THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 22, 2025
DiDomenico Delivers Millions for District and Commonwealth in Final Budget
The senator secured and successfully advocated for increased funding levels for countless essential statewide programs
Special to The Advocate
B
OSTON — Senator Sal
DiDomenico delivered
$625,000 for organizations
and schools in the district and
successfully advocated for increasing
or maintaining steady
funding across various essential
statewide programs in the
Fiscal Year 2026 state budget
passed by the Senate, House,
and signed by the Governor.
These local investments will
bolster antipoverty nonprofit
organizations, education
programs, and school arts departments
across Cambridge,
Charlestown, Chelsea and Everett.
Additionally, the funding
and language DiDomenico secured
in the budget for statewide
programs will expand
health care services for those
in need, strengthen food security
programs, help lift families
out of poverty, fill funding
gaps for childcare, aid housing
assistance programs, and support
education programming
for all students.
The state’s new Fiscal Year
2026 budget was approved
on a bipartisan basis in both
chambers, and it neither raises
taxes on residents and businesses
nor spends dollars from
the state’s stabilization fund—
also known as the ‘Rainy Day
Fund’—which currently stands
at a historic $8.1 billion. These
stabilization funds are critical
for safeguarding the Commonwealth’s
economic security
amid imminent federal funding
cuts.
“This budget will directly benefit
students, patients, commuters,
tenants, and homeowners
in my district and throughout
the Commonwealth,” said Sal
DiDomenico, Assistant Majority
Leader of the Massachusetts
Senate. “I am proud
to bring hundreds of thousands
of dollars to community organizations
and schools in my district
and ensure stable funding
for some of the state’s most impactful
education, food insecurity,
and anti-poverty programs
that provide vital services for
our residents. I want to thank
Senate President Spilka and
Chair Rodrigues for all their
work ushering through this impactful
budget that will benefit
our residents now and promote
our state’s success into
the future.”
Senator DiDomenico’s local
amendments totaling
$625,000 will support:

• Cambridge Economic Opportunity
Committee
• Cambridge Nonprofit Coalition
•

• La Vida Scholars
• Loop Lab

ensures individuals with ALS
live a higher quality of life and
receive the support and care
they deserve.
The Boston Housing Authority
supports thousands
of low- and moderate-income
families across Boston with
their critical housing needs.
The Pediatric Palliative Care
program provides invaluable
comprehensive care for children
living with life-limiting or
end of life illnesses, as well as
support for their families.
Senator DiDomenico’s successful
advocacy prioritizing
funding for state programs
includes:
$360 million for the Commonwealth
Cares for Children
(C3) grant program, which is
matched with $115 million in
funds from the Early Education
and Care Operational Grant
Fund, for a total investment of
$475 million. Despite the loss
of federal funds after the COVID
pandemic, the Commonwealth
has maintained this vital early
education program which has
lowered costs for families and
increased opportunities for
teachers in the field.
$517.6 million for income-eligible
early education and
child care.
$20 million for grants to Head
Start programs to promote
school readiness for young
children in low-income households.
$50.5
million for the Massachusetts
Emergency Food Assistance
Program to ensure
individuals and families across
our state have access to food
when in need.
$20.1 million for the Healthy
Incentives Program to support
healthy food access for
households in need.
$35 million for Family Resource
Centers (FRCs) to maintain
mental health resources
available to families.
$3.1 million for the Boston,
Cambridge and Everett fire department
hazardous material
response teams.
$20.6 million for employment
services programs to help people
with lower incomes move
toward economic security
$15.5 million for the Commonwealth
Preschool Partnership
Initiative (CPPI), matching
$5 million in general revenue
for a total of $20.5 million,
to support a pathway to universal
pre-kindergarten expansion,
including in Gateway Cities and
the Summer Step Up program.
$15 million for early literacy
initiatives and programs.
$1.25 million for the Young
Mothers Experiencing Acute
Trauma Pilot Program, a behavioral
intervention program
that works to stabilize and support
young women, most of
whom are mothers, who are
traumatized survivors of abuse
and neglect.
$1.25 million for the Prostate
Cancer Action Council.
Maintain the annual child’s
clothing allowance, providing
$500 per child for eligible families
to buy clothes for the upcoming
school year.

As the fi rst day of football practice got underway last
Friday, Everett native Rob DiLoreto feels right at home
in charge of the Crimson Tide the second time around
Team begins scrimmage season tomorrow
(Aug. 23) against host Catholic Memorial
By Joe McConnell
A
uthor Thomas Wolfe’s
quote certainly doesn’t
apply to Rob DiLoreto, because
he is coming home again,
where it all began.
DiLoreto grew up right here
in Everett. He played in its
youth sports leagues, went
through its school system and
coached its sports teams, including
being an assistant and
head football coach at the high
school. He understands the Everett
athlete, because he was
one himself, and he certainly
understands Everett politics,
and everything that goes
with it.
And so, after being unceremoniously
forced out as the
EHS football coach two years
ago, despite leading the team
to two straight playoff appearances,
he’s back in charge of
the Crimson Tide, because he
wants to be here.
His fi rst incarnation as head
coach began during the pandemic,
where everything was
turned upside down. The
games were played in the
spring, instead of the fall, and
there weren’t any playoff s. But
everything returned to normal
in the fall of 2021, and so did
Everett’s participation in the
football playoff s, this time under
DiLoreto’s watch. He gets
do it all over again this year after
succeeding his successor,
Justin Flores.
While the regular season is
still weeks away, DiLoreto, like
all of his counterparts throughout
the state, returned to the
fi eld for the offi cial day of pracDIDOMENICO

benefit levels to help families
move out of deep poverty.
Additionally, the budget
ensures that pregnant women
can access TAFDC, regardless
of where they are in their
outs in the strength and conditioning
program that was setup
by DiLoreto and his coaches,
and they were more than
pleased with the results after
seeing the players again last
week.
“We were impressed with the
overall strength and fl exibility
of every player,” DiLoreto said.
Rob DiLoreto
EHS Head Football Coach
tice last Friday morning, Aug.
15, and by all accounts it went
very well.
“The first few practices at
Glendale Park have gone pretty
well,” said DiLoreto. “Every player
is working hard to prepare
for the season, and me and my
assistant coaches are starting
to get a feel for the talent level
that’s on this year’s team. And
as a result, we are excited about
the eff ort that we are seeing
from every player.”
Everett High football coaches
over the years have never had
issues with the number of players
signing up to play, and that
trend is continuing for DiLoreto
this year. He welcomed 55 upperclassmen
and 22 freshmen
to practice last Friday.
The practices begin every
day at 4 p.m., and they are at
Glendale, because the turf at
Everett Memorial Stadium is
being resurfaced and spruced
up for the 2025 campaign.
The team as a whole was
ready for the fi rst day of practice
after a summer of workpregnancy.
Senator
DiDomenico’s policy
amendments will:
Instruct the Department of Elementary
and Secondary Education
(DESE) to collect data
on sex and relationship education
in public schools so that we
can understand what students
in our state are being taught
about an important subject.
“We now need to get them in
football shape, and that will
continue to develop as we transition
to full-padded practices,
which will defi nitely be more
physical and more intense.”
The Tide’s fi rst scrimmage is
scheduled for tomorrow (Aug.
23) at 2 p.m. against former
EHS coach and DiLoreto’s mentor
John DiBiaso’s Catholic Memorial
squad in West Roxbury.
They will then head to Danvers
for another scrimmage
next Friday (Aug, 29) against
St. John’s Prep at 5 p.m., followed
by the 2025 home opener
at Everett Memorial Stadium
against Greater Boston League
(GBL) rival Medford on Friday,
Sept. 5, at 6 p.m.

Got Milk? You’d Better Hope So.
D
By Dr. Matthew Drake
airy milk is making a
comeback -- and not a
moment too soon for America’s
bone health.
For years, calcium intake has
declined, even as bone-weakening
lifestyle factors have
surged. Americans are spending
more time indoors, sitting
at desks, getting less vitamin D,
and doing fewer weight-bearing
activities. All of this contributes
to an overlooked but
growing crisis: our bones are
becoming weaker, at an earlier
age, and in greater numbers
than most people realize.

and Metabolic Bone Disease
Services at the Hospital for Special
Surgery, I see this firsthand.
One of the biggest misconceptions
patients have is that bone
loss is unavoidable with aging -something
to worry about only
later in life, if at all. But bone
health is a lifelong investment,
and Americans are dangerously
underinvesting.
We aren’t getting nearly
enough calcium, and the consequences
of that deficiency
are showing up sooner and
more severely than expected.
It’s time for patients and providers
to prioritize bone health
-- through better education,
daily habits, and preventive
activity long before suffering
a fracture.
Think of your skeleton as a
LIKE US ON FACEBOOK ADVOCATE NEWSPAPER
FACEBOOK.COM/ADVOCATE.NEWS.MA
cement foundation. Most of
the structure you’ll rely on as
an adult is built during adolescence
when the body is rapidly
laying down bone.
Calcium is the primary
mineral in that foundation
-- essential for building and
maintaining strong, healthy
bones. That’s why children
and teenagers need substantial
amounts to develop peak
bone mass.
But even after the growth
phase ends, bones still need
care. Adults must continue
supporting their skeletal
health with steady calcium intake,
adequate vitamin D, and
regular physical activity.
Fall short, and your body
will draw calcium from your
skeleton. If you’re not getting
enough of the mineral, or don’t
have enough vitamin D to help
absorb the amount you take in,
your bones become the backup
supply to maintain normal
blood levels.
That silent sacrifice can lead
to osteoporosis, a progressive
disease that leaves bones fragile
and more prone to break
from minor falls or everyday
activities.
Osteoporosis affects at least
10 million Americans, and almost
45 million others are at
increased risk for fracture due
to low bone density. Over half
of U.S. adults aged 50 and older
are vulnerable to potentially
devastating fractures.
The economic burden is just
as sobering. Osteoporosis-related
fractures cost the U.S.
healthcare system tens of billions
annually.
We can’t treat our way out
of this. There’s already a critical
shortage of specialists who
manage bone health and osteoporosis
specifically. We need
to prevent it, starting with patient
education and a renewed
focus on calcium -- and vitamin
D.
That begins at the table.
Calcium from dairy products
like milk, yogurt, and cheese
is among the most easily absorbed.
For those who are lactose
intolerant or dairy-free,
calcium-fortified beverages
and supplements can help fill
the gap -- but they need to be
taken correctly.
We also need to rethink
physical activity. Our bones respond
to gravity and ground
impact -- meaning walking,
running, or strength training
are far better for our skeletons
than swimming or cycling.
“Use it or lose it” isn’t a cliché
-- it’s biology.
The recent uptick in milk
consumption is a welcome
trend. But the bigger opportunity
is cultural: to start thinking
about bone health the way
we think about heart or brain
health -- as something worth
preserving every day.
We only get one skeleton.
Let’s treat it like the vital organ
system it is.

FBI Warns New Englanders to Beware of Law Enforcement
and Government Impersonation Scams
Federal agencies do not threaten individuals or demand immediate payment
he FBI Boston Division has
seen an increase in reports
of scammers targeting New
Englanders through unsolicited
telephone calls in which
the caller claims to be a representative
of well-known law
enforcement and government
agencies, including the FBI, to
extort money or steal personally
identifi able information.
Be advised, law enforcement
T
and federal agencies do not
call individuals threatening
arrest or demanding money.
Scammers often spoof caller
ID information, and these
phone calls are fraudulent
even if they appear to be coming
from an agency’s legitimate
phone number. Recipients
should hang up immediately
and report the call.
The tactics used by scammers
continually change but
often share many of the same
characteristics, including the
utilization of intimidation tactics.
Typically, the scammers
will use an urgent tone; advise
the recipient of the call
that charges have been—or
will soon be—filed against
them; and threaten to confi
scate the recipient’s property,
freeze their bank accounts,
or have them arrested unless
payment is made immediately.
If the recipient questions
the caller, the caller becomes
more aggressive. The recipients
are advised that it will
cost thousands of dollars in
fees or court costs to resolve
the matter, and the caller typically
instructs people to wire
“settlement” money or provide
payment via prepaid cards,
gift cards, wire transfers, and
cash, sent by mail or inserted
into cryptocurrency ATMs
to avoid arrest. The scammer
may also tell the victim to keep
the matter secret from family
and friends.
“These fraudsters are capitalizing
on fear and intimidation
because nobody wants
to be the subject of a law enforcement
investigation,” said
Ted E. Docks, special agent in
charge of the FBI’s Boston Division.
“We’ve seen an increase
in these scams which is why
we’re reminding the public to
resist the urge to act immediately
and verify who is actually
contacting you.”
According to the FBI’s Internet
Crime Complaint Center
(IC3), 17,367 people reported
being victims of government
impersonation scams
in 2024, with losses totaling
$405,624,084. Here in the Boston
Division, which includes
all of Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, and Rhode
Island, 778 complaints were
fi led with fi nancial losses totaling
$12,948,552.
• 98 victims in Maine reported
losing $1,643,432.
• 507 victims in Massachusetts
reported losing $9,511,181.
• 106 victims in New Hampshire
repor ted losing
$1,646,059.
• 67 victims in Rhode Island
reported losing $147,880.
The FBI will never:
Call or email private citizens
to demand payment, threaten
arrest, or request personal
or sensitive information.
Request payment via prepaid
cards, wire transfers, or
cryptocurrency ATMs to avoid
arrest.
Ask victims to liquidate assets
into cash and/or purchase
gold bars, silver, or other precious
metals.
Ask you to use large sums of
your own money to help catch
a criminal.
Call you about “frozen” Social
Security numbers or inheritances.
Scams
impersonating the
FBI and other government
agencies are a persistent problem
and can also occur via
email. Common hallmarks
of a scam email include misspellings,
missing words, and
incorrect grammar. Fraudulent
emails may give the appearance
of legitimacy by using
pictures of the FBI Director
and/or the FBI seal and letterhead.
Members
of the public seeking
to confi rm that they have
been contacted by an actual
FBI employee are encouraged
to call the FBI Boston Division
at 857-386-2000 and ask to be
connected directly.
To avoid becoming a victim
of this scam, be wary of
answering phone calls from
numbers you do not recognize.
Do not send money to
anybody you do not personally
know and trust. Never give
out your personal information,
including your Social Security
number, over the phone or to
individuals you do not know.
If you think you are a victim
of this scam and suff ered a fi -
nancial loss, cease all contact
with the scammers immediately,
notify your fi nancial institutions
and safeguard any fi -

Have a Safe & Happy School Year!
Mayor Carlo
DeMaria
& The Everett City
Government
(StatePoint) A new school
year brings with it fresh opportunity,
excitement, and,
sometimes, anxiety for parents
and students. Medical
experts say that addressing
health-related issues can
help make for a stress-free
back-to-school season.
“Opening the lines of communication
with your child
and their physician to talk
about nutrition, physical
activity, and the steps you
can take together to have a
healthy and rewarding school
year can help ease some of
those back-to-school jitters
you may be feeling,” says
Bruce A. Scott, MD, president
of the American Medical
Association (AMA).
For a healthy and successful
school year, follow these
doctor-approved tips from
the AMA:
Annual physicals. Visit
your child’s physician every
year. Annual physicals are
critical to ensuring children
are growing and developing
properly.
Talk to your child’s pediatrician
about vaccines. For
the U.S. population in 2019,
childhood vaccines prevented
more than 24 million illWishing

of at least SPF 30 and apply
it before sending your kids to
school. And as you’re shopping
for back-to-school apparel,
look for UV protective
clothes.
Exercise is key. Children
need at least 60 minutes
of exercise daily, so check
their schedule to make sure
they’re getting enough physical
activity. Strive to build
time for bike riding or walking
as a family into the end of
each day.
Talk
to your children
nesses. Vaccines are safe, effective and save lives. Routine childhood immunization is highly
effective at preventing disease over a lifetime, reducing the incidence of all targeted diseases,
including measles, mumps, rubella, polio and varicella (chickenpox). And if your child turns
11 or 12 this year, it’s time to get the HPV vaccine, which protects against the HPV virus – a
virus linked to six types of cancer.
Be conscientious about what your child eats at school. Healthy students are better
learners. School meals should include fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
If you pack your child’s lunch and snacks, try to pack at least two-thirds of their meal with
plant-based foods. Strive to include lean protein, or plant-based protein, and avoid processed
meats and sugary drinks like soda and juice.
Be smart about sunscreen. From gym class and school sports to recess and waiting for
the school bus, kids of all ages spend a good portion of their day outside. It’s important to
take steps to protect your child from damaging UV rays. Look for a broad spectrum sunscreen

about e-cigarettes and other
tobacco products. Make
your children aware of the
dangers of tobacco products
and talk to them about how
to resist peer pressure. From
2022 to 2023, the number of
middle school-aged children
using tobacco products overall
increased by nearly 50%,
with e-cigarettes being the
most commonly used product.
With
a focus on good health,
wellness and nutrition, you
can help prepare your child
for a healthy and happy
school year and a lifetime of
good health.

Does Medicare Cover Ambulance Rides?
Dear Savvy Senior,
A few months ago, I took an
ambulance to the hospital emergency
room because I had a nasty
fall at home but just received
a hefty $1,050 bill from the ambulance
company. Doesn’t Medicare
cover ambulance rides?
Frustrated Benefi ciary
Dear Benefi ciary,
Yes, Medicare does cover
emergency ambulance services
and, in limited cases,
nonemergency ambulance services
too, but only when they’re
deemed medically necessary
and reasonable.
So, what does that means?
First, it means that your medical
condition must be serious
enough that you need an ambulance
to transport you safely
to a hospital or other facility
where you can receive care that
Medicare covers.
If a car or taxi could transport
you without endangering your
health, Medicare won’t pay.
For example, Medicare probably
won’t pay for an ambulance
to take someone with an
arm fracture to a hospital. But
if the patient goes into shock,
or is prone to internal bleeding,
ambulance transport may be
medically necessary to ensure
their safety on the way. The details
make a diff erence.
Second, the ambulance must
take you to the nearest appropriate
medical facility. If you
choose to be transported to a
facility farther away because
the doctor you prefer has staff
privileges there, expect to pay
a greater share of the bill. Medicare
will only cover the cost of
ambulance transport to the
nearest appropriate facility and
no more.
Medicare may also pay for
an emergency fl ight by plane
or helicopter to the nearest
appropriate medical center if
the trip would take too long
on the ground and endanger
your health.
Nonemergency Situations
Medicare may also cover ambulance
transportation in some
cases when you’re not facing a
medical emergency. But to receive
this coverage, your doctor
needs to write an order stating
that an ambulance is medically
necessary because other
ways to get you to an appointment
could endanger
your health.
For example, if you’ve been
diagnosed with end-stage renal
disease, Medicare may pay
if you have a doctor’s order stating
that it is medically necessary
for you to use an ambulance
to take you to and from
a dialysis center.
You also need to know that
in nonemergency situations,
ambulance companies are required
to give you an Advance
Benefi ciary Notice of Noncoverage
or ABN if they believe
Medicare may not pay. This
lets you know that you will be
responsible for paying if Medicare
doesn’t.
Ambulance Costs
Ambulance rides can vary
from several hundred to several
thousand dollars depending
on where you live and how far
you’re transported.
Medicare Part B pays 80 percent
of the Medicare-approved
ambulance rides after you’ve
met your annual Part B deductible
($257 in 2025). You,
or your Medicare supplemental
policy (if you have one), are
responsible for the remaining
20 percent.
If you have a Medicare Advantage
Plan, it must cover the
same services as original Medicare
and may off er some additional
transportation services.
You’ll need to check with your
plan for details.
How to Appeal
If an ambulance company
bills you for services after Medicare
denies payment, but you
think the ride was medically
necessary, you can appeal –
see Medicare.gov, click on “Providers
& Services” followed by
“Claims, Appeals, and Complaints.”
To help your case, ask
the doctor who treated you for
documentation that you needed
an ambulance.
If you need some help, contact
your State Health Insurance
Assistance Program (SHIP), who
can help you fi le an appeal. Go
to ShipHelp.org or call 877-8392675
for contact information.
Send your questions or comments
to questions@savvysenior.org,
or to Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443,

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 22, 2025
BBB Tip: Back to school shopping for tech supplies
A
s the back-to-school season
approaches, parents
and students are gearing
up for the annual shopping
spree. Whether you prefer
in-person shopping or browsing
online, staying informed
and prepared can make this
busy time more manageable
and cost-eff ective. The Better
Business Bureau (BBB) has tips
to help you navigate back-toschool
shopping.
What you’ll learn:
• Steps to take to prepare
for back-to-school shopping
• How to maximize savings
from sales and tax-free weekends
•
The types of sales and discounts
you might be able to
leverage
Before determining what
students might need for the
year, set a budget. Planning
ahead as much as possible
will help keep expenses to a
minimum and help everyone
involved stay on task.
BBB recommends the following
tips when looking for
school-related items, either in
person or online:
In-person shopping
• Create a shopping list before
heading to the store. This
helps you to stay focused and
avoid impulse purchases.
• Shop early. To avoid crowds
and ensure you get the best
selection, start your shopping
early in the season.
• Compare prices between
retailers, save coupons, sign
up for email alerts and redeem
any cash-back or rebate
off ers. This will help you get
the best deals and stay within
budget.
• Check store policies. Be
aware of return policies, especially
for electronics and
clothing, in case you need to
make exchanges or returns.
Research big-ticket
items
• Read reviews. Look for reviews
from credible sources to
understand the pros and cons
of diff erent models.
• Check specifi cations. When
buying new equipment,
check with your child’s school
to learn about any technical
requirements and determine
if any changes are necessary
to the home’s high-speed internet.
Before purchasing an
expensive laptop, tablet or
computer accessory, research
the brands, warranty, customer
reviews and prices at various
stores to ensure the best
deal. Also, look up the retailer’s
reputation on BBB.org.
• Look for student discounts.
Many tech companies offer
discounts for students. Verify
eligibility and take advantage
of these savings.
Shop smart with sales
and tax-free
weekends
• Plan ahead. Mark your calendar
for upcoming sales and
tax-free weekends. These are
ideal times to buy school supplies,
clothing and electronics
without paying sales tax.
Check out the Federation
of Tax Administrators to see
what your state off ers.
• Make a priority list. Decide
which items are most
crucial to purchase during
these sales to maximize your
savings.
• Combine discounts. Look
for opportunities to combine
store sales with manufacturer
rebates or coupons.
Asking for discounts
• Don’t hesitate to ask. When
shopping in person, inquire
if there are any available discounts,
especially for bulk
purchases or fl oor models.
• Leverage loyalty programs.
Sign up for store loyalty programs,
which can off er exclusive
discounts and points on
purchases.
• Use student IDs. Some
store discounts are available
to students with either an
“.edu” email address or a student
ID. If you’re a student or
you have a student in your
family, ask if there are any student
discounts available.
• Visit school supply drives.
Many communities and organizations
host school supply
drives where you can either
donate or receive supplies.
Check with local schools,
community centers or nonprofi
ts.
Consider
buying in bulk
• Team up with other parents.
Consider pooling resources
with other parents to
buy supplies (like paper towels,
tissues, wipes, hand sanitizer)
in bulk, which can be
more cost-eff ective.
• Warehouse stores. Check
out warehouse clubs for bulk
deals on school supplies and
snacks.
Shop wisely
and safely online
• When shopping online, be
wary of ads that feature items
that imply that you might want
or need them based on your
search history. Scammers could
be trying to drive you to a diff erent
website. Take note of the ad
and go to the store’s website by
directly typing into the search
bar. Note the website’s privacy
policy and contact information
and always use a credit card
when purchasing.
• Shop on reputable websites.
Ensure you are purchasing from
well-known and trusted websites.
Look for HTTPS in the URL.
• Use secure payment methods.
Opt for secure payment
methods like credit cards or
payment services that offer
buyer protection.
By following these tips, you
can make your back-to-school
shopping experience smoother,
safer and more economical.
Whether you’re shopping
for essentials or splurging on
big-ticket items, a little planning
and research can go a long
way in ensuring you get the
best value for your money. For
more information, read more
tips at https://www.bbb.org/

of roll calls they missed
can be high even though
they only missed one or two
sessions.
One hundred and seven
(66.9 percent) out of 160 representatives
did not miss any
roll call votes and had a 100
precent roll call attendance
record.
Fifty-three (33.1 percent)
out of 160 representatives
missed one or more roll call
votes.
The representative who
missed the most number of
roll calls is Rep. John Lawn
(D-Watertown) who missed
22 roll calls (69.4 percent
roll call attendance record).
Lawn did not respond to repeated
requests from Beacon
Hill Roll Call asking him
why he missed so many roll
call votes.
Rounding out the top 16
representatives who missed
the most roll call votes are:
Reps. Nicholas Boldyga
(R-Southwick) who missed 20
roll calls (72.2 percent roll call

(D-Somerville), Susannah
Whipps (I-Athol) and Kathtacted
all 16 representatives
and asked them why they
missed some roll calls.
Reps. John Lawn, Christopher
Flanagan, Chynah Tyler,
Patrick Kearney, Mary Keefe,
Tram Nguyen, James Murphy,
Alyson Sullivan-Almeida and
Erika Uyterhoeven did not respond
to repeated requests
asking them to explain their
absences.
Here are the representatives
who responded:
Nicholas Boldyga: “A couple
of days were missed due
to health-related issues in
my immediate family. My responsibilities
as a father of
three young children came
fi rst on those days. Unfortunately,
unlike the Senate that
allows for fully remote participation
on all levels, House
rules make it diffi cult to even
vote remotely.”
Judith Garcia: “I missed
two days due to illness and
two days on offi cial business
with the Chelsea delegation,
participating in the National
All-America City competition
in Denver, Colorado,
which Chelsea won. One of
those four days included 13
roll calls, so it’s important for
readers to know that multiple
roll calls in a single day do
not equal multiple absences.”
John Gaskey: “[Thirteen roll
calls] were on the same day. I
was out of town and unavailable.
[Three more roll calls]
were on the same day [that I
was] involved with a delicate
constituent issue and chose
not to attend, determining
it was more important to assist
constituents in need than
to throw a ‘No’ vote at something
I don’t think should be
legal.”
Natalie Blais: “I was unable
to be present in the House
chamber for the sitting held
on February 6, 2025, due to a
family confl ict … My missing
of roll calls that day was due
entirely to the reason stated.”
Richard Haggerty: “I missed
a single day of voting this
session on February 6, 2025,
when I was unfortunately not
able to attend a session due
to a family commitment.”
Susannah Whipps: “The
missed votes all pertained to
the engrossment or amendments
to one bill, H 57, a supplemental
budget. I headed
out to Boston early but
turned around after observing
the conditions of the
road. Schools across my district
were also closed that day
- February 6, 2025. In the ten
years prior, I had only missed
one vote.”
Kathleen LaNatra: “I missed
those roll call votes because
my husband was in the hospital
undergoing emergency
brain surgery. While I take
my responsibility to be present
and vote very seriously,
during that period my priority
had to be with my family.
I have since returned to full
participation in the House’s
work.”

LANDLORD MUST PAY
REAL ESTATE BROKER’S FEE
– A new law that took eff ect
on August 1 requires landlords,
instead of renters, to
cover the cost of broker fees
unless a renter is the one to
hire the broker fi rst. The law
was part of the $60.9 billion
fi scal 2026 that was signed
by Gov. Maura Healey in July.
“This is about saving you
money, thousands of dollars
you can now spend on whatever
you need or put it away
for the future,” said Healey.
“And this is just one way I’m
lowering costs and getting
after high housing prices.”
“Between first and last
month’s rent, a security deposit
and a broker’s fee —

ALCOHOL DONATIONS
FOR CHARITIES (H 442) –
The House gave initial approval
to legislation that
would allow local licensing
authorities to issue temporary
licenses to charities in
order for the charities to accept
donations of wine, beer
and alcohol for their charitable
events.
Supporters said these licenses
were previously allowed
under 1997 legislation
but the authorization
has since expired.
“Today, more than ever,
nonprofits are in need of
charitable donations to stay
afloat,” said sponsor Rep. Joan
Meschino (D-Hull). “This bill
would allow for safe and regulated
alcohol licensure for
nonprofits in order to raise
revenue at charity events by
partnering with alcohol manufacturers.”
FIRST
RESPONDERS MUST
HAVE NARCAN AVAILABLE
(S 1410) – The Committee
on Mental Health, Substance
Use and Recovery will hold a
hearing on September 15 on
legislation that would require
government entities to supply
first responders with Narcan,
also known by its generic
name naloxone, or another
opioid antagonist which is
used as an emergency treatment
used for the complete
or partial reversal of an opioid
overdose. The bill also incorporates
existing Department
of Public Health-regulated
naloxone training into
the first-aid and cardiopulmonary
resuscitation training
first responders already
undergo.
Sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely
(D-Salem) said the bill would
require the opioid antagonist
to be carried either by the
responder or in their emergency
response vehicle, or
both. “Delays in the administration
of opioid antagonists
can be deadly,” said Lovely.
“We cannot be sure which
category of first responder
will be the first to arrive on
the scene, and training and
providing all first responders
with opioid antagonists
will ensure we are able to effectively
treat overdoses and
save lives.”
LOWER COST OPTIONS
FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
– Secretary of State Bill Galvin’s
Citizen Information Service
has compiled information
about new financial aid
programs available to Massachusetts
students at public
colleges and universities.
The new informational brochure,
“Low and No Cost Options
for Higher Education,”
highlights several new programs
available through the
state’s public colleges. Detailed
information is provided
about the state’s free
community college program,
free tuition at state schools
for lower income students
and scholarships available
for high-achieving community
college students transferring
to one of the UMass
campuses.
“In the last few years, Massachusetts
has created several
new pathways to affordable
learning, but students
and their parents may not be
aware of these options,” Galvin
said. “This publication is
meant to educate the public
about grants and scholarships
that may be available,
to help alleviate the burden
of student loans.”

$46
MILION FOR ELECTRIC
VEHICLE CHARGING
– The Healey Administration
announced a package of
$46 million for electric vehicle
(EV) charging infrastructure
to support the buildout
of EV chargers across Massachusetts.
Supporters said
that the funding will help address
gaps identified by the
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
Coordinating Council, including
the need for more chargers
along secondary corridors
and to support medium-
and heavy-duty vehicles.
“We’re making it easier for
everyone to get around as
more Massachusetts residents
choose to drive electric,”
said Energy and Environmental
Affairs Secretary
Rebecca Tepper. “Not
only are these vehicles fun
to drive but they are typically
less expensive to maintain
than their gas- and dieselpowered
counterparts. We
are committed to building a
cleaner environment and vibrant
economy for everyone.”
“Expanding our robust network
of public EV chargers
will enable electrification of
passenger vehicles as well
as highly polluting mediumand
heavy-duty vans and
trucks,” said Mass Department
of Environmental Protection
(MassDEP) Commissioner
Bonnie Heiple. “This
funding allows MassDEP to
cut air and noise pollution in
communities across the state
— driving real change for a
healthier Massachusetts.”
QUOTABLE QUOTES
“Massachusetts has over
25,000 culverts, most of
which are undersized. By replacing
these outdated culverts
with larger, safer structures,
we can better prepare
our communities for severe
weather. Investing in these
projects now will save our cities
and towns money on disaster
recovery in the future.”
--- Energy and Environmental
Affairs Secretary Rebecca
Tepper announcing $2.9
million in grants to support
ecological restoration projects
across Massachusetts to
strengthen resilience against
extreme weather events, improve
water quality, reduce
flood risk and restore crucial
wildlife habitat.
“Our audit identified a
number of issues that undermine
and negatively impact
the Cannabis Control
Commission’s mission to equitably
and effectively oversee
the cannabis industry in
Massachusetts. Our team appreciates
the commission’s
cooperation throughout this
audit, which serves to identify
areas for needed improve~
