The City Council’s vote went against the recommendation from the Election Commission to cancel the Primary, as the election would cost the city $50,000. The Commission also estimated that the voter turnout would be no greater than 2,200. The Primary would only eliminate one candidate from the at-large races for School Committee and City Council, as there are no more than two candidates in any of the 12 ward races.

McGonagle helps secure more than $83 million for Everett S tate Representative Joseph McGonagle along with his colleagues in the Massachusetts Legislature recently announced that they passed its Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) budget, which invests in programs and services across the Commonwealth.

Working collaboratively with State Senator Sal DiDomenico, McGonagle is proud to report that the City of Everett is set to receive a total of $83,487,833. Within that figure, Everett will receive $75,001,709 in Chapter 70 local education aid – an increase mental health initiatives, homelessness prevention and music and technology activities within the Everett Public Schools. “A big thank you to Chair Joseph McGonagle State Representative of $6 million from last year.

Revere 781-629-3798 PARKING AMAZING WATER VIEWS Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) state budget into law, a $43.321 billion plan that includes the highest-ever level of state funding for Massachusetts public schools. The $5.2 billion for Chapter 70 aid to education ensures sufficient resources to fund the FY20 costs of an anticipated multiyear overhaul of the school finance formula while enabling full implementation of the recommendations of the Foundation Budget Review Commission (FBRC). “A strong economy and prudent fiscal management have allowed our Administration to work with the Legislature to continue building the Commonwealth’s Stabilization Fund and invest in key areas like housing, education and efforts to fight opioid misuse,” said Baker. “When we filed our budget and school finance reform proposals in January we pledged to update the formula that funds our public schools, recognizing the challenge that some school districts face in keeping up with the cost of funding a quality public school education for every child in Massachusetts. The Fiscal Year 2020 budget will allow the Commonwealth to take another step toward providing the necessary resources to continue implementing the recommendations of the Foundation Budget Review Commission, and we look forward to working with the Legislature on a bill that modernizes the Chapter 70 school finance formula and provides new tools and resources to ensure that this significant investment leads to better outcomes for all Massachusetts children, especially those in our highest-need communities. This budget also makes law the product of a bipartisan compromise to create a program to control the rising costs of prescription drug prices, saving taxpayers millions.” “Since taking office, our Administration has been focused on building strong partnerships with Massachusetts cities and towns, from funding for public schools and public safety needs to local economic development programs and housing assistance,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. “This fiscally responsible budget continues that commitment, while addressing the Commonwealth’s most pressing needs including care for vulnerable children and assistance for our seniors.” The budget builds on the Administration’s previous investments to implement FBRC’s recommendations, and it includes significant new funding for school districts to meet the cost of educating low-income students, English Language Learners (ELL) and students with special needs, as well as to address the rising cost of health care. In addition to $5.2 billion in Chapter 70 aid – an increase of $268 million over Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) – the budget includes $115 million for charter school reimbursements for local school districts, a significant $25 million increase to support an updated formula to reimburse districts for charter school tuition increases, including an increase in the facilities stipend for charter schools. The historic investment in public education is made possible because of continuing responsible management of the Commonwealth’s finances. Since 2015 the Baker-Polito Administration has focused on returning structural balance to the state budget, working with the Legislature to keep spending in line with revenue growth and rebuild the Commonwealth’s reserves while investing in critical areas of the budget, including education, housing, transportation, efforts to fight opioid misuse, the care of vulnerable children and support for cities and towns. The implementation of reforms and efficiencies within the MassHealth program has provided flexibility throughout the rest of the budget, while continuing to protect access to health care. The budget includes a landmark new drug-pricing measure that authorizes the Executive Office of Health and Human Services to directly and more effectively negotiate with drug manufacturers and, if necessary, engage in a public process to identify a proposed value for certain high-cost drugs if negotiations are unsuccessful. This reform is consistent with the Administration’s continuing efforts to manage the growth of MassHealth spending. MassHealth pharmacy spending has nearly doubled since 2012, even while the program has successfully implemented policies to rein in spending growth from historical double-digits to single digits and to ensure MassHealth sustainability. Despite this work, growth in pharmacy spending continued to outpace all other MassHealth spending. “Along with the House and Senate, the Baker-Polito Administration has employed fiscal discipline to restore structural balance to the budget, eliminate the use of non-recurring revenue, restrain growth in MassHealth spending, and build the balance in the Stabilization BUDGET | SEE PAGE 10 ANGELO’S FULL "Over 40 Years of Excellence!" 1978-2019 Regular Unleaded $2.559 Mid Unleaded $2.799 Super $2.859 Diesel Fuel $2.839 KERO $4.759 Diesel $2.559 SERVICE HEATING OIL 24-Hour Burner Service Call for Current Price!

Heffernan. “These efforts continue to pay off, and along with a strong Massachusetts economy are now enabling major investments in priority areas, including education and transportation.” The FY20 budget represents an approximately 3.3% increase in spending over estimated spending in FY19. The total $43.321 billion in spending excludes certain trust fund transfers. The budget includes $1.1 billion in unrestricted local aid for cities and towns, up $183 million since FY15. The Administration also announced that the transfer of certain FY19 capital gains taxes to the Stabilization Fund has brought the current balance of the fund to $2.8 billion, the highest balance ever. The FY20 budget anticipates a further $476 million net increase in the Stabilization Fund – estimated J& • Reliable Mowing Service • Spring & Fall Cleanups • Mulch & Edging • Sod or Seed Lawns • Shrub Planting & Trimming • Water & Sewer Repairs Joe Pierotti, Jr. Award-Winning Landscaping Servicing the North Shore for over 38 Years to bring the balance to nearly $3.3 billion by the end of FY20 – triple the balance of when the Administration took office and representing more than 10% of tax revenue, an important protection against any future disruption in the economy. The budget plan also supports a further drop in the Part B income tax rate to 5% on January 1, 2020, the third income tax reduction since the start of the Administration, returning approximately $90 million to taxpayers in FY20.

This growth rate assumes continued economic growth offset by declines in corporate taxes as well as capital gains taxes. Both these categories are historically volatile and experienced extraordinarily high collections in FY19, and the FY20 budget prudently assumes these collections will not repeat. The FY20 budget also includes a change that will significantly reduce health-care costs for thousands of low-income seniors. Included in the Administration’s House 1 budget proposal in January, the change will expand the income eligibility for the Medicare Savings Program to provide assistance to approximately 40,000 low-income seniors. A state investment of $7 million annually ($4 million in FY20) is expected to leverage more than $100 million in Medicare prescription drug subsidies accruing directly to older consumers. The budget also fulfills the Administration’s promise to end the temporary, enhanced Employer Medical Assistance Contribution (EMAC) at the end of calendar year 2019. The budget builds on the Commonwealth’s progress in addressing the opioid epidemic by increasing investments in substance misuse– prevention and treatment to a total of $246 million across several state agencies. Since FY15 the Administration has doubled the Commonwealth’s investment in substance misuse programs and services. Also included is the Administration’s proposal to require online marketplace facilitators to collect and remit tax on sales to Massachusetts customers on behalf of vendors who sell products on their online marketplace platforms, streamlining the revenue collection process and leveling the playing field for Massachusetts “Main Street” retailers. The budget supports a total of $20.3 million to implement the recommendations of the Administration’s Black Advisory Commission and Latino Advisory Commission, including funding to develop and expand college and career pathways for high school students through the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Pipeline and Early College programs, to expand targeted workforce development programs for Black and Latino youths and to improve and expand English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) programs. It also includes a significant increase in support for Massachusetts residents who need housing or shelter, including $179 million in emergency assistance funding to provide shelter to homeless families, $110 million for the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP), $72 million for Local Housing Authorities (LHAs) and $4 million to increase the number of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)–accessible units within the homeless shelter system. As part of the budget-signing, Baker signed 99 outside sections and returned nine to the Legislature with proposed amendments.

Ward 5 Councillor Rosa DiFlorio said it was a difficult decision. “Sometimes you’re torn between votes: You want to save taxpayers money, but you also want to be fair to the candidates,” she said. “We have to follow the process and keep the Primary.” Councillor-at-Large Peter Napolitano said he is “on the fence.” He also dispelled the notion that the city is flush with money from Encore Boston Harbor. “That money hasn’t come in yet,” said Napolitano. “The city is not fat on cash; it’s getting more expensive to conduct these elections; we’ve been struggling for the past two years.” Ward 1 Councillor Fred Capone said although he is usually thrifty, Everett’s voting population deserves a Primary regardless of cost. “Voting is at the very heart of our democracy,” he said. Ward 6 Councillor Michael McLaughlin said he is concerned about there being a conflict of interest in voting on the matter, as all the councillors are up for reelection. “I don’t want to see any of my colleagues get blindsided in the future,” he said.

Charlie Baker the conference committee compromise version of a $43.1 billion fiscal 2020 state budget. Baker has ten days to sign the budget and to veto sections of it. It would then take a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate to override any vetoes. The conference committee version was hammered out after the House and Senate each approved different budgets. The package raises spending by $1.6 billion, or 4 percent over fiscal 2019. “The strategic investments that are made in this budget reflect the shared priorities of the Legislature,” said House Ways and Means Committee Chair Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston). “By incorporating the input from our colleagues, this document has been made stronger. I am proud that key services in the areas of education, housing, homelessness and the environment will see significant funding increases in this budget.” “This consensus fiscal year 2020 budget strikes a balance between maintaining fiscal responsibility and making targeted investments that benefit our commonwealth’s economic well-being,” said Senate Ways and Means Chair Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport). “I was the sole vote against the acceptance of the conference committee report because I was concerned the report’s language on offshore wind procurement left key terms undefined,” said Sen. Mark Pacheco (D-Taunton). “I brought my concerns to the Senate floor and I hope the administration was listening. The conference committee report also did not contain language for the re-authorization of simulcasting, which will end at the close of business on July 31st. Despite my concerns about the conference committee report, however, I was proud to vote along with my colleagues unanimously in favor of enacting the budget because the citizens of Massachusetts depend on the resources it provides for public education, local aid, and countless other vital functions and services.” Beacon Hill Roll Call notes that there actually was not a roll call that was unanimous on the enactment (final approval) of the budget. Enactment was approved by a voice vote. (A “Yes” vote is for the budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes AMENDMENT TO ALLOWING UNIONS TO CHARGE NON-UNION MEMBERS FOR SOME COSTS (S 2273) House 29-128, Senate 5-34, rejected Gov. Charlie Baker’s amendments to a House and Senate-passed bill that would allow public sector unions to charge non-members for the cost of some services and representation. The bill was filed as a response to the Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that public employees cannot be forced to pay fees or dues to a union to which he or she does not belong. Freedom of speech advocates hailed the decision while labor advocates said it was an unjust attack on unions. In his message to the Legislature, Baker said his amendments would protect the privacy rights of public employees and correct statutory inconsistencies. “Although a portion of this bill addresses issues raised in the Janus decision … other provisions in the bill go beyond what the Janus decision required,” said Baker in a message to the Legislature. “These provisions would jeopardize the privacy rights of public employees and prevent the commonwealth and public sector unions from negotiating certain terms and conditions of employment.” “The House and Senate engaged in a serious debate regarding the substance of the governor’s amendments, and ultimately decided on a bipartisan basis to overwhelmingly support language which did not include them,” said Rep. Paul Brodeur (D-Melrose). “Ensuring that we do everything we can in Massachusetts to protect workers’ rights continues to be a top priority. I’m eager to have these worker protections become law.“ “The governor tried to strike a balance,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance which was in favor of the amendments. “House and Senate leaders unfortunately didn’t want to cooperate with those who raised serious privacy concerns. We are hopeful the governor will veto the legislation, it’s the only appropriate response at this point.” (A “Yes” vote is for Baker’s amendments. A “No” vote is against them.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No Sen. Sal DiDomenico No $1.3 BILLION FOR GREENWORKS (H 3987) House 158-0, approved and sent to the Senate the GreenWorks Bill which invests $1.3 billion in resiliency, clean energy and energy efficiency to shrink the state’s carbon footprint. The proposal establishes a $1 billion grant program for cities and towns to fund clean energy, energy efficiency and climate change measures that cut greenhouse gas emissions, fortify infrastructure and reduce municipal costs. “The GreenWorks program is going to support economic development opportunities throughout Massachusetts by helping our cities and towns adopt Massachusetts-made clean energy technology and provide jobs through green infrastructure projects,” said Rep. Smitty Pignatelli (D-Lenox), House chair of the Committee on the Environment, Natural Resources, and Agriculture. “[The bill] will help the Berkshires and our entire commonwealth save money and leave more resources for other priorities such as schools, first responders, roads and bridges.” "GreenWorks was meant to be, and is, broad and very flexible,” said Rep. Tom Golden (D-Lowell), chairman of the Committee on Telecommunication, Utilities and Energy and the bill's chief sponsor “It is to allow each community to identify their problems and use GreenWorks dollars to solve their issues and their problems. "They care about their taxes, they care about their roads, they care about many things," said Rep. Ted Speliotis (D-Danvers) during the debate. "But when you ask them or when I'm asked in my district or here what are people talking about, they're talking about the changes in our climate and the effects — and all in the negative, In the last month we have been barraged to a point like never in our lifetime — people fearful of going to the beaches, people fearful of their summer homes, they're fearful of their own property — and each and every year we spend more time recouping from the damages." (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes BAN CHILD MARRIAGE (S 2294) Senate 39-0 approved and sent to the House a bill that would ban the marriage of anyone under the age of 18. Current law allows minors to get married if they have parental consent. "It's a good day in Massachusetts,” said Fraidy Reiss, Founder and Executive Director of Unchained At Last–the group behind the ban. The Legislature just moved one step closer to eliminating a human rights abuse that destroys girls' lives." During the debate, the bill’s sponsor Sen. Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester) said that the Legislature has the power to stop child marriages in the Bay State. She noted that Delaware and New Jersey passed similar legislation last year, making them the first states in the nation to completely ban child marriage. She noted that means that Massachusetts still has the chance to be on the forefront of justice. “Unfortunately, 1,231 underage youth were married in Massachusetts between the years 2000 and 2016,” said the bill’s sponsor Sen. Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester). “This is a problem, because young people who marry under the age of eighteen are not afforded the tools to protect themselves or to remove themselves from an abusive relationship or a forced marriage. (A Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes MUST UPDATE DATABASE OF MEDICAL PROVIDERS (S 2295) Senate 39-0 approved and sent to the House legislation designed to make it easier for patients to access health care, both behavioral and physical, by requiring health insurance companies to do monthly updates of their provider databases which tell patients which doctors and other medical resources are available to them. "Many families and individuals seeking health care are unable to find a provider that meets their needs because of outdated and unclear provider directories," said Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester), the sponsor of the proposal. "Accurate provider directories are critical to improving access to timely and appropriate care to reduce disparities, to improve health outcomes and to decrease unnecessary utilization of emergency and inpatient care. We are proud that the Senate took this important step forward today." (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes HOW LONG 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 filed. 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 July 22-16, the House met for a total of seven hours and 25 minutes while the Senate met for a total of eight hours and 21 minutes. Mon.

AARP is way too liberal for my liking. Discount Seeking Conservative Dear Conservative, There are actually quite a few senior advocacy organizations out there promoting themselves as conservative alternatives to AARP, and many of them offer membership benefit too. Here’s what you should know. Anti-AARP While AARP, with a membership of around 38 million, is by far the biggest and most powerful advocacy group for people age 50 and older, there are millions of older Americans that don’t like or agree with their stance on various issues. Many believe AARP leans too far to the left despite its stated nonpartisan nature. For seniors that disagree with AARP, there are other conservative leaning groups that you can join that may better represent your views. And, many of them offer their members discounts on things like travel, insurance, healthcare and more. Here are several to check into. 60 Plus: American Association of Senior Citizens (60plus.org): Established in 1992, this nonprofit group was founded to lobby for issues it holds dear, namely free enterprise, fewer taxes and less Government. Their main priority is to end the federal estate tax and preserve social security. Membership fees run $12, $24 or $48 per year, or $299 for a lifetime membership. They also offer a bevy of discounts on travel and entertainment, cable, Internet and satellite services, dental, vision and hearing packages, roadside assistance and more. American Seniors Association (AmericanSeniors.org): Founded in 2005 for people age 50 and older, this conservative organization is built on five foundations, which includes rebuilding national values, Social Security reform, Medicare reform, tax code reform and control of government overspending. Fees to join run $15 for one year, $25 for two or $35 for three years, and members receive access to a variety of benefit on travel, home and auto insurance, security services, health and wellness (medical, dental, vision and hearing) and more. Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC.us): With more than one million members, this organization was started in 2007 for people 50 and older. Their mission is to help seniors fight high taxes, reduce excessive government involvement in our day-today lives, and preserve American values. They also offer a host of benefits on home, health and auto insurance, travel, vision and dental care, prescription drugs, retail savings, roadside assistance and more. Membership fees run $16 per year, or less if you join for multiple years. The Seniors Coalition (Senior.org): Founded in 1990, this conservative public advocacy group claims to have around four million supporters. Their key issues are to protect Social Security benefits, stop Social Security payments to illegal aliens from Mexico, eliminate the death tax, and reform the Social Security COLA system. TSC offers very few membership benefits. Annual fees run $10 for one person per, or $13 per couple and you can join at any age. Some other senior membership organizations to consider that offer discounts include the non-for-profit American Senior Benefits Association (ASBAonline.org), and the conservative leaning National Association of Conservative Seniors (NAOCS.us), and Christian Seniors Association (CSAbenefits.site-ym.com).

LeFave 67, of Gilford, NH and formerly of Everett, died in the comfort and familiarity of his own home Saturday, July 27, 2019, following a brief illness. He was surrounded by loving family. Daniel was born in Everett on June 3, 1952 to Daniel L. and Dorothy (O'Neil) LeFave. He attended Everett High School where he met his high school sweetheart, Gail D'Andrea. The two were married in 1975 and they shared 50 wonderful years together. They lived much of their life in Peabody until moving to NH in 2015. Daniel was a proud veteran, serving his country with the US Army. Though he held many different jobs throughout his life, he is remembered by many as the former owner of PEPCO in Middleton. Daniel was a loving husband and devoted friend to many. He possessed a wonderful sense of humor that many would describe as dry, sarcastic, and curmudgeonly, and he was overheard cracking jokes at his hospice nurse's expense into his final days. Of the many roles Daniel played in life, his favorite above all others was that of family man. He was proud of his strong and enduring marriage and the beautiful daughter it produced, and he cherished every moment he was able to spend with his grandson. Daniel is survived by his mother, Dorothy LeFave; his adoring wife, Gail LeFave; and his daughter, Meredith and her partner, Rich. He was a doting grandfather to Erik; brother to Dorothy O'Hagan and her husband Joe, Doreen Ellis and her husband Peter, and Donna Arsenault and her late husband Ed; and brother-in-law to Linda and Stephen O'Leary, and Robyn and Mark Bishop. He also leaves behind several nieces, nephews, extended family members, and many dear friends.

The legislation, sponsored by State Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville) as well as State Reps. Linda Dean Campbell (D-Methuen) Denise Provost (D-Somerville), received a favorable vote on Wednesday from the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture; the first threshold the bill must pass to become law. The bill’s advancement this early in the two-year legislative session is an indicator of strong interest among lawmakers and Committee leadership. The bill, H.3976, would require sewage system operators to issue a public advisory within two hours of a sewage discharge and every eight hours thereafter until the discharge has ended. A final advisory would be required within two hours of the conclusion of the discharge. The advisories would be made available online; sent via email or text message to subscribed members of the public; submitted to the two largest local news organizations; and distributed to local boards of health, municipal officials, the state Department of Public Health, and the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Sewage discharges often occur during heavy storms in communities whose wastewater and storm water drainage systems are combined. When storm water floods the system, overflow channels carry excess rain and sewage directly into nearby waterways. The resulting discharges, known as combined sewer overflows or CSOs, carry harmful pathogens such as fecal coliform and bacteria that can cause dysentery, hepatitis, and other gastrointestinal diseases. CSOs also cause algae blooms, which can be toxic to people and deprive water bodies of oxygen, killing fish and other marine life. For residents who use the river for boating and swimming, the risk of exposure is particularly high. “I’m happy to see more and more people kayaking, paddle boarding, and canoeing on the Mystic, even jumping in,” Jehlen. “We need to know when there’s been a CSO discharge, to avoid getting sick from exposure to raw sewage. That’s why it’s important to pass this bill.” Massachusetts currently discharges the most sewage of any state in New England. In 2018, outfalls along the state’s major rivers and waterbodies discharged an estimated 3.4 billion gallons of sewage. According to DEP, five sewage treatment systems along the 117-mile Merrimack River reported hundreds of discharges totaling more than 800 million gallons of sewage. As climate change increases the frequency of severe storms, these figures may climb in coming years. “This legislation is the first step, and an important one, in the process of eliminating CSOs,” said Campbell. “State government has a responsibility to ensure residents are notified in a timely manner of sewage discharges so that they can avoid serious health repercussions. It is encouraging that sewage system operators are proactively supporting notification and are committed to public notification. It is also encouraging that Congresswoman Lori Trahan has made infrastructure upgrades to our systems a priority, with the aim of discharge prevention. Notification will bring needed attention to this issue as we move incrementally towards upgrading infrastructure.” Under existing state law, publicly regulated sewage treatment systems are required to notify DEP immediately after a sewage discharge and no later than 24 hours. Exactly who is notified after that varies depending on state and federal permits, but residents and local public officials very rarely make the notification list. In addition to requiring public advisories, the legislation directs sewage system operators to work with DEP to install metering equipment to detect and measure discharges. Operators would also need to install signage at overflow locations and public access points to waterways, such as boat ramps and swimming areas, to inform the public of the health risks of CSOs and to provide instructions on how to subscribe for the public advisories. “A few weeks after my election to the House in 2006, constituents took me on a tour of sewage outfalls in Alewife Brook and the Mystic River,” said Provost. “A couple of months later, a student visiting my office told me that when rowing for the Somerville High School Crew Team, he sometimes saw what he thought was human waste floating in the river, and wanted to know if that was possible. When I told him that it was, he wanted to know what I was going to do about it. I've always remembered these experiences, and I'm grateful that the legislature seems prepared to do something to help our people avoid direct contact with raw sewage in our rivers and lakes.” Gabby Queenan, Policy Director at the Massachusetts Rivers Alliance, said the state's current notification rules are inadequate. “This problem of antiquated water infrastructure that causes these sewage overflows is an issue across the nation. However, in Massachusetts, we have fallen particularly far behind our colleagues in other states when it comes to addressing the public health issues associated with this infrastructure. In 14 other states, the public is provided a notification whenever there is a sewage spill in a public water body. But there is currently no statewide general public notification requirement for Massachusetts.” House and Senate versions of the bill are backed by more than 80 lawmakers, with strong bi-partisan support. The legislation has now been referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means, where it will undergo further analysis as it awaits a vote on the House floor.
