THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2024 Page 29 “In Middlesex County we have had multiple businesses and municipalities impacted by cyberattacks and data breaches. These incidents erode our sense of safety and security and can cost victims millions to get their systems back up and running.” --- District Attorney Marian Ryan speaking at her Ransomware Response Conference for more than 100 industry leaders at hospitals, schools, municipalities and businesses. “We actively solicit input from attorneys and other court users, as well as court employees, about what we can do better. In addition, we seek public comments on rule changes. And we recently resumed our Judicial Performance Evaluation program by sending out surveys about judges in selected courts to over 10,000 lawyers and over 1,000 court employees, as well as to jurors.” ---Supreme Judicial Court Chief Justice Kimberly Budd giving her fourth annual address on the state of the judiciary to the legal community. “This year’s Climate Ready Housing funding will enable energy retrofi t improvements of nearly 1,000 homes across the state. This funding will lower costs for low- and moderate-income residents, improve indoor air quality for our residents and reduce greenhouse gas emissions … and will put us on the path to achieving the commonwealth’s net zero emissions goal while creating more resilient homes.” ---Housing and Livable Communities Secretary Ed Augustus on the Healey Administration awarding $16 Million to decarbonize aff ordable housing. 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 December 9-13, the House and Senate each met for a total of two hours and 31 minutes. Mon Dec. 9 House 11:01 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Senate 11:01 a.m. to 1:09 p.m. Tues.
