During the March 4 meeting of the City Council’s Government Operations Committee, DeMaria said McLaughlin has continued to “spread false rumors” about the Center that have been published in The Everett Leader Herald. “For some reason, Mr. McLaughlin, you’re choosing to align yourself with the editor and the owner of The Leader-Herald,” DeMaria said in a prepared statement. “While you’re carrying water for this newspaper, you are damaging this city.” DeMaria had been speaking for 30 seconds when McLaughlin tried to interject. “Mr. Chairman, this is a personal attack,” he said. However, Committee Chairman Anthony DiPierro allowed the mayor to continue. DeMaria also called attention to the series of text messages between McLaughlin and Leader Herald reporter Joshua Resnek.

The forum, which was attended by a large number of legislators and staff, was organized to develop a comprehensive policy for helping children and families trapped in the juvenile justice system. At the event, DiDomenico spoke about the importance of supporting the whole child in order to put all kids on a path to success. “One of my top priorities in the State Sen. Sal DiDomenico is shown addressing the attendees during the recent Juvenile Justice Policy Forum in Boston. (Courtesy Photo) State House is our youth, our young people,” said DiDomenico. “We must give them every opportunity to succeed and every opportunity to have what they rightly deserve. If we leave even one child behind, then we as a society have failed. We are living in a state and a country where we should not have any young people involved in the justice system, and it is our responsibility to fix that.” The report found that children who grow up in unstable homes are more likely to end up in the juvenile justice system. To rectify this, it recommended that the state create a care system that is “youth-centered, family-focused, community-based, culturally responsive, and minimally intrusive.” SABATINO INSURANCE AGENCY Call for a Quote 617-387-7466 Or email Rocco@sabatino-ins.com We cover: * Auto * Home * Boat * Renter * Condo * Life * Multi-Policy Discounts * Commercial 10% Discounts * Registry Service Also Available City enforcement continues positive momentum S ince taking office, Mayor Carlo DeMaria has made the safety of the city’s residents and public safety personnel a top priority. A fire on Morris Street this past July reiterated Mayor DeMaria’s concern and generated a much-needed discussion that addressed code violations within multifamily properties in the city. The two-alarm fire resulted in severe injuries to two of Everett’s firefighters, who rescued tenants from the multifamily home. The property, which was previously inspected, was under code violations, specifically an electrical issue. Following the fire, Mayor DeMaria and his administration deemed the inspections of multifamily properties as essential to prevent similar occurrences from happening. The city government mailed letters citywide requesting that http://www.sabatino-ins.com SABATINO 564 Broadway Everett, MA 02149 617-387-7466 Hours of Operation are: Mondays - Fridays 9am to 5pm Saturdays by appointment only homeowners schedule health and safety inspections with Code Enforcement officials. “The fire on Morris Street triggered major concern for the safety of our residents and public safety personnel,” said DeMaria. “These house inspections help prevent similar incidences from happening. We’re looking to help and ensure that our community and firefighters feel safe.” By law, inspections are to be done at a minimum of every five years; however, city inspectors are available to meet with landlords and inspect properties at any time. Inspectors will work with landowners to ensure all properties are up-todate with necessary code regulations. By being proactive, the mayor and his administration are hoping to remove any safety issues and improve the value of properties. The letter that was mailed to landlords identified violations that Code Enforcement teams would be looking for, such as lack of installed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and proper egresses, and issues concerning common stairways, interior public areas, exterior features, and use of temporary wiring. “It’s about education and safety,” said Michael Mastrocola and Peter Sikora of the Inspectional Services Department. “Knowing that occupants are safe is the goal the Mayor has set out to achieve. We are happy with the progress our team has made and are determined to tackle as many problems as possible.” To date, Code Enforcement teams have inspected 63 properties, 20 of which were brought into compliance with the city’s building codes.

Both projects are expected to be completed by the spring of 2020. During their March 4 presentation, Landscape Designer Elyse Gemme and Project Manager Leslie Fanger of Bohler Engineering said the Central Avenue Park will be redesigned to include a dog park that will be “180-200” feet long. “This is going to be the first dog park in Everett,” said Fanger. Gemme said the dog park will have a synthetic turf with antimicrobial properties for odor control as well as an irrigation system. “It’s not made with nylon, that’s the main thing,” she said, adding that there will also be a bone-shaped “puddle pool” for the dogs. In addition, a pocket park and toddler play area will be installed on the other side of the park. Fanger said that right now, there is a non-working water fountain and playground equipA rendering of how the old Hale School Park on Glendale Street is expected to look following its upcoming renovation. (Photos Courtesy of Bohler Engineering) ment from the 1980s. “The play equipment is quite old and in some cases dangerous,” she said, adding that the current equipment has exceeded its useful life by at least 15 years. “We need to start fresh here.” Similar to the Central Avenue Park, the old Hale School Park will feature a splash pad, play equipment for toddlers and a playground for children between the ages of five and 12. “That was an overriding theme for the mayor,” said Fanger. In addition, Gemme said, there will be a group of handicap-accessible community gardens. With plans to incorporate a nature theme, Fanger said, the park will have diagrams showing the life cycle of different plants. “We want to encourage learning along the way,” she said. Also recognizing that the park is the former site of the Hale School, Fanger said, the walkway will be replaced with “real brick to harken back to the school itself.” In terms of security, Fanger said a taller fence with a keypad will surround the perimeter of the park. There will also be addiAn aerial overview of the Central Avenue Park, which will feature the city’s first bona fide dog park. tional street lighting and surveillance cameras linked directly to the Everett Police Department. Fanger also said that during the renovation process, every effort will be made to save as many trees as possible at each park. “There are a lot of ornamental trees that are worth saving,” she said.

The MWRA and the Everett Department of Public Works perform thousands of tests each year to ensure Everett’s water is safe and of the highest quality. However, according to MWRA Executive Director Frederick Laskey, lead in drinking water continues to be “a hot topic.” System-wide, the MWRA has been below the lead action level for many years, but there are still many lead service lines within the MWRA’s member communities, including in Everett. Service lines are the pipes that connect the water main in the street with the pipes in a home. Lead was widely used in service lines until 1944, and lead is common in many of the older communities in Massachusetts. Homeowners and the cities have replaced many lead service lines, but some remain. Over time, lead from pipes can leach into drinking water. The MWRA has developed a $100-million, zero-interest loan program to help communities remove these lead service lines, and communities like Everett are applying for and beginning to use those funds. In early December 2018, the MWRA and the Clean Water Action Group awarded Everett’s neighbor Chelsea and the community-based environmental group GreenRoots, grant-funding to remove lead service lines as the city encounters them during paving or sidewalk repair programs – at no cost to the homeowner. A similar effort will begin in Everett starting in the spring of 2019.

Per Everett Water Department Rules and Regulations, service lines on private property are the responsibility of the property owner and not the responsibility of the city. However, to resolve potential health concerns, the City of Everett is funding the entire cost to replace the affected water service lines, the typical cost of which is $5,000 to $7,000 per service. Water engineering firm Tata & Howard, Inc. is assisting the city in administering the first phase of the service line replacement program, which will likely cover approximately 100 to 150 services.

Homeowners will need to give the contractor adequate access to the water meter inside the house or basement, as well as provide a clear pathway to and around the water meter. Homeowners will also be responsible for the removal of basement finishes around the water meter and piping, such as floorings, wall framing and coverings, shelving, furniture and electronics. This initial phase of the service line replacement program, which is taking place in the neighborhoods west of Main Street and north of Waters Avenue, is expected to last about six months. The city is making a proactive effort to aid the community at large through a systematic, area-by-area approach to replacing suspected lead service lines. addition to the strong academic curriculum, the variety of clubs and organizations promote the importance of social, recreational, academic and cultural activities among the student body.

Daylight Savings Time begins this weekend. Everyone needs to set their clocks forward an hour before they go to bed tomorrow night (Saturday, March 9), as the time switch takes place officially at 2 a.m. on Sunday. But State Fire Marshal Peter Ostroskey urges homeowners and apartment tenants that it’s also time to take care of some potentially life-saving matters. “This weekend as you change your clocks, check your alarms,” Ostroskey said in a statement issued by his office this week. “Working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms can save your life. Replace aging alarms, and unless they have a 10-year sealed battery, replace the alkaline batteries now,” the state fire marshal said. Replace aging smoke alarms “Smoke alarms, like other household appliances, don’t last forever,” said Chief Timothy J. Grenno, president of the Fire Chiefs’ Association of Massachusetts, “Every 10 years the entire alarm needs to be replaced, not just the batteries,” he added. The state fire code requires replacement battery-operated smoke alarms to have 10-year, sealed, non-replaceable, non-rechargeable batteries in older one- and two-family homes. Manufacturers generally recommend smoke alarms be replaced after 10 years and carbon monoxide alarms after five to seven years. Newer models with 10-year sealed batteries are designed to last longer and do not require replacement batteries. “Fire officials see too many disabled smoke alarms in fires when people really needed them to work … We hope that if smoke alarms are easier to maintain, people won’t be tempted to disable them,” Chief Grenno said. Time is your enemy in a fire “Time is your enemy in a fire, and working smoke alarms give you precious time to use your home escape plan before poisonous gases and heat make escape impossible,” Ostroskey said. “Remember: Smoke alarms are a sound you can live with.” In the average house fire, there are only one to three minutes to escape after the smoke alarm sounds. “No one expects to be a victim of a fire, but the best way to survive one that does occur is to have working smoke alarms,” Grenno said. “Take a few minutes to protect those you love by changing the batteries in your smoke alarms this weekend. Then take a step stool and some 9-volts to your parents or older neighbor’s and ask if you can refresh their smoke alarms,” he said Senior SAFE Saugus is one of 242 fire departments across the state that have grant-funded Senior SAFE programs. Seniors who need help testing, maintaining or replacing smoke alarms should contact the Fire Department or the Saugus Senior Center for assistance. “Four out of every 10 of the people who have died in fires DAYLIGHT | SEE PAGE 18 St. Patrick’s Day Specials BEER HOT BUY!

Avila resigned last month after it was discovered she had been stretching her credentials, saying she held a master’s degree in nutrition from Tufts University. “Karen was not required to have the credentials she claimed to have to do her job,” he said. “To make a situation bigger than what it is, is irresponsible.” In addition, DeMaria said the Center generated $255,000 in 2016, $326,000 in 2017 and $384,000 in 2018. He also said enrollment increased from 1,398 family plans in 2015 to 2,544 family plans last year.

However, DeMaria said McLaughlin intentionally misread Avila’s title. “It doesn’t say ‘Center,’ read it again,” said DeMaria, raising his voice. “I’ve been here 25 years; I’ve never seen someone act like you do.” On March 5 The Advocate received information indicating that McLaughlin, who was noticeably distraught after the meeting, might resign from the City Council. McLaughlin could not be reached for additional comment. Editor’s Note: The following is the full text of DeMaria’s reaction to the Church Street fish wrap and McLaughlin’s criticism of the Wellness Center. Good evening: For some time now, there has been a great deal of repeatedly false information publicized about the Wellness Center – false and walked back claims of settlement, to exaggerated issues portrayed to make it appear that there is a constant problem at the Wellness Center that bleeds into its operation. For some reason, Mr. McLaughlin, you are choosing to align yourself with the editor and owners of the Leader Herald in helping to perpetuate falsehoods and typical employment matters beyond their relevance. While you’re carrying water for that newspaper, you are damaging this city. You must know these stories are overblown, and yet you sit here and expect answers beyond the scope of your function as if you have a right to smear the good people working every day to enhance this City, OUR City! That newsletter only tries to tear down this administration and the Encore project: a project that will bring the City great tax revenue, jobs, and environmental cleanup for Everett and the surrounding area. And you want to do the paper’s dirty work to what end? To stop the progress? You have bought in hookline-and-sinker to the false stories about a Health and Wellness Center you have never even visited for yourself? The questions you have proposed are repetitive and seek information beyond your function as a legislator so you can play political games. You use words like “unsafe” and “negative” to describe it. Nothing can be further from the truth … I AM HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS FOR MY ADMINISTRATION, AND TO DEFEND THIS CITY FROM THIS ATTACK. AS TO YOUR QUESTIONS … The Wellness Center is a constituent heavy service that many municipalities don’t have. We embarked on this with the residents in mind, to offer them a place to move, exercise, and have a sense of community. We offer classes, meals, training, and even daycare where residents trust us with their children. We get very little in the way of negative feedback. From seMCLAUGHLIN | SEE PAGE 13 ׉ 7cassandra://SvttbG3bcXK5wd8X4SxoXsPTybi6Pc6Rr9dL4T22oms3`̰\v^hdbw׉EGMCLAUGHLIN | FROM PAGE 12 niors to students, they all enjoy this facility and its staff. In fact, if the positive and successful stories were offered up as much as the inflated negative ones, then I bet even you would have a different view, never being there to see for yourself. You mention numerous complaints the residents have made to you. As an elected official of the city, did you report these to anyone that can help, or did you direct them to someone with knowledge in an attempt to help them? Were you keeping these complaints to yourself for some reason? As a member of the Council, how do you think it helps this City by hoarding complaints for political purposes, if they even exist? Instead, you talk about broken trust. You contribute to that by letting complaints die with you. By not seeking to assist in the solution, but instead seeking to damage the reputation of this fine Center. Have you gone in and witnessed the joy in the kids’ activities, or the community getting together? Maybe you should so you know what you are talking about … By not directing complaints to the proper people, you are just creating a false sense that there is a problem where there is not, or counseling people on matters you are not trained to. That is creating broken trust and frankly poor leadership. You talk about a breakdown in leadership. Have you seen the daily classes taking place on the state of the art equipment, equipment that is maintained very well? Equipment that was purchased by procurement after several bids, from the lowest bidder, who installed the equipment themselves. Have you seen the expertise of the teachers in action, and the variety of class offerings? You ask for information on the staff. Go up and see for yourself the fine job they do. Further, to qualify the Center as “negative” and “unsafe” does a disservice to our city. To drag this into the newspaper over and over does no good, especially to the real people that are collateral damage to you. To exaggerate these issues and repeat them over and over is propaganda. To make a situation bigger than it is, is irresponsible. This is what you are perpetuating. This is what you are contributing. Yes there have been some complaints. My administration has been in front of the council about this. After that, the newspaper had to walk back their false story. Human resources issues happen in the regular course of any business. We investigated it thoroughly. We made the accommodations required. Any further pursuit would be a private matter, and the information is protected until such time as a determination was made. With the volume of people THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, March 8, 2019 - Natalaia Chay De Gonzalez – Instructor - David Fanni – Instructor - Gina Matarazzo – Instructor - Rosa Portillo – Instructor - Christine Demetrio – Day we serve, as well as number of staff, the number of these complaints is typical if not low. And I assure you, all are addressed as soon as they are made known to us. My administration does their job, and again, this is not your function. Want a lawsuit? Personnel files are exempt under public records law. Want to expose the city to liability? Publish someone’s protected information. Discussing current matters can compromise the City. Potential claimants have rights and they have a proper process. The City has a right to defend. Neither is your function, but all should be kept confidential in accordance with the law until the matter is resolved. Freely discussing conjecture can only weaken the city. It is our function to protect privileged information and this City, and we will do so even if you paint it as a negative. (Maybe) As to your questions to Dr. Easy, Dr. Easy works on a daily basis assessing the operational needs of all city departments. He makes recommendations on a daily basis regarding a variety of issues. Attorney Wehbe Ammouri has always been a lawyer with access to personnel records. All employees’ time is tracked with timesheets. This function is not yours. You are not entitled to these matters and again, it is not your function. As to the Center, Steve Supino ran a gym for decades in the private sector. We asked him to create a plan for the Wellness Center. Some employees were transfers from the rec center, and others were hired via the application process, referrals and recommendations. I am the appointing authority and made the staffing decisions. Nick has been the manager of the day to day operations since he was hired in 2015. As to all the employees of the center, every year, we go over the budget with the council, and we will again this year. To the best of my knowledge, they are: - Nick Bertrone – Manager/ Trainer - Kristin Fulton – Recreation Coordinator - George Wright – Recreation Leader - Karen Martinelli – Administrative Assistant - Sam Amado – Instructor - Kahlea Brown – Instructor - Michael Marchese – Instructor - Pablo Miranda – Instructor - Yago Miranda – Instructor Care Center - The City also hires vendors to run classes. To answer another of your questions, The Managing staff was: - Steve has been the Executive Director of Health and Human Service - Karen was Director of Health and Wellness (not to be confused with the center) - Fitzroy Bramble was previous manager - Nick Bertone is currently the manager The numbers at the center are strong: 2016 – Approximately 255K in revenue … 2017 – Approximately 326K 2018 – Approximately 384K Membership by Family Plan: 2015 – 1,398 2016 – 1,865 2017 – 2,268 2018 – 2,544 The Center keeps adding enrolment and revenue, flying in the face of your mistrust nonsense. Karen was the director of Health and Wellness, which is a distinction from the Health and Wellness Center. I recently initiated a citywide check on licenses, to assure that none had lapsed. That is when we discovered Karen’s issue, she resigned due to all of the publicity in the paper, and I accepted her resignation. Karen was not required to have the credentials she claimed to have to do her job, but she was educated in the field, having a bachelor’s degree from Framingham State in Food and Nutrition. At no time would there have been a negative effect as a result, and to say so is not responsible. You’re criticizing the initiative that produced this result and you’re calling out my Administration for not taking action when that is exactly what I did. While we were taking appropriate action, you received Page 13 office gossip creating the impression that this issue is much larger than it actually is. The Center is safe and prosperous, and a benefit to the residents. While you are spreading false rumors, you do us all disservice. Let me share with you some accolades in the few short years the Center has been open: • 2015 – A grant from the US Conference of mayors for promoting health weight in children.

He will join an estimated 30,000 runners along the 26.2 mile course that spans from Hopkinton to Boston’s Boylston Street. The funds Filippo raises will provide critical support for emergency care, disaster relief, and disaster preparedness teaching and training at Mass General, efforts that benefit victims worldwide. The Emergency Response Marathon Team’s 2019 fundraising goal is $430,000. Following the 2013 marathon bombings, Mass General was invited by the Boston Athletic Association to create a special team of runners. For the sixth straight year, thanks to a partnership with John Hancock, MGH’s Emergency Response Marathon Team will aim to collectively raise $430,000 this year. To date, the Emergency Response Marathon Team has raised over $1.9 million. The funding raised by the team is critical to the Emergency Department’s efforts to develop tools and training programs to continually advance its ability to respond to manmade and natural disasters. This year the funds will also support pediatric emergency response programs, ensuring the youngest and most vulnerable patients continue to receive state-of-theart and compassionate care in a child-friendly environment. “We are grateful to our runners and the awareness they bring to emergency medicine at Mass General,” said MGH Chief of Emergency Medicine David Brown, MD. “These funds support the vital training and resources needed to develop a carefully integrated response that spans multiple departments throughout the hospital.” To learn more about MGH’s Emergency Response Marathon Team, please go to https:// giving.massgeneral.org/boston-marathon/emergency-response-team/. ~FLASHBACK~ Former Ward Two Councilor Jason Marcus is rumored to be running for his old seat on the council.

Breakaway Music Hall owner Joe Crowley, who purchased the former Village Green restaurant and bar less than four years ago, has turned the place upside down with renovations to the kitchen and restaurant of the nightclub – moving the stage to the west side to allow for a larger capacity – along with a renovated bar. After its start as a gamble with local cover bands – such as the popular Fortune, Tangerine and Wildfire bands – Breakaway has shown that music fans also love the tribute bands that take it to the next lever with sight as well as sound, such as KISS Forever, which included costumes and makeup. The Doors Experience will return a Jim Morrison tribute to the Breakaway stage, which will also feature Livin’ on a Bad Name’s Bon Jovi lookalike. Taking the classic rock tribute to the next MIRROR IMAGE: Maurice “Mick Jagger” is shown on stage performing The Rolling Stones’ songbook. The Stones tribute band The Blushing Brides will be bringing their 40th anniversary tour to the Breakaway Music Hall stage on April 20.

The package is some $30 million less than the one proposed by Gov. Charlie Baker in early February. Provisions include $30 million in funding for the Low Income Heating Energy Assistance Program to help low-income elders, working families and other households pay a portion of winter heating bills; $10 million for emergency shelter assistance for families; $8 million for the collection and testing of sexual assault evidence kits; and $1.4 million for an independent statewide examination of the safety of the gas distribution infrastructure. Other funding includes $494,662 for the Sex Offender Registry; $28 million for the Department of Corrections; and creation of the Massachusetts Veterans and Warriors to Agriculture Program to enhance the education, training, employment of veterans currently working or aspiring to work in the field of agriculture. Suppor ters said the package is a reasonable and fiscally responsible one. “It will tackle immediate needs, including $30 million going to the Low Income Heating Energy Assistance Program ensuring that no family in the commonwealth will be forced to put off paying heating bills,” tweeted newly-minted House Ways and Means chair Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston). (A "Yes" vote is for the $135 million budget.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been 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 February 18-22, the House met for a total of four hours and 50 minutes while the Senate met for a total of two hours and 16 minutes.

The Who tribute band called 5:15 will play on March 29; the Aerosmith tribute fave Draw The Line will play May 6. Just last weekend, the U2 tribute band The Joshua Tree packed the club with hundreds of fans. Breakaway will also feature national acts, such as John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band, which is slated to play the club on Saturday, April 6, and tickets have been selling steadily, says Crowley. Country star Ayla Brown will appear on May 3. The venue has also featured Rick Derringer (“Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo”) as well as the band Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau with his new band, Engine Room. Ozzy Osbourne tribute band Ozzmosis joined Judas Priest, The Priest for a recent double metal bill that packed the music hall. According to Crowley, he’s just getting started with building the club’s rep for not just local bands, but national acts from rock and country to alternative. Crowley credits Breakaway General Manager Dan Muccio’s background in music management and his many contacts in the industry with the band bookings. “I think we’ve firmly planted DAYLIGHT | FROM PAGE 11 The $2,600 Senior Safe grant that Saugus received for the current fiscal year enables the Fire Department to provide fire and life safety education to the town’s elderly. Seniors have a high risk of dying in a fire. Fire and burns risks for seniors include cooking, smoking, home oxygen use, and electrical and heating dangers. Senior SAFE also aims to improve safety in senior housing. Programs include the following: • smoke and carbon monoxthe flag in Danvers as a great live club setting, and bands and their agents have been taking notice,” said Crowley. “I hope to see major national acts stop in for either an intimate club show during their major stadium tours or solo acoustic shows. It’s all wait-and-see.” Crowley has also planted the seeds for the local music scene by offering up the Music Hall stage for local performers to play with a professional musician, Brian Maes and his band on Tuesday Open Mic nights. Budding musicians of all ages can work on their chops by signing in at 6:30 pm and jam with the pros. “I want to give the local musicians an opportunity to play – kind of like giving back to the musical community, said Crowley. “Maybe someday they can return with their own band or as a solo act and get paid as a professional. I can say ‘I knew them when they first played at Breakaway’, he said with a smile. If fans of rock, metal, alternative grunge and country can’t see the real thing, they can come to Breakaway to see the next best thing.

Senator DiDomenico spoke to the WBA members about his bill An Act to lift the cap on kids (S.34), which is one of WBA’s top priorities this legislative session. An Act to lift the cap on kids, also known as Lift the Cap, would repeal the state’s family cap. The family cap denies Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children (TAFDC) to children conceived while – or soon after – the family received benefits. This cap denies a child $100 a month in benefits plus an annual $300 clothing allowance. There are currently about 8,700 children in Massachusetts who are excluded from benefits because of when they were born. “We know that it’s time to take action and repeal this ineffective and unjust policy, and show that we value all children equally, regardless of the circumstances of their birth,” Senator DiDomenico remarked. He also encouraged WBA members to speak to their legislators regarding the policy, stating “Do not simply ask your elected officials whether they support a bill or an issue. Ask them, ‘At what level do you support it?’” Last session Lift the Cap passed the House and the Senate, but was amended by the Governor at the end of session.
