..

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2022 ARMY | FROM Page 5 Page 13 How to Buy Over-theCounter Hearing Aids Dear Savvy Senior, I’m interested in getting some of the new over-thecounter hearing aids that just became available a few months ago. Can you off er any tips to help me with this? Straining to Hear Dear Straining, The new FDA approved overthe-counter (OTC) hearing aids that started rolling out this fall are a real game changer for the roughly 48 million Americans with hearing loss. Adults with impaired hearing can now walk in and buy hearing aids at a pharmacy, big box chain, consumer electronics store or online, without a prescription and without consulting an audiologist. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved this new class of hearing aids to lower prices and improve their availability. About a third of people ages 65 to 74 and half of those over age 75 have hearing loss severe enough to aff ect their daily life. Yet about 80 percent of people who would benefit from hearing aids don’t wear them, according to the National Institutes of Health, primarily because of the hefty price tag. Traditional hearing aids ordered through an audiologist cost anywhere from $ 1,000 to $7,000 a pair and are not covered by most private insurers and traditional Medicare. The new OTC hearing aids range from $200 up to $3,000. Who Should Get Them? OTC hearing aids are specifi - cally designed for adults (18 and older) who have mild to moderate hearing loss. You don’t need a hearing exam or prescription to buy them, and they are designed so you can fi t and tune them yourself. Do you have mild to moderate hearing loss? The specifi c signs are having trouble hearing or understanding conversations, especially in noisier environments, over the phone, or if you can’t see who’s talking. Or, if you need a higher volume of TV, radio or music than other people, or have to ask others to speak more slowly, louder or repeat what they said. If, however, your hearing problem is more severe than that, for example, if you also have trouble hearing loud sounds such as power tools or motor vehicles, or if you struggle to hear conversations in quiet settings, then your hearing loss is considered more signifi cant than over-the-counter aids are intended to address. To help you get a basic sense of your hearing problem, you can take an app-based test like Mimi (mimi.health) or SonicCloud (soniccloud.com). If you fi nd that your hearing loss is signifi cant, you’ll need to work with an audiologist or hearing instrument specialist to fi nd a hearing aid that works for you. What to Look For To help you choose a good OTC hearing aid that meets your needs and preferences, here are some important points to keep in mind. Return policy: It can take weeks for your brain to adjust to hearing louder sounds through a hearing aid, so be sure to choose a brand that off ers at least a 30day free trial period, or money back return policy. The FDA requires manufactures to print their return policy on the package. Set up: Many OTC hearing aids require a smartphone or computer to adjust and operate the devices to your specifi c needs, while others have the controls on the device. This will also be labeled on the box. Choose one that fi ts your preference and comfort level. Battery: The package also should tell you what kind of battery the device uses. Some of the older versions of hearing aids have replaceable batteries, but many of the newer ones have rechargeable batteries that come in a charging case, where you charge them up every night. Customer support: Some companies off er unlimited customer support to help you adjust or fine-tune your hearing aids, while others might limit support or charge extra. Be sure you check. For more information, including product reviews, see the National Council on Aging’s OTC hearing aids buyer’s guide at NCOA.org/adviser/hearing-aids/ over-the-counter-hearing-aids.

No matter how big or small every effort counts for us and the many people in need across Massachusetts,” said Major Scott A. Kelly, General Secretary, The Salvation Army Massachusetts Division. “The volunteers who spend time staffi ng Red Kettles and spreading joy to hundreds of children during our Christmas Castle event are the backbone of this annual campaign.” Donations to the signature Red Kettles allow The Salvation Army to provide life-changing social services and other programs for thousands of people in Massachusetts each year. Not only are these important programs offered during the holiday season, but offerings extend throughout an entire calendar year to meet the increasing needs of those battling food insecurity and those who are struggling to pay bills. Red Kettles can be found at close to 800 locations across Massachusetts in almost every zip code, including those positioned outside major retailers such as Walmart, Shaw’s, Price Chopper and Market Basket. Josh Kraft, President of the Patriots Foundation and the Kraft Family Philanthropies, will be this year’s ‘Others Award’ honoree at The Salvation Army Massachusetts Division’s Annual Luncheon on December 6 at the Mandarin Oriental in Boston. In a Giving Tuesday appearance on the Boston 25 Morning News, Kraft said his family’s 29-year partnership with The Salvation Army is built on a shared commitment to providing “access to opportunity” for people of all types in all kinds of circumstances. “I think I learned it from my parents – not telling us but showing us day to day about providing access to opportunity for anyone and everyone; no matter where they come from and what they look like,” Kraft said during the Tuesday morning broadcast. “The Salvation Army is there consistently with support, opportunity and most importantly love.” As families and households face record high inflation and increasingly strong economic headwinds, The Salvation Army estimates it will need to raise more in 2022 to help struggling families this holiday season and beyond. The Red Kettle campaign’s fundraising goal in Massachusetts is $2.6 million. “The number of Red Kettles and distribution days we must staff are a reminder of how great the need is for thousands of people struggling to afford housing, heat, electricity, groceries and other necessities,” said Major Everett Henry, Divisional Commander for The Salvation Army in Massachusetts. “Volunteers are desperately needed in just about every region and community that we serve.” Nationally, 82 cents of every dollar donated to The Salvation Army goes directly toward funding Salvation Army initiatives. And the money stays within the community in which it was given. To volunteer or donate, visit www.salvationarmyma.org or text LOVE Beyond to 41444.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call presents a postelection look at legislative action from 2022 that changed the state’s election laws. Here are the fi ve key important 2022 votes on election laws. ELECTION LAW CHANGES (S 2924) House 126-29, approved and Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law a conference committee version of a bill making permanent the mail-in and early voting options used in Massachusetts in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The House and Senate had approved diff erent versions of the bill and a conference committee hammered out a compromise version which did not include the controversial section allowing same day voter registration that was in the Senate version but not in the House one. The measure requires the secretary of state to send out mailin ballot applications, with return postage guaranteed, to registered voters before each presidential primary, state primary and biennial state election. It also allows registered voters to request a mail-in ballot for all elections in a single calendar year. Other provisions include reducing the registration blackout period from 20 days prior to an election to 10 days; electronic voting options for voters with disabilities and military service members; allowing a voter with disabilities to request accommodations including an accessible electronic ballot application, ballot and voter affi davit that can be submitted electronically; ensuring that non-felons who are incarcerated and are currently eligible to vote are provided with voting infor- LEGAL NOTICE -                Estate of:    Date of Death:        To all persons interested in the above captioned estate, by Petition of Petitioner    of      of   has been informally appointed as the Personal Representative of the estate to serve   on the bond.                                                                                                                    mation and materials to exercise their right to vote; and requiring the secretary of state to conduct a comprehensive public awareness campaign to publicize the new voting and registration options. “I’m proud to see the [bill] pass in the House and make its way to the governor’s desk,” said Sen. Barry Finegold (D-Andover), Senate Chair of the Committee on Election Laws and the co-sponsor of the bill. “When more people participate in voting, democracy wins.” “I am concerned about the amount of money we are spending mailing out mail-in ballot applications when there are plenty of ways a voter can request a mailin ballot if they want one,” said Rep. Colleen Garry (D-Dracut), the only Democrat to vote against the measure. “I would rather see these funds go to something more productive like free IDs so that everyone has an ID to vote, open bank accounts and get certain medications that require IDs. We are also putting a tremendous amount of work on our town clerks, especially in our smaller communities like in my district.” “We are thrilled that both the House and Senate have voted in support of the [bill],” said the group MassVOTE. “Even though this version of [the bill] does lack a provision we have long supported—Election Day Registration— we are very glad to see that popular pro-voter policies like mail-in voting, expanded early voting and jail-based voting are included.” “As a general rule, we should be promoting voting in person and on Election Day,” said Paul Craney, spokesperson for the Mass Fiscal Alliance. “Anytime a voter loses control of their ballot before it’s given to an election offi cial, it’s possible it could be lost or altered. The Postal Service cannot guarantee a 100 percent delivery rate.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes REPLACE SAME DAY REGISTRATION PROPOSAL WITH A STUDY House 93-64, approved an amendment to a measure that would implement same day registration (SDR) that allows people to register to vote at the polls on Election Day and on any of the early voting days prior to the election. The amendment would replace SDR with a requirement that Secretary of State Bill Galvin complete a study that would analyze the cost of the proposed policy to the state, cities and towns and what it would take for local city and town clerks to implement SDR. Under House rules, the approval of the study amendment prohibits a roll call vote on the straightforward establishment of SDR. Supporters of SDR said that the study is simply a tactic by SDR opponents to delay the implementation of SDR and also avoid a direct vote on SDR itself. Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa (DNorthampton), the sponsor of SDR, said it is an important tool that Massachusetts can use to increase voter access to the polls. “In 2021, we had one day of overlap when voters could vote early and register. There was not a fl ood of applications; just a few more people across the state who were able to exercise their civic duty. That small data point shows that this can work and [this roll call] vote shows that support for same day registration, already popular with voters, is growing amongst legislators as well.” Some supporters of the amendment to replace SDR with the study by the secretary of state said the House should not implement SDR without having suffi - cient facts on its eff ects. Others expressed concerns about the ability of cities and towns to implement SDR rules without disruption. (Beacon Hill Roll Call urges readers to read the following carefully and understand what a “Yes” and “No” vote mean on this roll call. The roll call was on replacing SDR with a study. Therefore, a “Yes” vote is in favor of the study of SDR. A “No” vote is against the study and in most cases in favor of SDR itself.) Rep. Jessica Giannino No Rep. Jeff Turco Yes PROOF OF VACCINATION (H 4359) House 31-127, rejected an amendment that would prohibit any city or town from requiring that a voter show proof of vaccination as a condition of entering a polling place to vote or to register to vote. “If any voting location required a vaccination, then a sizable portion of the population would be prevented from entering the facility to exercise their constitutional right,” said sponsor Rep. Peter Durant (R-Spencer). “Since statistically the majority of people not vaccinated are minorities, a major constituency this bill sought to protect, any vaccine requirement would not only be unconstitutional, but would also be seen as an eff ort to suppress the minority vote.” Amendment opponents said this is a solution in search of a problem. They noted that voters are not being asked to show proof of vaccination. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment banning cities and towns from requiring voters to provide proof of vaccination. A “No” vote is against the ban.) Rep. Jessica Giannino No Rep. Jeff Turco No REQUIRE VOTER ID (H 4359) House 32-126, rejected an amendment that would require voters to show a federal or Massachusetts picture identifi cation at their polling places in order to be allowed to vote. The state would also be required to establish a waiver of the fee for obtaining the ID for indigent persons. Supporters said it is illogical that all voters are not required to show identifi cation prior to voting and noted that 24 other states have laws requiring IDs.

Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2022 BEACON | FROM Page 14 or even enter some government buildings without showing an ID. “I fi led this amendment to protect the integrity of every U.S. citizen’s vote in Massachusetts while providing the opportunity to get a free picture ID for those who don’t have one,” said sponsor Rep. Paul Frost (R-Auburn) “A free ID avoids the issues and barriers of a so-called poll tax, while making sure each voter is who they say they are when voting.” Opponents of the amendment said it would disenfranchise thousands of voters including people who do not have a current address because they are in a homeless shelter or domestic violence facility. Other opponents said there have been no widespread reports of voter fraud in Massachusetts. (A “Yes” vote is for requiring a voter ID to vote. A “No” vote is against requiring it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino No Rep. Jeff Turco Yes RAISE PENALTIES FOR VOTER FRAUD (H 4359) House 32-126, rejected an amendment to a current law that imposes up to a $10,000 fi ne and/or up to a 5-year prison sentence on anyone who knowingly engages in any type of voting fraud including illegally registering to vote; illegally voting or attempting to vote; voting more than once; and aiding and abetting a person who is illegally voting. The amendment would raise the fi ne to up to $20,000. “Maintaining the integrity of our elections is of paramount importance and is not a partisan issue,” said House Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading), the sponsor of the amendment. “Expanding the existing fi - nancial penalties for those individuals who knowingly attempt to engage in voting fraud will provide a strong deterrent to help prevent this type of illegal activity.” “We’re in agreement,” said Rep. Dan Ryan (D-Charlestown), the House chair of the Elections Laws Committee. “Of course we all want safe and secure elections. That’s why we are here … there are safeguards already in place, in Massachusetts General Law, to prevent such fraud and abuse of our electoral system. And study after study has also shown that election fraud is not as prevalent as some might think it is, or as folks purport it to be. So therefore $10,000 seems like an appropriate deterrent to election fraud. So I ask for a ‘No’ vote on the amendment, as what is in place is currently working.” (A “Yes” vote is for raising the fi ne to up to $20,000. A “No” vote is against raising it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino No Rep. Jeff Turco Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL ALLOW PHARMACISTS TO GIVE INSULIN IN AN EMERGENCY (S 691) – Shipped off to a study committee was a bill that would permit pharmacists to issue insulin to patients in emergency situations, which is described as an event in which authorization for the dispensing of insulin may not be readily obtained from a doctor or other practitioner. The pharmacist would be limited to providing the insulin every six months per individual. “In Massachusetts, it is unconscionable to think any person living with diabetes could lose their life because they are rationing insulin or unable to access this lifesaving medication,” said sponsor Your Hometown News Delivered!

The time to take action is now.” Gobi also noted that many states currently have similar laws. PROHIBIT REVOCATION OF PROFESSIONAL LICENSES (H 5195) – The House and Senate gave fi nal approval to and sent to Gov. Baker legislation that would repeal current state laws which create professional licensure consequences for anyone who defaults on their student loan. Under existing law, a borrower’s state-issued professional or occupational certifi cate, registration or license can be suspended, revoked or cancelled if the borrower is in default on an education loan. “This draconian approach prevents an individual from access to the profession for which he or she has trained and has the perverse result of furthering hindering their ability to earn a living and making it more diffi cult to make loan payments, said cosponsor Rep. Kate Lipper-Garabedian (D-Melrose). “And as families work to recover from the fi nancial fallout of the pandemic, the last thing the state should do is deny them access to their professional pursuits because of student loan defaults.” “Student loan debt disproportionately aff ects young, low-income individuals who are making the kinds of investments in their future that we should be encouraging,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “Revoking professional licenses that they obtained with a student loan does nothing to solve the problem of loan defaults, and it actively makes the problem worse by preventing new professionals from having the means to pay off their loans.” “Nearly one million Massachusetts residents are struggling because of student loans. As the federal moratorium approaches its end, we must recognize COVID-19’s continuous impact on employment and borrowers’ fi nancial situations,” said Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton), Senate Chair of the Judiciary Committee. “The bill will ensure that borrowers, who are heavily burdened by student loans, can still continue their career and work towards repayments of their educational loans.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “As energy costs go up this winter, we want to make sure families know that help is out there to put food on the table and keep the lights on in their homes. We’re grateful to Project Bread and our regional food banks and pantries for partnering with us to educate residents on how they can access the fi nancial assistance and support they need.” ---Governor-elect Maura Healey on collaborating with Project Bread and the state’s regional food banks and pantries on a campaign to educate residents about assistance available to help pay their monthly energy bills this winter. “Governor-elect Healey and I are thrilled with the engagement we’re seeing from people across the state who want to contribute to our administration and help us move Massachusetts forward. We are carefully reviewing every application and idea submitted to us, and we strongly encourage people to keep them coming. We also continue to do outreach to local, state and federal offi cials, business groups, advocacy organizations and other key stakeholders to make sure we are reaching the best talent.” ---Lieutenant Governor-elect and Transition Chair Kim Driscoll on the hundreds of people applying for jobs in the new administration. (Those who are interested in joining the Healey-Driscoll administration should apply at www. HealeyDriscollTransition.com Those who would like to submit their ideas for the new administration can also do so there). “Urban communities suff er disproportionately from toxic, polluted air. Holyoke and Worcester are two of the cities most burdened by negative health impacts like asthma because of this type of pollution. Durham School Services must own up to its role in this problem, stop violating anti-idling laws, and commit to reducing pollution from its buses.” --- Heather Govern, director of the Conservations Law Foundation’s (CLF) Clean Air and Water program, on the lawsuit that CLF has fi led again Durham School Services for polluting environmental justice neighborhoods in Holyoke and Worcester with harmful tailpipe emissions in violation of the Clean Air Act. “These awards will help equip Massachusetts sheriff s with the resources they need to treat substance abuse among inmates. Our ability to address the opioid crisis relies on the availability of services to those struggling with addiction, and we see high need among those who are incarcerated.” --- Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito on the administration’s awarding $243,000 in federal funding that will be distributed to Massachusetts sheriffs, allowing them to deliver substance use treatment to incarcerated individuals across the state as part of continuing efforts to address the harm of substance use disorder while ensuring safety in cities and towns. 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 November 21-25, the House met for a total of 28 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 58 minutes. Mon. Nov. 21 House 11:02 a.m. to 11:24 a.m. Senate 11:02 a.m. to 11:53 a.m. Tues. Nov. 22 No House session No Senate session Wed.
