In 2014, I introduced him to politics where he contributed to several winning political campaigns. From there, he worked at the State House as an aide to Senator Boncore and continued on to work in the climate space.†“If elected I look forward to fighting for climate resiliency eff orts alongside Ms. McKenna that protect the homes and the pockets of Revere residents and homeowners,†added Juan. Revere’s status as a coastal community place it at particular risk for coastal erosion and increased fl ooding caused by the changing climate. Drawing on his experience as an organizer and former Political Director for the Environmental League of Massachusetts, Juan added that “cities and towns must make investments in their transportation, housing, and municipal infrastructure and transition away from fossil fuels in order to avert the worse eff ects of the climate crisis, all while protecting their wet lands like Belle Isle and Rumney Marsh which serve as natural barriers to fl ooding and erosion.†Councilor McKenna added that “throughout the years, I have witnessed him flourish, grow and develop into the man he is today; a man with a love for the political scene and doing what’s best for his community.†She closed by saying that she believed that “Juan would be a great asset as a city of Revere Councillor. While bringing diversity to the council, he will also propose fresh perspectives when it comes to aff ordable housing and support for the working-class population. Councillor McKenna who represents Revere’s iconic Beachmont neighborhood to the Immaculate Conception neighborhood adds her name to the growing list of former and current Revere elected officials that are supporting Juan Jaramillo for Revere council at-large. As it stands, there will be a preliminary election that will be held on September 19th with a general election on November 7th.

By Barbara Taormina A fter approving more than $11 million in loans for necessary sewer system improvements, the City Council voted to approve $675,757 in spending from the city’s free cash or budget surplus from last year. The lion’s share of that money, $515,757, is for the snow and ice deficit. CFO Richard Viscay anticipated questions about a half million-dollar defi cit for the account during a winter when there wasn’t much snow. “There were a lot of ice events,†said Viscay, adding that much of the money was for sand, salt and overtime. Viscay also explained that the city needed to pay for the storage of DPW equipment while construction for the new DPW facility on Charger Street is underway. “We didn’t have any place to store equipment,†said Viscay. Councillors transferred $160,000 from free cash to the Fire Department’s auto maintenance account. Viscay said the money would be used to pay for signifi cant mechanical problems with fi re equipment. Councillors also voted to transfer $1,100,994 from the Water/Sewer retained earnings fund to the Water/Sewer Enterprise fund.

The fl ag raising ceremony was organized by Councillor-atLarge Steven Morabito and City Hall staff . Organizers assembled a panel of elected offi cials and LGBTQIA advocates to share personal and political comments about the meaning of the fl ag and their support for the LGBTQIA community. “Pride month is a time when we come together to recognize diversity, equality and acceptance for all,†said Morabito, who, as master of ceremonies, introduced fellow Councillor-at-Large Dan Rizzo and Acting Mayor Patrick Keefe. “Pride month is a reminder our remarkable diversity is a gift,†said Rizzo. “Also, it’s a time we celebrate the progress that’s been made protecting the rights of the LGBTQ community,†said Rizzo, adding that it’s also a time to reaffi rm the commitment to protecting those rights. Keefe spoke about change that the community needs to accept and understand. “The way Revere has evolved to be a more open and inclusive environment makes me proud to be a Revere resident,†said Keefe, adding that Revere residents raise their families with the right values and tolerance. Like other speakers, State Rep. Jessica Giannino praised Morabito for bringing events like the pride fl ag raising to Revere and for being a role model for young gay residents. “This fl ag is a beacon of love, acceptance and unity,†said Giannino. “We refl ect on the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQAI community. But it’s not just a celebration. The fi ght for equality is far from over. We are standing up against any form of Giannino said the Pride flag should serve as a reminder that everyone is free to love and be loved. “Let’s celebrate the diversity that makes Revere beautiful,†she said. State Senator Lydia Edwards echoed Giannino’s comments about remaining vigilant against all forms of discrimination. “I’m excited to promote Pride and use it as a reminder for everyone to have respect and love for one another,†she said. Revere resident Jesús García Mota, a community organizer for the Latino community, spoke about the need to ensure equitable opportunities. “We need to be kind to each other and embrace our diversity,†he said. “We need to dedicate ourselves to the mission of acceptance.†Revere Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Erica Porzio called Pride Month a celebracount and the Assessor’s Revaluation Account.

How is this plan related to Wakefi eld offi cials’ nearly decade-long attempt to get their own hockey rink, and to a collaboration between town offi - cials and NEMT to swap plans and use taxpayer money to destroy the forest? This is a tale of two parcels – one too risky and expensive for private developers to bid on, covered in forest and ledge, and another cleared and nearly ready to build. The hilltop site is estimated to cost $40 million for sitework which includes clearing 14 acres of forest and blasting for a building. Wakefi eld has collaborated with NEMT to get a hockey rink in the forested hilltop since at least 2014. RFPs (request for proposals) were requested by the Wakefi eld town manager and approved by the Town Council over the years. The developer was expected to pay them, the Town of Wakefi eld and the NEMT, fees as the lessors. “The (owners) are interested in developing the site to include two sheets of ice with spectator seating, locker rooms and snack bar areas. Parking is to be provided and a second means of egress onto Farm Street is requiredâ€. They received no bids. Why? What could it be except the expense, risk and inherent diffi culty of the project: the huge amount of ledge requiring blasting and clear cutting, and the possibility of consequences for abutters? In February 2016, a pre-feasibility study for a new school by the architectural fi rm Dore and Whittier rejected the forested hilltop location for a school as too diffi cult, expensive and with poor access. In August 2016, the Wakefi eld Town Administrator received approval from the town selectmen for a feasibility study for a rink on the forested hilltop and a road from Farm St. NEMT was accepted to the funding program for a new school by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (“MSBAâ€) in 2017. Eventually, NEMT was invited to the feasibility stage. All members of the School Committee formed the School Building Committee ephemeral streams, seeps, endangered species and species of greatest conservation need or concern. This plan for the school requires cutting down acres of trees, grubbing out the soil and blasting down 30-35 feet for a building platform. There will be a 30-35 ft high cliff along the 650 ft back side of the school with hazard fencing at the top. The road from the school down to Hemlock Road will be too steep for a sidewalk. Those who park in the student parking lot will need to climb 1100 feet of ramps and stairs to get to the lowest level entrance to the school. Just think about that daily access in all conditions for Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Breakheart Reservation (SBC) which means they report back to themselves. The earliest minutes are Jan. 2019 with Stephen Maio, Town Administrator, attending. By May 2019 he was a member of the SBC, according to the minutes. PMA Associates was hired as the project manager around August 2019. In December 2019, the design fi rm DRA Associates was hired for a feasibility study. The SBC were told that the MSBA would not reimburse for a hockey rink, aquatic center or other facilities. But the hockey rink did not go away. The “Future Hockey Rink†continued to be discussed in SBC meetings and shown in presentations about the planned school. Early preferred options for the school were on the practice fi eld behind the school (a site called “C.1â€) and the current football fi eld (“C.2â€). By 2020, presentations to the School Building Committee show the school on one site option called C.3. That plan puts the school on the forested hilltop and the rink on the current football fi eld. With this plan the sites for the rink (in the forest) and the school (on current campus) were fl ipped. Although the MSBA made clear they would not pay for a hockey rink, the SBC and the MSBA proceeded with the plan to put the school on the rock outcrop forest. Submissions by PMA and DRA to the MSBA say the cleared site of the current football fi eld is being reserved for a future hockey rink. Most members of the SBC never walked the hilltop site before the vote to approve. This 29 acre forested hilltop, administered by NEMT, was once part of Breakheart Reservation. Many assumed it was protected. It abuts Wakefi eld article 97 land (public land that is supposed to be protected). It is an ecosystem with vernal pools, 5.0 Is Your Estate in Order?

Revere is the gateway to Boston and the North Shore, with easy access to various transportation options. Revere has Rte 1, Rte 145, Revere Beach Pkwy, Rte 1A, three MBTA stations, plenty of bus routes, and soon a commuter rail station. Revere is close to Logan Airport, the harbor tunnels, the Tobin Bridge, and downtown Boston. Revere is also home to America’s fi rst public beach. What a great place to live and work! However, as a lifelong resident of Revere, I have also witnessed the challenges that come with being such a well-connected city. One of them is the high cost of car insurance. We were told that it is based on the number of traffi c accidents and claims in the city, which are high because of the many commuters passing through Revere. This leads to another problem: traffi c congestion. I do not think that the new apartments in Revere are the main cause of this issue. I think it is because of the highway projects that were never completed. These projects were funded based on traffi c studies that predicted an increase in traffi c volume, but then they were cut from the budgets without much explanation. This brings me to my main point: Revere is not getting the support and respect it deserves from the state and federal governments. Mass Dot, MBTA, DCR, all benefi t from their interests within Revere, but they fail to manage or support them in a proactive manner. For example, what if Rte 1 was straightened and widened at the Lynn St curve? How much better would traffi c fl ow then? What if the I-95 Connector was completed in the 70’s? What if Bell / Mahoney Circle was improved or eliminated? What if RTE 1A was improved? On a local level, How about our city streets being designated “LOCAL ACCESS ONLY†during rush hours? With some dedicated Enforcement, it would get the attention of Ma DOT when their state roads are clogged to the max. Now, Let’s move on… Everyone knows that an MBTA Police Dept exists. Does anyone ever see them? Maybe, with the amount of traffi c and foot traffi c brought by the 3 Blue Line stations, Multiple Bus Lines and Parking facilities, the MBTA Police should have Multiple Units dedicated to Revere. Maybe a Sub Station? Further… How’s your Water Bill? Why is it that every other utility is responsible for their methods of delivery (Electric, Gas, Cable) but the MWRA isn’t? And CDM Smith? How they doin’? Didn’t they lose some lawsuits in the recent past? Any photos of the hole in the pipe that drained McMackin Field? And Finally……. Revere Beach: A Neglected Treasure Revere Beach is the oldest public beach in the United States. It has been a source of pride and joy for generations of Revere residents and visitors. However, in recent years, it has also been a victim of neglect, deterioration and lascivious and criminal behaviors. The pavilions are dirty and peeling, the trash cans are overfl owing, and the security is inadequate. This is unacceptable for a beach and the citizens that deserve respect, safety and care. I am not blaming the current DCR Commissioner for this situation, but I am urging him to take action. Revere Beach needs a permanent and consistent maintenance program that includes perpetual power washing and painting of the pavilions, multiple daily trash pickups, and constant and consistent patrols by Rangers and State Police. The DCR MUST increase the number of Rangers and State Police assigned to Revere Beach, especially during peak seasons and not just during events. I am calling on our Revere Elected Offi cials to stand up for our community and our beach. For too long, Revere has been ignored and overlooked by the State and Federal Governments. Many projects and ideas that could have improved our city in many ways have been stalled or abandoned, without any consequences for those who failed to deliver. This has to change. Revere deserves more attention and investment from the State and Federal Governments. Our Elected Officials have to fight for our interests and demand more resources and support for our City.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) Scam Tracker has gotten multiple reports of travelers falling victim to lookalike websites. Always confi rm you are on the right website before making hotel reservations. How the scam works: You search for hotels in the city you plan to visit. Among the top search results is what appears to be an official hotel website or a legitimate travel booking agency. When you click the link, you fi nd a website with professional photos from the hotel and reasonable pricing. Everything looks normal, so you decide to book a room. You enter your credit card information and check out. However, when you review your credit card statement, you notice you’ve been charged a much higher rate than you agreed. It turns out that you weren’t on the offi cial hotel website after all! You accidentally clicked on a third-party site without affi liation with the hotel. One consumer reported this experience: “I was redirected without knowing it to a 3rd party website… which looked like the hotel website. I made what I thought was a reservation for two nights. But when I got the email confi rmation, I saw that I was charged almost $1,000. I was immediately concerned and located the ACTUAL hotel, and they said that there is no reservation under my name/ email and booking number which doesn’t even line up with the format that they use.†When you contact the company to cancel your reservation, you might not be able to get through to anyone. And even if you do, they’ll likely tell you you’ve made a nonrefundable reservation. The best they can do is cancel your reservation and charge you for it anyway. How to avoid hotel booking scams • Only book hotels through offi cial websites. The best way to avoid this kind of scam is to check and double-check you are on an offi cial hotel website before you enter your credit card information. Scammers are pros at building fake lookalike websites to fool you into giving up your information. Look closely at the URL to ensure you are on the hotel’s offi - cial website or a booking agency you know and trust. • Only make reservations through secure websites. You’ll also want to ensure websites and their payment pages are secure, meaning they start with https:// and display a padlock symbol. If a web page isn’t secure, don’t enter your personal information – and close the tab. • Watch out for misleading ads. Look at search results carefully. Just because a website is the fi rst result on the page doesn’t mean it’s legitimate. Watch out for high-ranking ads that scammers could sponsor. • Research businesses you aren’t familiar with. If you fi nd a booking site that looks professional but you haven’t heard of it before, proceed with caution. Search for reviews on third-party websites and keep a close eye out for reports of scams. Never share your personal information with a person or business until you know they are trustworthy.

The fi nish line will include a celebration complete with food, music and a speaking program. If walkers wish to participate a bit closer to home, the Jimmy Fund Walk has fl exible opportunities. Participants can also join the event virtually by “walking their way†from wherever they are most comfortable: in their neighborhood, on a favorite hiking trail or on a treadmill at home. Virtual programming and supporting materials will be available. The 2023 Walk will be held during the Jimmy Fund’s 75th anniversary year and will aim to raise $9 million in the eff ort to prevent, treat and defy cancer. The Jimmy Fund Walk has raised more than $167 million for Dana-Farber Cancer in its 34-year history, raising a record-breaking more than $8.8 million in 2022.

Knowing your options (and the perks and downfalls of each one) can help you save money and safely transport your belongings. Option 1: Full-service moving companies: Hiring a full-service moving company is a lower-stress way of getting all your belongings from Point A to Point B, advises Nerd Wallet, a Better Business Bureau (BBB) Accredited Business. Professional movers manage the logistics of loading, driving and unloading your things for you. Some full-service movers even off er extra services like packing. Trained movers can safely pack and transport large and/or delicate items (think pianos and antique furniture). They can also move items into hard-to-access areas, such as upstairs or down long, narrow driveways. Best of all, all the heavy lifting will be done for you. The downsides of hiring a full-service moving company are the cost and the time it takes to complete a move. This is usually the most expensive way to move your belongings. If you are making a long-distance move, it might also take movers several days to deliver your items. Option 2: Shipping your belongings: If you’ve managed to whittle your belongings down to a few boxes or suitcases, shipping them is a cheap and easy way to move – especially if you are moving across the country, points out Consumer Affairs. Big-name package shippers often charge a premium to ship large or heavy boxes. But other companies, like long-distance bus lines, might offer cheaper services. Some shippers will pick up boxes from your home and drop them off at your new address for an extra fee. While cost and ease are two big pros of this method, there are a few cons, too. Boxes shipped by ground may take several days or even a few weeks to arrive at their destination. In addition, this isn’t a good option if your boxes contain fragile items. If you are fl ying to your new home city, check with several airlines before you buy your ticket. Some airlines off er reasonable prices on additional checked bags, but you’ll probably need to do some searching to find the best deal. Option 3: DIY truck rentals: If you have larger items but still want to move DIY, a truck rental company could be a good choice. Truck rental companies will provide you with a truck or trailer of an appropriate size, but you’ll be responsible for the packing, loading, driving and unloading. This option is less expensive than hiring professional movers. Depending on how far you are going, it might be cheaper than hiring a moving container service. Move.org has calculated average prices for DIY moves. That said, loading and unloading a truck is physically demanding. If you have any large or unwieldy items, they could be damaged if they aren’t packed, loaded and unloaded correctly. To address this, you can always hire movers to help you load and unload the truck. You’ll also need to feel comfortable driving a moving truck, which is probably much larger and heavier than your regular vehicle. This can be stressful even for very capable drivers, and you might need to purchase extra insurance in case of accidents or damage. If you choose this route, add gas, insurance and lodging to the truck rental company's quote for an accurate view of the total cost. Option 4: Moving container services: Moving container services could be an ideal option if you don’t feel comfortable driving a rental truck to your new home. Moving container services bring a portable storage container to your home; you fi ll it up; then the company transports it to your new location, where you unload your belongings. These companies usuSt. Anthony’s Church Flea Market & Bazaar Saturday, June 17 from 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM Featuring Crafts, Nick-Nacks & So Much More! ~ Admission Only .50 Cents ~ For info, call Linda: (781) 910-8615 îî î“î•î’î†îˆîˆî‡î– î…îˆî‘îˆî‚¿î— î— î‘î—î‹î’î‘îœî‚¶î– î‹î˜î•î†î‹ ally give you a few days to load and unload. They can also store your container for a fee if you need time to fi nd a new house in your new city. They are less costly than a full-service moving company, and you don’t have to worry about driving a big truck to your new home. To take advantage of moving container services, you’ll need space. If your current or new home has no parking or a driveway on a steep incline, this option might not be feasible. Some moving container services off er movers to load and unload your items if you pay an extra fee. However, in many cases, paying the fee will make the moving container service more expensive or even more expensive than a full-service moving company.

The study was authored by Lisa Linowes, an energy policy expert with a focus on the costs and deployment of large-scale renewable energy. Lisa has testifi ed before Congress on federal tax policy relative to renewable energy and the impacts of off - shore wind development and has participated in numerous debates and presentations on renewable energy. The study found that New England has experienced an 11.4 percent drop in annual energy demand from 2008 to 2020, yet New Englanders pay 20 percent more on average for each kilowatt hour of electricity delivered to their homes. The study found that as renewable energy and climate policy requirements expand, the costs for ratepayers have increased. This outcome suggests that the promise of alternative energies lowering and stabilizing rates has not been realized. New England’s renewable energy mandates represent some of the most complex and costly in the entire country. Twenty-six separate programs are active across the six states, with nine in Massachusetts alone. Each covers diff erent technologies with diff erent annual compliance requirements and costs. Entities that sell electricity retail in New England are obligated to satisfy the mandates in every state where their electricity is sold. The annual cost of Massachusetts renewable energy policies has quadrupled in 10 years from $250 million in 2011 to $1 billion in 2020. Cumulatively, this has cost Massachusetts ratepayers $6 billion in increased electricity prices in that period. In 2020 alone, Massachusetts ratepayers were billed an average of $1 billion for its Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) policies, which works out to between 2¢ and 3¢ per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed. Given an average monthly consumption of electricity of 600 kilowatt hours per household, the RPS costs each ratepayer as much as $191 a year. The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) has cost ratepayers in the participating states $3.8 billion in higher electricity rates in the period from 2008 to 2020. Fifty-three percent of the cumulative RGGI funds raised went towards energy effi ciency programs; however, limited data are available to validate the corresponding cost savings and avoided emissions. For projects where information is available, it appears the cost per carbon ton avoided is signifi cantly higher than the value of the allowances sold suggesting that RGGI is an ineffi - cient use of resources. If the region’s climate policies are followed to their expected conclusion of zero emission energy, it will require substantially more ratepayer support and more land and ocean development to accommodate the wind, solar, and transmission infrastructure needed within New England. Yet reporting on these impacts is generally limited, and where available it’s often diffi cult for the public to follow. It is crucial for all, particularly the ratepayers who are shouldering the brunt of the costs, to be engaged in an honest and informed debate about the region’s energy future. On Wednesday, the Foundation held a press conference joined by several business owners. The business owners were Rod Egger, owner of Bariatrix Nutrition Inc., Jeff Sheehy, owner of Whittemore Company, and Mark Cohen, owner of OPRSystems. Rod is a resident of Wellesley and his company, Bariatrix Nutrition Inc., is primarily located in Canada due to the high energy costs to manufacture in New England. Bariatrix Nutrition is a leading developer and manufacturer of high-protein nutrition products. Jeff is a resident of New Hampshire and his company, Whittemore, is located in Lawrence, MA and produces perlite and vermiculite. These products are used in a variety of market applications in the horticultural, construction, and industrial sectors and their production has particularly high energy requirements. Mark is a resident of Concord and his company, OPRSystems, is a commercial and municipal recycling business located in Wilmington, MA. OPRSystems services and processes municipal, commercial, and industrial organizations’ recyclable commodities, including paper, cardboard, plastics, and various metals, as well as shredding and destroying a range of confi dential materials. “Massachusetts cannot be economically competitive until energy prices go down. The focus must go back to the price for the ratepayer, instead of picking winners and losers in the energy market. For the average ratepayer, they feel like their taxes are going up while they are earning less,†stated Paul Diego Craney, spokesperson for the Fiscal Alliance Foundation. “We are seeing energy consumption decrease, while prices are increasing along with layer after layer of arbitrary mandates for more renewables. The annual cost of Massachusetts renewable energy policies has quadrupled in 10 years. Our region’s renewable energy mandates are some of the most complex and costly in the entire country. We now have twenty-six separate programs across the six states, with nine in Massachusetts. As these separate programs continue to grow, so does the cost for ratepayers,†continued Craney. “Ratepayers in New England are repeatedly told emission-free electricity will lower costs and benefi t the environment. In fact, under the current energy policies, New Englanders will continue to see rate increases that will fund the industrialization of the region’s rich natural areas both on- and off shore,†stated Lisa Linowes, an energy analyst and author of the study. “As a manufacturer located in Canada, I would like nothing more than to bring these jobs to Massachusetts but due to New England’s very expensive energy prices, its cost prohibitive. Our products are sold on an international market, and we cannot aff ord the very expensive New England energy prices if we want to compete internationally. Policy makers need to bring the attention back to the ratepayers if Massachusetts ever wants to compete with the rest of the county and the world,†stated Rod Egger, owner of Bariatrix Nutrition. “As the only manufacturer of perlite and vermiculite in the Northeast, our company is at a competitive disadvantage compared to our closest US competitors located in Pennsylvania and Ohio. We use natural gas to produce our products and due to policies that restrict the supply of natural gas, our prices continue to increase along with overall electricity costs. Our products are used in a very wide variety of projects, from construction, to agriculture, to even water fi ltration. When our energy prices go up, so do the prices of these projects we service. As it stands now, I only have two energy suppliers I can shop with for my natural gas needs. If New England wants to be economically competitive with the rest of the country, it must bring in more natural gas for its energy needs, including for the important manufacturing sector,†stated Jeff Sheehy, owner of Whittemore Company. “As one of New England’s largest independent recycling companies, we use a tremendous amount of electricity in order to help our customers and the environment. In the recycling industry, our competition is virgin materials. When the cost for recycled materials becomes too expensive, manufacturers will select new over recycled materials. Driving up the cost of electricity puts New England recyclers at a competitive disadvantage over our competition, which in turn hurts our efforts to be stewards of the environment. Higher recyclable material costs also drive out paper mills from our region, a vital outlet for our scrap. When considering the environmental impact, cost has a tremendous impact on the viability of all sorts of manufacturing in our region, from which many recyclables are generated. Arbitrary mandates and deadlines are truly putting ‘the cart before the horse,’ causing needless destruction without any real environmental improvement. Lowering the cost for the ratepayers should be the primary focus, who are increasingly looking at other places to do business,†concluded Mark Cohen, owner of OPRSystems.

Healey and State House Leaders Already Have the Ability to Pay for it BOSTON – Following news reports that Massachusetts’s previous gubernatorial administration mistakenly used $2.5 billion in federal funds to pay for jobless benefi ts during the pandemic, the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance warned Governor Maura Healey against any consideration of forcing Massachusetts taxpayers and businesses to pay a portion of the $2.5 billion blunder. Massachusetts saw state spending rise to record levels this year, with Speaker Ron Mariano proposing a more than 10% increase in the state budget from $49.6B in FY2023 to $56.2B in FY2024. Now is the time for these same taxand-spend politicians to learn how to pay for costly government mistakes. “This debt only exists because Beacon Hill leaders capriciously forced these businesses to close during COVID. Many of these small businesses were forced to close their doors because of this and the ones that made it through have spent a long time rebuilding. Under no circumstance should Massachusetts businesses be expected to pay for any portion of the state government’s mistake. They’ve already paid more than enough. Any public comments even suggesting this will only continue to drive the narrative that Massachusetts is uncompetitive and does not support its small businesses,†stated Paul D. Craney, spokesperson for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “Perhaps it’s time for State House politicians to cut state spending in order to pay for their mistakes. They just proposed one of the largest year over year budget increases in our state history. They have the money to fi x this without taking extraordinary measures,†continued Craney. “There is so much wasteful spending in the state budget that the House version even included pay raises for some politicians. The Senate version included making community college discounted for illegal immigrants. There was even a national news story this week claiming Boston now spends more per student than any other large school district in the nation. State House politicians should take ownership of the errors made by the state government. Governor Healey has the money to fi x this mistake if she chooses to cut spending elsewhere, without forcing any additional taxpayers or businesses to pay for it,†concluded Craney. ׉ Ú7cassandra://fLnOb3JyoNu1tOwUX7KAcE82VRnVgLvl0xrSwsn8VjQÍ&µÍ`Ì°Í×d‚WÑr+ÿ`¿Ïô׉EÚ+ÈTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 2023 Page 15 PARCELS | FROM Page 5 not educational costs, when there is no need to do it? For some towns this will be a punishing cost. Chelsea, Revere, Malden and Saugus will pay the most. Why was the forested Hilltop site chosen when the Prefeasibility study rejected it and there are 30 acres of developed land on the existing campus? Project documentation prepared by PMA and submitted to the MSBA show there are 2 viable alternatives that meet the same educational requirements on the lower campus, the previously mentioned sites on the current practice fi eld behind the school (C.1) and the other on the current football fi eld (C.2). Even now the project team will not state how they intend to use the current football fi eld (the replacement fi eld will be close to the current Breakheart entrance). This prompted concerned citizens to review SBC materials and other project documentation. What they found were multiple references to a “Future Hockey Rink†shown and discussed in the months leading up to the SBC’s vote to recommend the Hilltop Building Site (C.3) in December 2020. The Future Hockey Rink was clearly a factor in the site selection, as evidenced by the Final Evaluation of Alternatives narrative prepared by PMA and submitted to the MSBA. There it stated “The district gains additional athletic fields with this option [C.3] and maintains the potential of reserving the current football fi eld/ track for future development as a hockey rink.†Again, when MSBA reviewers asked for justifi cation for the high site preparation costs related to putting the school on the hill, the project team responded “The new football fi eld and track is replacing the existing fi eld and track that is inaccessible, in poor condition, and is being reserved for future recreational development (outside of this Project).†The project team continues to deny the hockey rink was a factor in the site selection, but it was undeniably referenced in their decision making process and in their response to the MSBA for justifi cation of the level of site development. Maybe the question is not why would the SBC accept an impractical, unsafe design and environmental damage. Maybe the question is - who benefi ts? By locating the school on the forested hilltop, the 11 other towns in the district will pay to address the ledge and build a road through wetlands and forest habitat. Eleven other towns will pay to cut down trees, grub out soil and blast away Wakefi eld’s last forest core habitat (a state designation). Now Wakefi eld can get the sports facility and road they have wanted for years but would not pay for themselves. Developers can easily and aff ordably build whatever “facility†they want (2 sheets of ice, stadium seating, concessions and parking) on the current football field. Wakefield and NEMT will receive fees as the lessors for use of the land. When will Stephen Maio, Wakefi eld’s Town Administrator, and David DiBarri, NEMT’s Superintendent, have this opportunity again? The School Building Committee members have yet to publicly acknowledge that there are better, less expensive and safer site options for the new school. District residents have asked and spoken of real concerns about the safety of the access to the new school and of the 1100 foot long system of stairs and ramps. The residents were told not to worry, there will be liability insurance. The MSBA has never visited the site and appears to accept all information submitted by the PMA and DRA. Wakefi eld’s Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) could only discuss the plan presented to them (C3, the hilltop forest plan). Wakefi eld’s Conservation Commission can only evaluate the plan presented to them. Citizens filed an environmental review request with the state. Since the SBC is currently denying there are long-term plans to build a hockey rink (even though they previously told the MSBA that the future hockey rink played a role in the site choice), the building plan does not trigger an environmental review. A new energy park will be built on the article 97 forest land abutting the school that will leverage solar power generated from the school rooftop to benefi t Wakefi eld energy customers. The Energy Park is described as part of the school project when the gas and light company wants voters to approve the use of the public land. It is described as not part of the school when they’re trying to avoid environmental review, which they have done. The WMGLD (Wakefi eld Municipal Gas and Light Department) has submitted a plan to the state to “take†the public land. Where is the technical scrutiny and oversight? Where is that amazing system of checks and balances we have in this country? I ask the following questions as an ordinary citizen. There is a confl ict of interest law, which states that all municipal employees are required to act in the public interest. The NEMT SBC has a responsibility for all 12 towns, yes? Do the 11 other towns in the NEMT district feel that decisions have been made in their interest? How would the 11 other towns know of Wakefi eld’s long desire for a hockey rink? Nor did citizens know about the plan to destroy the forest, even when we voted for the funding to build the school in January 2022. You can read about that here at the Reading Post “Why-didnt-thepublic-know-about-the-planto-build-the-new-vokeâ€. There is something called the Right to Honest Services. It is about transparency and deception and includes a breach of a fi duciary duty. Why didn’t Wakefi eld pay for a rink if they wanted one? Isn’t this a plan to achieve a goal, a benefi t, that Wakefi eld and NEMT could not gain on their own? The NEMT project team maintains that the school property is private land. It is public land which is why all costs will be paid by the public. The school project has tens of thousands of public dollars for legal fees. When we question aspects of this project to state agencies, we are advised to get a lawyer. Over the course of a year there has been extensive outreach to Massachusetts’s statelevel legislative leaders, with little signifi cant response. Many representatives that claim to prioritize the environment nevertheless support blasting of the rock outcrop forest and wetland habitat. It is rare to even get an acknowledgment of a letter or email. Perhaps this accounts for why Massachusetts ranks 29th in the country for environmental protection. The safety issues posed by the ridiculous ramp design and lack of sidewalks within the campus cannot be remedied. According to the project’s Site Phasing Plan, students will lose access to the baseball fi eld, football fi eld and lower practice fi eld while the hill is dewatered and rock is crushed for months right behind the existing school. Voters were told this site option was the least disruptive. Wakefi eld’s beautiful native forest will turn into a rock quarry and then a parking lot. Don’t forget the resulting cliff at the back of a high school. Maintenance for this school site will always cost more. As district residents, we will also pay for the liability insurance for the least safe, most expensive, most environmentally damaging school site. They may deny the rink and they may delay the rink, but by choosing the hilltop location of C.3 we will all pay dearly for it. All of that cost will not be for a better school. It will be for a rink or sports facility that Wakefi eld and NEMT could not achieve on their own. There are better, far safer and less expensive site options. I urge you to go to tinyurl. RELOCATING OUT OF MASSACHUSETTS FOR ESTATE TAX SAVINGS I f you were to move to Florida, Texas, New Hampshire, or to any other state that has no estate tax, or to a state with a much higher estate tax exemption than Massachusetts, you still need to be aware that if you own real estate in Massachusetts, you will most likely have to pay a Massachusetts estate tax. Let’s say you have a rental property in Boston worth $750,000 and you live in Florida. You also have $1million in stocks, bonds and savings accounts. The Estate Tax Bureau in Massachusetts will require you to fi le a Massachusetts estate tax return. If you divide $750,000 by $1,750,000, you arrive at 42.86 percent of your total estate located in Massachusetts. You would then calculate the Massachusetts estate tax based upon the $1,750,000. After that initial tax is calculated, you would then multiply it by 42.86 percent to arrive at the balance due to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In this example, the initial Massachusetts estate tax would approximate $81,000. You would then multiply $81,000 x 42.86 percent to arrive at a balance due to the Commonwealth of $34,717. One way to avoid this $34,717 estate tax is to place the rental real estate into a limited liability company (LLC). Once title is transferred to the LLC, you will own a membership interest in the LLC which is similar to owning stock in a corporation. As a Florida resident, the value of the membership interest in the LLC (i.e. the value of the real estate) will not be part of your Massachusetts taxable estate thereby eliminating the need to fi le Form M-706, Massachusetts Estate Tax Return. If you are a resident of Florida, if you decide to keep your old primary residence in Massachusetts to reside there during the summer months for example, if you place that residence into an LLC, you may not be able to claim the capital gain exclusion of $500,000 for a married couple upon the sale of your primary residence. However, if the old primary residence was owned by you in your own name for at least two of the fi ve years prior to the sale, you would still be able to claim the $500,000 exclusion even if for three of those fi ve preceding years, title was in the name of the LLC. If the rental property located in Massachusetts is held by the LLC and you are the only owner of the membership interest, then no separate tax return needs to be fi led for the LLC as it is a single member LLC for tax purposes. Likewise, if a Trust owns the membership interest in the LLC, it is still considered to be a single member LLC and no separate tax returns need to be filed. The rent income and expenses are reported on Schedule E. If two or more individuals or two or more Trusts own membership interests in the LLC, then partnership income tax returns would need to be fi led. If a partnership income tax return needs to be fi led, each member of the LLC will receive a K-1 form in order to report his or her distributive share of the net rental income or loss on his or her individual income tax return.

Although no single sun protection method is foolproof, research has shown that daily sunscreen use not only reduces skin cancer risk but also helps prevent premature skin aging caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. “My patients often ask, ‘What is the best sunscreen for me?’†says Skin Cancer Foundation President Deborah S. Sarnoff , MD. “I say the best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually use. Finding a product that works with your skin and lifestyle makes it easier to incorporate it into your daily routine. Using sunscreen every morning should be as second nature as brushing your teeth.†What’s on the label? Selecting a sunscreen can seem overwhelming – you’ll encounter many diff erent formulations, and language on product packaging may be unfamiliar (and sometimes unpronounceable!). However, the Skin Cancer Foundation believes everyone can fi nd a sunscreen that works for them. Deciphering a sunscreen’s label is the fi rst step to choosing your perfect product. The fi rst thing to consider is the sunscreen’s sun protection factor (SPF). One way to think about SPF is in terms of percentages: SPF 15 fi lters out approximately 93 percent of all incoming ultraviolet B (UVB) rays; SPF 30 keeps out 97 percent and SPF 50 keeps out 98 percent of UVB. A sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 15 might be fi ne for days when you’re mostly inside, but if you’re spending an extended amount of time outdoors, pick a water-resistant formula with an SPF of at least 30. The second thing to check for on a label is the term “broad spectrum.†It’s vital that your sunscreen off ers broad-spectrum protection, which means the product protects against both ultraviolet A (UVA) and UVB rays. Both types of UV rays penetrate the skin and cause damage that can lead to skin cancer, so if a sunscreen only screens out one type, you’re leaving your skin vulnerable. Once you’ve decided on your SPF and checked that a product has broad-spectrum protection, you can decide on other qualities based on personal preference and lifestyle. For example, check the list of active ingredients on the bottle. Look for a physical filter (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) if you have sensitive skin – they’re less likely to cause skin reactions than chemical ingredients. Many sunscreens combine both chemical and physical fi lters. You can also look for the formulation and product “feel†that is right for you. There are quality sunscreen options available in lotions, gels, sticks and sprays. Many off er tinting, antiaging ingredients, a dry “sports†feel or benefi ts for acne-prone skin. There are now many skin care items like serums and moisturizers that include UV fi lters as well. The most important part is using the product correctly. How much, how often? You’ve selected an appropriate SPF, chosen a broad-spectrum formula and found a product that you like. But it won’t protect your skin if you don’t use it as directed. Understanding application is a must. Use one ounce of sunscreen, which is about the amount that would fi t into a shot glass, to cover the entire body. For the face, a nickel-sized dollop works. Slathering on sunscreen in the morning isn’t enough to protect you all day, though – when you apply matters. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends applying sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside, then reapplying every two hours and immediately after swimming or sweating. Water-resistant sunscreens typically off er 40 minutes or 80 minutes of protection while you’re in the water. However, no sunscreen is truly waterproof, so in these situations be aware of how long the product claims to protect against moisture – and keep an eye on the clock. With reapplication, a person should use up one four-ounce bottle of sunscreen during a full day outdoors. To find products that have earned the Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation for safe and eff ective sun protection, visit SkinCancer.org/ recommended-products. Safe sunscreen: one part of sun protection Now that you’ve picked out the sunscreen that’s right for you, it’s important to remember that no single sun protection method can protect you completely. The Skin Cancer Foundation has always recommended a multi-pronged approach to sun safety. While using sunscreen is a crucial part of any sun protection routine, it’s also important to seek shade and cover up with clothing, including a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses.

Dear Savvy Senior, I started drawing my Social Security retirement benefi ts back in 2021 when I was forced to retire early, but I’m now interested going back to work part-time. Will this affect my benefi ts, and if so, how much? Back to Work Dear Back, You can collect Social Security retirement benefits and work at the same time but depending on how old you are and how much you earn, some or all of your benefi ts could be temporarily withheld. Here’s how it works. SSA Earning Rules Social Security says that if you’re under your full retirement age and are collecting benefits, then you can earn up to $21,240 in 2023 without jeopardizing any of your Social Security if you don’t reach your full retirement age this year. But if you earn more than the $21,240 limit, you’ll lose $1 in benefi ts for every $2 over that amount. Full retirement age is 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954, but it rises in two-month increments every birth year to age 67 for those born in 1960 and later. You can fi nd your full retirement age at SSA.gov/benefi ts/retirement/planner/ageincrease.html. In the year you reach your Hammersmith - Saugus Classic Center Entrance Colonial in much desired Hammersmith Village on a quiet cul-de-sac. 8 inviting rooms, 2.5 baths and two-car garage. Asking $929,000 Paul Coogan Cell: 617-851-5381 Email: paul@bradhutchinson.com full retirement age, a less stringent rule applies. If that happens in 2023, you can earn up to $56,520 from January to the month of your birthday with no penalty. But if you earn more than $56,520 during that time, you’ll lose $1 in benefi ts for every $3 over that limit. And once your birthday passes, you can earn any amount by working without your benefi ts being reduced at all. Wages, bonuses, commissions, and vacation pay all count toward the income limits, but pensions, annuities, investment earnings, interest, capital gains and government or military retirement benefi ts do not. To fi gure out how much your specifi c earnings will affect your benefi ts, see the Social Security Retirement Earnings Test Calculator at SSA.gov/ OACT/COLA/RTeff ect.html. It’s also important to know that if you do lose some or all of your Social Security benefi ts because of the earning limits, they aren’t lost forever. When you reach full retirement age, your benefi ts will be recalculated to a higher amount to make up for what was withheld. For more information on how working can aff ect your Social Security benefits see SSA.gov/benefits/retirement/ planner/whileworking.html. Be Mindful of Taxes Too In addition to the Social Security rules, you need to factor in Uncle Sam too. Because working increases your income, it might make your Social Security benefi ts taxable. Here’s how it works. If the sum of your adjusted gross income, nontaxable interest, and half of your Social Security benefi ts is between $25,000 and $34,000 for individuals ($32,000 and $44,000 for couples), you have to pay tax on up to 50 percent of your benefi ts. Above $34,000 ($44,000 for couples), you could pay on up to 85 percent, which is the highest portion of Social Security that is taxable. About a third of all people who get Social Security have to pay income taxes on their benefi ts. For information, call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of publication 915 “Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefi ts,†or you can see it online at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/ p915.pdf. In addition to the federal government, 12 states – Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia – tax Social Security benefi ts to some extent too. If you live in one of these states, you’ll need to check with your state tax agency for details. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

SEND 90 PERCENT OF CAPITAL GAINS TAX REVENUE ABOVE $1 BILLION TO THE RAINY DAY FUND (S 3) Senate 3-36, rejected an amendment that would maintain the current 90/5/5 law under which 90 percent of the capital gains tax collections exceeding $1 billion goes to the Rainy Day Fund, 5 percent to the State Retiree Benefi ts Trust Fund and 5 percent to the State Retiree Benefi ts Trust Fund. The amendment would replace a pending 60/20/20 proposal that would send, in fi scal 2024 only, 60 percent of the $1 billion excess to the Rainy Day Fund while sending 20 percent to the State Retiree Benefi ts Trust Fund and 20 percent to the State Pension Liability Fund. Amendment supporters said it is essential to provide 90 percent to the Rainy Day Fund which helps bail out the state during slow economic times when tax revenues shrink. Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the sponsor of the amendment, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his amendment. Amendment opponents said the Rainy Day Fund is fl ush with $7 billion and argued these retiree and pension funds are currently underfunded and need some additional money for just one year. Senate Ways and Means Chair Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport) did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on his opposition to the amendment. (A “Yes†vote is for maintaining the current 90/5/5 formula. A “No†vote is for the 60/20/20 formula.) Sen. Lydia Edwards No $1 MILLION FIGHT HUNGER ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would provide $1 million to support a hungerfree campus initiative to address food insecurity at public colleges and junior colleges. “Unfortunately, too many students at our state 2- and 4-year colleges are food insecure,†said sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “This $1 million will support on-campus programming to address food insecurity, like mobile markets, SNAP enrollment assistance and more. I am grateful that the Senate recognizes the critical importance of addressing this issue. No one should have to learn on an empty stomach.†(A “Yes†vote is for the $1 million.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes $300,000 FOR DRINK SPIKING CRISIS (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would provide $300,000 for the state to develop, research and recommend strategies to address the rising incidence of reported drink spiking in the Bay State. The funds could also be used for a public awareness campaign about drink spiking and the bulk purchase of drink spiking test kits to be distributed at bars, restaurants and other nightlife establishments across the state. Drink spiking is when a person adds alcohol or other drugs to someone’s drink without their knowledge. This can lead to many things including sexual assault or the intent to hurt or steal from the person. “Over the last year alone the commonwealth has seen an alarming increase in the number of reported drink spiking incidents at bars, nightclubs, concert venues and even house parties across the commonwealth,†said sponsor Sen. Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough). “These incidents are all too common and we’ve seen countless warnings from law enforcement: ‘use the buddy system, cover your drink and don’t leave your drink unattended.’ Yet reports of these incidents persist and the commonwealth’s response is still catching up to the onslaught of these reports.†(A “Yes†vote is for the $300,000.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes ADDITIONAL $400,000 FOR THE PREVENTION OF HATE CRIMES (S 3) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would increase funding by $400,000 (from $400,000 to $800,000) for grants to schools for the prevention of hate crimes and incidences of bias in public schools. The grants would be used for education, professional development, prevention or community outreach, prioritizing schools that have experienced hate crimes or incidences of bias within the last two years. “With skyrocketing incidences of hate crimes and bias against people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, Jewish people and other minority groups, these programs are now more important than ever,†said sponsor Sen. Mike Moore (D-Millbury). “Addressing misinformed beliefs during children and teens’ formative years is the best strategy for preventing discriminatory behavior down the road, Hate has no home here in Massachusetts – I’m pleased to have received my colleagues’ support on this critical funding.†(A “Yes†vote is for the additional $400,000.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL PURCHASE ALCOHOL (H 369) – The Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee held a hearing on a bill that would allow liquor and retail store clerks to accept a valid photographic, non-duplicate motor vehicle license issued by other states as a valid form of ID to purchase liquor in the Bay State. “The commonwealth invites people from across the country to our sporting and live events, as well as to vacation and tour our historical sites,†said sponsor Rep. Paul McMurtry (D-Dedham). “It only makes sense that we allow our licensees to be able to serve these individuals using their state identifi cation. In addition, this will give our businesses and restaurants additional sales and help them recover from losses during the pandemic.†HIGHER EDUCATION HEARING – The Higher Education Committee held a hearing on several bills including: PROTECT STUDENTS STUDYBEACON | SEE Page 22 ׉ Ú7cassandra://GS34dTJ-c1HNXj32_aThQ2xno9X6uU5JdAsOSLskoGQÍ*–Í`Ì°Í×d‚WÑr+ÿ`¿Ïú׉EÚ ¯THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 2023 Page 21 ~ HELP WANTED ~ * PIZZA MAKERS * COUNTER HELP * DELIVERY DRIVERS Please call: (617) 259-4482 or in-person: 340 Central St., Saugus îîˆî„î‘î€î€²î˜î—î– î€ºîˆ î—î„îŽîˆ î„î‘î‡ î‡îŒî–î“î’î–îˆ î‰î•î’î î†îˆîîî„î•î–î€ î„î—î—îŒî†î–î€ îŠî„î•î„îŠîˆî–î€ îœî„î•î‡î–î€ îˆî—î†î€‘ î€ºîˆ î„îî–î’ î‡î’ î‡îˆîî’îîŒî—îŒî’î‘ îˆî–î— î€³î•îŒî†îˆî– î„îîî€ î€šî€›î€”î€î€˜î€œî€–î€î€˜î€– î€î€–î€î€•î€— WASTE REMOVAL & BUILDING MAINTENANCE • Landscaping, Lawn Care, Mulching • Yard Waste & Rubbish Removal • Interior & Exterior Demolition (Old Decks, Fences, Pools, Sheds, etc.) • Appliance and Metal Pick-up • Construction and Estate Cleanouts • Pick-up Truck Load of Trash starting at $169 • Carpentry LICENSED & INSURED Call for FREE ESTIMATES! î†îˆî€  î€î€•î€•î€— AAA Service • Lockouts Trespass Towing • Roadside Service Junk Car Removal 617-387-6877 26 Garvey St., Everett MDPU 28003 ICCMC 251976 RON’S OIL Call For PRICE 21 FIRST STREET MELROSE, MA 02176 NEW CUSTOMER’S WELCOME ACCEPTING VISA, MASTERCARD & DISCOVER (781) 397-1930 OR (781) 662-8884 100 GALLON MINIMUM   î’î‘ î€¦î’î‘î—î•î„î†î—îŒî‘îŠ î€¶î‘î’îš î€³îî’îšîŒî‘îŠ î€±î’ î€­î’î… î—î’î’ î–îî„îî î•îˆîˆ î–î—îŒîî„î—îˆî– î’îîîˆî•î†îŒî„î  îˆî–îŒî‡îˆî‘î—îŒî„î î€î€™î€˜î€™î€î€•î€“ î€ î€³î•î’î“îˆî•î—îœ îî„î‘î„îŠîˆîîˆî‘î— î€‰ îî„îŒî‘î—îˆî‘î„î‘î†îˆ î‹î’î™îˆîîŒî‘îŠ î€‰ î•îˆîî’î™î„î î„î‘î‡î–î†î„î“îŒî‘îŠî€ îîˆî†î—î•îŒî†î„îî€ î€³îî˜îî…îŒî‘îŠî€ î„îŒî‘î—îŒî‘îŠî€ î’î’î‘îŠî€ î„î•î“îˆî‘î—î•îœî€ î•î„îîŒî‘îŠî€ îˆî†îŽî–î€ î€©îˆî‘î†îŒî‘îŠî€ î„î–î’î‘î•îœî€ îˆîî’îîŒî—îŒî’î‘î€ î€ªî˜î—î€î’î˜î—î–î€ î€­î˜î‘îŽ î€µîˆîî’î™î„î  îŒî–î“îˆî•î–î„îî€ î€¦îîˆî„î‘ î€¸î“î–î€ î€¼î„î•î‡î–î€ î€ªî„î•î„îŠîˆî–î€ î€¤î—î—îŒî†î–  î„î–îˆîîˆî‘î—î– î•î˜î†îŽ î‰î’î• î€«îŒî•îˆî€ î’î…î†î„î— î€¶îˆî•î™îŒî†îˆî– We follow Social Distancing Guidelines!       ADVOCATE Call now! 781-286-8500 advertise on the web at www.advocatenews.net     î€î€–î€î€” î˜î„îîŒî—îœ î€¸î–îˆî‡ îŒî•îˆî– î’î˜î‘î—îˆî‡  î‘î–î—î„îîîˆî‡ î–îˆî‡ î˜î—î’ î€³î„î•î—î– î€‰ î„î—î—îˆî•îŒîˆî– î„îîŒîîœ î’îšî‘îˆî‡  î’î“îˆî•î„î—îˆî‡ î–îŒî‘î†îˆ  î•î„î‘îŽ î€¥îˆî•î„î•î‡îŒî‘î’ î€°î€¤ îŒî†îˆî‘î–îˆ î€–î€”î€›î€”î€”   î€ î€«î’î˜î• îˆî•î™îŒî†îˆ  îîˆî•îŠîˆî‘î†îœ îˆî“î„îŒî•î–  îî˜îî…îŒî‘îŠ î€‰ îˆî„î—îŒî‘îŠ î€µîˆî–îŒî‡îˆî‘î—îŒî„î  î’îîîˆî•î†îŒî„î îˆî•î™îŒî†îˆ î„î– î€©îŒî—î—îŒî‘îŠ î‚‡ î•î„îŒî‘ îˆî•î™îŒî†îˆ  îˆî‘îŒî’î• î€¦îŒî—îŒîîˆî‘ îŒî–î†î’î˜î‘î— Classifieds     ׉ Ú7cassandra://19J-4MjJ0EpZ4-TrZ7GfiM0NTrLoqzN6ok_R5c8Rw1AÍ4õÍ`Ì°Í×d‚WÑr+ÿ`¿Ïû×d‚WÑr+ÿ`¿ÏúÍ P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://ZpBxdaRtvKhVe33LRuLBdyQUxdLVX4PQx6S7YXerALQÎÐRÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://bt3L1_3vJE2dxr_EM8QdZeFts0sDiNEV-C6l7MdpG-QÍ›©Í`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://0evo7shvXbHP20EH4v-i0pIeg3qG0FOK9bngA8zUJB0Í*ÜÍ`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://FQrdGBrAIArH-X1p5WAYgtjEMp-JnWYkVWHj-hAeYa4ÎC­Í5òÍ ÍÅÍñ×d‚WÙr+ÿ`¿ÐPטšÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://kQqLNJU_QkLRvNeJRjb44grKaxrlo84Dp7AZjmYXf6UεiÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://YnQL__CQIgdTHPG-fWv6tdhYer2RA728dT736xohHDYÍš%Í`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://DmgbjIrSZpI2ml-hF_wGTrPypmyLkA13wtOxLJUQFNcÍ*êÍ`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://OGfzjTDA4qRZwsPFVcXsQEvF9LLHRF8UoHOYpLK2ZVgÎ]FÍÍ ÍÅÍñ×d‚WÚr+ÿ`¿ÐQ”× ×d‚WÚr+ÿ`¿ÐZÍðÍ"ÍÊ9×HÚ$http://Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma× × Ј× ×d‚WÚr+ÿ`¿ÐWÍvÍ/Ì÷9×Hºhttp://mangorealtyteam.com× × Ј× ×d‚WÚr+ÿ`¿ÐVͤÍyÍH9×HÚ)mailto:info@americanexteriorandwindow.com× × Ј× ×d‚WÚr+ÿ`¿ÐUÍ 3̨ÌÍ9×H½http://www.thewarrengroup.com× × Ј׉EÚpPage 22 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 2023 BEACON | FROM Page 20 ING ABROAD (S 820) – Would require high schools and colleges with programs that allow students to study abroad to prioritize health, safety and security in program development, implementation and management of study abroad programs. These programs would be required to conduct risk assessments for different portions of the program; establish protocols in case of an emergency; and provide statistics on any assaults, injuries or deaths that occur in these programs. Parents would be able to access this information to better understand whether a program is right for their child. “Study abroad programs provide valuable lessons and lifelong memories for students across our state, but we must ensure schools are responsible and care for our children’s safety,†said sponsor Sen. Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett). “By establishing safety and transparency protocols, I am confi dent that passing this legislation will help protect Massachusetts students learning abroad.†REQUIRE NARCAN IN COLLEGE DORMS AND HOUSING (S 849) – Would require all state universities that have dormitories or other housing for students to have Narcan or similar opioid antagonists in each college-operated housing building. Narcan is an emergency treatment used for the complete or partial reversal of opioid overdose.

HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of May 29June 2, the House met for a total of one hour and 55 minutes while the Senate met for a total of one hour and 39 minutes. Mon. May 29 No House session No Senate session Tues.
