In addition, Fasser said the city would only use eminent domain to take properties as a “last resort.” He said the project would be eligible for funding from numerous sources, including the MassWorks Infrastructure Program, the state’s Chapter 90 fund and MassINC under its Gateway Cities program. Fasser said that based on the results of the 2016 survey, residents primarily visit Everett Square to run errands and go shopping. The survey also indicated that while there is ample parking in the square, it is not laid out in a convenient manner. Although Encore Boston Harbor is set to open in June, Fasser said that Everett needs to maintain its own identity. “We want to further attract people to Everett,” he said. Fasser said he wanted to have the plan submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development by the end of the month. Although the maximum height for a building in Everett Square is four stories, Mayor Carlo DeMaria said he would support building a taller structure if it were necessary. “I don’t have a problem with a six- or seven-story building,” he said. Although he is not required to do so under state law, DeMaria suggested keeping the councillors involved in the plan going forward. “Let’s give the City Council a voice in this process,” he said. DeMaria also suggested removing Sacro Plaza as owner Sal Sacro did not wish to be involved in the project. Ward 1 Councillor Fred Capone and Ward 6 Councillor Michael McLaughlin said they POLICE | FROM PAGE 1 state. In addition to the AK-47, officers reportedly found other firearms in the vehicle. The chase briefly crossed into Malden before the vehicle crashed a short time later on the lower section of Broadway in Everett. Following the crash, four men exited the vehicle and continued to evade police on foot. However, with assistance from State and Transit Police, Everett police officers were able to wanted to table the vote until the council’s next meeting on Feb. 25. Capone said the council should not approve any changes that have not been vetted. “We’re trying to make too many changes on the fly,” he said. McLaughlin said he needed more time to review the documents and that there is no need to rush. However, DeMaria said he did not see the merit in waiting another two weeks. “I don’t like red tape,” he said. “I want to see some life in Everett Square.” Ward 5 Councillor Rosa DiFlorio expressed her support apprehend Rashad Odom, 29, of Boston’s South End, and Angelo Guimaraes, 19, of East Boston. The other two suspects remain at large. Elizabeth Vlock, of the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, said Odom and Guimaraes were arraigned in Malden District Court on charges including possession of a large capacity firearm in a vehicle, possession of a large capacity firearm, two counts of carrying a firearm without a license, for the revitalization effort. “I’m all for it, I think Everett Square needed to be done years ago,” she said. Councillor-at-Large Wayne Matewsky suggested demolishing the Bouvier Building, which has been vacant for a number of years. “It’s a blighted building,” he said. “This building is a mess; I’d like to see it eliminated completely; let’s just call it a day over there.” Matewsky also reminded the council about the importance of having a vibrant downtown, particularly after the casino opens. “We are no longer going to be little Everett – we are going to be big-time Everett,” he said. and resisting arrest. Vlock said Judge Benjamin Barnes ordered Odom to be held without bail and that a dangerousness hearing be scheduled for Feb. 13. Vlock said a cash bail of $1,500 was set for Guimaraes. She said Barnes also ordered him to check in with a probation officer five times a week and to stay off the streets between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Guimaraes will be back in court on Feb. 27.

Within that figure, Police Chief Steven Mazzie said, Everett is slated to receive $29,500. “Historically, Central American gang violence (MS-13) has been a consistent problem for many years in Metro Boston, including Everett,” he said, adding that the MS-13 gang has been one of the greater threats, and “Although they exist in various numbers we have been able to control them.” Mayor Carlo DeMaria said Shannon CSI is crucial to preserving residents’ quality of life. “The Shannon Grant will help to provide additional resources to prevent gang influence, to intervene when gang activity occurs and to give better alternatives to kids than joining gangs,” he said. “The grant will allow us to build upon different strategies that have been developed and to provide our officers with additional means of protecting and serving.” The grant is part of a $7.7 million effort from Gov. Charlie Baker, Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito and Secretary of Public Safety and Thomas Turco. To date, the Baker-Polito Administration has invested $33 million in Shannon CSI. “The Shannon Initiative is a successful program that allows the Commonwealth to partner with local communities and make a serious impact to prevent youth violence and gang activity,” Baker said in a written statement. “We are pleased to announce today’s recipients and look forward to working with everyone involved on another successful year of continuing Senator Shannon’s legacy of improving the lives of young people all across Massachusetts.” Polito also expressed her support for Shannon CSI. “Our municipal and local partners are on the front lines of combatting the gang violence that threatens the safety and well-being of everyone in their communities,” she said. “It is our honor to partner with them and members of the Legislature to support a program that helps get young people back on track and makes our communities safer.” Turco said the grants are a sound yearly investment. “We are proud to join with these communities and partners each year to help provide the tools necessary to make a serious impact on youth violence and gang activity,” he said. “Disrupting illegal activity makes these communities safer and helps young people redirect their lives in a positive direction.” The program was established in 2006 in memory of the late State Sen. Charles E. Shannon, who represented the Second Middlesex District from 1991 to 2005. Shannon was a 20-year veteran of the Lexington Police Department prior to his service on Beacon Hill.

A sensational opportunity for EHS sophomores EHS partners with Summer Search E verett High School (EHS) has launched a formal partnership with an innovative summer program that offers transformative experiences and invaluable mentoring to students from low-income communities. Summer Search, which was established in 1990 and has an extensive track record of helping students become leaders in their communities, has added EHS to the list of its 30-plus high school partners in Greater Boston. “This is a tremendous opportunity, far beyond what most high school students could realistically hope to do over the summer,” said EHS Guidance Director Kathleen McCormack. “We are very fortunate to have a relationship with Summer Search, and we look forward to expanding it in the years to come.” By way of introduction, Summer Search Director of School & Community Engagement Martina Durant visited EHS and met with sophomores on Monday morning to go over the specifics of the program and the application process. Summer Search is built around three main themes: Summer experiences, mentoring and college advising. The organization is staffed by professional, fulltime mentors who are carefully matched with students with similar interests. Students and mentors communicate once a week through the senior year of high school, including help with college applications and the financial aid and scholarship process. Summer Search then pairs students with a professional mentor who works with them for six years after their high school graduation. Summer experiences include travel and community service opportunities and internships. All sophomores take a two- to three-week “wilderness trip” that involves any number of activities, including canoeing, rock climbing and backpacking. All costs associated with the trip, including airfare and any necessary equipment, are paid for by Summer Search. Juniors have several options to choose from, including internships and community service trips to locations across the EHS | SEE PAGE 13 WE WORK FOR YOU! * Have your car repaired by Real Manufacturer Certiified Technicians * An I-CAR GOLD CLASS SHOP Highest Certificate in the Repair Industry * Premier Insurance Co.

DiDomenico garners additional $2.5 million for elementary schools I n October of 2018, the City of Everett and State Senator Sal DiDomenico worked with the Everett Public Schools (EPS) to provide an additional $2.5 million for the 2018-19 school year to help relieve high classes sizes in the district’s five elementary schools. The additional $2.5 million in Chapter 70 funds were secured by Senator DiDomenico and turned over to the EPS thanks to the collaborative efforts of Mayor Carlo DeMaria, the Everett City Council, and the Everett School Committee. When school began in September, class sizes were approaching, or topping, 30 students at several grade levels. The accompanying chart at left shows how the funds have enabled the district to solve this problem. “We thank the Senator DiDomenico and the city for helping us quickly find a solution to this problem,” said Interim Superintendent Janice Gauthier. “Class size is directly related to student performance, and this money helped ensure that we can continue to put the success of our students at the heart of everyANGELO’S "Over 40 Years of Excellence!" 1978-2019 Regular Unleaded $2.239 Mid Unleaded $2.639 Super $2.699 Diesel Fuel $2.839 KERO $4.759 Diesel $2.849 FULL SERVE HEATING OIL 24-Hour Burner Service Call for Current Price!

(Courtesy photo) Number of bicyclist strikes starting to rise By Christopher Roberson S ince 2014, there have been 151 motor vehicle crashes in Everett involving pedestrians or bicyclists. Within that figure, 112 pedestrians and 39 bicyclists were struck during that five-year period. According to the Everett Police Department, a combined 56 pedestrians were struck in 2014 and 2015 while another 25 were struck in 2016. Police also reported one pedestrian fatality since 2014. However, the number of pedestrian strikes decreased to 15 in 2017. Police have recorded 16 pedestrian strikes thus far since 2018. In addition, 11 bicyclists were hit in 2014 and 10 were hit in 2015. The number of crashes involving bicyclists dropped to four in 2016 and to three in 2017. However, that number has GREAT EXPECTATIONS climbed to 11 since 2018. In terms of injuries, police reported five pedestrian injuries in 2014, eight in 2015, 12 in 2016, six in 2017 and 14 since 2018. In addition, four bicyclists were injured in 2014 and five were injured in 2015. While that number dropped to two in 2016 and three in 2017, it is on the rise once again with police reporting seven bicyclist injuries since 2018. Police Chief Steven Mazzie said the number of residents riding bicycles has increased during the past two years with the presence of bicycle lanes and the various bike share companies in the city. “When there are areas of heavy traffic, it is a viable option for many people to commute to and from work, school, etc.,” said Mazzie. “Over the years, many of the newer immigrants were the ones who were getting hit, and many of these incidents were outside of crosswalk areas.” Everett resident makes Dean’s List at Wentworth Institute of Technology A ndres Jimenez of Everett has made the Dean’s List at Wentworth Institute of TechFriday, February 15 at 8 PM Singer/Guitarist DAVID MACK Saturday, February 16 at 8 PM DJ LOGIK Dance to all the Hits of Yesterday and Today!

The Bulldogs did eventually Carolann Cardinale win the contest by 12, 66-54, but for coach Stanley Chamblain’s young crew it was an excellent test to what they will be experiencing in the upcoming state tournament. The Tide boys, however, remain in a dogfight for second place with Somerville and Lynn Classical with four games left on the regular season schedule. The Tide did beat host Somerville, 53-47 Wednesday night, Feb. 13, in a makeup game after Tuesday’s snowstorm. They then took on Lynn Classical Feb. 14 after press deadline, followed by games against Tech Boston Saturday night at home, and Salem also at home Monday night, before Central Catholic comes to town Wednesday to wrap up the regular season. “Lynn English was one of those games that we fought hard throughout,” said Chamblain. “We trailed by 14 at halftime, but we came all the way back in the third quarter to take a three-point lead.” However, the Bulldogs took advantage of some inopportune Everett turnovers to secure the victory late in the fourth quarter. Omar Quilter was Everett’s leading scorer in this game with 13 points. Jaden Mahabir was next in line with 12. John Monexant chipped in with 10. Despite the loss, Chamblain said that he was definitely encouraged by his team’s play, as they look for consistency with the postseason right around the corner. Last Tuesday, Feb. 5, Everett escaped with a 50-49 victory over host Marblehead. The local quintet was ahead by 10 at one point, but then it hit a stretch that they just couldn’t buy a basket, which allowed the Magicians to chip away at the deficit. “Marblehead started to employ a zone defense, and we struggled to find our shot,” said Chamblain. “[Marblehead] was defending us well, and they also started to hit their free throws to make the game close.” Monexant paced the Everett attack in this game with 16 points. Quilter was close behind with 12. The Tide was only ahead by two at halftime, 29-27. But then, they widen the game to six after three quarters, 45-39. “The whole season has been up and down for us, and so nothing surprises me like this close game with Marblehead,” said Chamblain. “Sometimes with our youth and inexperience we are not as aggressive as we should be.” But after beating Somerville Wednesday night, Everett is getting closer to locking up the second spot in the NEC North. Tide hockey team cruises to a smooth finish with two wins Annual Mulloy Tournament next week By Joe Mitchell T Jacquelin Mcausland-Emmanuel he Everett High School boys’ hockey team (5-12-1) is ending the season on a solid note after winning its last two games: against Nashoba Tech on Senior Night last Wednesday, Feb. 6, 5-2; and then O’Bryant in South Boston last Saturday, 7-5. This is the first year of a co-op with Mystic Valley Regional Charter School, and the relationship couldn’t be any better, according to Coach Alex Naumann. There are 13 in the program from Mystic Valley, six of them presently on the varsity. “This merger is really helping the program, especially on the lower levels with many seventh and eighth graders currently on the JV roster,” said Naumann. The Tide has now beaten O’Bryant and Nashoba Tech twice to go along with a victory over East Boston. They also tied the ManchesEHS | FROM PAGE 8 Veronica Bento (Advocate file photos) country and abroad.

Sophomore Brendan Currie was the offensive leader against O’Bryant with three goals and two assists. Senior Nick Snook and sophomore Max Brown, who attends Mystic Valley, were credited with one goal and one assist apiece, along with Brian Giannelli. Senior Dom Saia contributed one goal and two assists to the winning cause. Junior goalie D.J. Schovanec was in net throughout the first two periods before freshman backup Jonathan Nogueira took over the goaltending chores in the third period. The Tide led, 2-0, after one period, and 7-2 after two. It was a dominant effort that pleased Naumann, as he and his staff continue to build a solid foundation for the future. Jason Suppa joins Saia and Snook as captains of this year’s The eligibility requirements are not overly strict – students must be sophomores in high school and be eligible for free or reduced lunch – but only 10 or so EHS students will be admitted to Summer Search this year, although the Guidance Department is hoping to exclub. Brian Delorey, Brown, Saia, Currie and Snook all lit the lamp in the victory over Nashoba last week. Brown was the leader in helpers with two. Schovanec played the entire game in net to help record at the time the team’s fourth win of the year. He made 18 saves altogether. It was a sweet sendoff for the six seniors on the roster, who were able to end their regular-season scholastic careers in front of the home fans on a successful note. Only the annual Mulloy Tournament at the Veterans Rink is left to be played for the Everett boys. Essex Tech will face Northeast Voke in the first game of the tournament on Monday at 5 p.m. before host Everett takes on Somerville at 7 p.m. The consolation and championship games will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 20, at 5 and 7 p.m., respectively. pand that number as the relationship grows.

B OSTON — A Brazilian national pleaded guilty this week in federal court in Boston to charges of ATM skimming in several towns north of Boston, including Everett. Alexandre Kawamura, 43, pleaded guilty to two counts of using counterfeit access devices (debit and credit cards), four counts of possessing device-making equipment (ATM skimming devices and pinhole cameras), and two counts of aggravated identity theft. U.S. District Court Judge Leo T. Sorokin scheduled sentencing for April 17, 2019. Kawamura, who legally entered the U.S. on a tourist visa, will be subject to deportation after he completes his sentence. Kawamura placed hidden skimming devices and pinhole cameras on Eastern Bank ATMs in Saugus, Stoneham, Medford, and Everett, every day between February 25 and March 16, 2018, when he was arrested. The purpose of the skimming devices was to record bank account information on the magnetic strips of debit and credit cards that unwitting victims inserted into the ATMs. The purpose of the pinhole cameras was to capture the victims’ PINs as they were entered on the ATM keypads. On March 8, 2018, Kawamura possessed a counterfeit debit card with a magnetic strip that contained the stolen bank account number of a Milton woman.

Dear Savvy Senior, What are the IRS income tax filing requirements for retirees this tax season? My income dropped way down when I had to retire last year, so I’m wondering if I need to file a tax return this year. Retired Ron Dear Ron, Whether or not you are required to file a federal income tax return this year actually depends on several factors: how much you earned last year (in 2018); the source of that income; your age; and your filing status. Here’s a rundown of this tax season’s IRS tax filing requirement thresholds. For most people, this is pretty straightforward. If your 2018 gross income – which includes all taxable income, not counting your Social Security benefits, unless you are married and filing separately – was below the threshold for your filing status and age, you may not have to file. But if it’s over, you will. • Single: $12,000 ($13,600 if you’re 65 or older by Jan. 1, 2019). • Married filing jointly: $24,000 ($25,300 if you or your spouse is 65 or older; or $26,600 if you’re both over 65). • Married filing separately: $5 at any age. • Head of household: $18,000 ($19,600 if age 65 or older). • Qualifying widow(er) with dependent child: $24,000 ($25,300 if age 65 or older). To get a detailed breakdown on federal filing requirements, along with information on taxable and nontaxable income, call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of the “Tax Guide for Seniors” (publication 554) or see IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/ p554.pdf. Check Here Too There are, however, some other financial situations that can require you to file a tax return, even if your gross income falls below the IRS filing requirements. For example, if you earned more than $400 from self-employment in 2018, owe any special taxes like an alternative minimum tax, or get premium tax credits because you, your spouse or a dependent is enrolled in a Health Insurance Marketplace (Obamacare) plan, you’ll need to file. You’ll also need to file if you’re receiving Social Security benefits, and one-half of your benefits plus your other gross income and any tax-exempt interest exceeds $25,000, or $32,000 if you’re married and filing jointly. To figure all this out, the IRS offers an interactive tax assistant tool on their website that asks a series of questions that will help you determine if you’re required to file, or if you should file because you’re due a refund. It takes less than 15 minutes to complete. You can access this tool at IRS.gov/filing – click on “Do I Need to File?” Or, you can get assistance over the phone by calling the IRS helpline at 800-829-1040. You can also get face-to-face help at a Taxpayer Assistance Center. See IRS.gov/localcontacts or call 800-829-1040 to locate a center near you. Check Your State Even if you’re not required to file a federal tax return this year, don’t assume that you’re also excused from filing state income taxes. The rules for your state might be very different. Check with your state tax agency before concluding that you’re entirely in the clear. For links to state tax agencies see Taxadmin.org/state-tax-agencies. Tax Preparation Help If you find that you do need to file a tax return this year, you can get help through the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (or TCE) program. Sponsored by the IRS, TEC provides free tax preparation and counseling to middle and low-income taxpayers, age 60 and older. Call 800-906-9887 or visit IRS.treasury.gov/freetaxprep to locate a service near you. Also check with AARP, a participant in the TCE program that provides free tax preparation at around 5,000 sites nationwide. To locate an AARP Tax-Aide site call 888-227-7669 or visit AARP.org/findtaxhelp. You don’t have to be an AARP member to use this service. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Yes, yes, yes, yes yes, Mikey,” shouted Petrolati to Division Leader Mike Moran. Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. A BEACON HILL ROLL CALL EXCLUSIVE BLINDLY FOLLOW THE LEADER?– The House uses a large electronic voting board that shows how each representative votes on a roll call. Members press a button at their desks and their vote appears next to their name on the board for everyone to see. When a representative votes “yes,” a green light appears next to his or her name. When he or she votes “no,” a red light appears next to his or her name. On January 30, the House was debating the joint rules under which the House and Senate would operate in 2019-2020. House Speaker Bob DeLeo (D-Winthrop) rarely presides over a session and this day was no different as Rep. Tom Petrolati (D-Ludlow) was the acting speaker and the presiding officer calling the shots. As the debate dragged on, House GOP Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading) offered an amendment that would repeal a rule, used for the first time in 2018 that prohibited the appointment of a conference committee after July 17, 2018. A conference committee is a six-member committee appointed by the House speaker and the Senate president to work out a compromise version of a bill when the House and Senate approve different versions of the measure. Jones spoke in favor of his amendment and no one spoke against it. His amendment seemed non-controversial. Rep. Jones said that the new rule, pushed by the Senate leadership in the rules adopted for the previous two-year session, was designed to have more legislation acted upon and more transparency. The rule forces lawmakers to appoint a conference committee well before July 31 after which the rules basically make it impossible to appoint a conference committee because the House and Senate meet only in brief, informal sittings a couple of days a week until the annual session ends at the beginning of January 2019. The rationale was that a conference committee often takes weeks to hammer out a compromise bill and any committee appointed after July 17 would likely not have time to reach an agreement. Critics say that the new rule backfired and failed to accomplish its intent. Each branch had approved different versions of an important $666 million economic development package but it was after July 17 – too late to appoint a conference committee under the new rule. The House and Senate on July 23 began meeting behind closed doors and then sending different versions of the bill to each other until the Senate ended up accepting a new House version which neither House or Senate members had any time to read. Despite that, on July 31, the House approved the package 151-0 and the Senate passed it 36-0. Gov. Baker signed the bill after vetoing several sections. Seconds after the roll call on the Jones amendment began, Acting Speaker Petrolati and Speaker DeLeo both voted “no” and a red light appeared next to their names. According to House rules, the acting speaker (Petrolati) actually casts the vote for the speaker and a court officer casts the vote for the acting speaker. As is often the case, many Democrats quickly took their cue from DeLeo and Petrolati and voted “no” as well. This is not an uncommon occurrence in the House. In this case it was at least 63 Democrats who played “follow the leader” and voted “no.” As the board began to fill up with “no” votes, Petrolati apparently took notice and talked into a microphone he didn’t Suddenly, DeLeo and Petrolati’s votes switched to “yes.” And then all 63 Democrat who had initially voted “no” suddenly switched his or her vote to “yes.” The House’s only unenrolled non-party affiliated member Susannah Whipps (U-Athol) had also voted “no” and then switched to “yes.” There may have been more than 63 Democrats who first voted “no.” While the “no” votes appeared on the electronic voting board for a brief time, once the switchers changed their vote to “yes,” there was no longer a permanent record of the “no” vote. Beacon Hill Roll Call watched a videotape of the session in order to see who voted “no” at the beginning. The camera pans the scoreboard a few times but there is no guarantee we were able to spot every red light. You can see the story unfold by watching the video of the January 30 House session at https://malegislature. gov/Events/Sessions/Detail/3297. Fast forward on the counter to 5:35:49 and watch it until 5:37:39. It all happened in a little over two minutes. To the reader and viewer, this appears that these 63 Democrats simply watched how DeLeo and Petrolati voted and blindly followed their lead and voted “no.” And then switched to “yes” when DeLeo and Petrolati switched to “yes.” Did these 63 even know what they were voting on? Did they care? What would cause them to switch their votes other than they decided to follow the “suggestion” of the speaker? Beacon Hill Roll Call set out to find the answers and over the course of three days, sent two e-mails to each of the 63 Democrats who had flip-flopped. The only response was from Rep. Paul Donato, a member of the leadership team who also usually acts as the acting speaker and presides over the sessions. Donato gave a brief explanation basically saying that there was confusion surrounding the vote and some members mistakenly voted “no” and then had to switch to “yes.” Not a single one of the other 63 representative responded to our e-mails. Beacon Hill Roll Call also reached out twice via e-mail to the four key players in this incident: House Speaker Bob DeLeo, Acting Speaker Tom Petrolati, House Minority Leader Brad Jones and Rep. “Mikey” Moran. None of them responded to our e-mails. Here are the 63 Democratic representatives and one unaffiliated non-party member who switched their votes from “no” to “yes.” James Arciero (D-Westford), Brian Ashe (D-Longmeadow), Bruce Ayers (D-Quincy), Christine Barber (D-Somerville), John Barrett (D-North Adams), Jennifer Benson (D-Lunenburg), David Biele (D-South Boston), Antonio Cabral (D-New Bedford), Daniel Cahill (D-Lynn), Daniel Carey (D- Easthampton), Gerard Cassidy (D-Brockton), Michelle Ciccolo (D-Lexington), Claire Cronin (D-Easton), Daniel Cullinane (D-Boston), Mark Cusack (D-Braintree), Marcos Devers (D-Lawrence), Daniel Donahue (D-Worcester), Paul J.

Only four of those members responded. Beacon Hill Roll Call also asked some lobbying groups what they thought. Here are some responses: Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa (D-Northampton): “I was proud to have voted in favor of this amendment along with a handful of other Democrats and several Republicans from the get-go. I was as surprised as many watching from the gallery that many changed their vote after the speaker's vote was cast. As a first-year representative at my first formal session, I had not witnessed something like that before. I firmly believe we should always vote on bills, and amendments, based on their merit and, thankfully, I can say that each vote I cast was done with my district's best interest at heart. My district has been very vocal in its support of making the legislative process clearer with more room for civic participation and greater transparency.” Rep. Russell Holmes (D-Boston): “Welcome to the House of Representatives. This is exactly how the House runs itself and the members should be ashamed. The speaker is like a shepherd leading a flock of sheep. Some members may have known what they were voting on and may have even agreed with Brad Jones. However, agreement with Brad does not matter if it conflicts with the speaker. This is particularly the case in the rules debate as the speaker has given orders to all Democrats that he wants no changes and that he is taking notice for consideration of leadership and committee assignments. We term the statements and speeches in rules debate as ‘community auditions.’ The public is well informed. Many know that the only reason these Democrats changed their votes is because they await their instructions on all votes from the speaker. Members do not think of what is in the best interest of their districts but instead they consider what is in the best interest of themselves by voting with the speaker. This disenfranchises the voters who sent them to the Statehouse. I refuse to arrive in the building and hand over the voice and power of my constituents to the speaker. The best way to eliminate this hypocrisy is to bring pay equity to the building and pay all the members the same regardless of positions in leadership or committee. I was a ‘yes’ vote and voting with Brad before seeing how the speaker voted. Ideas should rule the day.” Rep. Joe McKenna (R-Webster): "I think that every representative has had the experience at one time or another of casting a vote only to have a colleague come and talk to them and explain an issue perhaps in different terms which may cause them to change their mind. I think that is okay. Unfortunately, what we saw during the rules debate is entirely different and is something that we have seen numerous times in my two plus terms. It's simply a 'follow-the-leader' mentality where members seem to take their sole direction from the color of the light next to the speaker's name with apparently little awareness or concern for the matter being voted on or its content. Leaning on colleagues for guidance and advice is okay; but the type of blind following we saw takes it too far." Rep. Shawn Dooley (R-Norfolk): “Thanks for doing a story on this. Seen it happen quite a few times during my tenure. I think the fact that this happened during the rules debate, while only a handful of legislators were fighting for greater transparency and communication, was quite ironic.” Rep. Mike Connolly (D-Cambridge):“I cannot speak for anyone else’s decision-making process, but I am proud to say that I immediately voted in support of this amendment based on its merits and therefore was one of the few Democrats who voted in support of it before the speaker changed his position.” Chip Ford, Executive Director of Citizens for Limited Taxation: “Captured red-handed on video doing what The Best Legislators Money Can Buy do best – mindlessly following the leader. What a real-time votes tote board exposed through an embarrassing glitch is revealing of what’s so wrong on Beacon Hill. Good catch Beacon Hill Roll Call.” Paul Craney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance: “Even during the important rules debate, when issues of transparency and process are supposed to be debated out in the public, some lawmakers don’t even have the interest in knowing what they are voting on and instead rely on the speaker for instruction. This type of blind voting by some lawmakers is how the Legislature finds itself as the least transparent legislative body in America.” Jonathan Cohn, Chair of the Issues Committee of Progressive Massachusetts: "Too often, House Democrats will vote in lockstep with the speaker, whether he's right or wrong, without doing their own due diligence about what they are, in fact, voting on. Legislators should come to their own conclusions about bills and amendments based on their own promises and principles and the input from advocates, policy experts, and their own constituents — not just on how the speaker chooses to vote … The House had a long debate about its rules, but for the rest of the session, there needs to be a serious debate about the norms by which the chamber operates and how badly they are in need of a change." HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of February 4-8, the House met for a total of 57 minutes while the Senate met for a total of two hours and 23 minutes.

On March 16, 2018, Kawamura used a counterfeit credit card to buy clothing at a sporting goods store in Medford. The name on the card was an alias, and the card’s magnetic strip contained the stolen Eastern Bank account number of a Medford man, whose account had been compromised the day before. Kawamura was arrested on March 16 after a bank customer called police to report that he had found a skimming device on a drive-up ATM at an Eastern Bank branch in Stoneham. Police responded and discovered that the pinhole camera was still BUYER1 for the company. His experience extends across all facets of environmental protection and government regulation, and he was instrumental in instituting several large-scale sustainability and renewable energy projects at Wynn Resorts. Encore Boston Harbor, which is part of Wynn Resorts, is opening in June of this year. The United States Environmental Protection Agency recently awarded an Environmental Merit Award to Encore Boston Harbor in recognition of their construction of a living shoreline at this site, as well as for the $68 million remediation of the site. “The team at the Mystic River Watershed Association is one of the most progressive and focused group of professionals I’ve had the honor to work with,” said Hansen. “The feats they have accomplished in order to protect the Mystic is an inspiration, and I look forward to helping deliver exciting new programs and environmental solutions that will help support the Association’s goals for generations to come.” Joshua Weinberg is Managing Director and Managing Counsel at State Street Global Advisors, and a resident of Arlington, Mass.
