O
ver 6,600 registered Revere
voters out of 30,000 headed
to the polls on Primary Day on
Tuesday to cast ballots for a new
mayor and a new City Council,
depending on the General Election’s
outcome in November.
In the highly contested mayoral
race between four city councillors,
Dan Rizzo received 2,627,
39%, to runner-up Patrick Keefe,
Jr.’s 2,488 votes (37%), followed
by Gerry Visconti’s 886 votes and
Steven Morabito’s 608 votes. RizPATRICK

both promising a careful and
cautious approach to any future
developments. However, they
diff er signifi cantly over the new

Building height, athletic fields top Councillors’
concerns with RHS project manager
By Barbara Taormina
B
rian Dakin, senior project
manager for the new Revere
High School project, was
at the City Council meeting last
week with an update on plans
for the building on the existing
site.
School and city offi cials are
now considering three diff erent
options, with the major difference
among them being the
number of stories in the academic
section of the building.
The city will decide whether
to move forward with four, fi ve
or six stories. Dakin told councillors
four stories has been
the most common choice for
new school buildings. While a
six-story building will use less
of the available site, Dakin said
that height is relatively rare in
school districts in Massachusetts
and will likely impact academic
programming.
Ward 3 Councillor Anthony
Cogliandro asked which of
those options would be the
cheapest.
Dakin explained diff erent factors
drive costs, but said, “To
be honest, they will be pretty
similar.”
However, he added that the

John DiLiegro, of John’s Service,
retires after 47 years servicing
Malden and Revere residents
By Tara Vocino
F
ormer mayor/Councillor-atLarge/Mayoral
candidate Daniel
Rizzo presented a citation to
John DiLiegro, owner of John’s
Service in Linden Square, for his
retirement after 47 years last Friday
afternoon. The full-service gas
station opened its doors at 200
Beach St., Malden, on May 3, 1976.
“I worked seven days a week,”
DiLiegro, who lives in Revere,
said. “I may have only taken three
weeks’ vacation.”
He added that retirement is bittersweet
and that he may travel to
Italy. DiLiegro graduated from Revere
High School, Class of 1961.
Rizzo said it’s been a tremendous
run of helping Revere and
Malden residents. “People rely
and depend on their cars,” Rizzo
said. “I’d like to recognize John
and his family with a citation congratulating
them.”
The gas station will remain
open and change ownership in
two weeks.

~ GUEST COMMENTARY ~
The Summer Of 2023 Signs Off
By Sal Giarratani
O
ur lives revolve around four
seasons of equal duration,
but as always and especially the
older we get, why does summer
fl y by so quickly? How come our
winters drag on far too long? I
heard some great words of wisdom
recently. In the end, as bad
as life can be at times, we do fi nd
meaning. We do fi nd purpose.
We believe there is a heaven for
the good and punishment for
the bad. At least that is my hope.
I need some satisfaction that the
bad times I went through will be
balanced by the future out there
for all of us.
This summer was, as I said, not
the best summer I remember.
Too much rain for me but when
the skies were sunny, I went to
the beach to squeeze out every
bit of sun and heat I could get.
Fall is almost here and then
the dreaded winter months. I
say goodbye to the summer
and told it, “See you next year” or
something to that eff ect. I continue
to live my life well; as well
as I can and pray for good health
and happiness. Been pretty
lucky so far. I still have my bucket
list to empty. I still have dances
to dance and new people to
meet. Old friends to hold on to
and bitterness to shed.
Lawrence A. Simeone Jr.
Attorney-at-Law
~ Since 1989 ~
Summer will return just as
sure as snow will fall this winter.
Remember: as bad things may
have been, things could have always
been worse. Is the cup half
empty or half full?
Finally, I remain a beach bum
who loves baking in the sun,
taking in all those healthy rays. I
am Sicilian-Irish and I never burn
and by summer's end, I look like
a Tunisian. In the winter, more
like the map of Ireland.
Stay an optimist. Think happy
thoughts. Plan your next
summer vacation soon and
never let people mess you up.
More serious stuff from me
next time.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2023
Mass. Board of Education approves new guidelines
for physical, sexual health education
First time since 1999 that new frameworks have been approved
Advocate Staff Report
or the fi rst time in decades,
the over 900,000 public
school students in Massachusetts
will have a new set of
physical and sexual health education
guidelines in the classroom.
Many districts, including
Everett, Malden, Revere
and Saugus Public Schools, include
sexual health education
in their curriculums. While the
new frameworks have been approved,
Massachusetts does not
require schools to teach sexual
education. It is entirely an individual
choice of the 316 districts
in Massachusetts. Also, individual
Districts can craft their
own curriculum and can choose
whether they adopt the new
standards.
The new education framework
will include topics of consent,
LGBTQ+ inclusivity and the impact
of changing technology on
health. The Massachusetts Board
of Elementary and Secondary
Education unanimously voted
to approve the new guidelines
in a meeting Tuesday. The board
F

Education adopted new guidelines on sexual health
education for the fi rst time since 1999.
voted in favor of the new standards
on Department of Elementary
and Secondary Education
(DESE) Commissioner Jeff rey Riley’s
recommendation.
There is also legislation moving
its way through the state
House of Representatives, led by
state Rep. Jim O’Day (D-Worcester),
the Healthy Youth Act, a
comprehensive sex education
bill that he has been pushing
for years, which requires schools
that off er sexual health educaThe
new frameworks adopted for sexual health education in Massachusetts
are more inclusive of LGBTQ+ identities and include topics like bodily autonomy,
mental health, dating safety and sexually transmitted infections.
tion to “provide a medically accurate,
age-appropriate, comprehensive
sexual health education.”
It still would not require
sexual health education to be
taught in schools and would
leave that choice to individual
districts.
This past June, Gov. Maura
Healey led the push for updates
to the guidelines to make
them more inclusive of LGBTQ+
identities and include topics regarding
bodily autonomy, mental
health, dating safety, sexually
transmitted infections and
more. The vote came after a 60day
public comment period,
where DESE received almost
5,400 responses – both in favor
of and against the changes.
The curriculum includes
guidelines for different age
groups: pre-K through second
grade, third to fi fth grade, sixth
to eighth grade, and ninth to
12th grade. For younger students,
topics are healthy eating,
hygiene, emergency response,
bullying, gender stereotypes
and more. Guidelines
as students get older are
more education about having
healthy romantic relationships,
gender identity, substance use
and more.
All who have worked on the
initiative have stressed it is
important students have the
age-appropriate information
they need about topics of sex,
diversity and gender.

Revere Man Convicted in Rideshare and Delivery
Account Fraud Scheme
PROVIDENCE – A Revere,
MA, man was convicted Tuesday
by a federal jury in Boston
of defrauding rideshare companies
using fraudulent driver
accounts that he created using
stolen identities.
Thiago De Souza Prado, 39,
was convicted of one count
of conspiracy to commit wire
fraud, three counts of wire
fraud, and three counts of aggravated
identity theft. U.S.
Senior District Court Judge
Mark L. Wolf scheduled sentencing
for Dec. 18, 2023. Prado
was indicted in May 2021
along with 17 others, including
co-conspirators Flavio Da
Silva, Wemerson Dutra Aguiar
and Luiz Neto. In March 2023,
Aguiar was sentenced to 45
months in prison after pleading
guilty to related charges.
Da Silva is scheduled to be
sentenced on Oct. 10, 2023.
Neto pleaded guilty on Nov.
22, 2022, and fl ed the country
before his scheduled sentencing
in April 2023.
According to the evidence
presented at trial, starting in
2019, Prado obtained stolen
Massachusetts driver’s licenses
and bought social security
numbers on the darknet.
He and his co-conspirators
then used the stolen identities
to pass the criminal background
checks, the sex off ender
registry check and the driving
record check required by
the rideshare companies and
by the Massachusetts Department
of Public Utilities. Prado
and his co-conspirators also
used the stolen social security
numbers for tax reporting
on their fraudulent accounts.
Once the driving accounts
were active, Prado either used
the accounts himself or rented
them out to others, who
also could not pass the background
checks, often because
they did not have social security
numbers and were in the
United States illegally. Prado
also used his fake driver accounts
to get bonuses from
rideshare companies by referring
his other fake driver accounts
as new drivers. In addition,
Prado and his co-conspirators
used an app, which
they called “the drone,” to
spoof rides and ride lengths,
so that they were paid by the
rideshare companies for “ghost
rides” or for rides that were
longer and more expensive
than those actually provided.
Prado received payments via
bank accounts that he opened
in the names of identity theft
victims.
The charges of wire fraud
conspiracy and wire fraud
each carry a maximum sentence
of 20 years of in prison,
three years of supervised release,
and a fi ne of $250,000,
or twice the gain or loss from
the crime. Each charge of aggravated
identity theft carries
a mandatory sentence of 24
months, in addition to any othAuthor

open space around the building
can be captured as usable
academic space for tech classes,
science classes, performances
and other academic purposes.
The four-story option includes a
courtyard that would provide
outdoor space within the structure.
Councillors
also questioned
how far the school will be from
homes on East Mountain Avenue.
Dakin said there will likely
be a six-to-12-foot retaining wall
on school property and that retaining
wall will be 10 to 15 feet
from the backs of those properties.
Assistant
Schools Superintendent
Dr. Richard Gallucci was also
at the meeting to answer questions
about plans for the high
school athletic program during
the development of the new
school. Councillors were concerned
about the lack of fi elds
during the construction. Dakin
said it’s common practice among
new school projects to use fi elds
on existing sites for new buildings
and then recreate the fi elds
after the demolition of the existing
school on that space. The
proposed construction schedule
will leave Revere High without
athletic fi elds for four to fi ve
years. Gallucci said students will
be bussed out of the city for practices
and there will be no home
games until the fi elds are rebuilt
and ready for use in the winter of
2029. Gallucci also said the state
could require the city to build
temporary fi elds.
Ward 6 Councillor Richard Serino
described the fi eld problem
as growing pains and said Revere
is a resilient community that will
fi nd a way to manage.
But Councillor-at-Large Marc
Silvestri said taking out the
school fields was unimaginable
for student-athletes. “Ruining

In other council news
The City Council’s Legislative
Aff airs Committee had two outstanding
items on its agenda
this week. Committee members
decided to take no action on a
proposal from Ward 6 Councillor
Richard Serino to ban a fee on
paper bags for purchases at city
retail establishments. The committee
decided to instead place
the proposed ordinance on fi le
after receiving an opinion from
City Solicitor Paul Capizzi.
According to Capizzi, the fee
for a paper bag is meant to off -
set the cost of the bag. It is considered
merchandise, and Capizzi
said the council has no authority
to set the price of merchandise

noted that the fee was intended
to encourage the public’s use of

message about the future of Revere
to every resident in the city,"
said Rizzo. "I'm proud of our team.
We executed and we did very
well. We believe our message is
resonating with residents."
As Keefe and Rizzo take a
breath and get ready for the next
round of campaigning, Visconti
and Morabito are also taking
some time to fi gure out where
they go from here.
"Although I may not have won
the mayoral race, I want to express
my heartfelt gratitude to
my incredible wife, Danielle and
four children who stood by me
throughout this journey. It's not
easy to put your family out there
to be critiqued but my wife and
children handled it with class and
I'm proud of that," said Visconti
who went on to thank his staff
and campaign volunteers.
"Knocking on doors for over
fi ve months, I gave it my all. We
left it out on the fi eld. I wish the
other candidates the best of luck
and eagerly anticipate serving
out my term on the city council.
Remember, when one door closes
you never know if another will
open," said Visconti.
Morabito posted his thanks to
supporters on X, formerly Twitter,
and acknowledged the election
results weren’t what his team
was hoping for.
"As of January, I may not be

this change in the city’s ordinance
proposed by Serino, who
raised public safety concerns
about potential fi res, trouble for
vets suff ering from PTSD, and the
ugly mess left in St. Mary’s parking
lot by residents setting off
amateur fi reworks displays. The
council approved the revised ordinance.
continuing
in the role of city
councillor, but I want you to
know my commitment to our
city remains as strong as ever,"
he wrote.

Migrant families now being housed in east side Malden motel
Six families, mostly from Haiti, are at EconoLodge on Broadway; National Guard on site to assist
By Steve Freker
MALDEN - Migrant families
have been coming to Malden
and many other communities
around the nation in greater
numbers for much of the
past two years. On Wednesday,
Malden Mayor Gary Christenson
formally announced that
the City of Malden has opened
its doors to several migrant families
with children, most of them
coming directly from Haiti.
At present, there are six migrant
families being housed at
EconoLodge at 321 Broadway
in Malden. There are 10 rooms
now apportioned to accommodate
the migrant families, and
there are six children who now
enrolled, or in the process of being
enrolled, in the Malden Public
Schools.
Additionally, the Mayor announced
there are National
Guard personnel on site at the
EconoLodge in Malden from
noon to 6:00 p.m. each day to
assist in the migrant families’ living
conditions. In his statement,
Mayor Christenson confi rmed,
“The National Guard will have
offi cers on hand who speak Haitian
Creole and who will assist
with coordinating food vendors,
helping with medical and immigration
appointments, and ensuring
access to service providers,
among other things.”
In housing these families,
Malden joins some 80 other
communities across Massachusetts
in providing these living
quarters, including Everett,
Revere, Chelsea and Boston.
Some of these provisions are
related to the Massachusetts
“Right to Shelter” law. Massachusetts
is the only state with a law
that guarantees families with
children a place to stay if they
meet certain criteria. A number
of local and regional aid agencies
have been actively working
and helping to make sure
the migrant families have adeANGELO’S

Dear Savvy Senior,
Because of chronic arthritis, I have a very diffi cult time
going up and down stairs anymore and am interested in
purchasing a stair lift for my two-story house. Can you
recommend some good companies?
Arthritic Andy
Dear Andy,
Yes, of course! A good home
Councillor-at-Large and Candidate for Revere
Mayor Gerri Visconti with his friend and colleague
Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto
Taunton City Councilman John McCaul was on
hand to support his colleague in government
Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto.
stair lift is a great mobility solution
for anyone who is unable,
or has a diffi cult time climbing
stairs. To help you choose a
quality stair lift that meets your
needs and budget, here are a
few shopping tips along with
some top-rated companies.
What to Know
There are two basic types of
stair lifts that are sold today:
straight and curved. The type
you need will depend upon the
design of your staircase.
A straight stair lift is one that
Nancy Ciarlone and Ann Bellofatto joined
Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto at DeMaino’s
last Monday night.
Speaking on putting the residents of Revere fi rst,
keeping taxes down and revenues up from smart
common-sense decisions was Councillor-at-Large
Anthony Zambuto’s main theme in his address to his
supporters. The longtime city councillor noted that
with the expected changes to the next City Council,
experience and levelheaded thinking is needed to
keep Revere stable and prosperous.
State Rep. Jeff Turco, Candidate for Councillor-at-Large Don Martelli, School Committee Member
John Kingston and Candidate for Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio with Councillor-at-Large Tony
Zambuto at DeMaino’s
travels in a straight line up a
fl ight of stairs uninterrupted
by landings, bends or curves,
and costs anywhere between
$2,000 and $5,000 installed.
Curved lifts, however, are much
more elaborate and will go
around corners, bends and
changes in direction. Curved
lifts are also much more expensive,
typically running between
$8,500 and $15,000 or
more depending on the complexity
of the installation.
Most stair lifts available today
also have seats, armrests and
footplates that fold up out of
the way, and swivel seats that
make getting into and out of
the chair easier. They also come
with standard safety features
like seatbelts, braking systems
and footrest sensors, push-button
or rocker-switch controls
located on the armrest for easy
operation, and “call send” controls
which allow you to call or
send the unit to the other end
of the stairs. Make sure the lift
you choose has all these features.
If
you are a large person, you
may need to get a heavy-duty
lift with a wider seat and bigger
lifting capacity – all companies
off er them. Or, if you’re
tall, fi nd out about raising the
seat height during installation.
Depending on the company,
you may also have the option
of choosing between an electric
(AC) and a battery powered
(DC) stair lift. Electric stair lifts
are simpler and cheaper than
battery powered units, but if
your home loses power so does
your lift. While battery powered
lifts work even if there’s a power
failure.
Best Stair Lifts
To help you choose a great
stair lift the National Council
on Aging, which is a national
nonprofi t organization that
advocates for older Americans,
put together a review team to
research the diff erent companies.
Their list of best stair lifts
of 2023 includes:
• Editor’s Pick: Bruno (bruno.com)
•
Most Affordable: AmeriGlide
(ameriglide.com)
• Best Customer Reviews:
Acorn (acornstairlifts.com)
• Most Supportive Design:
Harmar (harmar.com)
• Most Adaptable to the
Home: Access BDD (accessbdd.com)
•
Best for Arthritis: Stannah
(stannah-stairlifts.com)
See NCOA.org/adviser/stairlifts/best-stair-lifts
to read their
detailed reviews.
Financial Help
Unfortunately, health insurance
including original Medicare
does not cover home stair
lifts, but some Medicare Advantage
plans may help pay.
Or, if you have long-term care
insurance it too may cover a
portion of the costs.
If you qualify for Medicaid,
many states off er waivers that
may help pay for a lift, and the
VA has several grant and benefi
t programs that may off er assistance
too if you’re a veteran.
To save some money, you
may want to consider purchasing
a used or refurbished
model. Or, if you need a stair
lift for only a short period of
time, consider renting one.
Most companies off er these
options, and many offer financings
too.
To get started, contact some
of the previously listed stair lift
companies who will put you
in touch with a dealer in your
area. All dealers provide free
in-home assessments and estimates
and can help you choose
an appropriate lift.
Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto gets a big welcome as he arrives from the City Council meeting.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There
were no roll calls in the House or Senate
last week.
TAX REDUCTION PACKAGES ARE
STUCK IN COMMITTEE – It’s been
three months since the House and
Senate created a conference committee
to hammer out a compromise
version of diff erent tax relief
packages approved by each branch.
Here’s the timeline of the bill which
was fi rst approved by the House fi ve
months ago.
April 13: House approves $1.1 billion
in tax relief.
June 15: Senate approved its own
$590 million tax relief package.
June 20: A conference committee
is appointed to hammer out a compromise
version of the two bills.
Gov. Healey last week said the tax
package is high on the Fall agenda.
“Our job is not done until that tax
package is done,” Healey said.
This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call
reviews how local representatives
votes on several roll calls on tax reductions.
$1.1
BILLION TAX CUT PACKAGE
(H 3770)
House 150-3, approved a $1.1 billion
tax relief package. Provisions include
combining the Child Care Expenses
Credit with the Dependent
Member of Household Credit to create
one refundable $600 credit per
dependent, while eliminating the
current cap; exempt the fi rst $2 million,
instead of the current $1 million
of the value of a person’s estate
from the state’s estate/death
tax that a person is required to pay
following their death before distribution
to any beneficiary; double
the Senior Circuit Breaker Tax Credit
from $1,200 to $2,400; increase the
rental deduction cap from $3,000 to
$4,000; reduce the short-term capital
gains tax rate from 12 percent to 5
percent; raise the Earned Income Tax
Credit from 30 percent to 40 percent
of the federal credit; and replace the
current business tax from the 3-factor
apportionment based on location,
payroll, and receipts with a single
sales factor apportionment based
solely on receipts.
Another provision changes the tax
refund distribution formula under a
current law, known as 62F, that requires
that annual tax revenue above
a certain amount collected by the
state go back to the taxpayers. Under
current law, the money is returned to
taxpayers based on how much he or
she paid in 2021 taxes, while this tax
relief package changes the formula
and provides a fl at rate refund, unrelated
to what the individual paid
in taxes.
The measure would also change a
current law that provides when the
state’s Stabilization Fund, also known
as the Rainy Day Fund, exceeds 15
percent of budgeted revenues, the
excess is transferred to the Tax Reduction
Fund which eventually is returned
to taxpayers. The Democrats’
tax relief bill would raise that percent
to 25.5 percent.
(A “Yes” vote is for the $1.1 billion
in tax relief. A “No” vote is against it.)

HOW TO DISTRIBUTE SOME FUTURE
TAX REFUND (H 3770)
House 26-128, rejected an amendment
that would change the current
law (known as 62F), approved by voters
on the 1986 ballot, which requires
that annual tax revenue above a certain
amount collected by the state go
back to the taxpayers. A few months
ago, the law resulted in $2.9 billion
being returned to taxpayers, using
a formula based on how much
each taxpayer paid in income taxes
in 2021.
In the House $1 billion tax reduction
bill, the formula is changed so
that each taxpayer will receive a fl at
rate refund, unrelated to what they
paid in taxes. The amendment would
strike the change and revert back to
the refund based on what a person
paid in income taxes in 2021.
(A “Yes” vote is for the amendment
distributing the refund based
on what each taxpayer paid in taxes.
A “No” vote is against the amendment
and favors a fl at rate refund of
the same amount for each taxpayer.)
Rep. Jessica Giannino
Rep. Jeff Turco

RAISE TRIGGER POINT FOR TAX REFUND
(H 3770)
House 25-129, rejected a Republican
amendment to a section of the
Democrats’ tax relief bill that would
change a current law that provides
when the state’s Stabilization Fund,
also known as the Rainy Day Fund,
exceeds 15 percent of budgeted revenues,
the excess is transferred to the
Tax Reduction Fund which eventually
is returned to taxpayers. The Democrats’
tax relief bill would raise that
percent to 25.5 percent.
The Republican amendment
would eliminate that change and
revert to the current 15 percent formula.
(A
“Yes” vote is for the amendment
making the cap 15 percent. A “No”
vote is against the 15 percent cap and
favors the 25.5 percent cap.)
Rep. Jessica Giannino
Rep. Jeff Turco
No
No
TAX REVENUE FROM MILLIONAIRE’S
TAX (H 3900)
House 25-132, rejected an amendment
that would remove a section
in the budget that exempts tax revenue
generated from the recently
voter-approved Millionaire Tax from
counting toward the allowable state
tax revenue limitations, under Chapter
62F, which provides that whenever
revenue collections in a fi scal year
exceed an annual cap tied to wage
and salary growth, the excess is returned
to taxpayers. Last year, $3 billion
in refunds were returned to taxpayers
when the law was triggered
for just the second time since its passage
in 1986. The revenue from the
Millionaire Tax is deposited into the
new Education and Transportation
Stabilization Fund.
(A “Yes” vote is for the amendment
that favors tax revenue generated
from the recently voter-approved
Millionaire Tax counting toward
the allowable state tax revenue
limitations. A “No” vote is against the
amendment and supports exempting
the revenue from the allowable
state tax revenue limitations.)

REQUIRE STATE AGENCIES TO INCREASE
LANGUAGE ACCESS – Gov.
Maura Healey signed an executive
order instructing all state agencies
to conduct a thorough assessment
of their language access capabilities
and develop a plan for improvement.
The order is designed to make the delivery
of services and resources more
accessible and equitable for residents
with limited English profi ciency.
“Everyone in Massachusetts, regardless
of what language they
speak, deserves equitable access to
government services and resources,
but we recognize that language often
poses a major barrier,” said Gov.
Healey. “This executive order will help
break down language barriers and
bridge gaps … We’re proud to take
this important step toward making
state government more accessible
and equitable during Hispanic/Latino
Heritage Month.”
“One in four Massachusetts residents
speak a language other than
English – which underscores why this
executive order is so critical,” said Lt.
Gov. Kim Driscoll. “It is essential that
we are setting people up for success
NOTICE OF FEDERAL TAX LIENS
A
federal tax lien represents
the U.S. government’s legal
claim against your property in
the event a substantial federal
income tax is unpaid. Such a
lien is good against all of your
property, even after-acquired
property.
If a Notice of Federal Tax Lien
(NFTL) is fi led at the registry
of deeds where the taxpayer
owns real estate, it will serve
as a lien against the real estate
which would result in you not
being able to borrow money
from a bank or to sell the real
estate to a third party unless
the lien is paid off with bank fi -
nancing or if the lien is refl ected
as a liability on the disclosure
statement at the closing
on a sale transaction and deducted
from the seller’s sales
proceeds.
IRS Form 668, Notice of Federal
Tax Lien, will include the
name of the taxpayer, the serial
number of the NFTL, the
type of tax, the tax period(s),
last four digits of the taxpayer’s
social security number,
the date of assessment, the
date of refiling, the amount
of unpaid taxes, the book and
page number as well as the
date of recording at the applicable
registry of deeds where
the taxpayer owns real estate,
the date of the NFTL, and the
name of the IRS Revenue Offi
cer.
If the IRS does not refi le the
NFTL within 10 years and 30
days of the date of assessment,
the lien will expire as a matter
of law. In these situations,
often the debt per the IRS records
would be automatically
wiped clean. I have seen on
many occasions where the taxpayer
waits out the 10 year, 30
day period, and the debt no
longer appears within the IRS
system. If the IRS does not believe
collection is probable, the
debt collection activities most
likely will not pursued. However,
if the IRS has a lien against
known real estate, it may very
well refi le the NFTL. The IRS
generally has 10 years from the
date of assessment to collect a
federal income tax.
The IRS does not need to obtain
a judgment against you in
a court of law in order to fi le
the NFTL. This is unlike a judgment
lien which is fi led pursuant
to a court rendering an
opinion against a debtor or defendant
in a lawsuit.
Joseph D. Cataldo is an Estate Planning/Elder Law Attorney, Certifi ed
Public Accountant, Certifi ed Financial Planner, AICPA Personal
Financial Specialist and holds a Master’s Degree in Taxation.
by ensuring that they are able to read
and engage with information provided
by their state government. This
… will help us work to ensure that
all residents have the chance to get
their questions answered and interact
with their government in a way
they understand. I am excited to see
the implementation of strong language
access plans across our state
agencies and all the benefi ts this will
bring to our state.”
PROHIBIT DIVIDING CHILDREN’S
TOYS BY GENDER (H 199) – The Children,
Families and Persons with Disabilities
Committee held a hearing
on a proposal that would prohibit
retail stores with more than 500 employees
from dividing the display of
toys for children under the age of 14
into sections by gender. The bill gives
stores 30 days to correct any violation
or be subject to a $1,000 civil penalty.
“Toys are just that, toys,” said sponsor
Rep. Jack Lewis (D-Framingham).
“They have no gender and families
should be invited to shop without
outdated gender norms dictating
which aisles are intended for
one gender over another. There is
nothing inherently masculine about
Legos and nothing inherently feminine
about Easy-Bake Ovens. The
companies themselves know this,
it is time for major retailers to follow
the lead of stores like Target and the
state of California in letting kids simply
play.”
MANDATORY DIAPER CHANGING
STATIONS (H 209) – Another bill
heard by the Committee on Children,
Families and Persons with Disabilities
would require public buildings
and places of public accommodation
to provide a private or semi-private
diaper changing station accessible
to all caretakers of children, regardless
of sex, gender or disability.
The requirement would apply only
to new construction of public buildings
or places of public accommodation
and those undergoing significant
renovation. Signage indicating

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2023
BEACON | FROM Page 20
the location of the diaper changing
station must be posted at or near the
entrance of a facility.
“As a dad of three young children,
I’ve frequently experienced the difficulties
of trying to find a diaper
changing station while out with my
kids,” said co-sponsor Rep. Simon
Cataldo (D-Concord). “This bill aims
to make it easier and safer for all parents
and caretakers to change kids’
diapers in public buildings.”
“This legislation will make it clear
that parents and children are welcome
in the commonwealth’s public
spaces,” said co-sponsor Rep. Steve
Owens (D-Watertown). “By providing
changing stations that are accessible
to all, we can keep our children
and public spaces clean and healthy.”
ALLOW PHARMACISTS TO TEST,
SCREEN AND TREAT PATIENTS FOR
SOME CONDITIONS (H 4066) – The
Financial Services Committee held
a hearing on a measure that would
allow pharmacists to test, screen
and treat some specific qualified
health conditions including influenza,
streptococcal infections, COVID-19
and HIV,
“Pharmacists are critical players in
protecting the health of our communities,
and they are more than
capable of serving as care providers
for common health conditions,” said
sponsor Rep. Kay Khan (D-Newton).
“Given that over 90 percent of Americans
live within fi ve miles of a pharmacy,
this bill will make healthcare
more accessible for everyone, especially
the most underserved populations.
Allowing vulnerable communities
to get tested and treated for
common diseases right down the
street at their local pharmacy can signifi
cantly improve health outcomes,
reduce health disparities and promote
health equity across the commonwealth.”
DENIAL
OF COVERAGE BY HEALTH
CARE INSURERS (S 663) – Another
measure before the Financial Services
Committee would prohibit health
insurers from denying claims except
in the case where the carrier has reasonable
basis supported by specific
info that the claim was submitted
fraudulently. Also requires insurers to
provide clarifi cations of refusals, offer
suffi cient time for policy holders
to resubmit claims and to respond to
refusal appeals within 30 days.
Supporters said that some health
insurers still deny claims filed by
health care providers due to administrative
or technical defects. They argued
this creates disruptions in care
for patients, who are often left responsible
for bridging the gap between
insurers and providers when
errors arise.
“Whether it’s an administrative error
or a technical default with a claim,
too many medically necessary treatments
are denied by insurance providers
for the wrong reasons,” said
sponsor Sen. John Keenan (D-Quincy).
“We need to improve the process
so that care is disrupted as little
as possible when mistakes like this
are made.”
EXEMPT CITIES AND TOWNS FROM
GAS TAX (H 2846) – A measure heard
by the Revenue Committee would
exempt all cities and towns from the
24-cents-per-gallon state gas tax.
“Our current system requires cities
and towns to wait for the annual
distribution of local aid before seeing
any kind of rebate or return of
the taxes paid on the municipal purchase
of fuel,” said sponsor House
GOP Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones
(R-North Reading). “By providing a
permanent exemption from the excise
tax, cities and towns will have
immediate access to these additional
local revenues to use as they see
fi t. While we are all currently dealing
with the continually high cost of
gasoline and heating oil, this legislation
represents one way we can provide
our cities and towns with much
needed tax relief.”
EXEMPT MASKS, FACE SHIELDS
AND GLOVES FROM THE SALES TAX
(H 2732) –Another bill before the
Revenue Committee would exempt
masks, face shields, medical gloves
and smocks from the state’s 6.25 percent
sales tax.
“As COVID-19 cases once again increase
and we battle ongoing infl ation,
ensuring these products remain
accessible and aff ordable is of the utmost
importance,” said Sponsor Rep.
Tackey Chan (D-Quincy).
REVENGE PORN (S 1139) – The Judiciary
Committee held a hearing
on legislation that would prohibit
the posting of sexually explicit images
of another person online without
their permission—commonly referred
to as “revenge porn.” The practice
is often used by ex-spouses or
ex-partners.
“Massachusetts continues to be
one of only two states in the nation
that does not criminalize revenge
porn and it is beyond time that we
close this loophole,” said sponsor
Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield). “Far
too many individuals have suff ered
through this painful abuse, and continue
to live in fear, all without having
an avenue to seek justice.”
Another provision in the bill
changes current law under which
minors, under 18 years of age, who
share explicit images of themselves
or other minors can be charged with
violating Massachusetts child pornography
laws and be required to
register with the Sex Off ender Registry.
The bill allows minors to be diverted
to an educational program
that would provide them with information
about the consequences of
posting or transmitting indecent visual
depictions of minors.
Supporters say that under current
law, when faced with an incident of
sexting among teenagers, law enforcement
offi cials are faced with either
charging them with a felony or
taking no action. They note the proposal
provides law enforcement offi
cers with a middle ground that will
allow them to educate kids about the
consequences of their actions without
ruining their lives.
The House and Senate approved
diff erent versions of similar measures
in 2022 but the proposals eventually
died in the House from inaction.
QUOTABLE QUOTES
“Make no mistake about it, it’s not
going to be easy every year. We don’t

are going to be here after me that
we’ll make it -- we’ll make it work.”

Utilities. Prado and his co-conspirators
also used the stolen
social security numbers for tax
reporting on their fraudulent
accounts. Once the driving accounts
were active, Prado either
used the accounts himself or
rented them out to others, who
also could not pass the background
checks, often because
they did not have social security
numbers and were in the United
States illegally. Prado also used
his fake driver accounts to get
bonuses from rideshare companies
by referring his other fake
driver accounts as new drivers.
In addition, Prado and his coconspirators
used an app, which
they called “the drone,” to spoof
rides and ride lengths, so that
they were paid by the rideshare
companies for “ghost rides” or
for rides that were longer and
more expensive than those actually
provided. Prado received
payments via bank accounts
that he opened in the names of
identity theft victims.
The charges of wire fraud conspiracy
and wire fraud each carry
a maximum sentence of 20
years of in prison, three years of
supervised release, and a fi ne of

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.
