Mayor proposes Malden’s first
inclusionary zoning ordinance
Requesting City Council support of historic
ordinance which promotes Affordable Housing
By Steve Freker
A
first-ever municipal ordinance
which would mandate
inclusion of affordable housing
units in new residential development
in the city of Malden is being
proposed by Mayor Gary Christenson.
Mayor Christenson will be
submitting a proposal for Malden’s
fi rst inclusionary zoning ordinance
at the next Malden City Council
meeting, for the City Council’s review.
The inclusionary zoning ordinance
is the culmination of two
years of review, research and conversations
with community members
and experts.
Mayor Christenson has cited
aff ordable housing as a longstanding
goal of the administration.
The purpose of the orMalden
history, having topped
the ticket in three consecutive
municipal elections. There
will not be a fourth time, nor a
race for a fi fth two-year term, as
Councillor-at-Large Debbie DeMaria’s
campaign committee
announced this week she would
not be seeking reelection in this
fall’s municipal voting.
First elected to the City Council
in 2013, Councillor DeMaria
won her seat in impressive fashion
in her fi rst try at a citywide
post and just her second city
campaign. In her fi rst foray into
the local political arena, she had
won a two-year term on the Malden
School Committee, representing
Ward Three.

Additionally, it will serve
to mitigate the impacts of new

integrated community by promoting
diverse aff ordable housing
opportunities.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 7, 2021
DEMARIA | FROM PAGE 1
The DeMaria Committee announcement
throws more fuel
on what is promising to be a
red-hot municipal election this
fall as she is the second of three
incumbent at-large City Councillors
to reveal they are not
seeking reelection. Two-term
incumbent Councillor Stephen
Winslow announced earlier this
year that he, too, would not seek
reelection to his at-large seat,
though he did declare himself
a candidate for the open Ward
Six Councillor post being vacated
by David Camell, who is not
seeking a third term.
First time in history for
two Councillor-at-Large
seats in same election
According to local political
observers, it is believed to be
perhaps the fi rst time in municipal
history that there are two
Councillor-at-Large seats in the
same election.
“I believe spending time together
is the best gift one can receive.
My time in public service
these past 10 years was truly
that gift. I’m proud of what we’ve
accomplished,” DeMaria said in a
personal statement released on
Wednesday afternoon.
She thanked her many supporters
who have sent her to
the City Council four times in
the past decade. “To say I am
the only woman in Malden’s history
to top the ballot not once
but three consecutive terms;
no doubt gives me great delight...
But, I owe it all to you!”
DeMaria said. “Thank you to my
colleagues and our administration
that I’ve had the pleasure to
serve with. I have learned from
each of you.”
A councillor who some say
treated the entire population
of Malden as family in the many
causes and issues she supported
and delved into, DeMaria pointed
to her own loved ones as her
strongest support base. “Obviously
public service is a family
commitment. So I’d like to
take this opportunity to publicly
thank my husband and best
friend, Al, for keeping me centered
and laughing! I’m excited
for the next chapter of my life as I
proudly pass the baton to a new
generation of Malden’s public
servants,” she said.
DeMaria’s interests,
passions varied...
and many

Her interests and passions
were varied... and many in her
10 years of public service. “Councillor
DeMaria has concentrated
on the principles of safety and
security during her public service
career, notably encouraging
continuity of government
by pivoting to Zoom meetings
during the early stages of the
COVID-19 pandemic,” according
to a statement from her
committee.
As City Council President in
2018, DeMaria developed a
new set of City Council rules that
promote community participation
through public comment.

Malden ready to embark on extensive, $4.7 million
underground pipe evaluation/replacement project
City Council Finance Committee reviews
and approves plan, sends it forward
By Steve Freker
E
ven Superman’s X-ray vision
would not be an asset
to the City of Malden as it
embarks on one its most comprehensive
and important infrastructure
maintenance projects
in years, especially when you
are considering the expected
detection of faulty or damaged
water pipes as well as lead service
pipes leading to residential
units.
As Councillor-at-Large Stephen
Winslow put it at Tuesday
night’s City Council Finance
Committee meeting, “This is
critical work that is ‘out of sight,
out of mind’ for our residents,
but so very necessary for us to
address. This [project] will aff ect
generations to come.”
At the conclusion of a lengthy
discussion and review of various
details, the Finance Committee
voted unanimously, 5-0, to approve
the City of Malden’s acceptance
of no-interest loans
totaling some $4.7 million from
the Massachusetts Water Resources
Authority (MWRA) that
will fund a fi ve-year project that
will identify, assess and replace
water pipes that may be damaged
or otherwise faulty around
the city. Some 28 streets will be
included in the city, spread out
in several neighborhoods, including
approximately 11 miles
of pipe in all. In the city of Malden
overall, there are over 100
miles of underground sewer
pipes, according to city offi cials.
The main impetus for this
project is the increasing amount
of groundwater that is present
in the Malden water system
– primarily caused by faulty
pipes – that must be treated
by MWRA systems at a per gallon
cost. The MWRA has also instructed
the City of Malden that
it must address compliance issues
with its water quality and
water collection systems as it
pertains to groundwater/stormwater
entry to the water system,
city offi cials said.
An explanatory presentation
of the issues and the proposed
$4.7 million, five-year
project was made by city engineer
Yem Lip and the city’s
Chief Financial Offi cer, Charles
Ranaghan, who both stressed
the importance of this key project,
which has extensive, related
financial ramifications for
the city down the road. The
city must pay the MWRA to
would be addressed by this
project.
The project in question actually
originated in 2019, according
to city offi cials. Ranaghan
recalled to the City Council that
initial approval was given by the
City Council in that year: the goahead
for a $2.6 million, zero-interest
MWRA loan. The project
has been on hold, like other
infrastructure maintenance

City Engineer
treat excess water from infl ow
and infi ltration (“I&I”), which is
caused when stormwater (inflow)
and groundwater (infiltration)
enter a wastewater system.
This water, which ideally
should drain into the ground
or be routed to storm drains,
can easily overload wastewater
systems. This can cause sewage
overfl ows to creeks, backups in
basements and impaired operations,
among other challenges.
Ranaghan and Lip explained
that improving the city’s sewer
pipes would lessen the creation
of “I&I” and therefore lower
the MWRA water treatment
assessments.
In addition to identifying
pipes which may be repaired
with new linings, there will
also be replacements made for
some lead service pipes. Some
of both of these targets are already
on a city waiting list and

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 7, 2021
Malden: Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday –
IACC bocce season begins
By Peter F. Levine
T
he first night of bocce at
the Italian American Citizen’s
Club (IACC) on Pearl Street
is one of the most joyous days
of the calendar year in Malden,
akin to any holiday that is celebrated.
In Edgeworth it goes
Easter, Christmas, Dom Fermano’s
birthday, then opening
night of bocce season. For you
naysayers or Doubting Thomases
out there, continue reading
if not for the sake of this article
but for the sake of your own
peace of mind. Wait, I cribbed
that last part from Eric Burden.
Forgive me. The stars came out
on this glorious late April night:
not too warm, not too cold, perfect
evening for bocce ball – the
acrid smell of New England Coffee
in the air mingling with the
aromatic bouquet offered up by
Joe Crowley’s “Sinatra Pizza Pies”
at “Pisa Pizza.” The night had all
the earmarks of turning into one
of the best nights evah!

doesn’t have enough on that
overflowing plate of his (new
trash carts rolled out the week
before, the ongoing COVID crisis,
the budget, the bus and bike
lane controversy – oh vey!), he
nonetheless found time to stop
by, drop a few words in Italian,
showcase his love for Italy with
a great “Italy” t-shirt and throw
out the ceremonial first bocce
ball of the season. His southpaw
deliveries drawing comparisons
by onlookers of other lefty
standouts like Sandy Koufax, Bill
Lee and Joe Levine. IACC President
Billy Settemio (smiling ear
to ear without the assistance of
any controlled substances mind
you) introduced hizzoner to the
many members gathered social
distance–style, masks up. The
Dante Club guys sorta just stood
around and stared quizzically,
but Maldonians in the crowd
gave the mayor a hearty round
of applause. It is always appreciated
when Gary takes time out
for neighborhood events or traditions
– always going the extra
mile. No fake news there!
Councillor-at-Large Craig
Spadafora, although not a bocce
player, showed support for
the festivities, holding court as
only a Spadafora can. Thank
you, Craig. Another elected official
that always shows up! Ward
2 Councilor Paul Condon, looking
extra sharp with his hair
newly shorn, presided over the
evening with his usual flare, his
resolute presence always welcome
in these uneven political
times we live in. Johnny Spadafora
even stopped by. John was
present to support participating
family members, which included
just about every person
in the club! Except Marty Murphy
of course. Another Spadafora
with more charisma than
should be allowed. Malden Police
Chief Kevin Molis (FranMayor
Gary Christenson threw out the first bocce ball of the
year at the Italian American Citizen’s Club on Monday, April 19.

ny and Joe’s brother) was also
on hand, as always. He never,
ever misses any of the big bocce
nights at the club. The IACC is
located right in the middle of his
neighborhood. Kevin reminds
me of Sheriff Taylor of Mayberry
– a down-to-earth neighborhood
guy all the way. A rested,
tanned and (purple) masked up
Sal “Butchie” Gennetti had a noticeable
bounce to his step this
night as he had his BFF, Animal
Control Officer Kevin Alkins, as
his good luck charm by his side.
Oh yeah, the matches. Johnny
“The Italian Rapscallion” Cagno’s
team faced off against some
formidable opponents, Kevin
Giampa’s stacked squad. After
some fast and furious action,
the teams split. John conceded
after the matches that it would
be a long, grueling season but
having teammates like Butchie,
Jimmy “Cooch” Carducci, Matt
“The Cerebral Assassin” Cagno,
Carl Lipani, Anthony “Handsome
Anthony” Cagno, Johnny Ragosa,
Mike “Handsome Mike” Cagno
and David “Handsome Dave”
Cagno certainly guarantees the
year will not be boring. Thanks
for the update, John, hope to
hear from you soon.
It is said in Malden: today, tomorrow,
and yesterday...

taking three of five matches
from “The Rock ‘n Roll Express,”
Derek “The Big Kahuna” O’Brien
and Tommy “Tommy Gunn”
Czar, the Battlin’ Bs were spotted
strutting around the outdoor
piazza like banty roosters!
Stay in the moment guys, enjoy
and congrats once again!
Captain Glenn Cronin did
not get demoted as some may
have surmised a few weeks back
when I called him Lt. Cronin. If
not for loyal, eagle-eyed readers
like (soon to be good friend)
Captain Paul Hopkins, this rookie
mistake would not have been
noticed. My apologies to Captain
Cronin and to you Captains
Cronin and Hopkins, a promise
to spend more time proofreading
my article and less time at
my designated bar stool at the
IACC chatting up Dave Angelo.
Just heard the Joe South classic
“Don’t It Make You Wanna
Go Home.” Call me old but I am
taking an educated guess here
and saying that 20 years from
now they’ll still be playing this
Joe South tune and not something
called “WAP” by somebody
named Cardi B.

When Butchie Russell heard
news of the rumor, his fi rst word
was “psyched!” True story. If you
have ever dined or partook in
fruit of the vine at the old Bambino’s
Restaurant (formerly the
Stadium Café and currently the
site of John Brewers Tavern), you
know Butchie. If you have ever
been a member of the Irish American
Club, you know Butch. If you
have participated in any veteran’s
event in the city in the past
50 years or so, you know Butch.
In the fi rst installment of “Famous
Quotes Uttered by Famous
Maldonians” segment, I
bring to you this instant classic
from restaurateur, raconteur
and righteous cat Richie Cremone:
“I enjoyed being 20 in the
1970s but not 70 on the 2020s.”
If you have ever dined on roasted
potatoes and steak tips at
the old Brandano’s Restaurant
bar, you know Richie. (He may
not have talked to you, but you
knew who he was). If you ever
entered Cremone’s Restaurant
(formerly Tricca’s & Cai’s Playoff
Pub) and stood in fear for your
life while you watched Richie’s
face contort in anger as he
walked out of the kitchen and
saw his bar full of gangsters,
lowlifes and ruffi ans, you know
Richie. If you have ever had the
pleasure of tasting Richie’s famous
chicken soup or skiff tskaf,
you know Richie.
Sincerest condolences go
out to “Big John Jr.” from East
Boston (and the whole DiMille
family) on the loss of his father,
“Big John Sr.” from East Boston.
ORDINANCE | FROM PAGE 1
of the Malden Housing Needs
Assessment of 2019, the Inclusionary
Zoning Feasibility Study
of 2021, the Aff ordable Housing
Trust Fund Action Plan of 2021
and the Malden Master Plan of
2010. Inclusionary zoning will
require a percentage of housing
units in new residential developments
to be set aside as below-market
aff ordable housing.
The proposal was drafted with
Malden’s housing market and
housing needs in mind. An advisory
group made up of City of
Malden and Malden Redevelopment
Authority (MRA) staff ,
City Councillors and the Aff ordable
Housing Trust Fund Board
members met regularly to work
on the draft that is proposed.
Levine Planning Strategies and
Colliers International served as
consultants in the process and
conducted a feasibility study,
which was funded by contributions
from the City, MRA and
Malden Housing Authority and
If you got your bounce on at
the old Palace on 99 back in the
day, you were probably dancing
to “DJ Johnny D” (straight outta
Orient Heights) and his boogie
down beats. Brother Joe and I
send our love out to your whole
family, “Big John.” Go Spartans!
“This is the end, beautiful
friend, this is the end, my only
friend, the end” – Mario Pallotta
has, sadly, left the building.
Bigger than life, Mario Pallotta
joins his son Kenny (“The Bear”)
in that great big produce market
in the sky. Every single person
who knew Mario mourns. That
ain’t hyperbole. We all loved
Mario. He came into most of
our Malden lives a total stranger
but left us a beloved, cherished
member of our community.
The YMCA was his stampin’
ground, the friendships he
made there, legendary – his storytelling
just as legendary – his
smile, his laugh, his passion endearing
him to one and all. We
will never forget you, Mario. My
sincerest condolences to his
wife of 60 years, Claire, and to
his entire family.
Postscript 1: Us old Y guys
were hit hardest by the news of
Mario’s passing. That is where
we fell in love with the big guy
– back row of the Health Club
where, for a short period of time,
we shared an aisle with (the late)
Joe Croken. Listening to Joe and
Mario ramble on about this or
that was what made the Y experience
in those days something
really special. Frankie Russell
from the Malden Historical
Society was another of those
Y guys hit in the gut by Mario’s
passing: “Did you see a week or
two ago Mario Pallotta passed
away? You remember him from
the old men’s health club at the
a grant from East Boston Savings
Bank.
The feasibility study included
a thorough review of Malden’s
housing needs, a market analysis,
interviews with market-rate
and aff ordable housing developers
and owners, and a fi nancial
model to test the impacts
of inclusionary requirements on
prototypical developments. The
goal was to develop a policy that
would maximize the potential
for new aff ordable units without
preventing new construction
altogether. Councillor-at-Large
Craig Spadafora, who is Chair of
the Ordinance Committee, was
a member of the advisory group
– as well as Councillor-at-Large
Steve Winslow.
The draft ordinance will be
referred to the Ordinance Committee,
which will allow the City
Council to have a comprehensive
discussion on the details of
the proposal, review the feasibility
study and meet with Levine
Planning Strategies.
Y! He always brought the clementine’s
to “The Chowhounds”
dinners at the East Side AA. First
time I had a clementine was
when I got to take a box home
from a Chowhounds Christmas
party at the East Side, must have
been in like 1991 or 1992. I always
remember him for doing
that. And what the hell do you
think I was peeling as I turned
the page in the Advocate and
saw his obit, yup, a clementine!
No lie! Isn’t that a coincidence!?
He’s up there with Joe Croken
right now after a ‘Steve Caiazzo
Executive Workout’ setting up a
heavenly Chowhound’s Feast.
I miss the ‘Steve Caiazzo Businessman’s
Workout’ with all the
regulars like Mario, Joe C, Ralph
K, Mario Cantone, Frank L, Billy
Coleman. Gab about nothing,
watch some TV, take a steam,
take more steam, hang out
some more, then get dressed
and have a beer. Those were the
days my friend. Miss ya Mario.”
Postscript 2: This from his obituary
had me emotional from the
get-go. Mario in a nutshell: “A
kind man with an easy smile, his
blue eyes lit up every room he
entered. Never one to shy away
from off ering his opinion when
asked, his friendships spanned
seven decades. A devout family
man, always spending time with
his children and grandchildren.
His devotion to his best friend,
his wife Claire, was evident as
they were always together, seven
days a week for more than 60
years. A tireless, old fashioned
work ethic that had him up at
2:30 am, six days a week, right
up until his untimely passing, to
his second home the ‘Produce
Market’ in Chelsea, where he
owned and operated M.A. Pallotta
Brokerage Co. for over 50
years. An honest man that believed
his word and last name
were his bond.”
You created a business.
And a community.

four weeks, with some
teams playing games already,
and others, like Malden and
Somerville, spending the last
few weeks preparing for official
game competition.
On Saturday, with a 1:00 p.m.
kickoff, Malden will break the
18-month drought and host
Medford at Macdonald Stadium
on Pearl Street in Game #133 of
the heralded series. With the absence
of other long-played series
this year, it is believed that
Malden High-Medford High will
take on the status of the longest
continuous high school football
rivalry in the United States
– since 1889!
“It’s a lot different, that’s for
sure, but the players are very
excited they are able to play
some games this year, especially
our seven seniors,” said thirdyear
Malden High head coach
Steve Freker.
Malden will close out its shortened
season with another home

the future of the community.
They were also interested in
how this project could be expanded

has a citywide impact on our financial
future.”
Ward 4 Councillor Ryan
O’Malley, who has been a consistent
advocate for lead pipe
replacement and other water
and sewer infrastructure projects
in his two terms, said that
it would be worth considering
targeting a pipe repair/replacement
project expansion
in the city with funds coming to
the city from the federal American
Rescue Plan. Some $46 million
is expected in preliminary
numbers. “At the current pace,
it would take close to 100 years
to do the entire city; maybe we
should be looking to expand
this project and address more

O’Malley said.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 7, 2021
Middlesex Sheriff’s Office using wastewater
analysis to monitor for COVID
Middlesex Jail & House of Correction the first county jail to partner with Cambridge-based Biobot Analytics
B
ILLERICA, Mass. – The Middlesex
Jail & House of Correction
has become the first
county correctional facility in
the nation to partner with Cambridge-based
Biobot Analytics
to monitor and identify the presence
of COVID-19 in wastewater,
Middlesex Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian
announced this week.
“We’re excited to work with
Biobot on this new initiative,” said
Sheriff Koutoujian. “Throughout
this pandemic, our decision-making
has been medically driven
and guided by the science. Partnering
with Biobot – a national
leader in wastewater epidemiology
– enhances our ongoing efforts
and will allow us to detect
any re-emergence of COVID-19
inside our facility and act rapidly
to mitigate it.”
Sewage contains valuable
information on human health
because viruses, bacteria and
chemical metabolites are excreted
in urine and stool. Through
wastewater epidemiology, Biobot
Analytics uses the data present
in wastewater to gain valuable
insights that shape the
health of communities.
Throughout the COVID-19
pandemic, Biobot has worked
with communities across North
America to measure SARS-CoV-2
trends in sewage. Because of
the early onset of viral shedding,
wastewater data has been
shown to be a reliable leading
indicator of COVID-19 cases. This
allows officials to make more informed
decisions on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction
basis.
“Sheriff Koutoujian and his
team are pioneers in their adoption
of wastewater epidemiology
to monitor and promote the
health of the community living
in the Middlesex Jail & House
of Correction,” said Biobot President
& Cofounder Newsha
Ghaeli. “As we move into the later
stages of the pandemic, it’s even
more important to have early-warning
methods to detect
COVID-19 outbreaks. Equipped
with better data, the Sheriff’s Office
is well positioned to make
better decisions, and we hope
other counties across the country
will follow in their footsteps.”
The initial four weeks of samples
collected at the Middlesex
Jail & House of Correction have
shown levels of COVID in wastewater
that have been consistent
with the results of direct testing
involving incarcerated individuals.
The most recent two samples
analyzed by Biobot found
no detected COVID-19. That
finding is in line with the results
of COVID-19 testing conducted
on 54 incarcerated individuals
that showed zero positive cases.
“The results of the samples analyzed
by Biobot show the processes
and procedures we have
put in place – including testing,
mask wearing and quarantining
of newly admitted individuals
– continue to be effective in
mitigating the impact of COVID
at the Middlesex Jail & House of
Correction,” said Sheriff Koutoujian.
“The information gathered
through the Biobot testing is
providing us with an additional
crucial layer of confirmation.”
The efforts the Middlesex
Sheriff’s Office (MSO) have
undertaken over the past 14
months have been highlighted
nationally during recent conferences
hosted by the National
Commission on Correctional
Health Care (NCCHC) and the
American Jail Association (AJA).
In addition, a peer-reviewed
publication focused on data collected
and analyzed about vaccine
enthusiasm and hesitancy
among incarcerated individuals
and staff at the Middlesex Jail &
House of Correction will be published
in an upcoming edition
of the Journal of Urban Health.
Samples are being collected
weekly for 26 weeks utilizing
an automated sampler that has
been installed at the Middlesex
Jail & House of Correction. MSO
staff will deliver samples directly
to Biobot, reducing shipping time
and allowing the office to receive
results sooner. As part of the testing,
the MSO has also opted into
Biobot’s variant detection program,
with any positive samples
further examined for the presence
of the variant first detected
in the United Kingdom (B.1.1.7).
In addition to working with Biobot,
the MSO has recently installed
ultraviolet (UV) germicidal irradiation
disinfection equipment in
the HVAC system that provides
air to and from the Health Services
Unit (HSU) at the Middlesex Jail &
House of Correction. The UV system
improves air quality by killing
the COVID-19 virus in the HVAC
system. All incarcerated individuals
who test positive for COVID-19
are placed in the HSU.
“The deployment and implementation
of these innovative
systems in our jail highlights our
ongoing focus on COVID-19,”
said Sheriff Koutoujian. “Moving
forward, we hope to continue
to work with Biobot to conduct
surveillance testing that
will help maintain a healthy, safe
environment for our staff and
those in our custody.”
Future uses for the Biobot
technology at the Middlesex Jail
& House of Correction could include
facility level monitoring for
areas ranging from opioids to infectious
diseases and influenza.

MSO’s ongoing COVID-19 response,

Administration Celebrates COVID-19
Business Relief Program, Awards Final Round of Grants
Final round results in nearly $4.8 million in grant awards to 108 additional businesses; more than
$687 million in direct cash payments delivered to 15,112 of state’s hardest hit businesses
L
OWELL –Governor Charlie
Baker, Lt. Governor Karyn
Polito, Housing and Economic
Development Secretary Mike
Kennealy, legislators and key partners
on Thursday celebrated the
success of the Baker-Polito Administration’s
COIVD-19 business
relief program administered by
the Massachusetts Growth Capital
Corporation (MGCC). Gathering
in person at the family- and
minority-owned Panela Restaurant
in Lowell, a program grantee,
the Administration announced
the end of the program, which
has provided over $687.2 million
in direct cash grants to 15,112
businesses across the Commonwealth.
Among the awardees included
in the final round were
108 additional businesses that
received a total of approximately
$4.8 million in COVID relief grants.
First launched in October 2020
as part of the Administration’s
Partnerships for Recovery initiative
to stabilize and grow the
Massachusetts economy, this
program became the biggest

state-sponsored business relief
program in the nation after being
infused with an additional $668
million in December. Established
to provide direct financial support
for businesses, the Administration
has tapped numerous
partners to ensure specific economic
sectors and priority demographics
known to be the most
impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic
applied to the program
and were prioritized for aid.
Over the duration of the program,
43 percent of MGCC grants
were awarded to minority-owned
businesses, and 46 percent of
grants went to women-owned
businesses. Businesses owned by
veterans, individuals with disabilities,
or that identify as LGBTQ, as
well as those operating in Gateway
Cities and not previously
awarded aid, also received substantial
grant support. Additionally,
one-third of the total program
funding (about $224 million)
has benefited the hard-hit
restaurant and bar industry, with
personal services like hair and nail
salons ($91 million), and independent
retailers ($62 million) rounding
out the top sectors.
“Thanks to the work of Mass.
Growth Capital, more than $680
million in direct financial assistance
has been deployed to over
15,000 businesses across Massachusetts,
many of which are located
in the communities that have
had the greatest need during this
pandemic,” said Governor Charlie
Baker. “Recognizing that our
small business community employed
close to half the Commonwealth’s
workforce prior to
the pandemic, this program has
been instrumental in helping
to keep these enterprises going
while supporting a substantial
percentage of our workforce as
we approach what we hope are
the final months of this public
health crisis.”
“This program, which was designed
to provide vital support to
small businesses in need, is one
component of our larger strategy
to help the Commonwealth’s economic
recovery from this unprecedented
public health emergency,”
said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito.
“I want to applaud MGCC for their
success with this program and

THE HOUSE AND SENATE.
Beacon Hill Roll Call records local
representatives’ and senators’
votes on roll calls from the week
of April 26-30. All the House roll
calls are on the House version of
a $47.7 billion fiscal 2022 state
budget for the fiscal year that
begins on July 1, 2021.
A LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES
OF THE BUDGET “DEBATE”
Most of the decisions on
which representatives' amendments
are included or not included
in the budget are made
“behind closed doors.” Or in the
COVID-19 era, “behind closed
Zoom meetings.” Of the 1,157
budget amendments proposed,
most of them were bundled into
consolidated “mega” amendments.
This year there were seven
mega amendments and all
but one, which had just one vote
against it, were approved unanimously.
There is no real “debate”
on the House floor. Everyone
who spoke on any of the consolidated
amendments spoke
in favor of them.
The system works as follows:
Individual representatives file
amendments on various topics.
All members then pitch their
amendments to Democratic
leaders who draft consolidated
amendments that include
some of the individual representatives’
amendments while
excluding others.
The categories of consolidated
amendments include some
16 subjects including programs
relating to public safety, judiciary
energy, environmental affairs,
housing, labor and economic
development.
Supporters of the system say
that any representative who
sponsored an excluded amendment
can bring it to the floor
and ask for an up or down vote
on the amendment itself. They
say this system has worked well
for many years.
Opponents say that rarely, if
ever, does a member bring his
or her amendment to the floor
for an up-or-down vote because
that is not the way the
game is played. It is an “expected
tradition” that you accept
the fate of your amendment
as determined by Democratic
leaders.
Rep. Erika Uyterhoeven
(D-Somerville) was the only
member who voted against
one of the consolidated amendments.
“It is worth noting
that [my] ‘no’ vote is the only
non-unanimous vote taken for
the entire House budget, showing
how little transparency, public
debate and public accountability
there is in the House budget
process,” she said.
HOUSE APPROVES $47.7
BILLION FISCAL 2022 BUDGET
(H 4000)
House 160-0, approved and
sent to the Senate a $47.7 billion
fiscal 2022 state budget for
the fiscal year that begins on
July 1, 2021. The House, over
three days, added $59.8 million
to the bill. The House version
now goes to the Senate
which will approve a different
version. A House-Senate conference
committee will eventually
craft a plan that will be presented
to the House and Senate
for consideration and sent
to the governor.
“This budget meets the needs
of our residents who have endured
an unprecedented level
of health and economic challenges
over the past year,” said
House Speaker Ron Mariano
(D-Quincy). “The House continues
to support the services
and programs that have proven
to be essential for so many,
while making targeted investments
to grow the Massachusetts
economy.”
Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante
(D-Gloucester), vice chair of the
House Ways & Means Committee
said, “The economic development
measures and strong
social service supports position
Massachusetts to recover
from the pandemic and continue
growing.”
“Budgets are more than line
items and spreadsheets” said
Rep. Jack Lewis (D-Framingham),
co-chair of the House Progressive
Caucus which hailed
the budget. “Budgets are promises
to support all the residents
of the commonwealth and invest
in our shared future. This
House budget embodies the
deepest commitments of our
commonwealth by raising the
Conservation Land Tax Credit,
increasing support for families
living in deep poverty and
expanding funding to civil legal
aid, emergency housing assistance
and public education.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the budget).
Rep. Paul Donato Yes
Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes
CONTINUE THE FILM TAX
CREDIT (H 4000)
House 160-0, approved an
amendment that would indefinitely
extend the film tax credit
which is due to expire at the
end of 2022. According to the
Massachusetts Film Office, the
state provides filmmakers with
a package of tax incentives including
a 25 percent production
credit, a 25 percent payroll
credit and a sales tax exemption.
Any project that spends
more than $50,000 in Massachusetts
qualifies for the payroll
credit. Spending more than
50 percent of the total budget
or filming at least 50 percent
of the principal photography
days in the Bay State makes the
project eligible for the production
credit and the sales tax exemption.
“Since
the inception of the
film tax credit in 2006, $2.8 billion
in economic development
has flowed into Massachusetts,
stimulating many businesses
that previously were not here,
and creating new employment
opportunities for thousands
of people,” said the amendment’s
sponsor Rep. Tackey
Chan (D-Quincy). “It is essential,
especially in light of the pandemic,
that the commonwealth
continues to champion job preservation,
growth and continued
investments in our local businesses.”
(A
“Yes” vote is for the amendment).
Rep.
Paul Donato Yes
Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes
EXPAND CONSERVATION
LAND TAX CREDIT (H 4000)
House 160-0, approved an
amendment that would expand
the existing Conservation
Land Tax Credit by raising
the annual cap for this program
from $2 million to $5 million
over a three-year period, beginning
on January 1, 2022. The
increase would remain in place
until December 31, 2031. This
state tax credit provides an incentive
for land with significant
conservation value to be donated
to public and private conservation
agencies. The tax credit
is equal to 50 percent of the
fair market value of the donated
property, up to a maximum
credit of $75,000.
Supporters explained that
the tax credit has already resulted
in the permanent protection
of some 14,000 acres of
land valued at over $76.5 million.
They noted that for 2021,
the maximum $2 million in tax
credits has already been committed
to 33 projects that will
protect about 1,954 additional
acres. They said that leaves 83
additional projects representing
another 1,482 acres of land on
a waiting list with some of the
projects expected to be waiting
until at least 2024 to receive
the tax credit.
“The recent passage of the
2050 Roadmap bill recognized
that naturally occurring carbon
sequestration is a very
important component of the
state’s ability to reach its short
and long-term goals for reducing
carbon emissions,” said
House Minority Leader Brad
Jones (R-North Reading), the
sponsor of the amendment.
“Increasing the tax credit program’s
annual cap will help to
clear up the backlog of projects
that are currently pending
and will reap significant
environmental benefits for the
commonwealth.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the amendment).

Paul Donato Yes

CONSOLIDATED AMENDMENT
ON PUBLIC SAFETY AND
JUDICIARY (H 4000)
House 158-1, approved a $5.3
million consolidated amendment
that funds public safety
and judiciary programs. This is
the only consolidated amendment
which did not receive a
unanimous vote.
“I am proud of the work we
did in the House of Representative
to provide for our cities
and town's local public safety
needs,” said Rep. Carlos Gonzalez
(D-Springfield), the House
chair of the Public Safety and
Homeland Security Committee.
“Chief among our accomplishments
is our commitment
to process all untested sexual
assault evidence kits within
180 days of the budget's passage.
This is an essential step towards
providing the justice that
all of these survivors of sexual
assault are owed.”
"This amendment represents
the values of our commonwealth,”
said Rep. Michael Day
(D-Stoneham) the House chair
of the Committee on the Judiciary.
“These … investments
seek to help the marginalized,
keep our communities safe and
continue our march towards
equal justice under the law, for
all our residents.”
“I voted no because this
amendment increased both
funding for the State Police and
the Department of Corrections
by $1 million and $500,000 respectively,”
said Rep. Erika Uyterhoeven
(D-Somerville). “While
there is good language on sexual
assault evidence kit testing
and spending accountability on
ICE, I cannot vote for an amendment
that increases funding to
institutions that commit overtime
fraud or force horrific living
conditions on incarcerated people.
At the very least, we must
increase accountability before
increasing spending. It is worth

cations, Utilities and Energy.
“Housing is central to the
well-being of individuals and
families across the commonwealth,”
said James Arciero
(D-Westford), House chair of
the Housing Committee. “Massachusetts
is a high-cost state
and this impacts the ability of
our residents to gain and retain
decent aff ordable housing.
This budget provides historic
funding for our housing
programs as we prioritize this
basic, fundamental need of our
citizens.”
“The House has crafted a
bold budget that matches our
ambitions in the fi ght against
climate change and for the
commonwealth’s clean energy
future,” said Rep. Jeff rey Roy
(D-Franklin), House chair of the
Committee on Telecommuni“Climate
science and policy is
complicated and demands the
actions articulated in this budget
to avoid what is essentially
the most signifi cant existential
challenge of our time. It builds
on the recently signed climate
bill, which increases our commitment
to off shore wind in
the commonwealth to 5600
megawatts.”
"Our prioritization of these essential
environmental programs
will protect and preserve our
natural resources and outdoor
spaces, as well as set a sustainable
and resilient course for the

“If there is a common thread
in these House budget line
items, it is that we are investing

Cutler (D-Duxbury), House chair
of the Committee on Labor and
Workforce Development. “Let’s
face it, we don’t have the best
weather, year-round sunshine,
an abundance of gold, silver or
vast oil reserves. Our greatest
resource as a commonwealth
is our people. We all know that
what powers Massachusetts
is our skilled workforce. The
House budget continues these
investments in our workforce
and builds on them in signifi -
cant ways.”
“As we work our way out of
this pandemic it is critical that
the commonwealth play a vital
role in supporting the growth
of our economy and make targeted
investments in areas that

SENATE APPROVES $400
MILLION FOR NEW SOLDIERS’
HOME IN HOLYOKE (S 2439)
Senate 40-0, approved a
bill authorizing $400 million
to fund the construction of a
new Soldiers’ Home in Holyoke.
The push to construct the
new home follows the deaths
of 77 veteran residents last year
as a result of a COVID-19 outbreak
at the current facility. The
House has already approved a
diff erent version of the bill and
a conference committee will
likely hammer out a compromise
version.
The measure also provides
$200 million to increase geographic
equity and accessibility
of long-term care services for
Bay State veterans with a focus
on areas that are not primarily
served by the soldiers’ homes
in Chelsea or Holyoke.
The Baker Administration and
House and Senate leaders are
all trying to speed the bill’s passage
in order to meet deadlines
to apply for as much as $260 million
in funding from the federal
government, which would leave
state taxpayers with a $140 milAttendees

“Massachusetts has always
been a leader for veteran services,
and this bill refl ects the
Senate’s deep commitment
to those who have served our
nation,” said Sen. John Velis
(D-Westfi eld), Senate Chair of
the Committee on Veterans and
Federal Aff airs. “While our veteran
population and their medical
needs are changing, the

remains the same: to provide
care with honor and dignity.

care with honor and dignity that
they have earned in service to
our country.”
“To meet the needs of the ever-changing
veteran population,
the bill adopted today is a
reflection of the strong advocacy
of the members of this Senate
to begin providing the longterm
care services desperately
needed for all veterans across
the commonwealth,” said Sen.
Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport),
chair of the Senate Committee
on Ways and Means.
“The funding in this bill will
ensure that we begin to rethink
how we deliver care to veterans
of every generation across Massachusetts,”
said Senate President
Karen Spilka (D-Ashland).
“Ensuring that our veterans are
connected to their communities
is an important factor in ensuring
that their physical and
mental health is taken care of,
and so I am proud of the steps
we have taken to ensure geographic
equity and accessibility,
especially for our women
and LGBTQ veterans, as well as
veterans of color. Our quick action
in passing this legislation
will help ensure we maximize
federal funds in this important
endeavor.”

PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT
(S 2439)
Senate 37-3, approved an
amendment that adds Project
Labor Agreement language
that mandates a pre-bid, prehire
collective bargaining agreement
for the construction of
the new Soldiers’ Home and requires
the recruiting of women,
minority and veteran owned
businesses to participate in the
design and construction of the
facility.
“I am proud that the Senate
added additional language
during our debate that strengthens
the bill to reflect our commonwealth’s
collective values,”
said Sen. Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough),
the sponsor of the
amendment. “It is critical that
significant taxpayer-funded
projects of this scope be completed
on-time and on-budget
with a diverse, local, safe, welltrained
and highly skilled workforce.
Additionally, we should
be working diligently to assist
women, minority and veteran
owned businesses in creating
jobs and opportunities
now and in the future. The bill
we passed today accomplishes
these goals by authorizing funding
for a modern facility for our
commonwealth’s veterans while
expanding opportunities for
many local working-class people
in the construction trades.”

of Labor Statistics, 83 percent
of the construction industry is
‘open-shop’ non-union labor,”
said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton)
who voted against the
amendment. “A project labor
agreement on a taxpayer funded
project requires that only
union labor be utilized, excluding
83 percent of those in the industry
who are non-union even
though their tax dollars also
fund the project. We should allow
both union and non-union
workers an opportunity for employment,
especially when it’s
the public’s money. Project labor
agreements are also known
to increase the cost of taxpayer
projects because of the lack of
competition on who can work
on said projects."
“As legislators, we have the
responsibility to ensure that
any state contract of this magnitude—regardless
of its noble
and critical purpose—receives
a comprehensive evaluation,”
said Sen. Marc Pacheco
(D-Taunton), Senate Chair
of the Committee on State
Administration and Regulatory
Oversight. “This is especially
true in times of great economic
need and uncertainty,
and where our failure to ensure
fairness for all would risk
grave consequences in other
areas. I am proud to have
helped shape that conversation
by bringing forth important
questions about regional
equity, fiscal accountability
and the rights of Massachusetts
workers.”
Senate Ways and Means chair
Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport)
also voted against the amendment.
"I have problems with
anytime we limit competition
on any sort of public construction
projects,” he told the State
House News Service. “I think
more competition is healthier

taxpayers."

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.

be won.
Therefore, in the above exP
resident
Biden’s proposed
repeal of the step-up in
basis provisions of Internal
Revenue Code Section 1014,
if passed by Congress, will create
a sweeping change in the
tax code that will aff ect millions
of American taxpayers.
The step-up in tax basis provisions
provide for the fair market
value of all assets owned
or constructively owned by
the taxpayer at the time of his
or her death to become the
new “cost basis” going forward
in the hands of the recipients
of those assets (e.g. surviving
spouse, children, relatives, etc.)
pursuant to the terms of the
Last Will and Testament transfer
on death account, or a Living
Trust, for example. As long
as the assets are includible in
the taxable estate of the decedent,
regardless of whether or
not a federal or Massachusetts
estate tax has to be paid, the
step-up in basis is achieved.
This provision allows for a
single-family home originally
purchased for $75,000 to
be left to one’s children at the
time of death of a parent, while
creating a new cost basis in the
hands of the children equal
to the fair market value at the
time of death. If, for example,
at the time of death, the fair
market value of the home is
$500,000, that will be the new
cost basis. The children would
be able to sell the home soon
thereafter for $500,000 without
having to pay any capital
gains tax. One of the original
purposes of the legislation
was to avoid the unmanageable
task of requiring the children
to attempt to compute
the cost basis of the home
by going back 50 or more
years to determine the original
purchase price, capital improvements,
closing costs, refinance
costs, etc. By establishing
the fair market value
as the starting point after the
date of death, all of those isample,
if the Biden administration
proposal is passed, if one
assumes there were $75,000 in
improvements over the years,
there would be a $350,000
capital gain. If there were two
children, the federal capital
gains tax would be approximately
$26,250 each and the
Massachusetts capital gains
tax would be $8,750 each,
for a total of $70,000. This is
certainly an increase in taxes
to be paid by a lot of middle-class
taxpayers. Millions
of middle-class American taxpayers
currently do not have
to be concerned about such
a capital gains tax in these circumstances.
If the tax law is
changed, it will be unavoidable.
What’s
important is not so
much whether or not you
agree or disagree with abolishing
the step-up in basis
provisions of the tax code, but
whether or not you realize this
will affect just about everybody,
not just the rich and famous.
This will also aff ect appreciated
stock that a mother
or father may leave to his or
her children. Even a $100,000
stock portfolio built up over
years of investing may have
a cost basis of only $25,000.
Without the benefit of the
step-up in cost basis provisions,
the children, upon a later
sale of the stock, will realize a
$75,000 capital gain and incur
a $15,000 combined federal
and Mass capital gains tax. The
repeal of this long-standing
provision will have profound
implications for millions of taxpayers,
not just the wealthy.
Such a repeal would also create
a disaster from a taxpayer
compliance standpoint as well
as from an IRS enforcement
standpoint. Such a new tax law
would amount to nothing less
than a middle-class tax hike,
and this would have nothing
to do with the proposed increase
in the capital gains tax
rate for those who earn more
than $400,000 per year.

Nine Metro North communities join
CHA, Tufts University to launch
collaborative vaccination sites
The new Metro North
COVID-19 Vaccination Partnership,
a consortium of nine cities,
Cambridge Health Alliance
(CHA) and Tufts University, recently
announced that it will
open three joint vaccination
sites to expand COVID-19 vaccine
access in the metro north
area. The regional partnership
was recently approved by the
state Department of Public
Health (DPH) as a part of its
statewide network of vaccination
locations.
Located at CHA’s vaccination
centers at 176 Somerville Ave.
in Somerville and Encore Boston
Harbor in Everett along with
Tufts University’s Gantcher Center
in Medford, the three sites
will be operated and staffed by
CHA, respective local Boards of
Health and Tufts University, with
CHA serving as the health provider
for all three sites. The sites
at the Gantcher Center and Encore
started administering vaccines
during the first week of
May, and the Somerville site
(which has been only accepting
CHA patients with appointments)
is expected to join the
other two sites in the second
week of May. Cities and towns
participating include Arlington,
Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett,
Malden, Medford, Revere,
Somerville and Winthrop. The
Metropolitan Area Planning
Council (MAPC) is also helping
to coordinate participating municipalities.
“Our
communities and organizations
came together to help
advance both the statewide vaccination
effort and to bring the
vaccine closer to home especially
for our vulnerable residents
and workers. These centers aim
to help break down the barriers
to vaccine access and increase
vaccine equity by reducing travel,
language, and mobility challenges.
For all of us, being ‘in this
together’ truly means combining
resources and working together
to beat this virus,” Partnership
officials said in a joint
statement.
“These communities have
been on the front lines of the
pandemic since it first hit our
region in early 2020, and are in
dire need of a regional solution
to increasing the rates of vaccination
and building vaccine
confidence,” said MAPC Director
of Municipal Collaboration
Mark Fine. “By banding together
to get doses closer to where
residents live and work, we can
increase the pace of vaccinations
and ensure folks have access
to this critical public health
resource regardless of immigration
status, car ownership, English
fluency, work hours, or access
to health insurance.”
The sites will follow CHA’s accessible
and supportive vaccine
clinic approach with multilingual
services, welcoming signage,
neighborhood-based locations
and accommodations
for anyone requiring seating,
shelter or support as they wait.
“As a community health system
that serves several of the
communities that were among
the hardest hit during the pandemic,
we are committed to doing
everything we can to help
local residents get and stay
healthy,” said CHA CEO Dr. Assaad
Sayah. “The Partnership
will provide consistent and convenient
access to COVID-19 vaccinations
and accelerate efforts
to get us past this crisis.”
The Partnership applied to
DPH with a proposal for the three
sites combined to deliver a minimum
of 750 doses per day, the
threshold for approval as a mass
vaccination site, with the capacVACCINATION

hard-hit food security programs,
provided grants to struggling
nonprofits, and helped
launch affordable pooled testing
programs in the Medford

GRANTS | FROM PAGE 12
thank their partners for helping to
spread the word, which allowed us
to provide direct support to those
businesses that have been hit the
hardest, including minority- and
woman-owned businesses, restaurants
and downtown retailers.”
The 15th and final round of
awards totaled approximately
$4.8 million in grants to 108 additional
businesses. Among the
fi nal round of recipients, grants
were awarded to 25 minority-owned,
and 26 women-owned
businesses; 24 recipients were located
in Gateway Cities, and 28
businesses had not received any
prior aid.
“I want to express my deepest
gratitude to Larry Andrews and
his team at MGCC for going above
and beyond in their eff orts to ensure
that this important aid went
to businesses located in Gateway
Cities, met a demographic
priority such as being minorityor
women-owned, or were operating
in sectors among the hardest
hit during this pandemic,” said
Housing and Economic Development
Secretary Mike Kennealy. “In
addition, I’d like to thank MGCC’s
partner organizations, which include
Amplify Latinx and locally
the Entrepreneurship Center @
CTI with us today, who truly made
this program successful because
of their extensive outreach to the
communities that are traditionally
underrepresented.”
To increase applications from
underrepresented groups and
achieve equitable access to funding,
MGCC worked with a statewide
network of local non-profits,
small business technical assistance
providers, and other organizations
that support minority enterprises
to reach businesses and
entrepreneurs that would match

the program’s priorities. These
partners include the Black Economic
Council of Massachusetts
(BECMA), Amplify Latinx, the Business
Equity Initiative, the Massachusetts
Association of Community
Development Corporations
(MACDC), LISC, LEAF, the African
Community Economic Development
of New England (ACEDONE),
and the statewide Coalition
for an Equitable Economy.
“The success of this program
was a direct result of the leadership
of the Governor, Lt. Governor,
and Secretary Kennealy; and
the team at MGCC, who rose to
the occasion to stand up a new
program and deliver an unprecedented
amount of relief to small
businesses across Massachusetts
that have been impacted by the
pandemic,” said MGCC President
and CEO Larry Andrews. “Also critical
to this program’s success was
the extensive network of partner
organizations, including Amplify
Latinx, for their work to reach out
to businesses that serve communities
of color, groups that have
been disproportionately impacted
by the virus, or who are traditionally
at a disadvantage, and
provided the necessary technical
assistance through the application
process.”
MGCC will soon be announcing
two new funding opportunities
focused on small businesses.
A program called Biz-M-Power
will assist low-income and moderate-income
entrepreneurs acquire
or improve their brick-andmortar
location, purchase new
equipment, and other capital
needs. Businesses will crowdfund
through local residents, neighborhoods,
community members,
and other stakeholders and
become eligible for matching
grants. Another new program will
help small businesses access tools
and services to develop their digital
capabilities, including social
media, website development,
and team collaboration.
These awards have been part
of a steady deployment of grants
and capital funding to support
economic recovery throughout
Massachusetts and are a key
part of the Administration’s larger
strategy to assist small businesses
and support an equitable economic
recovery across the Commonwealth.
"It
is essential to recognize the
signifi cance of culturally and linguistically
responsive outreach to
minority and underrepresented
groups, which was a major contributor
to the program's success,”
said Amplify Latinx Executive
Director Rosario Ubiera-Minaya.
“These partner organizations
are all well positioned and
trusted by minority communities
to eff ectively and quickly respond
to the challenges faced by
these businesses. The collaborative
approach centered on the
partner organizations has helped
ensure that the collective work
going forward is as intentional
and impactful as possible. Keeping
direction will position minority-owned
businesses for stability
and growth."
In addition to this business
relief program, recovery eff orts
consist of MGCC Small Business
Technical Assistance grants and
matching grants for Community
Development Financial Institutions
and Community Development
Corporations; the Regional
Pilot Project Grant Program,
which is a $5 million initiative designed
to activate vacant storefronts,
support regional supply
chain resiliency, and create small
business support networks; the
$1.6 million Travel and Tourism
Recovery Grant Pilot Program
to promote recovery in the tourism
industry; the ongoing My
Local MA marketing initiative to
encourage residents to support
their local economies by shopping
at Massachusetts businesses
and attractions; and a $9.5 million
eff ort underway to help 125
communities pursue locally-driven,
actionable strategies to support
downtown and commercial
districts through the Local Rapid
Recovery Planning program.
