n response to the district being

Committee recently voted unanimously
to send a Statement of
Interest (SOI) to the Massachusetts
School Building Authority
to construct a new high school.
During the committee’s May

overcrowding has become particularly
evident at Everett High

said there have also been discussions
about repurposing

schools would be for students
in grades K-6.
Although overcrowding is a

DiDomenico holds briefi ng
on civil rights legislation
S
tate Senator Sal DiDomenico
recently hosted a legislative
briefi ng, alongside his
House partners State Representatives
Joan Meschino and
Adrian Madaro, regarding new
civil rights legislation they have
fi led: S.996/H.1792, An Act to
create access to justice.
Civil rights legislation is meant
to ensure fair treatment of all
people under the law; however,
laws and regulations often
discriminate against vulnerable
groups of people in negative
ways, and these disparate
impacts are diffi cult to remedy
under the law. In large part, this
is due to the ruling in the case
Alexander v. Sandoval, which
took away the standing of an
individual to bring a claim in
state court bestowed by the Civil
Rights Act of 1964.
An Act to create access to justice
would restore the right of
an individual in Massachusetts
to seek civil rights protection in
Massachusetts courts against a
state government agency when
policies or procedures create
a disparate impact. Specifi cally,
the bill would eliminate the
burden of proving that governmental
programs or activities
that have a disparate impact
were motivated by discriminatory
intent; make legal
remedies accessible by permitting
victims to fi le claims in
state court, rather than federal
court; and protect all vulnerable
groups by prohibiting all
discrimination. The bill is a priority
for a broad coalition of justice
groups and advocates, inly
need to pass this legislation
and empower our most vulnerable
communities to fi ght for
their rights in court.”
“Our bill, An Act to create access
to justice, empowers those
who are discriminated against
to take legal action in defense
of their civil rights,” said Meschino.
“As a broad civil rights
bill and with the 2050 Roadmap
Bill being newly signed into law,
this legislation will be crucial to
continuing the fi ght for environmental
justice.”
“While government actions

State Senator
cluding those fi ghting for environmental
justice, language access,
prisoners’ rights and equitable
education.
“Some of the most pervasive
injustices in our society come
from actions and policies that
appear neutral on their face,
but perpetuate discrimination
when applied,” said DiDomenico.
“We see these injustices play
out all the time in diverse communities
like those I represent
– environmental inequities, educational
disparities, and housing
discrimination – with residents
having little to no recourse
for this injustice. That is
why we need to pass this bill to
enhance civil rights protections
and expand access to justice to
those who have been discriminated
against, even if that discrimination
was unintentional.
If we truly wish to create a
more equitable and just Commonwealth
for all, we absoluteand
policies today are supposed
to be neutral, the reality is that
oftentimes in the real world
they often aff ect various populations
in very diff erent, sometimes
discriminatory, ways,” said
Madaro. “This legislation will allow
communities aff ected by
these disparate impacts to access
the legal system and seek
remedies which ensure equity
and environmental justice.”
During the briefi ng, DiDomenico
and the House sponsors introduced
the legislation by tying
it to the fi ght for environmental
justice and urged fellow
legislators to consider cosponsoring
the bill. Neighbor
to Neighbor Co-Director Andrea
Nyamekye and Alternatives
for Community & Environment
Staff Attorney Sofia
Owen provided additional context
for and history behind the
bill. Panelists advocating for the
passage of the bill shared specific

Bike to the Sea’s trail
targeted for completion
By Christopher Roberson
N
early 30 years after it was
established, Bike to the
Sea is expected to have its
rail trail project, the Northern
Strand Community Trail,
mostly completed by the end
of the year.
Stephen Winslow, co-foundCity
hosts flag placing
at Glendale Cemetery
er of Bike to the Sea, said he
and his wife Helen created
the organization in 1993 after
discovering that the roads
and drivers in Malden were
“very hostile to bicyclists.”
“When we moved to Malden
we found the roads and drivers
were very hostile to bicyclists
and no real convenient
trails,” he said. “About the same
time, the Minuteman Trail was
being built along a former rail
line through Arlington and
proved popular with people of
all ages. We thought that the
overgrown and little-used Saugus
Branch Rail Line offered
the same opportunity, so Helen
and I formed Bike to the Sea
to pursue the idea.”
In 1996, the Boston Metropolitan
Planning Organization
determined that using the Saugus
Branch Rail Line to Lynn
would be the best option for
the trail rather than running
it along Rumney Marsh to ReBIKE

of more than $50 million.
According to the Massachusetts
Gaming Commission, Encore
brought in $50.1 million
for the month of April. Within
that total, $21.1 million came
from table games while the
remaining $28.9 million came
from the slot machines.
The state collected $12.5 million
in taxes from Encore last
month.
April’s total elevated the casino’s
yearly revenue to $173.9
million. In addition, Encore
has brought in $819.8 million
since its grand opening in
June 2019.
Although impressive, April’s
revenue represents an increase
of just $500,000 over
last month. In contrast, the

No fi nancial data was available
from April 2020 as the casino

COVID-19 pandemic.
So far this year, the casino
is averaging a $43.4 million
per month. Last year’s monthly
revenue averaged $27.6
million; however, because of
the pandemic the casino was
closed from March 15 to July
12.
Compared to the other two
casinos in the state, Encore

M

announced that Everett
High School officially has
new home tennis courts. While
the city has tennis courts at the
American Legion Memorial and
at Clark, Edgewater, Forest, Garfield,
Howarth and Lowell Parks,
the high school lacked its own
home tennis courts. The Everett

the whole district as being overcrowded,”
she said.
Mayor Carlo DeMaria said the
property formerly owned by
General Electric is being considered
as the site for the new
school. DeMaria said he would
also like to relocate Everett Stadium
to the same area and
construct a facility for the high
school crew team. “I fully supJarick

am ecstatic about this project
being complete,” said DeMaria.
“The tennis team truly deserved
port going forward with the
Statement of Interest,” he said.
At this time, there is no indication
as to what the cost might be
of building a new high school.
“It’s my belief that a new EHS
would allow us to address overcrowding
in every single school
building,” School Committee
Chairman Frank Parker said following
the meeting. “This would
allow us to add more trade offerings
to our existing Career Technical
Education program.”
Safe Routes to School
In other news, Judy Crocker,
outreach coordinator for the
Massachusetts Department
of Transportation (MassDOT),
spoke about advancing the Safe
Routes to School program in Everett.
Six of the city’s 10 schools
have participated in the program
since 2009. Crocker said that as of
2018 a half-mile was the average
distance between the Whittier

who attended that school.
She said at that time 80 percent
of Whittier students lived within
one mile of the school. Crocker
also said the program offers a
pedestrian safety curriculum for
second and third grade students
as well as a bike safety curriculum
for second, fourth and eighth
grade students.
The program is currently used
by 65 percent of school districts
throughout the state. Last year
alone, the MassDOT Shared
Streets and Spaces Grant provided
funding for 232 projects.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 21, 2021
Erik Costin will always have Everett at heart
E
rik Costin grew up in Everett
in the 80s and 90s and
attended Everett Schools. He
graduated from Everett High
School in 1998 and was a remarkable
basketball player
for Everett High School. He received
numerous awards for
his performance on the basketball
team including two
scholarships from the E Club
and left a legacy.
“The City of Everett will always
hold a special place in
my heart,” said Costin. “I enjoyed
my time in the neighborhoods,
playing basketball,
and at Glendale Park. I may not
have been the best student,
but I am grateful for all those
who mentored me. I learned
how to work hard to achieve
my goals.”
After graduating Everett
High School, Costin went on to
attend Lasell University where
he majored in legal studies.
He also continued his basketball
career at Lasell and scored
1000 points during his time
there. While in college, Costin
was an intern at the Everett
Police Department and he
thoroughly enjoyed this experience.
Not only did he learn
more about the city he loved,
but he saw Everett from a different
point of view.
Upon graduating from Lasell
University, Costin moved to
Florida where he owns several
companies that include a
construction company, a real
estate company, and a luxury
home and building company.
Over the years, Costin has
never forgotten his roots. He
has been exceptionally generous
with donations to the
Everett High School Athletics
and started a scholarship under
his name in the E Club. He
has also helped children from
Everett who needed assistance
attend sports camps.
“I am proud to give back and
support a community that
supported me,” said Costin. “I
am fortunate that I am able
to make donations and I credDPW
Director Jerry Navarra and Erik Costin.

it the City of Everett for teaching
me how to be successful. I
couldn’t think of a better way
to say thank you from afar than
with financially helping those
who need the support.”
Additionally, Costin carries
the City of Everett with him
each day when he goes to
work. He named his office
building “Glendale Park” after
Glendale Park here in Everett
and also has a mural of the “Old
Glendale Park” in the lobby of
this building.
“Growing up, I spent time
with my friends at Glendale
Park,” said Costin. “Glendale
Park and Everett hold a special
place in my heart. I am grateful
for the experiences he had
in Everett because it helped
shape me to be the person I
am today.”
On April 5, Mayor Carlo DeMaria
proudly recognized Costin
for his Everett pride and
generosity to the City of Everett.
DPW Director Jerry Navarra
presented him with a plaque
expressing Mayor DeMaria’s
gratitude. The City of Everett
is truly grateful for Costin’s unconditional

Schnitzer donates $40K to
Grace Food Pantry
By Christopher Roberson
R
ecognizing the ongoing
need to assuage food insecurity
in the city, Schnitzer
Steel Industries recently donated
$40,000 to the Grace
Food Pantry.
“We believe in their mission
and what they do every Saturday,”
Schnitzer spokesperson
Colin Kelly said during the donation
event on May 18. “They
just do incredible work.”
He said company employees,
vendors and customers
raised $20,000 between November
2020 and January
of this year. Schnitzer then
matched that amount to bring
the total donation to $40,000.
Irene Cardillo, managing director
of Grace Food Pantry,
said this is not this first time
that Schnitzer has stepped
up, adding that the company
donated $10,000 when
the COVID-19 pandemic surfaced
last spring. “They were
our very first sponsor. I’ll never
forget that,” she said.
Cardillo said the donation
will be used to help fund the
pantry’s operating budget as
well as to continue providing
pandemic relief. “Even though
there’s a vaccine, there’s still
that hump we have to get
over,” she said.

City honors Haitian-Americans with fifth annual flag raising
C
By Christopher Roberson
ity and state officials recently
gathered with members
of Everett’s Haitian-American
population to recognize the 217
years that Haiti has been an independent
nation.
“This is more than just a flag
raising,” said State Senator Sal DiDomenico
during the fifth annual
ceremony on May 18. “The Everett
Haitian community is very
important to us.”
He also recognized the resolve
of the city’s Haitian-American
residents, as many of them have
been on the frontlines throughout
the COVID-19 pandemic.
“During the worst pandemic in
our history, the Haitian community
rose to the occasion,” said
DiDomenico. “Giving back is in
their soul, it’s in their core.”
He also spoke about the diversity
represented at Everett High
School. “We have the most diverse
high school in the Commonwealth,”
said DiDomenico.
“Not Somerville, not Cambridge,
not Boston – it’s right here in Everett.”
Superintendent
of Schools Priya
Tahiliani said Haitian-American
students represent the third
highest ethnic population in
the Everett Public Schools. She
also lauded the district for its
long-standing commitment to
diversity. “I am so grateful to be
part of this community,” she said.

State Representative Joseph
McGonagle recalled traveling
to Haiti. “The resiliency and
strength of the Haitian people
is something that I’ll never forget,”
he said.
Mayor Carlo DeMaria spoke
about how General JeanJacques
Dessalines declared
victory over French General Napoleon
Bonaparte, thus ending
the Haitian Revolution in 1804.
“Today, we celebrate their hardearned
freedom,” said DeMaria,
adding that Everett continues to
be a melting pot of international
cultures. “Everett is truly a welcoming
place for all.”
Superintendent of Schools
Priya Tahiliani
DeMaria also said that after
traveling to other countries he
noticed that the United States
Rev. Myrlande DesRosiers
is the only nation with such a
diverse immigrant population.
“The great thing about America
is it’s the only country that
State Senator
Sal DiDomenico
embraces people from all over
the world,” he said. “That’s what
makes American the greatest
country in the world.”
Rev. Myrlande DesRosiers,
director of the Everett Haitian
Community Center, thanked DeMaria
for his ongoing partnership
with the city’s Haitian community.
She also spoke about
the importance of the Haitian
Flag. “It’s the flag – you don’t
touch it – it’s sacred,” she said.
Councillor-at-Large Gerly
Adrien said her parents moved
to the United States from Haiti
41 years ago in pursuit of
the American Dream. “As Haitians,
we can do the impossible;
together we are powerful,”
she said. “We will never be forgotten.”

M
ayor Carlo DeMaria recently
announced that the city

Tuesday, June 1 to celebrate Pride
Month. The ceremony will be held
at 11 a.m. outside of City Hall.

with the LGBTQ+ community

and inclusive community
to all, regardless of race, ethnicity,
gender, or sexual orientation.

for equality among all
members of our community."
Following the flag raising ceremony,

address the needs of our LGBTQ+
youth.

New program from
Cambridge Health Alliance
and Vinfen provides housing
support to patients in need
C
AMBRIDGE – Cambridge
Health Alliance (CHA), an academic
community health system
serving Cambridge, Somerville
and Boston's metro-north
region, has developed an innovative
partnership with health
and human services organization
Vinfen to provide comprehensive
housing support to patients
in need. The program aims
to help certain members of the
Tufts-CHA MassHealth Accountable
Care Organization (ACO)
plan who have chronic medical
or behavioral health conditions
and who are experiencing housing
instability or homelessness.
Each year millions of American
households face “housing insecurity,”
a condition that has been
exacerbated by the COVID-19
pandemic. While there is no single
definition of housing insecurity,
the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services bases
it on several key factors: trouble
paying rent, overcrowding,
moving frequently, staying with
relatives or spending the bulk of
household income on housing.
HealthyPeople.gov notes that
housing instability is a key social
determinant of health and
numerous studies have shown
this condition to be a barrier to
physical health and access to
health care.
The new CHA-Vinfen program
includes housing navigation and
related supports to help people
access and maintain safe housing.
This includes people who are
un-housed as well as those at risk
of losing their housing. Key components
include pre-housing
support, work to prevent evictions
and improving the safety of
current housing through home
modifications.
“CHA strives to meet patients
where they are and support their
needs,” said CHA’s Vice President
for Population Health Management,
Dr. David Elvin. “Over time,
we have developed a greater understanding
of the social factors
that impact health and have expanded
the traditional scope of
healthcare providers. As stable
and safe housing are so vital to
health and wellbeing, we are excited
to implement this new program.
Rather than treat symptoms,
this lets us support health
at its foundations and help our
patients thrive.”
“Vinfen is pleased to partner
with CHA on this important program.
We share the belief that
addressing housing instability
will result in better health for
the people we are serving in this
unique partnership,” said Vinfen
President/CEO Bruce Bird. “We
have seen firsthand the dramatic
impact of homelessness and the
threat of eviction on the physical
and mental health of people
in our communities and are
looking forward to addressing
this crisis.”

Everett High football completes undefeated
season with win over Lynn Classical
New Coach DiLoreto grateful for efforts of his
players and coaches in COVID-19 affected season
By Jason Mazzilli
T
he COVID-19 pandemic could
not keep the Everett High
football team from putting up
another banner season.
The Crimson Tide football team
completed the 2021 "Fall 2" campaign
unbeaten, following a 4212
victory over Lynn Classical Friday
night on the road in Lynn at
Manning Field.
Everett went 3-0 in the
COVID-shortened Greater Boston
League campaign, knocking
EHS Coach Rob DiLoreto
off the three strongest GBL opponents,
Lynn Classical, Revere and
Lynn English in the season opener,
all in convincing fashion.
It was a great start for the career
of first-year head coach Rob
DiLoreto, who was appointed to
the post in January of this year.
Tyrese Baptiste, bound for UMaine
in the fall, hauled in a 9-yard
touchdown pass to open the
scoring for the Crimson Tide,
which led 20-0 at the end of the
first quarter.
Junior Brian Gibbs scored on
a 27-yard run in the first quarter
and Marcus Scott made a huge
defensive play on a "scoop-andscore"
play when he returned a
fumble for a 31-yard touchdown.
Ismael Zamor rushed for a touchdown
38 yards on a Jet Sweep
for a 36-0 lead at the halftime
break. Zamor has been Everett's
top player this season and the
top player in the Greater Boston
League overall this season.
DiLoreto said he was excited
and pleased about the results
both in this game and for the
season. The EHS coach said he
and his staff wished there had
been more time for practice and
games.
He said the seniors were able to
have a season and that the coaches
were able to jumpstart into
next season already, which is just
90 days away in August.
Everett stars Josiah Stewart
(Coastal Carolina) and Tyrese Baptiste
(Maine) will begin their college
football careers in August
and the Tide will welcome back
Junior running back JC Clerveaux.

7th Annual Christie Serino
Baseball Classic set for Saturday
Field includes host Malden HS, Somerville,
Salem Academy and Winthrop
By Jason Mazzilli
C
hristie Serino is one of the
most influential and most
revered coaches and mentors
in the region's history on the
high school and college sports
scene.
He coached hockey at Saugus
High, Malden Catholic,
UNH and Merrimack College,
as well baseball for many of his
five sons' teams as well as at
University of New Hampshire.
On Saturday, for the seventh
time, the late Coach Serino's
legacy will be honored again
with the playing of the 7th Annual
Christie Serino Baseball
Classic, where four teams will
compete for the 2021 Championship.
This
will be the first time
since the 2019 season the Classic
will be held, having been
sidelined along with the entire
rest of the high school season
in 2020.
Malden High School Head
Coach Steve Freker and the
Golden Tornado baseball
squad will host the Doubleheader
action on two adjoining
Malden fields, Maplewood
Park and Rotondi Field, beginning
at 11:00 a.m. with firstround
action.
The Championship Game
is set for 1:30 p.m. at Maplewood
Park featuring the two
first-round winners, with a
Consolation Game on the adjacent
field.
Malden High will play Salem
Academy at 11:00 a.m. at
Maplewood Park in one firstround
matchup, while Somerville
High and Winthrop High
will face off at 11:00 a.m. at
Rotondi Field at Howard Park.
Coach Freker said it has
been an honor to memorialize
Coach Serino all of these
years. "He was a leader and
mentor to hundreds of athletes
and coaches. There is really
no one in this region who
has made such an impact on so
many lives in the high school
and college ranks," said Coach
Freker, who is now in his fifth
year at Malden High, returning
after an 18-year absence.
He was the head baseball
coach at Saugus High from
2014-2016 and head baseball
coach at Malden Catholic from
2000-2012. He coached baseball
at Malden High from 19851999
previously.
While at Malden Catholic,
Freker served under Serino

bury. Following high school, he
went on to play football for Boston
College. Although he only
played in six games, Walker still
valued the experience of competing
on the collegiate level.
“When I was there, I walked
onto the football team, which
was crazy,” he said during a May
13 question and answer session
sponsored by Everett High
School.
After graduating college with a
bachelor’s degree in human development,
Walker was unsure
about his plans for the future. “I
was a young 20-something and
had no idea what life had to offer,”
he said.
However, he found a home
with Boston Scholar Athletes
and remained with the organization
for four years. “From there, I
took a risk,” he said, adding that
he wanted to move to Los Angeles
to pursue an acting career.
Therefore, he started working
at the Nike Store on Newbury
Street in Boston to save enough
money for his move to southern
California. However, something
unexpected began to transpire.
“What ended up happening was
I began climbing the ranks at
Nike,” he said. Eventually, Walker
was transferred out of the retail
division and took a marketing
position at Nike’s Boston office.
Despite his success in Boston,
Walker had not forgotten about
the West Coast. Therefore, he
would periodically travel to Nike
LA to pitch ideas for marketing
campaigns. Three years later, his
efforts paid off when Nike offered
him the opportunity to go
to Los Angeles.
However, life in southern California
was much different than
life in Boston. “It was a night and
day experience,” said Walker.
During his two years with Nike
LA, Walker organized a road race
in Inglewood, California, a community
that was still recovering
from a crack cocaine epidemic
which struck during the 1980s.
“We shut down a freeway to
have a race,” he said.
Although Walker had the
opportunity to take a position
at Nike’s corporate office
in Oregon, he opted to
go work for the NFL, where

S y Senior
How Much Will You Need
Sa e
a
Dear Savvy Senior,
Is there an easy way to fi gure
out how much I will need
to save for retirement? My wife
and I are both in our late fi fties
and want to fi gure out about
how much we’ll need in order
to retire comfortably.
Ready to Retire
Dear Ready,
How much money you
need to retire comfortably
is a great question that all
working adults should ask
themselves. Unfortunately,
far too few ever bother thinking
about it.
But calculating an approximate
number of how much
you’ll need to have saved for
retirement is actually pretty
easy and doesn’t take long
to do. It’s a simple, threestep
process that includes
estimating your future living
expenses, tallying up your retirement
income and calculating
the diff erence.
Estimate Living Expenses
The fi rst step – estimating
your future retirement living
expenses – is the most diffi -
cult. If you want a quick ballpark
estimate, fi gure around
75 to 85 percent of your current
gross income. That’s
what most people fi nd they
need to maintain their current
lifestyle in retirement.
If you want a more precise
estimate, track your current
living expenses on a worksheet
and deduct any costs
you expect to go away or
decline when you retire, and
add whatever new ones you
anticipate.
Costs you can scratch off
your list include work-related
expenses like commuting
or lunches out, as well as the
amount you’re socking away
for retirement. You may also
be able to deduct your mortgage
if you expect to have it
paid off by retirement, and
your kid’s college expenses.
Your income taxes should
also be less.
On the other hand, some
costs will probably go up
when you retire, like health
care, and depending on your
interests you may spend a lot
more on travel, golf or other
hobbies. And, if you’re going
to be retired for 20 or 30
years you also need to factor
in some occasional big
budget items like a new roof,
heating/air conditioning sysBY
JIM MILLER

d
tem or vehicle.
Tally Retirement Income
Step two is to calculate
your retirement income. If
you and/or your wife contribute
to Social Security, go
to SSA.gov/MyAccount to get
your personalized statement
that estimates what your retirement
benefi ts will be at
age 62, full retirement age
and when you turn 70.
In addition to Social Security,
if you or your wife has
a traditional pension plan
from an employer, fi nd out
from the plan administrator
how much you are likely to
get when you retire. And fi gure
in any other income from
other sources you expect to
have, such as rental properties,
part-time work, etc.
Calculate the Diff erence
The fi nal step is to do the
calculations. Subtract your
annual living expenses from
your annual retirement income.
If your income alone
can cover your bills, you’re all
set. If not, you’ll need to tap
your savings, including your
401(k) plans, IRAs, or other
investments to make up the
diff erence.
So, let’s say for example
you need around $60,000 a
year to meet your living and
retirement expenses and pay
taxes, and you and your wife
expect to receive $35,000 a
year from Social Security and
other income. That leaves a
$25,000 shortfall that you’ll
need to pull from your nest
egg each year ($60,000 –
$35,000 = $25,000).
Then, depending on what
age you want to retire, you
need to multiply your shortfall
by at least 25 if you want
to retire at 60, 20 to retire
at 65, and 17 to retire at 70
– or in this case that would
equate to $625,000, $500,000
and $425,000, respectively.
Why 25, 20 and 17? Because
that would allow you
to pull four percent a year
from your savings, which is a
safe withdrawal strategy that
in most cases will let your
money last as long as you do.

he has remained for the past
year and a half.
As the league’s talent and
marketing manager, Walker
said, one of his primary
responsibilities is to attract
younger fans. “It’s definitely
hard; it’s an uphill battle,” he
said. “A lot of people think the
NBA is the biggest league in
the country – the NFL far outpaces
what the NBA is doing.”
He has also worked with a
number of celebrities in this
capacity, including Kevin
Hart, Cole Bennett, Lil Wayne,
Desi Banks and Lil Baby.
Although the NFL has a
much greater corporate culture
than Nike, Walker said,
he has always tested the
boundaries and strived to
find different ways of doing
things. “Every day when I go

mission to change the narrative,”
he said.

“I shared how we need to be

broke down in tears afterward.
I felt that he listened.”

the House or Senate last week.
This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports
local senators’ roll call attendance
records for the 2021 session
through May 14.
The Senate has held 28 roll calls
so far in 2021. Beacon Hill Roll Call
tabulates the number of roll calls
on which each senator votes and
then calculates that number as
a percentage of the total roll call
votes held. That percentage is the
number referred to as the roll call
attendance record.
In the Senate, 39 of the 40 members
did not miss any roll calls and
have 100 percent roll call attendance
records. It is a Senate tradition
that the Senate president only
votes occasionally. Senate President
Karen Spilka follows that tradition
and only voted on 11 of the
28 roll calls while not voting on 17
of them.
Sen. Spilka’s offi ce did not respond
to repeated requests by
Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment
on her voting record.
We specifi cally asked if Spilka
was in the Statehouse building
for all the formal and informal
sessions; how the tradition developed
that the president rarely
votes; has she ever thought of
breaking that tradition and being
recorded on all roll calls; and how
does she choose on which roll calls
she will vote?
The vast majority of the 40 senators
are not in the Senate chamber
during a session because of
the COVD-19 pandemic. Most are
watching and listening to the session
from their home, business or
Statehouse offi ce and voting remotely.
Senators’ votes are communicated
to Senate officials
during the session or prior to the
session if senators are informed
in advance that there will be a roll
call vote.
If a member wants to speak
on an issue under consideration,
they do so on a separate “debate
phone line” and their voice is then
heard in the Senate chamber and
by anyone watching the broadcast
online.

RECORDS THROUGH
MAY 14
The percentage listed next to
the senator’s name is the percentage
of roll call votes on which the
senator voted. The number in parentheses
represents the number
of roll calls that he or she missed.

HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S
SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call
tracks the length of time that the
House and Senate were in session
each week. Many legislators say
that legislative sessions are only
one aspect of the Legislature’s job
and that a lot of important work
is done outside of the House and
Senate chambers. They note that
their jobs also involve committee
work, research, constituent
work and other matters that are
important to their districts. Critics
say that the Legislature does not
meet regularly or long enough to
debate and vote in public view on
the thousands of pieces of legislation
that have been fi led. They
note that the infrequency and
brief length of sessions are misguided
and lead to irresponsible
late-night sessions and a mad rush
to act on dozens of bills in the days
immediately preceding the end of
an annual session.
During the week of May 10-14,
the House met for a total of two
hours and 48 minutes while the
Senate met for a total of two hours
and 46 minutes.
Mon. May 10 House 11:03
a.m. to 11:16 a.m.
Senate 11:14 a.m. to 11:40

Winslow said that in 2005,
“after a decade of study and
negotiations,” Everett was the
fi rst community to sign a lease
with the MBTA, which allowed
construction of the trail to begin.
Malden, Saugus and Revere
joined the effort soon
thereafter. Between 2010 and
2015, Winslow said, offi cials in
Everett, Malden, Saugus and
Revere worked to clear the
railbed and convert it into a
bike trail.
He said that earlier this year
a bridge was installed over the
Saugus River, and the section
of the trail under Route 1 in Revere
was paved. In addition,
he said construction is underway
in Everett to connect the
trail to the Mystic River. The last leg of the project will be
to bring the trail to an end at
Lynn Shore and Nahant Beach
Reservation.
Winslow said that over the
The Northern Strand Community Trail begins in Everett and

taking it to Lynn Shore and Nahant Beach Reservation.

Winslow said a counter was installed
in Malden and recorded
50,000 pedestrians and bicyclists
in July 2020.
In addition, Winslow said resyears

“An additional $8 million investment
will be necessary to
connect the trail along Lynn
Common, Market Street and
Lynn Shore Drive to the beach,”
said Winslow.
Speaking about the number
of residents who use the trail,
idents can use the trail to access
the Mystic River Trail in Everett.
“The Northern Strand has
been designated to be part of
the East Coast Greenway/Bike
Route 1 which extends off and
on-road from Maine to Key
West, Florida,” he said.
Looking ahead, Jonah Chiarenza,
executive director of
Bike to the Sea, said he would
like to have ongoing trail runs
and clean ups to “develop synergies
for economic investment
and improved access to
recreation.”
