Family, Friend and Neighbor (FFN) childcare providers fi ll a major role in childcare services for many families across the state. However, less than one percent of state childcare subsidy funding goes to these FFN providers and the parents and children that rely on them. The Senator’s legislation would address this issue by increasing state fi nancial support to FFN childcare providers so that the most vulnerable families can access these key services and the providers can get paid more livable wages. “Every family in our state will need childcare at some point and this bill presents a rare win-win-win solution which would increase access to childcare for parents, raise wages for providers currently paid far too little, and reduce the strain on our state’s childcare facilities,” said Senator DiDomenico. “I want to thank Community Labor United and all the advocates, parents, and childcare providers who came to the State House to advocate for this critical proposal. I will not stop fi ghting for this legislation until it is passed into law.” ׉ 7cassandra://8o15Hv-WU_OvdKvgAfZrDsL14gl5Pk5VIVkTzOrcNxU5`i &,[׉EgTHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 7, 2025 Page 11 Everett launches food assistance programs as SNAP benefits halt during shutdown City offers weekly meals, grocery deliveries, holiday help and more to support residents in need Special to The Advocate M ayor Carlo DeMaria recently announced that in response to the ongoing government shutdown and the resulting loss of SNAP benefits, the City of Everett has launched a series of food assistance programs to help residents facing hardship.

The Crimson Tide led, 14-13, late in the fourth quarter before the Patriots staged the late comeback. Coach Rob DiLoreto was pleased with his team’s play in this game, as they continue to work hard to get that elusive third win. “I was impressed with the determination that our team played with against Revere,” said DiLoreto. “We were trailing, 13-0 at the half, and also turned the ball over four times. But our kids fought hard through those setbacks and responded very well in the second half. We battled back to take the lead, 14-13 late in the fourth quarter, but just could not hold on to it.” Junior quarterback Tyler T Freni scored one of the team’s two touchdowns from one yard out. It was in addition to another extraordinary statistical game from the young signal caller, who also completed six passes for 91 yards and Jamauri Dulin goes airborne with the reception for Everett. (Advocate photos by Emily Harney) carried the ball 22 times for 139 yards. Freni’s classmates Jamauri Dulin (6 carries, 27 yards) and Steven Thomas (6 for 20 yards) did their part to sustain drives on the ground. Senior Marcus Pierre was credited with 10 yards on five carries. Sammy Lacombe, also a senior, chewed up 19 yards on just two carries. Junior Armani Negron was credited with the other Everett touchdown in the game after hooking up with Freni on a 47-yard scoring strike. Dulin also caught up with three of Freni’s passes for 21 yards to go along with six of his aforementioned rushes.

They missed it by just one slim win, but with so many good players returning next fall, second-year coach Rodney Landaverde is excited about what lies ahead. “It was a tough way to end the season by not qualifying for playoffs, but I’m very hopeful for next year, as we have a strong group of players coming back, who will only be sophomores and juniors. They will lead the team with so much [varsity] playing experience, while still being young players,” said Landaverde. Despite the near postseason miss, the Crimson Tide still had two veteran players – Gabriel Garcia and Kevin Renderos – make the Greater Boston League (GBL) all-star team. “Both of these players contributed so much to the team offensively,” Landaverde said. “Gabriel [Garcia] had 10 goals and 1 assist, while Kevin [Renderos] contributed 1 goal and 3 assists to the team this season. They [brought] explosiveness up front, taking on players one-on-one, moving the ball across the field [continuously] and taking chances with corners and assisting the midfield spread on both sides of the [pitch]. “Gabriel, in particular, finished his final two years on the team with 14 goals under my watch, and I’m really proud of SPORTS | SEE PAGE 22 ׉ 7cassandra://-uT0mGgsiQw858oAzHAMKFiYa3xV1rWhRngdnY9_49A3`i &,c׉E=THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 7, 2025 Page 19 EHS Girls’ Varsity Soccer Team honors seniors T he Everett High School Crimson Tide Girls’ Varsity Soccer Team celebrated their seven seniors during their Senior Night against Lowell High School Red Raiders Girls’ Varsity Soccer Team on Tuesday night at Rivergreen Park.

Jones singled out their spirit, dedication and heart. “While the scoreboard didn’t always fall our way [the team finished up with a 5-12-1 record], the growth and resilience of my players demonstrated that the season was still nothing short of inspiring,” the coach said. “Our final record was certain- LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI25P5405EA Estate of: PATRICIA A.

Overall, it was a great season, full of essential learning moments that will serve these athletes well far beyond the turf. They learned how to handle tough losses, to push through exhaustion and to trust in each other completely. They have hung up their sticks for now, but I’m still proud of their effort this year, and the character that they have demonstrated, which will be our foundation going into next year. We are strong, because of it, and it’s built on the spirit, dedication and heart of every player who wore the Everett uniform this year. I’m already excited on what the future holds for this group, and I couldn’t ask for a better team to coach.” Jones is also thrilled to announce that Stéphano Orleus, Lindsey Sylva and Wilins Julien are representing their Everett teammates on the GBL all-star team this year. Jones said of Stéphano: “He is an exceptional field hockey player, who has been a dedicated team member for three years. Since joining the team as a sophomore, his hard work and determination have [produced] remarkable skill development. More than just his impressive talent on the field, Stéphano’s commitment and positive attitude also inspire his teammates, making him a natural leader. His continuous effort and growth make him an invaluable asset to the team, and is truly deserving of this all-star recognition.” The coach had this to say on Lindsey Sylva’s all-star season: “Lindsey is a five-year veteran who has been a consistent, reliable member of our field hockey team. Her strong skills and leadership both on and off the field have been instrumental in guiding her teammates [through the good and bad times]. Over the past year, Lindsey has shown remarkable growth and maturity, further elevating her impact [on the team]. She is also truly deserving of all-star recognition.” And finally, it was time for her to express the merits of junior goalie Wilins Julien: “Wilins is an exceptional goalie who has been a key member of the team since his freshman year.

Assistant captain Juliette Romboli recently notched her 200th career kill, while leading the team this year with 124 of them. She also led the team in aces with 47. Assistant captain Amanda Verteiro amassed over 250 career serves and nearly 60 aces. Lindsey Cherichel Paul and Shaeendra Hall played all four years in the program, and Lindsey led the team with 18 blocks. She also connected on 86% of her 140 serves over two varsity seasons, while tallying 45 kills during that same time period. Leliani Ros Morales was with the program for three years, and had 67 serves this season. Aya Selimovic finished her second varsity season with 12 blocks, second most on the squad. “This special group of players helped contribute to 20 wins and a tournament appearance over the last three years,” said coach Mike Fineran. “They also raised more than $1,500 to support breast cancer research.” The veteran coach went on to say that the team fell short of its goal to make the state tournament this fall but still stayed positive while battling through the whole season. “We played some of our best volleyball throughout the last week of this season, when we took on three tournament teams – Revere, Malden and Lowell – in a row [and competed with them to the end],” he added. Tide girls’ soccer ends season on an upbeat note The Everett High girls’ soccer team (6-9-2) ended the year on a high note with a 3-1 victory over non-league Lowell on the Rivergreen pitch on Senior Night (Oct. 28). Lowell led at halftime, 1-0, but with the home fans behind them, the Everett girls came together in the second half to secure the win. Casey Martinez recorded her second career high school free kick varsity goal to get the Tide moving in the right direction. Kathleen DeSouza was responsible for the eventual game-winner, when she setup Bella Mitrano with her first goal of the year. Liv Simon, one of the team’s two free kick specialists, then sent the ball into the box a short time later, where Kayla Andrade, who, according to coach Dom Persuitte, is one of the scrappiest players on the team, was able to get her foot on it to slot it past the Lowell goalie to account for the all-important insurance tally. “This was a much-needed win, even though it was our last game of the season,” said Persuitte. “The girls worked incredibly hard, and it showed.

Jim Hawkins (D-Attleboro). “Ten years ago it mattered that students learn about their credit score. It can aff ect not just buying a house but also car purchases and admission to schools and other programs. Now the economy is a threat since young people may want to buy a house but with $200,000 in student debt and $1,000 monthly car payments, they may have used up the limits of their indebtedness before even applying for a mortgage. And should they want to save up to a 20 percent down payment, that would be a challenge with $2500+ monthly apartment.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep.

The seal appears on the transcript or diploma of the graduating senior and is a statement of accomplishment for future college admission and employers. Under current law, in order to qualify for the seal, a student must meet criteria established by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) including a specified level of performance on the 10th grade language arts exams of the MCAS, and at least one nationally recognized and readily available assessment that measures literacy in a language other than English. The bill that the House approved updates these criteria by changing the MCAS requirement to allow another assessment or equivalent alternative to be established by BESE. “Under the current law, some bilingual students have been unintentionally excluded,” said sponsor Rep. Jack Lewis (D-Framingham). “Until now, the only way to prove English profi ciency was by passing the 10th grade English MCAS. That meant if you attended a private school that didn’t administer the MCAS, you were ineligible, even if you earned a fi ve on your AP English exam and a perfect score on the SAT.” “[My] bill addresses this issue,” continued Lewis. “Once it becomes law, all bilingual students, regardless of the high school they attend, will be eligible for this important designation.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes TEACHER PREPARATION AND STUDENT LITERACY (H 4672) House 155-0, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would provide a framework for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to identify and approve a list of high-quality curricula that school districts will select from for kindergarten through third grade literacy. It also allows districts to apply to DESE to use a K-3 literacy instruction curriculum that is not on DESE’s list of high-quality curricula, provided DESE verifi es that it uses evidence-based literacy instruction. Supporters said this bill would defi ne evidence-based early literacy as grounded in scientific research methods and demonstrated to produce signifi cant and positive effects on student learning outcomes. They noted that many school districts in Massachusetts have switched to evidence-based early literacy curricula, and some have been assisted by grants awarded through the state’s Literacy Launch Program. They said that some school districts have yet to fully adopt proven literacy curricula, despite it being the most eff ective way to improve reading outcomes. Supporters also argued that the bill supports teachers by requiring DESE to provide tools and resources, including online materials and free training modules, to aid districts with professional development aligned with evidence-based literacy instruction for K-3. It also ensures that educator preparation programs are preparing future educators in alignment with evidence-based literacy instruction. “We fi led this legislation because literacy is not just an academic skill — it is a life skill,” said Rep. Danillo Sena (D-Acton), the co-sponsor of an earlier version of the bill. “It is the foundation for all future learning, for civic participation, and for economic opportunity. This bill ensures that our students learn through evidence-based and high-quality strategies.” “As a former special education teacher and as a father of four young kids, making sure all students are taught to read using eff ective, scientifi cally proven methods is deeply personal to me,” said Rep. Simon Cataldo (D-Concord) also the co-sponsor of an earlier version of the bill. “I am proud to have co-fi led the bill.” “Currently, fewer than half of Massachusetts third graders are reading at grade level,” said Rep. Alice Pesich (D-Wellesley), another co-sponsor of an earlier version of the bill. “Research shows that children who do not read proficiently by the end of third grade are far more likely to fall behind academically, drop out of school or face limited opportunities later in life. We must ensure that every student in Massachusetts has access to high-quality, evidence-based literacy instruction.” American Federation of BEACON | SEE PAGE 25 ׉ 7cassandra://t9tu0IeaDgDMmNXoDvKh4Bct5vUn3Soo4I_9SJmqhx8.`i &,i׉E" THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 7, 2025 Page 25 Sa nir Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller How to Stave Off Cognitive Decline as You Age Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any proven strategies to preventing cognitive decline? I have a family history of dementia and worry about my own memory and cognitive abilities as I grow older. Forgetful at 55 Dear Forgetful, For most people, starting in their fi fties and sixties, the brain’s ability to remember names, multi-task or learn something new starts declining. While our genes (which we can’t control) play a key role in determining our cognitive aging, our general health (which we do have some control over) plays a big factor too. Here are some healthy lifestyle strategies – recommended by medical experts – you can employ that can help stave off cognitive loss and maybe even build a stronger brain. Manage health problems: Studies have shown that cognitive problems are related to health conditions, like diabetes, heart disease and even depression. So, if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes you need to treat them with lifestyle changes and medication (if necessary) and get them under control. And if you have a history of depression, talk to your doctor about treatment options. Exercise: Aerobic exercise increases blood fl ow to all parts of your body, including your brain, to keep the brain cells well nourished. So, choose an aerobic activity you enjoy like walking, cycling, dancing, swimming, etc., that elevates your heart rate and do it for at least 30 to 40 minutes three times a week. Eat healthy: A heart-healthy diet, like the Mediterranean diet, will also help protect the brain. A Mediterranean diet includes relatively little red meat and emphasizes whole grains, fruits and vegetables, fi sh and shellfi sh, and nuts, olive oil and other healthy fats. Also keep processed foods and sweets to a minimum. Get plenty of sleep: Quality, restful sleep contributes to brain health too. Typically, adults should get between seven and nine hours of sleep daily. If you have persistent problems sleeping, you need to identify and address the problem. Medications, late-night exercise and alcohol can interfere with sleep quality and length, as can arthritis pain, sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. If you need help, make an appointment with a sleep specialist who will probably recommend an overnight diagnostic sleep test. Challenge your mind: Some research suggests that mind challenging activities can help improve memory, and slow age-related mental decline. But be aware that these activities consist of things you aren’t accustomed to doing. In other words, crossword puzzles aren’t enough to challenge your brain, if you’re already a regular puzzle doer. Instead, you need to pick up a new skill like learning to dance, play a musical instrument, study a new language or do math problems – something that’s challenging and a little outside your comfort zone. Brain-training websites like Lumosity, Elevate and Peak are good mind exercising tools because they continually adapt to your skill level to keep you challenged. Socializing and interacting with other people is another important way to stimulate the brain. So, make a point to reach out and stay connected to friends, family and neighbors. Join a club, take a class or even volunteer – anything that enhances your social life. Don’t smoke or drink: Smoking and regular alcohol consumption both aff ect the brain in a negative way, so kick the habit if you smoke and, if you drink, do so only occasionally. Check your eyes and ears: A growing body of evidence shows that vision and hearing loss, which aff ects brain stimulation, can also increase the risk of cognitive decline. So, get your eyes and ears checked regularly and treat any issues promptly. Reduce stress: Some stress is good for the brain, but too much can be toxic. There’s evidence that things like mindfulness meditation, yoga and tai chi are all good ways to help reduce stress.

Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070. nior ior BEACON | FROM PAGE 24 Teachers Massachusetts President Jessica Tang has her doubts about parts of the bill. “As passed today, this bill establishes a limited, blanket curriculum that is concerning, particularly to veteran educators who have developed rich and eff ective evidence-based literacy curriculum over the years,” said Tang. “Even more concerning is that it bans important, proven tools our educators currently use and use successfully, particularly with our English language learners and students with special needs. As educators, we fully support evidence-based literacy curriculum. We also know that it will take more than just curriculum for our students to fully thrive as they progress from learning to read to reading to learn.” Tang continued, “Even though we have concerns, we are pleased that the bill passed today includes key provisions we were proud to advocate for, including reporting and tracking measures, expanding funding opportunities for critical positions and establishing a commission to continue the important work to advance literacy in the commonwealth. We will continue to work with legislative and state allies on this issue and we look forward to seeing what comes out of the Senate.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes STUDY EDUCATION WORKFORCE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS (H 4672) House 132-22, approved an amendment to a bill that would provide a framework for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to identify and approve a list of high-quality curricula that school districts will select from for kindergarten through third grade literacy. The amendment would provide that DESE, the Massachusetts Teachers Association, the American Federation of Teachers Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Association of School Committees and the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents study and make recommendations about the education workforce in public school districts in the area of reading and literacy development. Rep. Marjorie Decker (D-Cambridge), the sponsor of the amendment, did not off er any arguments in favor of her amendment during debate on the House fl oor. She also did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her why she sponsored the amendment. “I opposed this amendment because it would hand groups such as the Massachusetts Teachers Association and American Federation of Teachers an outsized role in determining how schools staff their literacy and reading workforce,” said Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “These groups were opposed to this bill in its entirety; thus, it would be counterproductive to have them play such a prominent role in producing those recommendations.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes SCHOOL DISTRICTS MUST REPORT ANNUALLY (H 4672) House 133-22, approved an amendment requiring that each school district report annually to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education the number of reading specialists, reading interventionists, literacy coordinators, school librarians, library aides, education support professionals and other staff employed by the district that directly support student reading and literacy development. Rep. Marjorie Decker (D-Cambridge), the sponsor of the amendment again did not off er any arguments in favor of her amendment during debate on the House fl oor. She also did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her why she sponsored the amendment. “I opposed this amendment because it imposes an unfunded reporting mandate on school districts at a time when cities and towns are facing increased fi nancial constraints,” said Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “Also, there are already extensive reporting requirements included in the underlying bill, so this would only add to that burden.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AND SNAP AND OTHER BENEFITS AND PROGRAMS – The Senate approved two separate measures urging action from the state and federal government to provide funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) - the federal food security program that provides food to more than 40 million United States residents, including 1 million residents of Massachusetts.

All interested parties may attend and opinions will be heard regarding the following petition. Whereas a petition has been presented by: Property Address: Property Owner: Applicant: 219 Main Street E0-01-000076 Main and Linden LLC 6 Cider Mill Rd. Mr. Nick Landry 546 E. Broadway Boston, MA 02127 Description of Property and Proposal The subject property is located in the Business District, contains approximately 13,872 square feet of area, and is improved with a 5-unit residential structure. The applicant proposes to construct a second structure containing an additional 14 dwelling units and one commercial unit on the first floor. Reason for Denial: 1. Multiple Residential Buildings on a Lot: Section 3.M of the Zoning Ordinance prohibits multiple buildings on a lot occupied for residential purposes. A variance is required from the Zoning Board of Appeals. 2. Height: The applicant proposes to construct a new six-story structure. Section 6.B.3 of the Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum of four stories. A variance is required from the Zoning Board of Appeals 3. Side Setback: The subject property abuts land in a Dwelling District. Therefore, Section 6.B.5 of the Zoning Ordinance requires side setbacks of 7 feet. According to plans submitted by the applicant, the building foundation and primary wall will be 7 feet from the side (southerly) property line. However, proposed upper floor balconies will project closer than 7 feet from the property line. A variance is therefore required from the ZBA from the requirements of Section 6.B.5, which states “There shall be no projections allowed within the required side yards.” 4. Parking: The applicant must comply with the Transportation Demand Management requirements of Section 35 of the Zoning Ordinance. Rebecca Edmondson - Chairman Roberta Suppa - Clerk of Board of Appeals October 31, November 7, 2025 niors, children and individuals living with disabilities.” They noted that “more than 5,500 retailers in the state participate in SNAP, with purchases accounting for up to 20 percent of all grocery spending in some stores” and argued that “an interruption in benefits would destabilize local grocers, undermine jobs and cause cascading harm to farmers, fishers and food producers.” The House sent a letter to U.S. Sens. Ed Markey and Liz Warren urging them to work with their colleagues in the Senate to resolve the continuing impasse as quickly as possible. “As members of the Massachusetts Legislature, we are writing to express our deep concerns about the ongoing federal government shutdown’s detrimental impact on individuals and families,” reads the letter. “The consequences of the federal government shutdown are already having a far-reaching adverse impact on our constituents and their daily lives, but the problem is only going to get worse the longer this shutdown continues. Workers, including air traffic controllers and other essential employees, are going without pay or being furloughed. with about 25,000 federal employees in Massachusetts being impacted, among them members of our military. Small businesses that depend on government operations are also struggling, and our local economies are being placed under increasing strain.” The letter continues, “Because of the shutdown, people who depend on having a strong safety net in place are now bracing for the imminent disruption of vital federally funded food and nutrition programs, including SNAP and the Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Nutrition Program. In addition, more than 10,000 Massachusetts children are facing cuts in Head Start services, which are critical to promoting school readiness for preschoolers under the age of 5. The letter concludes, “The ongoing stalemate at the federal level is untenable and is creating significant hardships and uncertainty for many Americans. We cannot allow this situation to continue indefinitely without a resolution because far too many people are being hurt by Congress’ inaction. While both parties may disagree on certain policy priorities, maintaining the basic operations of government and protecting the people we serve should never be a partisan issue.” In the meantime, a federal judge in Boston ruled that the Trump administration must continue to fund SNAP as the government shutdown threatens food aid benefits for millions of Americans, ordering the White House to outline a plan to provide at least partial assistance starting Nov. 1. The ruling comes after a coalition of 25 states, including Massachusetts, sued to compel the administration to release the contingency funds for SNAP. Judge Indira Talwani of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts said the administration’s suspension of benefits “is contrary to law,” noting that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is statutorily required to use previously appropriated SNAP contingency funds when necessary and has discretion to use other available funds. “Today’s court rulings affirm what we have known all along: the federal government must follow the law,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “It has both the responsibility and the means to ensure that no person in our great country goes hungry.” She urged the federal government to comply with the law and provide this essential funding. VETERANS DISABILITY LICENSE PLATE (H 3657) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would amend the eligibility for disabled veterans to receive a veteran’s plate, without a charge, to include veterans who suffer from a mental disability by reason of service in the armed forces. “I filed this bill on behalf of a constituent who came to my office with a concern about the current policy on getting a Veterans Disability plate in Massachusetts,” said sponsor Rep. Rodney Elliott (D-Lowell). “They are a 100 percent disabled veteran with PTSD, and unable to obtain a plate under the current Registry of Motor Vehicles regulations, as they are not physically handicapped. Our veterans with mental health disorders face daily battles that are not always apparent to the outside world. By providing disability license plates tailored to their needs, we can offer a visible symbol of recognition and support, acknowledging the profound impact of their service. This simple yet powerful gesture can serve as a reminder to all that our veterans, regardless of their wounds, deserve our utmost respect and understanding.” PEER-TO-PEER CARD GAMES AND DOMINOES (H 3177) – The Revenue Committee held a hearing on a proposal that would create a new regulatory structure for and legalize peer-to-peer cardrooms in which people play against each rather than the house. The measure would allow licensed “pari-mutuel” facilities, like horse racing tracks, to operate cardrooms featuring poker and dominoes. The regulatory authority would be the Massachusetts Gaming Commission’s Division of Racing, which would oversee licensing, operations and taxation. Players would use chips instead of cash, with games limited to between two and nine players and dealers must be non-participating. The bill would impose a 10 percent tax on gross receipts and a 15 percent admission tax, if a separate entry fee is charged. Revenues would be split between the Gaming Local Aid Fund (80 percent) and the Racehorse Development Fund (20 percent). The cardroom operator can charge a participation fee or “rake” but cannot have a direct economic interest in game outcomes. Cardroom operators must pay a license fee of $1000 per table. There are occupational licenses for employees and managers, and background checks and fingerprinting would be required. “I elected to file this bill to start the conversation about the creation of peer-to-peer BEACON | SEE PAGE 27 ׉ 7cassandra://lHmm7dZ5IvFlJR46S2xT25HoyglITvnK1EDOLHpnrnI/m`i &,k׉E!THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 7, 2025 Page 27 BEACON | FROM PAGE 26 cardrooms in the commonwealth for games such as poker and dominoes, where players can play against each other instead of a casino,” said sponsor Rep. Adrian Madaro (D-East Boston). “We understand that this industry has the potential to create hundreds of jobs in the commonwealth, as well as to preserve declining jobs at Suffolk Downs, where East Boston residents continue to be employed. These facilities will also generate much-needed tax revenue at a time of increasing uncertainty over continued federal funding.” PROHIBIT PUBLISHING OF NAMES OF VETERANS WHO OWE TAXES (H 3869) – A bill heard by the Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee would prohibit cities and towns from publishing the name of a veteran who owes the municipality taxes. Instead, the Veterans’ Service officer (VSO) of the city or town would contact the veteran privately and provide him or her with information regarding their overdue tax situation. Many cities and towns currently publish the names of their taxpayers, including veterans, who owe the municipality back taxes. “[The bill] is a deserving gesture of gratitude to the men and women who have worn the uniform of our country and aims to protect veterans’ privacy and uphold their dignity by preventing the public release of their personal information related to taxes,” said its sponsor Rep. Paul McMurtry (D-Dedham). “It ensures that any tax notifications are handled privately and respectfully through a local VSO.” McMurtry continued, “[The bill] gives our veterans the respect they deserve when they find themselves facing financial hardship regarding property taxes. We can avoid any public embarrassment and take a more hands-on approach through personal interaction with the VSO for assistance with their tax situation.” EXPAND HEALTH INSURANCE ACCESS FOR STATE EMPLOYEES (S 822) – A bill before the Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee would allow a state employer to offer their employees health insurance on day one of their new job. Currently, there is a gap in insurance coverage when new state employees begin their jobs. “New state employees should not have to choose between paying high health care costs out of pocket or foregoing necessary care altogether,” said sponsor Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham). “By empowering state employers to offer employees health insurance on day one, we can better attract quality candidates and ensure new workers have the benefits and coverage they deserve.” ENSURE GENDER PARITY AND ETHNIC DIVERSITY ON PUBLIC BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS (S 2160/H 3398) – The Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight held a hearing on a bill that would require state boards and commissions to have, or explain why they do not have, a minimum percentage of members who are female, LGBTQ+ or an underrepresented minority. The percentages would change over time to match census data to reflect the population of Massachusetts. Appointing authorities would be required to work to appoint diverse members, including developing and implementing plans to attract and recruit diverse members. Each public board and commission would report annually on membership information, to measure progress, to the governor’s office which would publish it. “Increasing diversity in our state’s workforce and leadership, in both the public and private sectors, is both a moral and an economic imperative for our commonwealth,” said Senate sponsor Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester). “In Massachusetts we have several hundred public boards and commissions, each with a wide range of responsibilities and powers. Much progress has already been made to represent the diversity of Massachusetts, but more work still needs to be done to increase diversity in our state’s leadership.” “This bill is about expanding opportunity and making sure we are drawing from the full range of talent and experience across our commonwealth,” said Rep. Tram Nguyen (D-Andover), the sponsor of the House bill. “When our public boards and commissions reflect the diversity of the people they serve, everyone benefits. We are not lowering standards — we are raising them by ensuring our decision-making includes the voices and perspectives that have too often been left out.” CREATE COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF PEOPLE WHO PRACTICE ISLAM (H 3351) – Another bill before the Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight would create an 11-member permanent Commission on the Status of People who practice Islam. The commission would be a resource to the state on issues affecting American Muslim communities including promoting research and serving as a clearinghouse and source of information on issues pertaining to American Muslims; informing the public and leaders of business, education, human services, health care, state and local governments and the communications media of the unique cultural, social, ethnic, economic and educational issues affecting American Muslims; serving as a liaison between government and private interest groups on matters of unique interest and concern to American Muslims; and identify and recommend qualified American Muslims for appointive positions at all levels of government, including boards and commissions. “Freedom of religion is one of our most fundamental constitutional rights, and no one should face persecution for their beliefs,” said sponsor Rep. Vanna Howard (D-Lowell). “This legislation was filed to address and elevate the serious issues currently affecting the over 131,000 members of our commonwealth’s Muslim community”. QUOTABLE QUOTES “Massachusetts’ innovation economy is the foundation of our competitiveness. It fuels discovery, drives growth and sustains good jobs in every region of the state. Through the DRIVE Initiative, we are taking action to protect our leadership in science and technology and support the institutions and workers that make it possible and ensure that Massachusetts continues to lead the nation in solving the world’s hardest problems.” ---Economic Development Secretary Eric Paley on Gov. Healey’s DRIVE Initiative, designed to grow Massachusetts’ renowned research and innovation economy and create thousands of new jobs. “The contrast is becoming impossible to ignore and Massachusetts cannot afford to continue to bury its head in the sand on this. Ranking so close to the very bottom should alarm every lawmaker and every taxpayer. Our highcost tax system is driving out talent, capital and opportunity, and New Hampshire’s top tier ranking proves that better policy is possible right next door. We are falling behind not by chance, but by poor policy choices.” --- Paul Craney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, on the Tax Foundation’s newly-released “2025 State Tax Competitiveness Index.” in which the Bay State ranks just 43rd in the nation, while neighboring New Hampshire jumped in rank to come in at number 3. “These rankings confirm what Massachusetts residents and employers already know: our tax burden is too high, making it increasingly difficult for people and businesses to thrive here. Turning this around will require successful, coordinated efforts by private-sector leaders and policymakers to advance meaningful reforms that strengthen the state’s competitiveness.

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 SenADDRESS 59 Clinton St CITY Everett ate 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 October 27-31, the House met for a total of seven hours and fi ve minutes and the Senate met for a total of four hours and nine minutes.
