This renowned event will feature a weekend fi lled with art from our master sand sculptors, and family fun! This festival brings in hundreds of thousands to Revere Beach over the three-day course. FESTIVAL | SEE Page 3 ith a settlement of the eminent domain lawsuit against the City of Revere nowhere in sight, the plaintiff , CBW Lending LLC, has been back in court requesting a judge to order the City to pay the full $29.5 million that the Wonderland property was appraised for at the time it was taken as the site for the new high school. The lawsuit is not about the validity of the taking, according to the attorney representing the plaintiff , but the $29.5 million in compensation for the property, which CBW considers woefully inadequate. Attorney Peter Flynn, who represents CBW, has said $100 million is a more realistic value for Wonderland. However, the City has failed to pay even the full $29.5 million, which was the fair market value of the site determined by a real estate appraiser at the time of the taking. According to Flynn, “ Per W G.L. c. 79, upon the taking, payment of the full, appraisal-based ‘pro tanto’ amount is to be tendered to the landowner. That did not happen in this case.†What happened was that the City, without any statutory or other authority, withheld $541,166.69 of the award under the guise that CBW Lending owed the City of Revere unrelated parking license fees and/or rent. More specifically, the City withheld $53,666.69 for purportedly owed tenant parking/storage and license fees. Such withholdings or deductions are not allowed by statute or for any other reasons in this case. Flynn explained that prior to the taking CBW was challenging the City on parking issues in Suffolk Superior Court. CBW was seeking to establish its rights to use its property for parking purposes. It was the City’s position that CBW’s use of the property for parking was not authorized under the City’s zoning and municipal code. However, the City fi led no counterclaim for monetary damages WONDERLAND | SEE Page 3 ׉ Ú7cassandra://v5ilmcQ2x7KfBUqgxMKwb4-Gihqd00PJFsVf8hLEAbcÍ7-Í`ÌÔÍ×h‚[æx/ªDE¸š"×h‚[æx/ªDE¸š!Í ªÍrבC’טšÍUÍru׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://G-xmAwsOZDNbFVEqPDeSAET37bjebJcqV6WRgYPLHSQΙUÍ`Í'Íp׉ Ú7cassandra://imCbiseRR0iJy8uT5MPCAjZAr7KZgW2VN2ySAdK2UXQÍÂÍ`ÍÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://QRQagrMJSs1gFFzBb_5uf0G6vFN8gD9KoeH99WGw-nMÍ:Í`ÌÔÍ×h‚[çx/ªDE¸š7טšÍUÍUÍru׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://yaAqR5WTZmzQyNwQnM928LQMgJStGAnJw41iMlrIfyYÎbÍÍ`Í'Íp׉ Ú7cassandra://bmYswSUZ4I_KtgS7MterliMLRsQQddu626HLc_VvsBAͯ«Í`ÍÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://a8u4A7abeCN_y1SuroLXr2XJ9P3DEkB4vA9LGxF8b8EÍ2Í`ÌÔÍ×h‚[çx/ªDE¸š8‘× ×h‚[èx/ªDE¸š=ÍÍ*Í¿9×HÚ$http://Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma× × Ј׉EÚkPage 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 25, 2025 Mass.

During the holiday, the state’s 6.25 per cent sales tax is suspended for most retail items priced under $2,500. A 2018 state law, which made the sales tax holiday permanent, requires the Legislature to vote to set the dates of the holiday each year. Both branches adopted resolutions setting this year’s dates (S.2530 / H.4220), sponsored by Senator Adam Gómez (DSpringfield) and Representative Carole A. Fiola (D-Fall River). “Lowering costs for Massachusetts residents and supporting local businesses is critical for our communities in this time of economic uncertainty,†said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “I’d like to thank Senator Gómez, my colleagues in the Senate and our partners in the House for their work to set this year’s sales tax holiday.†“This year’s temporary suspension of the sales tax will bring consumers needed economic relief while boosting revenue for small businesses and retailers,†said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “I want to thank Jessica Giannino State Representative Chair Fiola and my colleagues in the House, along with our partners in the Senate, for their annual support for this economic development initiative.†“The sales tax holiday is a wonderful opportunity for our residents to get out into their communities, support local businesses, get their kids ready for school in fall or make a purchase that they’ve been putting off ,†said Senator Gómez, Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Community Development and Small Businesses. “I am glad that our leaders here in the Jeff rey Rosario Turco State Representative Legislature have been able to work and get this done again for our residents this year, and I look forward to hearing how residents are able to make the most of the tax reprieve.†“I was proud to sponsor the legislation establishing this year’s sales tax holiday that helps boost our economy and provides support and relief for our residents and small businesses,†said Representative Fiola, House Chair of the Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies. “This is an important weekend that helps bolster our economy and I applaud my colleagues in passing this legislation to provide individuals, families and businesses across the Commonwealth with some relief.†“The sales tax holiday is a win-win for working families and our small businesses,†said Representative Jessica Giannino (D-Revere). “As the cost of everyday essentials continue to rise, this weekend off ers real relief for consumers and a boost for our local economy. Whether it’s backto-school shopping or a longawaited household purchase, I encourage residents to take advantage of this opportunity to shop local and save.†“The sales tax holiday benefi ts consumers and businesses alike.

CBW has been patient in this regard after endless eff orts to resolve the issue privately,†he said. Flynn has not been shy with his opinion of those endless efforts. “The City is running this case like a grade-B romance movie,†he said, clearly frustrated by the City’s unwillingness to sit down and discuss a settlement and the extended court date for the lawsuit, which has been scheduled to start in September 2026.

The theme for this year’s event will be the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution and will feature a centerpiece sand sculpture highlighting Paul Revere’s midnight ride. In addition to the centerpiece, attendees will witness an extraordinary display of skill as 10 master sand sculptors from across the world compete for prize money. The festival will take over two years ago with City Solicitor Paul Capizzi concerning his motion to compel the City to pay the more than half a million dollars deducted from the eminent domain award for Wonderland. “... the last thing you need is a separate complaint coming at the City claiming impropriety. No matter where this case goes, we want to have the communication door wide open on all issues. Also, I need to be able to report to my clients that the City is not unnecessarily dragging its feet on a matter that should not have occurred,†wrote Flynn. Capizzi replied with a warning. “If you fi le a motion for injunctive relief against the City, whether you win or lose, it will adversely aff ect the relationship of the parties on a variety of issues in this case much more signifi cant than a holdback for parking fees. Well, that’s my two-cents worth,†he wrote. But Flynn said he has delayed fi ling a motion to force the City to pay the remainder of the award for two years, “... for the sake of not adversely aff ecting the relationship of the parties and not causing whatever much more signifi - cant disputes the City Solicitor was threatening.†But Flynn said that delay has been a fool’s errand for CBW. “It accomplished nothing more than costing the plaintiff more time and money, and there is no expectation that the City will perform without a court order,†he said. the shores of America’s fi rst public beach as we celebrate artistry, culture, and community.

Giannino. “I was proud to nominate Charlotte because for 16 years, she has been an integral part of the Revere Public Schools, working to enhance the lives of our students.†“Charlotte’s contributions to our school community in West Revere are immeasurable. For almost two decades, Charlotte made sure that every family got the most out of their public-school experience in Revere, including my own two children. We thank her for her service as a leader amongst parents, and I’m proud to call her a friend,†said Mayor Keefe. “I am deeply honored and humbled to receive such a special award. Witnessing the joy on the children’s faces at our events has made all our efforts worthwhile, and this award serves as a wonderful acknowledgement,†said Charlotte Osgood. Charlotte Osgood has displayed exceptional dedication to the A.C. Whelan Elementary School community. For nearly 16 years, she has been a driving force behind numerous events that have enriched the lives of students, parents and staff alike. From organizing the Book Fair, Field Day and Winter Wonderland to serving in various leadership roles in the PTA, Charlotte has worked tirelessly to ensure that the school experience is memorable for all. As a mother of four, Charlotte has balanced family life with her deep commitment to the community. Her involvement began when her eldest son, Chris, entered kindergarten, and she quickly became an essential part of the school’s activities. Her leadership as PTA Secretary, CoPresident and Vice President have been invaluable, especially when she single-handedly managed the PTA during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Charlotte’s hands-on approach as a substitute teacher and her role in the Susan B. Anthony Middle School PTO further demonstrate her unwavering support for education. Charlotte’s selfl essness and positive attitude have left a lasting impact on both school communities. Her eff orts have created cherished memories for countless students, from the excitement of the Book Fair to the joy of the Fall Bash. Her kindness, work ethic and unwavering support have made her the heart and soul of the school community. Her legacy of bringing people together and enriching students’ lives is truly deserving of this recognition. Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

While landfi ll space in Massachusetts is rapidly fi lling up, food waste decomposing in landfi lls produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. And according to EPA data, landfi lls are one of the largest sources of methane emissions in the Bay State. MassDEP estimates that food waste accounts for more than 25 percent of the waste stream after recycling, or over one million tons per year. “We ask the State to put in place concrete plans, funding and technical assistance to increase composting infrastructure, working in partnership with communities like ours to divert food waste and minimize the climate impact of discarded food. An expansion of sustainable waste management practices will benefi t our residents and our economy. Communities like ours are ready to partner with the state to expand composting in MA,†states the letter. The 51 signers represent the following 17 communities: Everett, Malden, Revere, Saugus, Agawam, Greenfi eld, New Bedford, Worcester, Boston, Lawrence, Newton, Somerville, Chelsea, Lynn, Northampton, Taunton and Waltham. “Municipalities across the state are leading by building waste diversion programs that address the climate crisis effects of landfi lling food waste. We need the resources to build out these programs into comprehensive municipal services that make it easier and aff ordable for working class communities and their residents to partake in reducing methane emissions and meeting out the Commonwealth’s emissions goals,†said Revere Councillorat-Large Juan Pablo Jaramillo. “Methane poses signifi cant health and environmental risks and is the second largest contributor to climate change which disproportionately affects our most vulnerable communities,†said Clean Water Action Zero Waste Organizer Amber Schmidt, who helped coordinate the letter. “Diverting organic waste from landfi lls will prevent the unnecessary release of methane while providing numerous benefi ts such as compost for healthy soil and new green jobs.†Massachusetts currently generates over six million tons of waste per year, with a growing percentage exported to other states. In 2024, Clean Water Action and MASSPIRG launched a campaign called Plate to Planet with a goal of reducing food waste and diverting all organics from disposal. To reach the goals in its 2030 Solid Waste Master Plan, the state must more than double its rate of food diversion from landfi lls and incinerators. Since the organization’s founding during the campaign to pass the landmark Clean Water Act in 1972, Clean Water Action has worked to win strong health and environmental protections by bringing issue expertise, solution-oriented thinking, and people power to the table.

As you well know, the state’s landfi lls are fi lling up. In 2022, Massachusetts collectively exported 2,590,000 tons of waste, an increase of 20,000 tons from 2021 to 2022. Exported waste is costly, often being sent to other states as far away as Alabama. Massachusetts exports wood, brick, asphalt and other debris, much of which is banned from our landfi lls. That waste accounted for almost a third of what’s buried in Maine’s state landfi ll. Every year, Bay Staters throw away 6 million tons of garbage. Nearly 25% of that garbage is food. Some of this food is likely to be edible while other food waste is better handled via composting. Meanwhile, a recent U.S. Census survey found that 21.9 percent of Massachusetts households with children do not have access to suffi cient or quality food, despite the abundance produced. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and while landfi lls such as Chicopee, Crapo Hill, Fitchburg-Westminster, Granby, Plainville, Quarry Hills, Southbridge, and Taunton collect landfi ll gas and use it as an energy source, according to EPA data, landfi lls are one of the largest sources of methane emissions in our state. The environmental and health implications of methane emissions are well-documented, contributing to climate change which disproportionately aff ects our most vulnerable communities. These impacts align closely with our shared commitment to environmental justice, ensuring that all Massachusetts residents have the right to a clean and healthy environment. We urge you to take executive action to spur the diversion of organic waste from landfi lls. By implementing and supporting policies that encourage composting and other organic waste processing methods, we can significantly reduce methane emissions and slow the rate at which landfi lls are fi lling. The benefi ts of such actions extend far beyond environmental protection. Food diversion and composting programs should be considered an environmental justice priority to reduce pollution in vulnerable and over-burdened communities. Diverting organic waste from landfi lls can also unlock numerous benefi cial products, such as compost, which enriches our soil and supports local agriculture. Moreover, this shift can stimulate economic growth by creating new green jobs in composting facilities, waste management, and related sectors. The recent textile ban from landfi lls is a notable example of how policy innovation has created programs and outlets for the successful recovery of materials. These actions are key to achieving your Administration’s greenhouse gas reduction and environmental justice goals. We envision a collaborative eff ort between the state government and local municipalities to develop and implement a comprehensive plan for organics diversion. This plan should include: 1. Increased Funding and Resources: Allocate state funding to support municipal and regional composting programs and food waste diversion, including infrastructure development and public education campaigns. Examples of needed infrastructure include funding for curbside collection programs, drop off programs and compost sites. 2. Regulatory Support: Establish regulatory reforms, including, as funding is put in place to support needed infrastructure, steadily increasing the percentage of organic waste reclaimed and diverted from disposal. 3. Public-Private Partnerships: Foster collaborations between public entities and private companies to create a robust market for compost and other organic products, ensuring that these materials are processed and utilized effectively. By taking these steps, we can position Massachusetts as a leader in sustainable waste management and climate action. Your leadership and commitment to this cause will not only improve the quality of life for our residents but also set a powerful example for other states to follow. We stand ready to work with you and your administration to achieve these critical goals. Together, we can build a healthier, more sustainable, and more equitable future for all Massachusetts residents. GAMBLING LOSS DEDUCTION s part of the big beautiful bill passed by both branches or Congress, and signed by President Trump on July 4, 2025, was a change in the amount of gambling losses that can be claimed as an itemized deduction on your 2026 Federal income tax return. For gambling losses incurred in 2026, only 90 percent of such losses will be able to be deducted on Schedule A as an itemized deduction. Needless to say, the gambling industry is not happy about this provision. If a taxpayer had $10,000 in gambling winnings in 2026 and $10,000 in gambling losses, only $9,000 in gambling losses would be deductible as an itemized deduction. The result is the taxpayer is going to pay income taxes even after not having made any money in gambling for the year. Keep in mind that you can only claim gambling losses as an itemized deduction. Therefore, if you end up claiming the standard deduction due to it being higher than the toA tal of your itemized deductions, you end up not claiming a gambling loss and all of the gambling winnings are taxable income with no off setting losses. With the increase in the SALT (state and local tax) deduction from $10,000 to $40,000, there will be more taxpayers that will end up itemizing their deductions and therefore would then be able to claim 90% of their gambling losses in 2026. For the calendar year 2025, you can still claim 100 percent of your gambling losses if you itemize your deductions. Gambling losses have always been limited to gambling winnings. That has not changed under the new legislation for the calendar year 2025. However, for the fi rst time, only 90% of gambling losses can be utilized to off set gambling winnings in calendar year 2026. This could be a very big deal for professional gamblers. They may have significant winnings yet only get the 90% deduction. This is intended of course to raise tax revenue to help off set loss of revenue due to other tax provisions in this new legislation. On July 7, 2025, Nevada Representative Dina Titus introduced legislation to restore the 100 percent deduction for gamblers. She named the bill “My Fair Bet Actâ€, which calls for a fair taxation policy with respect to gambling winnings and losses. The American Gaming Association is obviously supporting her bill. I doubt, now that the law has passed, the Republican controlled congress will vote in favor of her bill. Joseph D.

One of the most popular is the Lemonettes hosted each August by sisters Jordan and Kayla Martelli. Every summer since they were kids, Jordan, a 2025 graduate of Revere High School and incoming freshman at Merrimack College, and Kayla, a senior Nursing student at Merrimack College, would create a summer bucket list. This list included many things that they wanted to do over their summer break. Fourteen years ago, they decided to hold a lemonade stand and donate the earnings to charity. The charity they selected was Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, which raises money to fund childhood cancer research. According to the sisters, Alexandra “Alex†Scott, the founder of the foundation, was a strong-willed girl who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer, at a year old. Alex held an annual lemonade stand, where the money she raised went to childhood cancer research. By the time of her death in 2004, she had raised one million. Alex’s story inspired the sisters, and ever since they have helped her cause. The summer of 2012 is when they held their first lemonade stand as the Lemonettes. Over the years, they have raised nearly $70k for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, and their annual stand has been a staple in the Revere community where everyone comes together for a great cause. The girls consider the Lemonettes the highlight of their year as they enjoy seeing everyone they love to come and support their mission. “Being part of this lemonade stand has truly helped me discover my passion for giving back.

Almost 65 Dear Almost, You won’t be subject to any fines for switching Medicare plans, but you will be subject to medical underwriting for the supplemental (Medigap) policy. That means the private insurance companies that off er these plans can deny you coverage or charge you a lot more for preexisting conditions. This is known as the Medicare Advantage trap. Here’s what you should know. Understanding MA Plans Medicare Advantage plans (also known as Medicare Part C) are government approved health plans sold by private insurance companies that you can choose in place of original Medicare. The vast majority of Advantage plans are managed-care policies such as HMOs or PPOs that require you to get your care within a network of doctors. If you join an Advantage plan, the plan will provide all your Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) coverage like original Medicare does. But many Advantage plans also off er extra health perks like dental, hearing and vision coverage along with gym/fitness memberships, and most plans include prescription drug coverage too. Medicare Advantage plans are also cheaper than if you got original Medicare, plus a separate Part D drug plan and a Medigap policy. This can be very attractive to new enrollees who are relatively healthy and don’t require much medical care. But the benefi ts and networks of Advantage plans can change from year to year. And if you get care outside the networks, you’ll usually pay more — sometimes a lot more. Advantage plans are also criticized for pre-authorization requirements which can delay or deny patient access to medical care. The rap on Medicare Advantage has always been that they’re great when you’re healthy and don’t require much health care, but depending on the plan, may not be so great if you get sick. With original Medicare, benefi ts remain the same and you can use any provider that accepts Medicare (most doctor’s do). But original Medicare has coverage gaps (deductibles, coinsurance and copayments) that can be very expensive, which is why you’ll need a supplemental (Medigap) plan off ered by a private insurer. If you opt for original Medicare when you’re fi rst eligible, insurers are required to issue you a Medigap policy and can’t charge you more based on your health status. In most states, Medigap plans are automatically available only in the fi rst six months after an enrollee becomes eligible for Medicare. But if you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan when you’re fi rst eligible, you’ll miss the Medigap enrollment window, which means an insurer can refuse to write you a Medigap policy or charge you a lot more for signing up later. And in case you’re wondering, you can’t buy a Medigap policy while you’re in a Medicare Advantage plan. There are, however, four states — Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine and New York — that prohibit insurers from denying a Medigap policy to eligible applicants, including people with pre-existing conditions.

Tax relief benefi ts all residents of the Commonwealth and is one of my continued priorities as we work to make Massachusetts aff ordable again,†said State Representative Jeff rey Rosario Turco (D-Revere). A spike in consumer activity routinely boosts indirect tax revenues. According to the Department of Revenue, the 2024 sales tax holiday generated $3.54 million in indirect tax revenues due to increased economic activity. At a time when consumers are seeing prices on store shelves spike, driven in part by federally imposed tariff s, this year’s Massachusetts sales tax holiday will give shoppers a much-needed break. The holiday also encourages families looking to shop for back-toschool season to support local small businesses and retailers.
