Revere will move forward and build the new high school on the former Wonderland Dog Track site. City councillors voted 9-2 this week to authorize a $493,217,901 bond to pay for the new school along with approximately $238 million supported by Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) Grant funding. Mayor Patrick Keefe, who has pushed hard to get the school built at Wonderland, spoke briefl y to the council before their vote. “This is the city’s largest bond authorization ever,†Keefe told the council. “ For the last four years, we have worked relentlessly to make sure we make the best choice. The council has asked every question, turned over every stone. Whatever your decision is, I respect it.†Unlike prior council meetings and presentations regarding the high school, there were no emotional speeches or contentious exchanges.

Committee member Anthony Caggiano opened a discussion on cell phones. “Cell phones have to leave the classroom, period, end of conversation,†said Caggiano adding it’s impossible not to see how disruptive they are. The committee approved a cell phone policy last year that does not allow cell phone use in class. High school students can carry their phones and use them during their lunch period. Students who do use a phone in class can have their phone confiscated and returned at the end of the period. Repeated off enses would mean a confiscated phone could only be returned to parents. Anthony Caggiano School Committee Member “Too many teachers won’t take phones away,†said Caggiano who added a ban on cell phones in schools is being considered at the state level. He suggested Revere be ahead of the curve and ban them now. “Do the teachers a favor and throw them out of the classroom,†he said.

This past week Mayor Patrick Keefe convened a meeting of top public safety offi cials and local and state agencies to discuss safety and security measures for Revere Beach during the summer of 2024. The meeting included high-ranking officials from the Revere Police Department, the Massachusetts State Police, the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department, APPROVES | FROM Page 1 cil President Anthony Cogliandro invited anyone in the audience who felt they needed to say something to come to the podium. But no one from the public stepped forward to Celebrating Our 52nd Year Chris 2024 the District Attorney’s Office, the MBTA, the Department of Conservation & Recreation and other key stakeholders. Two of the items discussed during the meeting were an updated communications plan between the agencies and stakeholders and a plan to increase public safety visibility. “It’s important that we take proactive action now,†Mayor Keefe commented. He continued, noting, “This is one of the fi rst, and defi nitely the largest, meetings ever hosted with focus on a public safety plan for speak in favor or in opposition to the bond. According to a press release by the Mayor’s Offi ce, the origins of the project date back to 2016, when the City of Revere began submitting annual applications to the MSBA for support in constructing a new high school. On the third attempt, in 2018, the MSBA invited the City of Revere to participate in their Core Project Program. Since then, the project has made signifi cant strides, including procurement, designer selection, location selection and design. Now, the project has received the required funding to move forward. The City and School Building Committee anticipate that the school will have a useful life of at least 50 years. The decision comes after months of financial review meetings hosted by Mayor Keefe and CFO Rich Viscay. “I worked closely with elected offi cials to make sure that all of the fi nancials, as well as the building process, were clearly spelled out. It is important to me that each person made an informed decision.†Mayor Keefe added, “It says a lot that we all were able to share our input and work together for a common goal, with our students and faculty in mind.†Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri agreed that extra time was needed to approve the spending for the school. “Is it scary? Yes, but we don’t live in a perfect world but our students need a perfect education,†said Silvestri. Councillor-at-Large Juan Pablo Jaramillo said he owes his career to the education he received at Revere High. “We owe it to our kids to give them a chance. We owe it to them to build a high school. It’s an investment in the well-being of our future,†said Jaramillo. Revere Beach over the course of this summer.†For Mayor Keefe, public safety is a top priority: “There is always a steep spike in visitors from other communities when temperatures start warming up. With the summer season just around the corner, we want to make this message clear.†Mayor Keefe spoke to the signifi cance of the meeting: “Make no mistake, we are aware of residents’ concerns. We want summer trips to Revere Beach to be a safe and positive experience, for residents and visitors alike.†Councillors-at-Large Michelle Kelley and Anthony Zambuto voted against authorizing the bond. “The risk is too great,†said Kelley, who listed the viability of the Suffolk Downs development, the uncertain economic atmosphere and the pending $100 million eminent domain lawsuit the former owners of Wonderland have fi led against the city as some of the reasons she felt the large bond authorization was too great a chance to take. “There are too many residents, seniors, who fi nd it diffi - cult to stay in their homes,†she said, adding that a proposition 2 1/2 override would be devastating for some residents. “I’m here to protect the taxpayers, that’s what I do,†said Zambuto, who has consistently opposed the project at Wonderland. “There are too many uncertainties, including unknown costs for the land. This is built on a house of cards. It’s irresponsible for me to vote for this bond — that’s why I’m not going to do it.†Cogliandro expressed his confi dence in the Keefe Administration. “This is a willingness to take a risk; we all know that,†he said. “My vote is about my trusting the ability of the administration to fi nd the right way to pay for this school.†“I am very proud of all of our elected offi cials for making this courageous decision,†said Mayor and School Building Committee Chairperson Patrick M. Keefe Jr. Mayor Keefe continued, “One of the greatest status symbols of a city is a strong, well-equipped public school system. This decision does not only benefi t the future students and teachers of Revere, but future families and property owners who may choose to plant their roots in our community.†׉ Ú7cassandra://uUPKqbTYZXTkOpUQfc-zJhbJT-2gZjVBWY6l4gQu4WMÍ/^Í`Ì°Í×fO­Î™me‡”º×‰EÚ”THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 24, 2024 Page 3 MASSACHUSETTS HOUSE PASSES INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY BOND BILL $1.23 billion bond bill would modernize the Commonwealth’s IT infrastructure B OSTON — Wednesday, May 15, 2024 — The Massachusetts House of Representatives passed An Act to provide for the future information technology needs of Massachusetts, also known as the FutureTech Act. This bill authorizes $1.23 billion in bonded spending and utilizes an additional $400 million in anticipated federal funding to bolster critical information technology projects across the Commonwealth. The initiatives included in the bill aim to modernize the Commonwealth’s information technology infrastructure, enabling agencies to operate with enhanced effi ciency while also upgrading cybersecurity eff orts. By investing in these advancements, Massachusetts seeks to broaden access to vital services and information, ultimately enhancing the digital landscape and user experience for all residents. “Ensuring that the Commonwealth is investing heavily in our technology infrastructure is critical, as protecting against cybersecurity threats, and enabling state agencies to operate with an increased level of effi ciency, are vital aspects of our eff ort to make Massachusetts more safe, eff ective, and prepared in a world dominated by increasingly sophisticated technologies,†said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “I want to thank Governor Healey for fi ling this legislation, as well as Chairs Michlewitz and Finn for their critical input, and for guiding this bill through the legislative process. I am grateful to all of my colleagues in the House for recognizing the importance of this bill, and for voting to pass it.†“The FutureTech Bond Bill will make state government more accessible and more eff ective for everyone in Massachusetts by ensuring our IT systems are up-todate, safe and secure, and easy to use. This will put Massachusetts in a stronger position to take advantage of new innovations, like applied AI, in ways that benefi t our residents, businesses and economy. We are grateful to Speaker Mariano and the House for moving this bill forward,†said Governor Maura T. Healey. “The FutureTech Act positions Massachusetts as a leader in current and emerging technologies,†said Representative Jessica Giannino (D- Revere). “ This bill not only ensures that our state’s technological competitiveness stays up-to-date, but also supports innovation at the local level, ultimately saving towns and cities money through improvements to their networks.†“The FutureTech Act will provide the Commonwealth a more safe, reliable, and effi cient technological experience for everyone. I want to thank leadership for their forward thinking on these emerging technologies and innovations, including all the ways it is set out to protect the people as well as increase user ability. I believe this bond bill is critical for cybersecurity and the technological growth of the Commonwealth,†said Representative Jeff rey Rosario Turco (D. Winthrop). “The passage of the FutureTech Act of 2024 marks a signifi cant milestone in Massachusetts’ journey towards technological advancement and growth, promising a safer, more connected future for all residents,†said Representative Michael J. Finn (D-West Springfield), House Chair of the Joint Committee on Bonding, Capital Expenditures, and State Assets. The FutureTech Act not only ensures the seamless operation of essential government functions but also lays a foundation for future innovation. Key initiatives include the implementation of transformative projects like the Business Enterprise Systems Transformation (BEST) and the Commonwealth Digital Roadmap, both aimed at enhancing administrative workfl ow effi ciency and streamlining state operations. The bill also supports a new project to consolidate and modernize the Division Occupational Licensing (DOL)’s licensing database. This project will replace the current outdated infrastructure, which relies on paper fi les as well as manual data entry and review, resulting in delayed application and renewal processing. The bill also includes authorizations for the continued rollout of the Employment Modernization Transformation (EMT), a project which will provide both employers and those seeking unemployment insurance with a new portal to conduct state-facing employment activities, facilitating a streamlined claims process for uploading information with a mobile-friendly design and increased accessibility features. In addition to addressing the Commonwealth’s immediate needs, the FutureTech Act embraces a forward-looking strategy to position Massachusetts as a leader in current and emerging technologies. By allocating funds for future AI projects and supporting initiatives like the Municipal Fiber Grant Program, the bill not only ensures our state’s technological competitiveness today, but also supports innovation at the local level, ultimately saving Jessica Giannino State Representative towns and cities money through enhancements to their networks. Investments include: • $750 million to improve service delivery to the public, including: - $120 million for Business Enterprise Systems Transformation (BEST) - $100 million for Commonwealth Digital Roadmap - $240 million for Health Insurance Exchange - $90 million for One Health • $200 million for technology or telecommunications infrastructure improvements or maintenance, including: - $52 million for Employment Modernization Transformation (EMT) - $10 million for Integrated Eligibility and Enrollment Program - $12 million for Child Care Financial Assistance (CCFA) Jeff rey Rosario Turco State Representative Modernization - $30 million for Electronic Health Records Modernization • $200 million to support the security of the Commonwealth’s IT Infrastructure, including: - $3 million for Criminal Justice 360 System - $5 million DOC Radio Modernization Initiative - $17 million Emergency Assistance Family Shelter Technology System • $250 million for various strategic initiatives, improvements to business intelligence, and modernization of governmental functions, including: - $15 million for Integrated Digital Data Services (IDDS) - $13 million for Enhanced Student Financial Aid Access MASS HOUSE | SEE Page 7 Lawrence A.

Kelly said parents can go into their plans and limit their student’s phone use to emergency calls during school hours. Kelly suggested some parents would embrace the idea of a contract. Committee members agreed to continue hammering out a policy as they have three upcoming months to fi gure out which way to go with a cell phones. Attendance, which is down since before Covid, was also up for discussion at this week’s meeting. Committee member John Kingston shared a story about a conversation with a retired teacher who told him about a student who missed 15 days of school while travelling with his family. Kingston questioned the attendance policy and if there were any consequences for students who missed so much class time. Supt. Kelly intervened and said if a student can miss 15 days and still master class concian in February 1980. Janis, too, worked there part-time in high school and college. She earned her doctorate in optometry from the New England School of Optometry in 1985 and has worked there as the optometrist ever since. Many other Cotter family members have worked for this small business in various capacities, including their late mother and aunt, who handled the booktent, there’s something wrong with the class. It’s not rigorous or challenging enough. Kelly asked the committee if they wanted to go back to the old days when if you missed five days, you failed. And that’s not where committee members wanted to go. They suggested better tracking methods and alerts to parents when students are absent. keeping for many years. Janis and PJ’s sister, Trisha, and late siblings, Susan and Karen, also worked in the family business over the years in addition to many nieces and currently, PJ’s son-in-law, Dan. The business name was offi cially changed to Parkway Optical and Eye Care in 1985. This small family-run business in our community will be deeply missed. Engaging parents for an intervention about problems with attendance was seen as a next step. The committee also felt there was room to accommodate family vacations and trips. “I get off ended when you say we are going back to the old days,†committee member Aisha Milbury-Ellis said to Kelly. “We don’t want to go back, but we want to have standards.†Eastern Bank Building on Rte. 1S 605 Broadway, #301 * Saugus (781) 233-6844 www.bostonnorthdental.com Dr. Priti Amlani Dr. Bhavisha Patel * Restorative Dentistry * Cosmetic Dentistry * Implant Restoration * Zoom Whitening * Teeth in a Day - All on 6 * Invisalign * CEREC Crowns (Single Visit Crowns) * Root Canal Treatment * Sedation Dentistry ~ Full Mouth Rehabilitation ~ Before After ׉ Ú7cassandra://OvH0czRwochmrhrueTLyv7WU5kbETmD2Btr2gKBsi5cÍ.èÍ`Ì°Í×fO­Î™me‡”½×fO­Î™me‡”¼Í P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://H-gKuoWT1jPO-J_0bgFj709F2_JVWepQi7OkVypGBvoÎ ì„Í`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://YhNEE7HX-UVmwNdvxaFLwSr-bdE4zXQ31wMYc28He6kÍŸcÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://wyrwoYFGGZ7KQuM4fU8t6b9xs3WpFcRc5WPuWwsH1KEÍ*Í`Ì°Í×fO­Ð™me‡”ÝטšÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://oafOBvkinD1-DsT8tIpLdK6r-OycNcT1wNbOuTIP65EίÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://2FJCKlGuvRMWx-o1cWctt7O8zqnxsge4BKVe1J4L4WMÍ—NÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://NSdw_qLD0wNvqucoCUOXlKYuD2hXMLxJm5Kovw9QObIÍ-NÍ`Ì°Í×fO­Ð™me‡”Þ‘× ×fO­Ð™me‡”áÍ›ÍÍV9×H»http://WWW.SABATINO-INS.COM× × Ј׉EÚ$¼Page 6 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 24, 2024 MASSACHUSETTS HOUSE PASSES MAJOR HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION Legislation is largest update to health care laws since 2012 B OSTON — Thursday, May 16, 2024 — The Massachusetts House of Representatives today passed comprehensive legislation that aims to restore stability to the health care system, bolster accountability within the industry, and control health care spending to ensure that everyone in Massachusetts has access to quality, aff ordable health care.

Despite this, the recent Steward Medical bankruptcy and the slow demise of our community hospitals are a threat to the entire system. This important piece of healthcare reform demonstrates that our Commonwealth can learn from mistakes and be nimble enough to make bold changes. History will show this legislation is an important step in stabilizing the system and improving the delivery of healthcare to our residents,†said Representative Jeff rey Rosario Turco (DWinthrop). The legislation passed continues the House’s commitment to bettering the Commonwealth’s health care system, as was demonstrated during the passage of Massachusetts’ landmark health care reform laws of 2006 and 2012. Strengthening oversight To prevent hospitals and other providers from exploiting the same gaps in the state’s regulatory structure that Steward Health Care exposed, the bill passed makes important updates to the Commonwealth’s laws that govern the oversight of hospital systems and other provider organizations. The House legislation: • Increases transparency related to the corporate structure of hospitals and other provider organizations by requiring disclosure of signifi - cant for-profi t investment, including any private equity investments, and empowers the state’s Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA) to gather more fi nancial data on hospitals and other provider organizations • Enhances penalties for failure to comply with data reporting requirements, including increased fi nancial penalties, adverse consequences for licensure, and withholding approvals of future projects • Empowers the Health Policy Commission (HPC) to scrutinize certain transactions more closely for anticompetitive impacts, such as signifi cant equity investments that result in a change of ownership or control of a hospital, conversion of a hospital from a non-profit to a for-profi t entity, and a signifi cant transfer of a hospital’s assets • Expands the Attorney General’s authority to seek information from signifi cant equity investors, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and management service organizations as part of that offi ce’s statutory authority to monitor and investigate health care trends, and exposes entities with an ownership or controlling interest in a provider organization to potential liability under the state’s False Claims Act if the entity knew, but did not report, that a provider organization was defrauding MassHealth, for example The bill also makes important reforms to prevent acute care hospitals from selling their most valuable asset, their land, to REITs. When Steward sold their hospital properties to Medical Properties Trust (MPT) in 2016 for $1.25 billion, Steward agreed to lease back their former properties from MPT for exorbitant rents, syphoning away important resources and depriving the hospital operations and patients from needed investments. The House bill prohibits the future leasing of land from REITs for the operation of a hospital’s inpatient facilities and requires increased disclosure of other lease arrangements as part of the licensure process with the Department of Public Health (DPH). In response to the tragic death of a patient at one of Steward’s hospitals, the bill also improves patient safety by ensuring that DPH is notified if a hospital’s medical or surgical supplies are at risk of repossession because of a hospital’s fi nancial condition. The bill requires a secured creditor or vendor of medical equipment to notify the hospital and DPH of a possible repossession of equipment 60 days before the intended repossession. Addressing the rising cost of health care To address the rising cost of health care in Massachusetts, the bill passed reforms the HPC and the health care cost growth benchmark by establishing a benchmark-setting process that is more responsive to market HEALTH CARE | SEE Page 13 ׉ Ú7cassandra://wyrwoYFGGZ7KQuM4fU8t6b9xs3WpFcRc5WPuWwsH1KEÍ*Í`Ì°Í×fO­Î™me‡”¾×‰EÚ®THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 24, 2024 Page 7 RevereTV Spotlight “F abulous Foods with Victoria Fabbo†is a cooking show with health and ingredients in mind.

The Patriots were 13-5 heading into their fi nal two games. Revere fell to Somerville, 7-6, in its most recent game, despite out-hitting them 4-2. Anna Doucette led Revere with two hits. Revere fought back after falling down by four runs in the fourth inning, but the comeback fell just short. Revere closed the gap by scoring on an error, a single, a steal of home, and a triple. Revere got on the board in the first inning after Doucette tripled, scoring one run. Somerville tied the game at one in the top of the second. A triple by Somerville gave the Highlanders the lead, 4-1, in the top of the third. Danni Hope Randall took the loss for Revere. She went seven innings, giving up seven runs (four earned) on two hits, striking out 14 and walking eight. Frankie Reed and Doucette each drove in one run for Revere. Jordan Martelli and Riley Straccia each stole multiple bases for Revere, which ran wild on the base paths, tallying six stolen bases for the game. “They battled back. They played hard,†Revere coach Megan O’Donnell said. “Every team turns around the second half of the season, so you can’t take anybody for granted, but Somerville made some really great plays on us.

They made the defensive plays.†Coach O’Donnell highlighted the team’s overall solid hitting performance but noted struggles in clutch situations, particularly in later innings. Despite facing tough opponents like Everett, the team has shown resilience, battling back in games even when nervousness set in. The team has played a lot of softball in recent weeks, and the coach believes a short break and a good practice session have helped maintain hitting consistency. While some players have had ups and downs, O’Donnell emphasized that this is part of the game. The team’s overall fi elding has shown signifi cant improvement compared to last year, contributing to their competitiveness. Coach O’Donnell has made slight adjustments to the lineup, but the core remains the same. The coach expressed confi dence in the players’ ability to deliver hits when needed as the regular season winds down. The team has been aggressive on the bases, leveraging their speed to capitalize on opponents’ mistakes. “We’ve been hitting the ball well in some games, but we haven’t really got hits late in the game, especially against Everett,†O’Donnell said. “We battled with them. Again, we got a little nervous because but every plate is tough and we battled back. I feel like we’re coming together.†Leading the charge hittingwise is Lea Doucette, who has been nothing short of phenomexpenses, and give the HPC greater insight into longerterm trends • Gives the HPC increased enforcement authority when a health care entity exceeds the benchmark, and when a fi rst performance improvement plan (PIP) is not successful, by allowing the HPC to suggest elements of a new PIP and to conduct Cost and Market Impact Review (CMIR), which may result in a referral to the Attorney General The bill also establishes a dedicated Division of Health Insurance (DOHI) to review health insurance rates for aff ordability for consumers and purchasers of health insurance products.

Her power and consistency have been critical, driving in 29 runs and scoring 34 herself. Doucette’s on-base percentage of.731 and slugging percentage of.776 highlight her eff ectiveness as a hitter. Additionally, she has demonstrated exceptional speed on the bases, stealing 29 bases without getting caught. Ally Straccia has also made significant contributions with her bat and speed. Batting.564, Straccia has collected 22 hits in 39 at-bats, including three doubles and two home runs. Her ability to get on base and drive in runs has been crucial, as evidenced by her 18 RBIs and 19 runs scored. Straccia’s on-base monwealth’s largest economic sectors. This bill raises the assessments on insurance companies to pay for increased staff to give health insurance products the scrutiny they deserve. Protecting independent community hospitals and slowing further market consolidation This legislation includes several policies to advance the House’s long-standing policy goal of protecting low-cost, high-value health care providers and of avoiding further market consolidation by larger hospital systems. The bill establishes and integrates a Rate Equity Target within the benchmark enforcement process for insurance companies, with the goal of raising the reimbursement rate for historically poorly reimbursed acute percentage of.820 and slugging percentage of.795 further underscore her impact on the fi eld. She has also been aggressive on the base paths, successfully stealing eight bases and demonstrating an 88% success rate in stolen bases. Riley Straccia has been another standout performer, boasting a.532 batting average with 25 hits in 47 at-bats. Her nine doubles and two triples highlight her ability to hit for extra bases. Straccia has driven in 19 runs and scored 26, showing her all-around contributions to the team’s off ense. With a slugging percentage of.809 and an onbase percentage of.700, she has been a reliable hitter throughout the season. Shayna Smith has provided a power surge for the team, hitting.491 with 27 hits in 55 atcare hospitals. The bill incentivizes insurance companies to pay these hospitals no less than 15 percent below the average reimbursement rate for hospitals in the insurance company’s network during the fi rst three-year benchmark cycle from 2026 to 2029. Thereafter, the bill guarantees a minimum percentage increase in a hospital’s reimbursement rate as a percentage of the health care cost growth benchmark. This up-front investment by commercial insurers will provide needed resources for lowcost providers for the long-term benefi t to the health care market given that, if such hospitals were to close or merge with a larger hospital system, total health care costs in the Commonwealth would inevitably increase. The bill, via an amendment from Representative Frank A. Moran, also provides a Medicaid bats. Her 12 doubles and four home runs showcase her ability to change the game with one swing. Smith has driven in 28 runs and scored 19, making her a key run producer for the team. Her slugging percentage of.964 is among the best on the team, and her on-base percentage of.600 indicates her ability to get on base consistently. Frankie Reed has been another key contributor, hitting.473 with 26 hits in 55 at-bats. She has driven in 31 runs and scored 25, providing a steady presence in the lineup. Reed’s seven doubles and two home runs have added to the team’s off ensive fi repower. Her on-base percentage of.782 and slugging percentage of.709 demonstrate her eff ectiveness at the plate. On the pitching side, Hope Randall has been a workhorse, pitching 97 innings and striking out 153 batters. Despite allowing 103 runs, her ability to limit earned runs to 46 and maintain a 3.32 ERA has been commendable. Randall’s control has been solid, with 110 walks and only fi ve home runs allowed, showing her ability to keep the ball in the park. Gianna Chiodi has provided valuable innings as well, pitching 16 innings with 25 strikeouts. Though her ERA is higher at 8.75, her ability to get strikeouts and handle pressure situations has been important for the team. “We’ve had huge improvement,†O’Donnell said, “compared from this year to last year all around.†rate enhancement for a similar group of hospitals, based on a hospital’s percentage of patients that are public payers and their relative commercial reimbursement rate as compared to other hospitals. “Today, the House of Representatives took swift action to shape the future of Massachusetts health care in a post-Steward landscape and to better protect patient care,†said Representative Frank A. Moran (DLawrence), Second Assistant Majority Leader. “As someone who has a safety net hospital in my hometown, I am grateful to my colleagues for their support in adopting my amendment to help provide relief to our fi nancially strained safety net hospitals who are reimbursed at lower rates than their private, commercial peers.

There were no roll calls in the Senate last week. The House gave near unanimous approval to two major bills — one making major investments in information technology (IT) upgrades, and the other aimed at restoring stability to the health care system, bolstering accountability within the industry and controlling health care spending. Only two representatives voted against the IT bill — Reps. Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick) and Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica). And only Boldyga voted against the health care measure. Beacon Hill Roll Call asked Boldyga for a quote on why he voted against both bills. “It just feels good to vote the right way on these issues,†he responded. Beacon Hill Roll Call also asked Lombardo why he voted against the IT proposal. Nancy Cadigan, Lombardo’s chief of staff, echoed Boldyga’s response. “That sums it up. Sounds perfect,†said Cadigan. FUNDING FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (H 4642) House 152-2, approved and sent to the Senate a bill to invest in information technology (IT) upgrades, improvements and new projects across state government. The measure authorizes $1.23 billion in bonded spending and $400 million in anticipated federal funds. Provisions include $750 million to improve service delivery to the public; $200 million for technology and telecommunications infrastructure improvements and maintenance; $200 million to support the security of the state’s IT Infrastructure; and $250 million for various strategic initiatives, improvements to business intelligence and modernization of governmental functions. “The [bill] will make state government more accessible and more eff ective for everyone in Massachusetts by ensuring our IT systems are upto-date, safe and secure and easy to use,†said Gov. Maura Healey. “This will put Massachusetts in a stronger position to take advantage of new innovations, like applied AI, in ways that benefi t our residents, businesses and economy.†“Ensuring that the commonwealth is investing heavily in our technology infrastructure is critical, as protecting against cybersecurity threats, and enabling state agencies to operate with an increased level of effi ciency, are vital aspects of our eff ort to make Massachusetts more safe, eff ective, and prepared in a world dominated by increasingly sophisticated technologies,†said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “The passage of the [bill] marks a signifi cant milestone in Massachusetts’ journey towards technological advancement and growth, promising a safer, more connected future for all residents,†said Rep. Michael Finn (D-West Springfi eld), House Chair of the Committee on Bonding, Capital Expenditures and State Assets. $7.5 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL FUNDING (H 4642) House 152-2, approved an IT bill consolidated amendment that would add $7.5 million, mostly to fund local projects, to the price tag of the measure. Amendment supporters said these additional local projects are important to many cities and towns across the state. They argued the amendment would make the bill even better. Not included in the consolidated amendment was a proposal by Rep. Mike Soter (RBellingham), that would ban the use or download of TikTok by public employees on state-owned electronic devices. Since it was not included, the proposal simply died and no further action was taken. Soter could have requested a separate roll call vote on his proposal, but he chose not to do so. Soter did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on why he fi led the proposal and why he didn’t ask for debate and a separate roll call on it. Most of the decisions on which representatives’ proposals are included or not included in the IT bill are made behind closed doors. Of the 59 proposals, many of them were bundled into the single consolidated amendment. The system works this way: Individual representatives fi le proposals. All members then pitch their proposals to Democratic leaders who draft a single consolidated amendment that includes some of the individual representatives’ proposals while excluding others. Supporters of the system say that any representative who sponsored an excluded proposal can bring it to the fl oor and ask for debate and an up or down vote on the proposal itself. They say this system has worked well for many years. Opponents say that rarely, if ever, does a member bring his or her proposal to the fl oor for an up-or-down vote because that is not the way the game is played. It is an “expected tradition†that you accept the fate of your amendment as determined by Democratic leaders. (A “Yes†vote is for the $7.5 million. A “No†vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes HEALTH CARE CHANGES (H 4643) House 152-1, approved and sent to the Senate a 102-page bill that supporters said aims to “restore stability to the health care system, bolster accountability within the industry, and control health care spending to ensure that everyone in Massachusetts has access to quality, aff ordable health care.†According to the State House News Service, the measure “combines reforms intended to avert a repeat of the Steward Health Care crisis with changes designed to boost state oversight of facility expansions and closures, refine cost control tools to better account for fl uctuations and increase funding for hospitals that typically serve high shares of low-income patients and people of color.†“This legislation looks to the past, present and future of health care in the commonwealth,†said Rep. John Lawn (D-Watertown), House chair of the Committee on Health Care Financing. “It closes loopholes and shines a light on blind spots that allowed Steward to exploit Massachusetts patients for profi t. It protects and preserves underpaid community hospitals that are the lifeblood of medicine in the commonwealth. And it plans for stable and aff ordable health care growth moving forward.†“This bill is the most signifi - cant health care market oversight and cost containment legislation in more than a decade and is a continuation of the commonwealth’s longstanding eff ort to ensure that everyone in Massachusetts has access to quality, affordable health care,†said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “This legislation will help stabilize our health care system and ensure accountability from all stakeholders, as we continue to recover from the aftereff ects of the pandemic,†said Rep. Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), chair of the House Ways and Means Committee. “By strengthening oversight and making much needed reforms, this legislation will not only steady the industry, but will also help control costs for consumers.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill. A “No†vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL RAISE FINE FOR “RIGHT OF WAY†VIOLATIONS (H 3477) — The House gave initial approval to a measure that would raise from $35 to $200 the fi ne for violating the traffi c rule that provides when two vehicles approach or enter an intersection at approximately the same instant, the operator of the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right. The proposal also imposes additional penalties and/ or license revocation for up to six months for any of these violations that cause death, serious bodily harm or bodily harm. Sponsor Rep. Steven Xiarhos (R-Barnstable) noted the bill is named “Cecelia’s Law†— in memory of Cecelia Finnegan Alldredge of Sagamore who was killed on September 6, 2020, when a car turned in front of her and caused a fatal crash. “For the past three years, the Massachusetts Motorcycle Association, along with the Finnegan family and myself, have been tirelessly advocating for the passage of a bill aimed at increasing penalties for drivers responsible for accidents like the one that took Cecilia’s life,†said Xiarhos. “With motorcyclist fatalities reaching alarming levels nationwide, it is imperative that we take proactive measures to protect vulnerable road users.†MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANTS (H 3142) — The House gave initial approval to a bill that would allow the Bay State’s 41 municipal light plants to provide services to other Massachusetts municipal and state plants, and plants in other states. Current law prohibits this practice. Supporters said the bill will encourage more effi cient services such as constructing, maintaining and repairing utility poles and traffi c signals across the state and will also enable municipal light plants to sell, rent and lease merchandise. “This bill will allow for an expansion of services off ered by municipal light plants to surrounding communities,†said sponsor Rep. Jay Barrows (RMansfi eld). “This will be good for consumers as it ideally would enable more competitive services to be provided.†MUST INFORM CUSTOMERS ABOUT INSURANCE AVAILABILITY FOR HEATING OIL SPILLS (H 3686) — The House gave initial approval to a proposal that would require retail companies that sell home heating oil to annually inform all their customers of the opportunity to purchase insurance for heating oil spills. ׉ Ú7cassandra://qf98t9Miuw52HGEL0OkLRi-K5uaepHF1KnOAM-fKSMkÍ%ŽÍ`Ì°Í×fO­Î™me‡”Æ׉EÚ(jTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 24, 2024 Page 15 Current law requires that insurance companies make coverage available for owners but supporters of this bill say that while coverage is available, there are many documented cases of insurance companies not making owners aware that the coverage is available. They said this often results in homeowners being unaware they do not have insurance coverage until after they experience a liquid fuel tank leak. They noted that the bill will provide an additional layer of customers being informed of the availability of the insurance. Supporters said that some 100 homeowners experience an oil leak in Massachusetts every year. They noted that leaks can incur costly damage to the residence itself, but under Massachusetts law owners are responsible for environmental cleanup, which can rise to $100,000 or more, to dispose of contaminated soil and mitigate the spread in surrounding areas. Rep. Michael Day (D-Stoneham), the sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on why he fi led the bill and how he feels about its initial approval. QUOTABLE QUOTES “It is an honor to be named the most sustainable state in the nation. State and local partnerships like the Green Communities program have propelled clean energy innovation across Massachusetts. We are grateful for the hard work being done by our cities and towns to address climate change and protect public health. Local action is vital to reducing Massachusetts’ carbon emissions.†---Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll reacting to Forbes Magazine ranking Massachusetts as the most environmentally-friendly state in the nation. “Every day we offer shelter, services and support with funding that doesn’t come close to the need. Our state has been a national leader in the fi ght to end homelessness and we are here today because we intend to continue to lead. But we need the resources to do it.†--- Lifebridge North Shore Vice President of Advocacy and Community Relations Gary Barrett advocating for funding for homeless programs, as members of the statewide Coalition for Homeless Individuals lobbied legislators on Beacon Hill for increased funding for homeless programs. “We are wholeheartedly dedicated to empowering our servicemembers, veterans and their families with comprehensive support across Massachusetts. This funding strengthens the backbone of our veteran community by expanding crucial peer support networks and broadening our suicide prevention eff orts, ensuring that we meet the evolving needs of our veterans with precision and compassion.†--- Jon Santiago, Secretary of Veterans Aff airs, announcing $2 million in grants through the Veterans Community Initiative Grant program for 15 community organizations to support informal and formal peer support eff orts as well as fund innovative programming to address suicide prevention in the veteran and servicemember community in Massachusetts. “Every day, but especially as we honor Mental Health Awareness Month, we work to reduce stigma associated with mental health challenges and suicidal thoughts. Through initiatives like suicide prevention services funding and the Roadmap for Behavioral Health Reform, it is our hope that anyone who struggles with their mental health know where to access services, and that it is OK to talk to someone and seek help.†---Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh announcing $1.9 million in annual state funding over the next 11 years awarded to 19 community organizations to provide suicide prevention, intervention and postvention services across the state. “I’m excited for this opportunity to showcase Massachusetts’ climate and economic leadership on the global stage, and to make the case for why businesses should consider starting and growing in our state. Massachusetts deeply values our close relationship with Italy and the Vatican City State, and we see this trip as an excellent opportunity to strengthen ties and strategize on future opportunities for collaboration.†---Gov. Maura Healey commenting on her trip to Italy with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. “The governor and mayor are jet setting to Italy under the guise of climate change awareness to learn new strategies on how they can force the people of Massachusetts to cut our consumption. In the age of Zoom and remote meeting options, there’s no reason for the contradicting emissionsheavy fl ight across the Atlantic in the name of saving our planet. There is so much pageantry, fl aunting of their status, self-celebration and hypocrisy.†--- Paul Craney, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. 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 May 13-17 the House met for a total of 13 hours and nine minutes and the Senate met for a total of nine minutes. Mon.

Financial and Legal Resources for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any programs that you can refer me to that financially help grandparents who are raising their grandkids? I’m raising two of my grandchildren and could use some help. Dear Tonya, Money is a common problem for the nearly 2.4 million U.S. grandparents who are raising their grandchildren today. To help with the day-to-day expenses, there are a wide variety of programs and tax benefi ts that can make a big diff erence in stretching your budget. Here’s where to look for help. Financial Assistance For starters, fi nd out whether your family qualifi es for your state’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, which may include cash assistance, food benefi ts, utility bill assistance and free or low-cost daycare. Or, if your household income is too high to qualify as a family, ask about the “child-only grant†for just the grandkids support alone. Also, check to see if you’re eligible for foster care payments as a relative caregiver, or if your state off ers any additional programs like guardianship subsidies, non-parent grants or kinship care. Adoption assistance payments are also available to adopted grandchildren with special needs. To inquire about these programs, contact your state’s TANF program and/or state Department of Human Services. See ACF.hhs.gov/ofa/map/ about/help-families for contact information. You also need to see if your grandkids are eligible for Social Security, including benefi ts for dependent children, survivor benefi ts or SSI — visit SSA. gov or call 800-772-1213. And fi nd out if they’re eligible for free/low-cost health or dental coverage through your state’s Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program — InsureKidsNow.gov or 877-5437669. You can also use Benefi ts.gov, the offi cial benefi ts website of the U.S. government that has a screening tool to help you identify the programs that you and your grandchildren may be eligible for and will direct you to the appropriate agency to apply. Tax Benefits In addition to the fi nancial assistance programs, there are also a range of tax benefi ts that you may qualify for too like the Earned Income Tax Credit or EITC which is available to those with moderate to low incomes, and the Child Tax Credit which is worth $2,000 per dependent child under age 17. If you’re working, and are incurring childcare expenses in order to work, there’s a Child and Dependent Care Credit that can help. And, if you’ve legally adopted your grandkids, there’s an Adoption Tax Credit that provides a federal tax credit of up to $16,810 in 2024. You can also deduct medical and dental expenses if you and your dependent grandchilTapped Out Tonya dren’s healthcare cost exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income for the year. And there’s even education-related tax credits that can help your grandkids go to college, like the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit. In addition to the tax credits and deductions, if you’re unmarried you may qualify for “head of household†status when you fi le your tax return, which has a higher standard deduction and a lower tax rate than you would fi ling as a single. Legal Help If you haven’t already done so, you should also talk to an attorney to discuss the pros and cons of obtaining legal guardianship, custody or adoption. Without some sort of legal custody, you may not be eligible for many of the previously listed fi nancial assistance programs, and there can be problems with basic things like enrolling your grandkids in school or giving a doctor permission to treat them. For help locating affordable or free legal assistance, visit FindLegalHelp.org, or call the Eldercare Locator at 800677-1116 for referrals. Also see GrandFamilies.org, a clearinghouse resource that off ers information on financial assistance, adoption, foster care and more. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

As Helen Keller once said, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched — they must be felt with the heart.†This quote encapsulates the profound impact Kevin had on those around him. Kevin was a loyal employee of the United States Postal Service for twenty fulfi lling years, serving as the Postmaster in Winchester and fi nding joy in connecting people through the mail. Outside of work, he was a man of many passions. An ardent fan of NHRA drag racing, music of all kinds, the Boston Bruins, and golf, Kevin was also a talented cook who appreciated a good beer. He brought his love for life and people into his hobbies, creating camaraderie and joy wherever he went. Kevin’s love extended beyond people, treating his dogs like his babies and giving them the same loving, supportive care he gave to everyone else in his life. Family and friends were the cornerstone of Kevin’s world. He was a loving husband to Gineen Dutra-Paul and a supportive brother to Christopher and Eric Paul. His parents, Fritz and Elaine Paul, preceded him in death, and we take solace in knowing they are reunited. His undeniable love and loyalty were felt by all who knew him. His ability to befriend anyone he met, coupled with his readiness to help those in need, made Kevin a cherished fi gure in his community.
