We are heavily outdated.” An example he gave about inconsistencies was the need for a special license for businesses in business districts. Current uses will be “grandfathered in” to maintain current uses, but new zoning would become applicable with a change of use.

Dear Editor, The eastern side of lower Broadway in Everett is still the target for an electric energy production facility using massive filthy unsightly polluting dangerous lithium batteries. The scheme hatched by Texas-based Jupiter Power (and Wall Street commodity/energy speculators) and financed by Blackrock, makes any alternate proposal by Wynn or Kraft untenable. They are running for the exit. Everett seems once again to be doomed to be the sucker for the continued exploitation of the area for unsavory dirty, unsightly polluting and dangerous industrial purposes. Instead of coal or oil or gas, this time it is Lithium. Flooding Everett with Lithium is the new “clean” energy boondoggle that the politicians will love. Especially because the taxpayers will be paying for it. I propose siting the Jupiter Power facility in Dover, Wellesley, Newton, or North Andover. I hope Everett citizens, (City) Council leaders, and Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria do not fall for the bait and switch scheme being hatched for the old polluted Edison and Exxon-Mobil Everett properties across from the new Wynn Encore Casino and Hotel on south Broadway. Voters in Everett have always been particularly sensitive to being betrayed by politicians. Signed, Domenic Pepe Former Everett Planning Board Chairman under former Mayor John McCarthy Immaculate Conception Parish to host annual Multicultural Festival on June 15 O n behalf of Father Joseph Chacha Marwa, the Immaculate Conception Parish of Everett is proud to announce Multicultural Festival “24,” an event on Saturday, June 15, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Lafayette School Park.

Ward 6 Councillor Peter Pietrantonio asked if there should be a building moratorium during the recodifi cation. Lattanzi answered imposing a moratorium, which requires studies for justifi cation, would take as long as the recodifi cation and should have started a year ago to have any impact. He also said most new development is in the Commercial Triangle off Route 16/Revere Beach Parkway and the Lower Broadway Economic District, two areas with up-to-date zoning. “They’d receive the fewest amount of amendments,” he said. Lattanzi hopes to make a fuller presentation to the City Council this summer with fi nal approval possibly in the fall. “This is a massive zoning change, but it’s still a zoning change and will be referred to the Planning Board for hearings,” he said. In another zoning related item, the Council gave its second and final approval to a proposal to amend the parking requirements, use regulations and dimensional standards in the Zoning Ordinance related to the Lower Broadway Economic Development District, introduced by Lattanzi at the May 13 meeting. “For this type of change the City Council is required to take two votes,” he said of the procedure. Lattanzi stated that a typographical error required one parking space for every foot of space in industrial buildings and the change would require one space per 1,000 feet of building space. “It will still provide enough parking,” he said. In another item on the agenda, Lattanzi was reappointed to his position through January, 5, 2026. The city funded portion of his salary in Fiscal 2024 is $61,002. The Planning Department request and the Mayor’s recommendation for his Fiscal 2025 salary is a lower $50,266. He earned $122,004 in Fiscal 2024 through additional funds from Community Block Grants. Despite the lower local appropriation, in Fiscal 2025 he will earn $125,664 because the grant to supplement his salary is rising from $61,002 to $75,398. Councillor At-Large Guerline Alcy Jabouin asked Lattanzi for some information about his experience in the Planning Department and City Solicitor’s offi ce. “I went to law school,” Lattanzi answered in reference to his graduating Boston College law school in 2018. “You don’t major in law school, but you can have a focus. My focus was land use and law.” He also recounted his days as an Assistant City Solicitor offi ce starting in 2018, during which then Director of Planning Anthony Sousa noticed his interest in property use and law, which led to him being asked to attend Planning Board meetings and, eventually, moving to the Planning Department in 2020. Alcy Jabouin also asked Lattanzi if he would lose his job if the grants disappeared. He answered that was a theoretical possibility but “very unlikely.” In another item the Council approved the transfer of $100,000 from the General Fund Budgetary Fund Balance or Free Cash to the Human Resources Employee Buyback Account to pay employee benefi ts due to employees leaving city employment. Prior to the regular Council meeting, the Ways and Means Subcommittee recommended approval, which the full membership approved. Jabouin asked why the expense wasn’t anticipated and money was needed from Free Cash. Councillor At-Large Stephanie Smith told her money had been cut from the Buyback Account and was needed due to unexpected requirements for employee benefi ts. At the outset of the meeting, Council president Robert Van Campen outlined a new procedure for Public Comment in which remarks on agenda items would be heard fi rst and remarks on other matters second even if one person wanted to address multiple issues. Before making her remarks, Public Comment regular Paula Sterite asked, “Is it necessary to have a police offi cer present?” This might be considered disingenuous given she has been barred from School Committee meetings due to alleged improper behavior that violated the privacy of students and police offi cers have been at School Committee meetings as well. “I’m concerned about the presence of a police officer here,” Pietrantonio interjected. “Was there a threat to us?” “I’m not aware of any threat,” Van Campen answered.

Everett’s Ralph Carbone graduates from College of the Holy Cross R alph Carbone of Everett received a bachelor of arts degree cum laude from College of the Holy Cross. Carbone is among 751 bachelor of arts degree recipients Holy Cross celebrated at its 178th Commencement held in person on Friday, May 24 at the DCU Center in Worcester. Dr. Laurie Leshin, director of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and former president of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, delivered this year’s address to the Class of 2024 and received an honorary degree. In her remarks, Leshin spoke about the forward-looking, visionary pioneers who have paved the way for space exploration success throughout the years, and stressed the importance of being audacious and pushing boundaries. “So this is my challenge to you, Class of 2024 – to dare mighty things together,” said Leshin. “You certainly inherit an imperfect world. A planet, a society, with flaws. But I have faith in you. “You have the vision. You have the intelligence and the drive. And if you can you think big, pursue audacious ideas, and do so with passion and commitment, mind-blowing things are possible.” In addition to Leshin, Holy Cross also awarded an honorary degree to Rev. Paul F. Harman, S.J., a longtime Holy Cross administrator who played a key role in the College’s transition to coeducation 50 years ago. The College of the Holy Cross, which is located in Worcester, Mass., is among the nation’s leading liberal arts institutions. A highly selective, four-year, exclusively undergraduate college of 3,200 students, Holy Cross is renowned for offering a rigorous, personalized education in the Jesuit, Catholic tradition.

The budget builds on the Senate’s commitment to fiscal responsibility while delivering historic levels of investment in every level of education, regional equity, and mental health, reflecting the Chamber’s commitment to creating a more affordable, equitable and competitive Commonwealth. Senator DiDomenico’s amendments mandate supporting working families by expanding access to food, clothing, quality education and workforce training. “This budget is a victory for people of all backgrounds and income levels in my district and throughout the Commonwealth,” said Senator DiDomenico. “I am proud to bring millions of dollars to my district for organizations and programs that provide vital services for our residents. These investments will create new opportunities for people of all ages in our communities, support projects that will improve lives and ensure all our children can build the bright futures they deserve.” A Conference Committee will now be appointed to reconcile differences between the versions of the budget passed by the Senate and House of Representatives. Statewide DiDomenico Amendments • $3.5 million to expand the annual clothing allowance for low-income families, giving families $500 per child to purchase the clothes they need every year • $250,000 for operations services for the Massachusetts Emergency Food Assistance Program; Senator DiDomenico also successfully advocated for the $42 million that was included for food services in this program • $300,000 for Operation A.B.L.E. of Greater Boston to provide basic workforce and skills training, employment services and job re-entry support to older workers • Require the Department of Elementary & Secondary Education to gather data on sex & relationship education in our Victoria Chaparro of Everett recognized at Hofstra’s First-Gen Graduation Celebration N early 100 Hofstra University first-generation graduates from the Class of 2024 were recognized during Commencement Weekend at the First-Gen Graduation Celebration. Victoria Chaparro of Everett was one of the graduates recognized at the event. The celebration served as an opportunity to honor the unique accomplishment of overcoming barriers facing first-generation students and brought together the Hofsschools. This will help our state government understand how tra community to congratulate the graduates on their achievements. There were powerful student stories, and the room was filled with emotion as the graduates received their cord while their names were read. Hofstra University’s primary mission is to provide a quality education to its students in an environment that encourages, nurtures and supports learning.

Some local DiDomenico Amendments • $25,000 for the Eliot Family Resource Center for comprehensive community-based services and resources • $25,000 for La Comunidad to support community programming and services • $25,000 to the Everett Haitian Community Center for community programming, resources and services • $50,000 for the music program at Everett High School • $25,000 to the Everett Public Schools for student-led environmental initiatives • $25,000 for Girls on the Run Greater Boston to provide social-emotional learning and physical activity curriculum to elementary and middle schoolaged girls in the cities of Chelsea, Everett, and Cambridge, and in Charlestown • $25,000 to For Kids Only Afterschool for a pilot workforce development program to support programming for low-income and at-risk children and educators As the Commonwealth adjusts to a changing economic landscape and ongoing tax revenue volatility, the FY25 budget adheres to disciplined and responsible fiscal stewardship. It does not raise taxes, nor does it draw down available reserves from the Stabilization Fund or the Transitional Escrow Fund, while at the same time judicially utilizing one-time resources to maintain balance. The Senate’s budget continues responsible and sustainable planning for the future by continuing to grow the “Rainy Day Fund,” which is already at a historic high of over $8 billion. The Senate’s proposal would build the Commonwealth’s reserves to a healthy balance in excess of $9 billion at the close of FY25. ׉ 7cassandra://6gRChR00sNrypofR8BJyNoovrdvOVAB7Avbn8W76kUI+`̰fXDmen׉E MTHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 31, 2024 Page 11 Everett High School Host Annual Scholarship Night The Fox Translation Services Award was presented to; Emily De Oliveira, Katherine Martinez Diaz, Hanh “Vy” Hang, Meybelin Vasquez Lazo, Andrew Evangelista Linhares, Yasmin Linhares, Maria Ruiz Marquez, Debora Alvarez Mejia, Angie Ospina Torres, Ricardo Osario Umana.

Tide baseball enjoys late season success with three straight wins First-year head coach Malik Love plans on an extensive off-season program to get ready for 2025 By Joe McConnell he Everett High School baseball team (7-13) won’t make the postseason this year, but what it did to close out the regular season just might have provided a jumpstart to the 2025 campaign. First-year head coach MaT lik Love saw his club rattle off three straight non-league wins against Greater Lawrence (4-2), Charlestown (5-4) and Greater Lawrence again on Senior Day at home on May 24 (12-2). “We got things clicking in these three games. The players were executing, and playing really good baseball,” said Love. “It’s definitely a nice momentum builder heading into next year.” Isaiah Goffigan started the first game against Greater Lawrence on the mound on May 20. Goffigan pitched four-plus innings, before freshman Derek Soper came in to get his teammates out of a two on, one out jam in the fifth. Soper immediately induced a liner to shortstop Nordeivy Santana, who threw to first baseman Jose Portillo to complete the double play. He went on to pitch the final two innings to secure the win. 2024 EHS CRIMSON TIDE VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM: Shown from left to right: Top row: Randy Hou, Nordeivy Santana, Charles Govostes, Derek Soper, Isaiah Goffigan, Armani Negron, Jevaun Berberena, Jose Portillo, Albert Santana and Anderson Santiago; bottom row: Reynaldo Santiago, Joel Simpson, Justin Longmore, Alex Lara, Sebastian Fong, Aman Mustafa and Daniel Velasco-Arias. Goffigan also helped out on offense with a two-run double. Portillo knocked in a run on a fielder’s choice. Soper came back to pitch five innings against Charlestown to record another triumph. Portillo and senior Alex Lara followed him to the hill, pitching one inning apiece to help keep their teammates in the game after the Townies jumped out to a 4-0 lead. The Tide offense scored all five of their runs in the sixth to seal the deal. “We wouldn’t be in the position to stage a comeback if (Soper) didn’t keep us in it early, and that’s why I gave him the win,” said Love. The Everett boys then turned their attention to Greater Lawrence again, but first they honored the three seniors on the varsity roster – Enrico Vega, Justin Longmore and Lara – on Senior Day last Friday. “Justin Longmore has been in the program since his freshman year, but injuries have hurt him the last two springs. Vega grew up playing baseball, but this year he also had other commitments as an EHS band member,” said Love. “Lara has been a steady contributor for us, and I can’t thank him enough for the way he helped out the younger players on the roster, while also providing a good example for them in the field and at the plate.” Lara pitched the first three innings in the backend of the home and home series with BASEBALL | SEE PAGE 15 ׉ 7cassandra://sLN8-Qadm3ya7X61qxo7EFiK-odg9_aAc-Vv65cktbU/`̰fXDmer׉E THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 31, 2024 Page 15 Everett High Boys’ Volleyball seniors bounces career interests during Senior Night Mark Pierre was accompanied by his teacher, Jillian Ells during Wednesday’s Everett High School Boys’ Volleyball Senior Night at Everett High School.

Love sat down with his Greater Boston League (GBL) peers on Wednesday to select the all-star team after press deadline.

Love will fi rst be bringing his underclassmen to The Base, an urban baseball academy located on Shirley Street in Roxbury throughout the month of June. He also plans to have them in Fall Ball Leagues, before engaging in a strength and conditioning program next winter.

I usually do a Google search on a symptom, drug or health condition when I want to research something, but with so much information out there I’m not sure what I can trust. Skeptical Sal Dear Sal, You’re wise to be skeptical! There’s an overwhelming amount of health advice on the internet today and it can be hard to tell what’s credible. To help you sort through the online clutter and locate reliable, trustworthy health information, here are a few tips to follow, along with some top-rated sites you can turn to with confi dence. Savvy Searching First, know that Google or Bing is not always the best place to start a search. You’ll increase your odds of fi nding reliable health information if you begin with websites run by government agencies (identifi ed by URLs ending in .gov), medical associations (often .org) or academic institutions (.edu). Commercial websites (usually ending in .com), such as drug or insurance companies who may be trying to sell you their products, are usually not the most trustworthy options. To fi nd out who’s sponsoring a site and where the information came from, click on the “About Us” tab on the site’s home page. Also note that good health and medical information changes all the time so check the date that information was published to make sure it’s current. Some other areas you need be wary of include online symptom checkers and artificial intelligence (AI) tools.

Seni nior n r ior SOFTBALL | FROM PAGE 14 day (after press deadline). Peyton Warren pitched six innings against Medford, giving up six hits, one walk and three earned runs. She fanned fi ve. The Mustangs produced an early 2-0 lead in the third. But the home team scored three in the home half to take the lead. Olivia Dresser got it going with a two-out single. Bryanna Mason then drew a walk. Alexa Uga then knocked in one with a hit. Ashley Seward followed with an infi eld hit to load the bases for Emilia Maria-Babcock, who drove home Mason with a walk to account for the tying run. The locals scored the go-ahead run later on in the frame. With one out in the fourth, they added some insurance. Emma Longmore was credited with a one-out single to shortstop. Dresser was hit by a pitch, followed by an RBI single from Mason that scored Longmore. Uga then drove in Dresser with what turned out to be the game-winning run. The Mustangs got two back in the sixth, only to fall just short, despite threatening for more in the seventh with a runner on second, but there were already two outs at the time. “Both our girls and our fans were hyped up for this game,” said coach Stacy Poste-Schiavo. “We lost to [Medford] the first time around, 5-2, but we knew they were beatable. Their pitcher had decent speed on her pitches, which we prepared for in practice [with simulated games]. We also had the pitching machine going, so they were more than ready to take on Medford’s pitcher. Their fi rst fi ve batters are good hitters, so we had to keep the bottom of the lineup off the bases. Our defense was strong, especially in the sixth, when we were able to make enough plays to limit them to just a couple of runs. “Peyton and Emilia were an amazing battery in this game. They worked well together to not give Medford any good pitches to hit,” added Poste-Schiavo. “We tell them all the time that we can coach them to play, but we can’t coach them to play with heart. That comes from them, and this game proved that.” Against Lowell, it took eight innings before the visitors eked out a win. Warren pitched all eight, allowing 10 hits, seven walks and nine earned runs. She whiff ed three. Lowell scored fi rst with a run in the opening stanza. But Everett took the lead with four in the second. With one out, Jayla Davila drew a walk and stole second. Arabella Cvitkusic followed with another walk. Stephany DeSouza was then safe on a fi elder’s choice, before Alessandra Foster walked to load the bases for Longmore, who knocked in the tying run with a walk. Dresser also drew a free press to produce the second run. Mason singled in the fi nal two runs of the frame. Lowell got one back in the top half of the third, but the Everett girls scored three more in the fourth to lead by fi ve, 7-2. Longmore started it off with a single, and Dresser walked. Both runners advanced into scoring position on a passed ball. Uga followed with a tworun single to account for the big hit in the inning. The visitors tied up the proceedings with fi ve in the fi fth. It stayed that way throughout the next two innings to force an extra frame. Lowell wasted little time to break the tie with three in the top of the eighth. The home team tried to mount a comeback, but fell short by two runs. Uga doubled home Dresser, who walked, with Everett’s eighth and fi nal run of the game. “[Lowell] was one of the best teams we faced this spring,” said Poste-Schiavo. “They put the ball in play the most of any team we played this year, which allowed us to show off our defensive skills. Unfortunately, they caught up and took the lead by hitting the vacant spots in the fi eld.” “Peyton still did a great job [in the circle] with Foster behind the plate,” added the veteran Everett coach. “This was not the way we had hoped Senior Night would turn out, but it was still nice to face the type of competition we may see in the state tournament.” Against host Somerville, Warren shut out the Highlanders for fi ve innings, before the mercy rule ended the lopsided aff air. She yielded just one hit and two walks, while striking out 10. The Everett girls exploded right away with 12 runs in the first. Gianna Masucci supplied the power with a grand slam. Longmore, Dresser, Seward and Maria-Babcock also contributed with big hits in the inning. They tacked on four more in the second. Uga, Seward and Maria-Babcock came through with the timely hits in the frame. The Tide completed their offensive assault with another six in the third. Longmore, Seward and Maria-Babcock chipped in with hits that helped produce those runs. The game was called in the fifth, because of the mercy rule. “The girls were eager to win this game to offi cially clinch the Greater Boston League [GBL] title,” said Poste-Schiavo. “They were coming off a tough loss to Lowell, and knew this game could not be taken lightly. I can’t say enough about this team, and how amazing they are to coach and watch.” It was now time for the regular season fi nale at Cambridge. Warren pitched five innings and gave up seven hits and 10 walks. She fanned four. It was another mercy rule game. The Everett girls scored four times in the fi rst and led after one, 4-1. Uga was credited with the big hit in the inning when she tripled in two runs. The visitors tacked on six more runs in the second, and three in the third. Everett led after three, 13-4. They then put up another three in the fourth. Mason doubled in a run, and Uga followed with a two-run double. The Tide closed out their off ense with fi ve in the fi fth. Longmore doubled in a run. Dresser singled in another, along with Mason and Uga, which helped invoke the mercy rule, once again. It’s now on to the postseason, and the Tide girls are hoping for a long run well into June. They lost to host Needham last year, 12-0, in the preliminary round.

All Senate roll calls were related to the Senate version of a $55.9 billion fiscal 2025 state budget. “BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE SENATE BUDGET DEBATE” Of the 1,100 amendments filed by senators, only 41 came to a roll call vote. Many others were simply approved or rejected one at a time on voice votes, some with debate and some without debate. To move things along even faster, the Senate also did its usual “bundling” of many amendments. Instead of acting on each amendment one at a time, hundreds of the proposed amendments are bundled and put into two piles—one pile that will be approved and the other that will be rejected, without a roll call, on voice votes where it is impossible to tell which way a senator votes. Senate President Karen Spilka, or the senator who is filling in for her at the podium, orchestrates the approval and rejection of the bundled amendments with a simple: “All those in favor say ‘Aye,’ those opposed say ‘No.’ The Ayes have it and the amendments are approved.” Or: “All those in favor say ‘Aye,’ those opposed say ‘No.’ The No’s have it and the amendments are rejected.” Senators don’t actually vote Yes or No, and, in fact, they don’t say a word. The outcome was predetermined earlier behind closed doors. Supporters of the system say that any senator who sponsored an amendment that is in the “No” pile 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.

Date: May 22, 2024 TARA E. DeCRISTOFARO Register of Probate May 31, 2024 definition of a veteran, increasing tax credits and state benefits for which they are eligible and modernizing the services on which they rely. Provisions include providing a medical assistance benefit, behavioral health assistance benefit and dental benefit beyond other benefits available to veterans; increasing from $2,000 to $2,250 and then to $2,500 the annuity for blind, paraplegic or veterans with disabilities; allowing municipalities to annually increase local property tax abatements for veterans in an amount equal to the increase in cost of living determined by the Consumer Price Index for the year; increasing from $2,000 to $2,500 the amount of a tax credit for each qualified veteran hired by an employer and for subsequent years of continued employment of each veteran; creating a working group to study and make recommendations on the use of psychedelics as an alternative therapy for mental health treatments for veterans; and allowing certain veteran’s organizations to be approved by the Gaming Commission and their local licensing authority for up to five slot machines on their premises. “[The bill] is a transformative package of reforms that will make sure our veterans and their families have access to the benefits, resources and support they deserve,” said Gov. Maura Healey. Rep. Gerard Cassidy (D-Brockton), House Chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Affairs, called the measure a historic piece of legislation that addresses critical quality of life issues faced every day by veterans. “It is important that we continue to honor those who served our country, and this bill highlights our commitment to their wellbeing,” said Cassidy. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes SENATE APPROVES $57.999 BILLION FISCAL 2025 BUDGET (S 3) Senate 40-0, approved a $55.9 billion fiscal 2025 state budget after adding an estimated $89.6 million in spending during three days of debate. The House has already approved a different version and 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. “[The budget includes] universally free community college and record public higher education investments,” said Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton), Senate chair of the Committee on Higher Education. “Significant funding for rural roads and bridges, local public health, K-12 schools, Unrestricted Government Aid, Regional Transit Authorities, food security and more.” “Today our chamber took a vote of confidence in every Massachusetts resident going to school, raising a family and working to make ends meet,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “Today we took a vote for an affordable, competitive and equitable commonwealth, This budget is an investment in our people, and it is an investment in our collective future.” “The fiscal year 2025 budget overwhelmingly passed by the Senate makes transformative investments in education, regional equity and builds upon the commonwealth’s workforce economy,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “These historic measures enable residents to remain in the state, solidifying our economic future for generations to come. The budget is also a balanced and responsible plan, centered on sustainability and regional equity by maximizing revenues and building upon the progress we’ve already made in key sectors of the state economy. With a transparent and inclusive amendment process, we were able to improve our original budget and make even further strides in our education, economic development, environmental and health and human services priorities.” Although no one voted against the budget, it wasn’t without its critics. “The State Senate seems to have only one thing on their mind: spend more, reform less,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. The Senate President kicked off that theme when she proposed new ‘free’ community college, which would add an unstoppable ballooning mandate for future generations of taxpayers. The Senate’s questionable priorities were also reflected in the late hours of last night, as they adopted an amendment to spend $250,000 on a new state seal and motto, when previous attempts proved unfruitful. What a colossal waste of taxpayer money. There’s no other way to view this.” Craney continued, “Senate leadership had a great opportunity to do something beneficial for the state’s economic competitiveness, but they failed to act. The income surtax was advertised to the public as a tax just for high income earners making over $1 million dollars. Then last year, the Legislature added a ‘marriage penalty’ to impose the $1 million dollar income surtax for all ‘combined’ incomes for married couples. This change in the tax policy penalizes married couples just for being married and significantly lowers the threshold from what tax proponents campaigned on. At a time when Massachusetts is desperate to keep high income earners and productive taxpayers from moving out of state, the State Senate missed probably their most important opportunity to be helpful. They had a great opportunity to strike out the marriage penalty, but instead, they chose to keep taxes high by penalizing families.” (A “Yes” vote is for the budget.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes SALES TAX HOLIDAY (S 4) Senate 5-34, rejected an amendment that would establish a 2-week sales tax holiday, from August 6, 2024 to August 19, 2024, allowing consumers to buy most products that cost under $2,500 without paying the state’s 6.25 percent sales tax. State law currently calls for a 2-day sales tax holiday every year. “There is no doubt that Massachusetts residents and small businesses are feeling the weight of inflation,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “By giving a 2-week tax reprieve through an extended sales tax holiday, we provided families and individuals an opportunity to make purchases without the added burden of taxes which also helps small businesses.” Amendment opponents said the Legislature has provided extensive tax relief in recent years and argued the 2-week holiday would cost $210 million which the state cannot afford. They noted that current state law already provides a 2-day sales tax holiday annually. They noted that extending the holiday is more of a feel-good policy that does little to help families. They noted the extension would actually generate little additional revenue for stores because consumers typically buy the products even without the tax-free days. (A “Yes” vote is for the 2-week sales tax holiday. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No ABOLISH REQUIREMENT THAT COUPLES MUST FILE TAXES JOINTLY (S 4) Senate 10-29, rejected an amendment that would abolish the current requirement that Massachusetts married couples who file income tax returns jointly at the federal level do the same at the state level. Amendment supporters said that since these mararied couples are currently required to file jointly at the state level, their combined income can total more than $1 million and the 4 percent surtax applies to them and many more filers which is not what the voters approved on the November 2022 ballot question imposing the 4 percent surtax. “This amendment would have restored the original language of the surtax which would have allowed married couples in Massachusetts to file state taxes separately despite filing jointly for federal taxes,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “In doing so, couples in Massachusetts would have had the opportunity to keep more of their hard-earned income versus sending it over to the state.” Amendment opponents said requiring married couples who file jointly at the federal level to file jointly with the state is reasonable and is working well. They noted the surtax is raising more money than predicted and is alBHRC | SEE PAGE 19 ׉ 7cassandra://7E8CQJ-C7iEtdDTkMscpYuzc0FTv0WU4pV4z3EaQ8UE( `̰fXDmev׉E$4THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 31, 2024 Page 19 BHRC | FROM PAGE 18 lowing funding of some of the most important programs in the budgets including universal free school meals, breakfast and lunch, for every student; free community college; and increased scholarships -- none of that would be possible without the surtax revenues. (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment abolishing the joint filing requirement. A “No” vote is against the amendment and favors requiring joint filing.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No CAPITAL GAINS TAX (S 4) Senate 4-35, rejected an amendment that would retain a current law that requires any excess revenue in capital gains revenue over $1 billion to annually automatically be transferred as follows: 90 percent to the Rainy Day Fund; 5 percent to the State Retiree Benefits Trust Fund; and 5 percent to the State Pension Liability Fund. The $1 billion would remain in the General Fund and be spent by the Legislature with no restrictions. The proposed Senate budget changes that for only fiscal 2025 by raising the threshold by $375 million so that any excess over $1.375 billion would automatically go to those three funds if the secretary of administration and finance makes a determination that the funds are needed to achieve balance for fiscal year 2025. The $1.375 billion would remain in the General Fund to be spent on by the Legislature with no restrictions. “This amendment would have restored the original language of the capital gains law that allows transfers of excess gains collections over $1 billion in one fiscal year,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “Changing this language for one year … would create a precedent that would mean less transparency year after year by allowing a greater amount of taxpayer money to be used outside of the intended purpose of the capital gains tax.” Opponents said the additional $375 million is needed in the General Fund this fiscal year to fund many useful new programs in the budget including the new free community college program. They noted that the state estimates that there will be $513 million in excess capital gains this fiscal year which means that a total of $138 million will still be deposited in the Rainy Day Fund and the two other retirement funds. They noted that a little less money for the Rainy Day Fund this year is acceptable because there is a healthy balance of $8.4 billion currently in the Rainy Day Fund. (A “Yes” vote is in favor of any excess capital gains revenue above $1 billion going to the Rainy Day Fund and the two retirement funds. A “No” vote is for raising the threshold to $1.375 billion.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico No CONTINUE SESSION BEYOND 8 P.M. Senate 36-3, approved a motion to suspend Senate rules to allow the Senate budget debate session on May 22 to continue beyond 8 p.m. Under Senate rules, the Senate cannot meet after 8 p.m. unless the rule is suspended. The session lasted two hours and 15 minutes beyond 8 p.m. and adjourned at 10:15 p.m. Supporters of rule suspension said that the Senate has important work to continue on the fiscal 2025 budget and should stay in session to work on it. Opponents of rule suspension said it is irresponsible for the Senate to debate and vote late at night when taxpayers are asleep. (A “Yes” vote is for meeting beyond 8 p.m. A “No” vote is against it.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes $350,000 MORE FOR YWCAs (S 4) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would increase funding for YWCAs by $350,000 (from $650,000 to $1 million). “For close to 150 years, YWCAs around the world and the nine YWCAs in Massachusetts have stood beside our young women as a pillar of support and empowerment and across the state they are working hard to expand outreach, staffing, programming and support services to hundreds of at-risk girls,” said Sen. Robyn Kennedy (D-Worcester), the sponsor of the amendment. “This $350,000 amendment is critical to the continuance of our investment in gender specific youth violence prevention.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $350,000.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes $1 MILLION MORE FOR CIVICS EDUCATION (S 4) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would increase funding for civics education in schools across the state by $1 million (from $1.5 to $2.5 million). “I am so proud to support our continued investments in civics education, which empowers young people and gives them the tools to make their voices heard as they advocate for social, racial, economic and environmental justice,” said amendment sponsor Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham). “My amendment fully funds the Civics Project Trust Fund, boosting our school systems’ ability to implement civics education curricula and support student civics projects. I’ve met and corresponded with hundreds of students about their civics projects, and I can say with confidence that our investments in civics education are paying off.” (A “Yes” vote is for the $1 million.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes BAN HOME EQUITY THEFT (S 4) Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would prohibit cities and towns that foreclose on properties on which the owner owes back property taxes, from keeping all of the profits when the city or town sells the property at auction. Current Massachusetts law allows this practice. The bill would allow the city or town to keep only the amount owed in back taxes and send the remainder to the owner. Last year, the United States Supreme Court ruled that cities and towns that foreclose on properties on which the owner owes back property taxes, cannot keep all of the profits when the city or town sells the property at auction. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, writing a unanimous decision about a similar Minnesota law, said that “a taxpayer who loses her $40,000 house to the state to fulfill a $15,000 tax debt has made a far greater contribution to the public fisc than she owed.” “For far too long my constituents, and homeowners across Massachusetts, have been robbed of their rightful equity by greedy profiteers and apathetic bureaucrats,” said Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford), the sponsor of the amendment. “The Supreme Court’s ruling last year, along with the Hampden Superior Court’s decision last month, brought new hope that this thievery would finally come to an end. The Senate has taken the lead on ending this injustice in Massachusetts and I am proud to ensure that we’ve taken this opportunity to provide strong protections for struggling homeowners who are often facing incredible challenges in their lives.

Tackey Chan (D-Quincy). “Without this bill, employees are subject to unfair fees when trying to access their wages. This bill would help ensure that workers are protected, made aware of any fees associated with usage of their card and provided with a means of checking their balances without cost.” PROTECT FIREFIGHTERS (H 2339) – The House gave initial approval to a measure that would require a manufacturer or person that sells Firefi ghting Personal Protective Equipment to any person or government agency, to provide, beginning January 1, 2025, written notice to the buyer, at the time of sale, if the equipment contains toxic PSAs, as well as the reason such chemicals were added to the equipment. Beginning on January 1, 2027, the bill prohibits any person from manufacturing, knowingly selling or distributing any equipment containing intentionally added PFAS chemicals. “Firefi ghters put their life on the line every day to protect the residents of Massachusetts,” said sponsor Rep. Jim Hawkins (D-Attleboro). “The gear used to protect them in the performance of their duties in fact contains PFAS which is contributing to the rates of occupational cancer among Firefighters. [The proposal] will not only help identify turnout gear containing PFAS but phase out such forever chemicals from this gear going forward.” REQUIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS (H 2289) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would allow cities and towns to require the installation of an automatic sprinkler system in every newly-constructed 1- or 2-family home. Sponsor Rep. Ruth Balser (D-Newton) said that today’s new - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI24P2773EA Estate of: FREDERICK JOSEPH NEE Date of Death: 03/22/2023 CITATION ON PETITION FOR FORMAL ADJUDICATION To all interested persons: A petition for Formal Probate of Will with Appointment of Personal Representative has been filed by: John G. Nee of Woburn, MA requesting that the Court enter a formal Decree and Order and for such other relief as requested in the Petition. The Petitioner requests that: John G. Nee of Woburn, MA be appointed as Personal Representative(s) of said estate to serve Without Surety on the bond in unsupervised administration. IMPORTANT NOTICE You have the right to obtain a copy of the Petition from the Petitioner or at the Court. You have a right to object to this proceeding. To do so, you or your attorney must file a written appearance and objection at this Court before: 10:00 a.m. on the return day of 06/17/2024. This is NOT a hearing date, but a deadline by which you must file a written appearance and objection if you object to this proceeding. If you fail to file a timely written appearance and objection followed by an affidavit of objections within thirty (30) days of the return day, action may be taken without further notice to you. UNSUPERVISED ADMINISTRATION UNDER THE MASSACHUSETTS UNIFORM PROBATE CODE (MUPC) A Personal Representative appointed under the MUPC in an unsupervised administration is not required to file an inventory or annual accounts with the Court. Persons interested in the estate are entitled to notice regarding the administration directly from the Personal Representative and may petition the Court in any matter relating to the estate, including the distribution of assets and expenses of administration. WITNESS, Hon. Terri L. Klug Cafazzo, First Justice of this Court. Date: May 20, 2024 TARA E. DeCRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE May 31, 2024 Robert J, Van Campen, President Michael Mangan, Legislative Aide May 31, 20204 homes burn hotter and faster than those of the past because of modern construction techniques and synthetic furnishings. She noted that as a result, residents have only one to three minutes to fl ee the average home without sprinklers. “Automatic sprinklers work fast and give people more time to escape,” said Balser. “According to the Massachusetts Fire Sprinkler Coalition, having both sprinklers and smoke alarms reduces the risk of dying in a home fi re by 80 percent. Additionally, automatic sprinklers put out 90 percent of home fi res before the fi re department arrives, which reduces fi refi ghters’ exposure to the toxic products of combustion that cause cancer.” $13 MILLION FOR STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM – Gov. Healey announced that the state is investing $13 million in the Bridge for Resilient Youth in Transition (BRYT) program, an inschool program supporting students who have fallen behind academically due to challenges with their mental health. This is the fi rst time the state has provided funding to establish BRYT in schools. Up until now, the program had only been available to districts with the economic resources to get it off the ground. “Far too many young people in Massachusetts have been aff ected by a growing mental health crisis that was only amplifi ed by the pandemic,” said Gov. Healey. “Every student should have the support needed to balance their mental health and education. Expanding BRYT is a critical step that is bringing us closer to that goal.” “Across Massachusetts and the nation, young people are struggling,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh. “They’re expected to juggle academics, extracurriculars, social lives and family needs – often in the harsh and unrelenting light of social media – while also maintaining their mental health. Teens frequently have to navigate multiple systems to address their health needs. “Our kids shouldn’t have to ‘case manage’ themselves – that’s why BRYT is so valuable,” continued Walsh. BRYT helps students navigate and balance academic requirements and mental health treatment, while also providing the space to take a step back when needed. Expanding this program means that more students than ever before will be able to access the mental health support they need, in their home and at school. We’re thrilled to help make that a reality.” 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 ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ 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 May 20-24 the House met for a total of six hours and 49 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 39 hours and 47 minutes. Mon. May 20 House 11:03 a.m. to 11:16 a.m. Senate 11:01 a.m. to 3:08 p.m. Tues.
