The Cummings grant will help CHA implement additional training opportunities through its Community Health Youth Initiatives program. CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA), a community health system serving Cambridge, Somerville and Boston’s metro-north communities, is one of 140 local nonprofits to receive grants of $100,000 to $500,000 each through Cummings Foundation's $25 Million Grant Program. The Cambridge-based organization was chosen from a total of 580 applicants during a competitive review process and will receive $500,000 over 10 years. The grant will create employment opportunities and career pathways for diverse youth and young adults by developing a workforce development curriculum that includes internships and mentoring by health professionals. Under the leadership of the Community Health Youth Initiatives program, the funding will increase CHA’s capacity to develop a targeted curriculum, improve hiring and onboarding processes to be more accessible for this population, and signifi cantly impact communities where immigrants, fi rst-generation youth, and young adults need a structured program that truly leads to increased employment opportunities. “The need now is to build on our successful community and afterschool youth programming, and expand career pipeline opportunities for young people growing up in communities such as Everett, Chelsea, Revere and Malden to address the difficulties many of these young people face in finding gainful, career-oriented employment,” said Susie Posner-Jones, CHA's chief development offi cer. “This training project will help close gaps in equitable access to the fi eld of healthcare and result in helping to create an even more diverse CHA workforce that is representative of our communities and able to offer more culturally and linguistically supportive care for our populations,” said Jaime Lederer, CHA's director of community health youth initiatives. The Cummings $25 Million Grant Program supports Massachusetts nonprofi ts that are based in and primarily serve Middlesex, Essex, and Suffolk counties. Through this placebased initiative, Cummings Foundation aims to give back in the areas where it owns commercial property. Its buildings are all managed, at no cost to the Foundation, by its affi liate, Cummings Properties. This Woburn-based commercial real estate fi rm leases and manages 11 million square feet of debt-free space, the majority of which exclusively benefi ts the Foundation. "We are so fortunate in greater Boston to have such eff ective nonprofi ts, plus a wealth of talented, dedicated professionals and volunteers to run them," said Cummings Foundation executive director Joyce Vyriotes. "We are indebted to them for the work they do each day to provide for basic needs, break down barriers to education and health resources, and work toward a more equitable society."

On Monday night, the City Council approved an act proposed by Mayor Brian Arrigo to establish a new election system for the School Committee. The act now goes to the state legislature for approval. Under the new system, there will be six ward committee members and two at-large members, as well as the mayor. Currently, the committee has six at-large members, plus the mayor. Arrigo proposed the change to increase representation within the wards, as well as to avoid a possible lawsuit from an organization that has challenged other at-large school committees in the state. “You as councillors represent your wards; it’s just being asked that the School Committee have the same representation,” said City Solicitor Paul Capizzi at a Legislative Aff airs Subcommittee meeting prior to Monday’s full City Council meeting. Capizzi said the change would allow for greater representation from the neighborhoods and for individual schools within the wards. “I can’t see any reason not to do it, actually, and if we don’t, we’re going to get sued, so that’s the other reason, too,” said Capizzi. Ward 4 Councillor Patrick Keefe said he supported the measure, even though he said he is usually hesitant to vote for something due to potential legal action. Keefe also said he is concerned about current committee members potentially losing their seats under the new format. “I do kind of feel bad that there are current School Committee members that we feel very strongly about, and all of them represent the city very well,” who could lose their seats, Keefe said. “Unfortunately, this may have an impact on sitting members, but this also increases the number of School Committee members from six to eight, plus the mayor, which makes nine, which GRANT | FROM Page 2 With the help of about 90 volunteers, the Foundation first identified 140 organizations to receive grants of at least $100,000 each.

Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky, who voted against the act along with Councillor-at-Large George Rotondo, said he supported ward representation. “But I’m not happy with increasing the School Committee,” said Novoselsky. He said the city might want to look at an alternate method for electing the committee, such as ward races where everyone across the city can vote for each ward committee member. Novoselsky said that would help counter potential low turnout in some of the wards. School Committee Member John Kingston said he did not have an issue with the move toward seats on the committee, but he did express some concerns about adding two new members. “I think it is sometimes hard enough to get a coalition when it is 4-3,” he said. “We have seven members and we are adding two more; that’s my only concern. I understand the mayor’s point about trying to have two at-large [seats], and I’m not saying it is bad if it’s approved, but my concern, just from being new, is that having to add two new members creates a lot more issues and a lot more complexity.” Councillor-at-Large Steven Morabito said he supported the proposal as presented by Arrigo. “Our city is not getting any smaller; it’s getting larger, so I think we need representation at large, as well,” said Morabito. as well as nonprofi ts that had previously received Cummings Foundation grants.

Today I am proud to announce my candidacy for reelection in the Special Election for the now-open Ward 5 Council seat. I am grateful beyond words for the trust that the citizens of Ward 5 has placed in me; and I humbly ask for your support again, so that I may continue to serve you and your families and we may together continue the progress we have begun in the great city of Revere. For those of you who may not know me, please allow me to tell you a bit about myself, about some of the achievements of which I am post proud, and about some of what I still hope to accomplish in the future. I am a lifelong Revere resident, a homeowner and a taxpayer. Among my many City Council roles, I have been elected by my colleagues to three terms as City Council President. I have also been appointed to four terms as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, which is responsible for reviewing and approving the annual city budget, and as Chairman of the Public Safety Committee, which provides oversight of the Police and Fire Departments. I especially pride myself for serving as a full-time City Councilor—that is my only job. I truly enjoy spending every day working on important city issues and providing constituent services. If you see fi t to re-elect me in this Special Election, I pledge to remain accessible to all Revere citizens, easily reachable, and unfailingly responsive to anyone who needs my assistance, who has a question or concern, or who just wants his or her voice heard. Among my City Council accomplishments in the recent past: A New Point of Pines Fire Station: This is an issue on which I had long been a vocal and persistent advocate. By 2019, we had secured a commitment from the Mayor and City Council to build a new fi re station on the Lynnway to better serve the Point of Pines, Riverside, Oak Island and Lower Revere Street neighborhoods as well as the city as a whole. Since then, we have approved bond funding for a new state-of-the-art facility, which is now in fi nal design; demolition of the long-vacant Alden Mills Fire Station has been completed; and once we receive our fi nal state permits, construction will begin later this year. A New Vision for the Revere RiverFront District: We successfully fought two proposed residential projects for the vacant JOHN POWERS Ward 5 Candidate Riverside Boat Works property on Thayer Avenue that were opposed by the Riverside community; and we then passed new zoning that precluded of any dense multi-family redevelopment of that property. Since, then, we have completed a community-based Master Plan for the River Front District as a whole that envisions the conversion of the Riverside Boat Works property to a community rowing/educational center, that would be an integral new element of an expanded and more resilient Gibson Park; a new residential redevelopment along an attractive and accessible waterfront; and a reconfi gured transportation network that will directly link the district to Revere as a whole—eliminating the current need to use Mills Avenue to get to and from Gibson Park. Improved Neighborhood Infrastructure: With the full support of the Mayor and his DPW staff , we have continued to repave streets and replace sidewalks throughout Ward 5; and less visibly but at least equally importantly, we have continued to upgrade our water, sewer, drainage and pumping facilities throughout the district. At long last, with my proactive support, we have fully excavated and restored the Eastern County Ditch, which is vital to fl ood control in Ward 5 and has already resulted in virtually eliminating area fl ooding in major storm events. Upgraded Neighborhood Playgrounds: With the full support of the Mayor and his Community Development staff , we have continued to improve our recreational facilities in Ward 5 for both our younger and our older residents, with new playgrounds at Gibson and DeStoop Parks and the Paul Revere School, and with the ongoing renovation of Ambrose Park. We are also working with DCR on a senior-oriented renovation of Sullivan Park on Revere Beach Boulevard, which will be linked to the Bay Road neighborhood via the new pedestrian bridge at Sachem Street. New Public Schools: Following-up on our support for construction of the fi ve new public schools including the Paul Revere Elementary School and the Rumney Marsh Middle School, both of which serve children in Ward 5, we are working with the Mayor and the School Superintendent on planning for a new Revere High School at Wonderland. This badly needed facility has received essential initial approval from the Massachusetts School Building Authority, which will underwrite a major portion of its cost; and we are currently in the fi nal stages of feasibility planning. Municipal bonding will be supported by the property tax proceeds from new development at Suffolk Downs and elsewhere in Revere. Transportation Projects: We have continued to work in concert with the Mayor and his Community Development staff and with DOT, DCR and MBTA to improve transportation facilities and services on North Shore Road, Revere Beach Boulevard and American Legion Highway in Ward 5 to address the persistent problem of regional commuting through Revere to/from Boston. This multi-jurisdictional process is always slower than we all want it to be; but recently there have been encouraging progress on three important regional rail initiatives for which I have been a primary advocate: Congresswoman Katherine Clark has recently approved $4M for planning of a new regional rail station at Wonderland, linked to the Blue Line; the current Transportation Bond Bill includes $25M for the construction of such a regional rail station, for which I testifi ed along with Governor Baker and Mayor Arrigo; and DOT has recently designated the regional rail line through Revere as the Environmental Justice Corridor, with a priority for its electrifi cation to allow for “transit frequency and transit fares” on our regional rail. In addition, of particular interest to Ward 5, I was instrumental in supporting the commencement of design work on the proposed new round-about for the RiverFront District, in successfully opposing DCR traffi c meters on the residential side of Revere Beach Boulevard, and in renovating the newly landscaped traffi c island at Butler Circle.

When it originally came before the ZBA in October of 2020, the developer requested 42 units, but city offi cials asked that the project be scaled back. D’Ambrosio said Ward 6 Councillor Richard Serino and the Mayor’s Offi ce were in favor of the scaled back project. Denise King, who lives nearby at 770 Washington Ave., said she is opposed to the project. “The reason I am opposed to this is, because from what I understand, it is 30 residential units and it’s going to be a zero-foot variance in the front and on the side and back of the building,” said King. “Also, I don’t believe there is enough parking for this particular building. We live at 770 Washington Ave., and my fear is that the overfl ow of parking from this building will fl ow into 770 Washington Ave.” Currently, King said, the area of Washington Avenue is congested and the traffic backs up. “I think this building is going to make traffi c even worse,” she said. The ZBA voted unanimously to approve the variances that were originally approved in November of 2020. In addition to the variances for the setbacks, the development requested a parking variance, with 36 spaces proposed for the 20-unit building.

The board recently implemented a new penalty and fi ne structure for businesses that violate the city’s tobacco policies, handing out a $1,000 fi ne and a three-day suspension for a fi rst off ense. But the attorney for ABC CiNeed a hall for your special event? The Schiavo Club, located at 71 Tileston Street, Everett is available for your Birthdays, Anniversaries, Sweet 16 parties and more? Call Paul at (617) 387-5457 for details. gar argued that the three-day suspension for a fi rst off ense is not clear in the state statutes. He initially argued that while his client was willing to pay the $1,000 fine, the suspension was unwarranted and unduly aff ected ABC since it is a store that relies almost solely on tobacco sales. “You do have a responsibility to enforce the law, and this provision is serious, and the matter is serious, and we are not taking it lightly,” said Attorney Jarrod Hochman. However, he stated that the state statutes do not specify any license suspensions for a fi rst off ense. “In addition to that, I think there is an equal protection argument that my client makes,” said Hochman. “My client is a tobacconist; that is their sole item for sale. It’s not a convenience store; it’s not a liquor store that sells cigarettes and has other items to sell.” Hochman noted that ABC has been in business for nearly 50 years and is owned by a 90-yearold man. “We will write the check to whoever it needs to be written to and move on, but you are actually closing this business for three days for a fi rst off ense in 49 years, when the [state law] does not require that, so I want you to follow the law.” DJ Wilson, a public health liaison with the Massachusetts Municipal Association, stated that there is a section in the state statute which gives municipalities the ability to suspend a license for a fi rst off ense. “I understand that this [is a] fi rst off ense that has a $1,000 fi ne and … a three-day suspension is obviously a lot,” said Dr. Drew Bunker, chair of the Board of Health. “But we do have to understand the gravity of what did happen, which was a tobacco product was given to a minor, and as a physician … when you introduce tobacco in a kid that young, it can be very detrimental in many ways and can lead to long-term addiction and things of that nature.” Hochman asked if the threeday suspension was voted in as a consecutive three days, and Public Health Director Lauren Buck said it was not. Bunker said the board should look to revise the city’s ordinance to make the days consecutive, but the board did vote to allow ABC to serve its suspension on nonconsecutive days over a 60-day period. ~ GUEST COMMENTARY ~ Juneteenth Freedom Day Plus 1776 Equals Our America By Sal Giarratani A REVERE SUMMER FEEDING PROGRAM FREE MEALS June 27th through August 12th (there will be no service on July 4th and 5th for the holiday). · Beachmont School, rear entrance (breakfast 8am-9am; lunch 11am-1pm) · Revere Beach Pavilion #2 (lunch 11am-1pm) · Sonny Meyers Park on Beach Street, (lunch 11am -1pm) · Paul Revere School, rear entrance, (MONDAY thru THURSDAY, breakfast 8am-9am; lunch 11am-1pm) · Hill School, rear entrance, stadium side (MONDAY thru THURSDAY, breakfast 8am-9am; lunch 11am-1pm) · RHA Rose Recreational Center on Rose Street (lunch 11:30am-1pm) · RHA Adams Court Recreational on Adams Street (lunch 11:30am-1pm) · Ciarlone Park on Newhall Street (lunch 11:30am-1pm) · Louis Pasteur Park on Endicott Street (lunch 11:30am-1pm) · Revere Farmer’s Market on Broadway at American Legion Hall (FRIDAYS only, lunch 121:00pm) · Programs will serve meals Monday thru Friday except where noted. * locations may be subject to close due to inclement weather and/or participation. “This institution is an equal opportunity provider”. s I read the coverage of Revere’s fi rst Juneteenth Freedom Day celebration in the Revere Advocate, I just wanted to say that I attended it with a sense of pride and a positive step for America. Our nation has faced bumps along the way. We continue to learn who we were and who we have become as we continue to grow into an even better nation. There is far too much division and rancor today as some among us seek confrontation. Rage gets pushed, stoking the fl ames of anger. Today, I see far too many wingnuts out there attempting to push us to opposite corners like in a boxing ring. The news media has become despicable as have hateful politicians who seem to enjoy tearing our nation apart at its seams. For me, Juneteenth Freedom For updated info please go to https://www.facebook.com/RPSDini ngServices or https://twitter.com/rpsdining Day is an important date for all of us to remember with pride because it is a date in history that brought the words on the Declaration of Independence to life. Our founders said all men were created equal in 1776 under the law but slaves weren’t freed until 1863 and it wasn’t until 1865 that the news of that Emancipation finally reached the ears of slaves in that outpost called Texas. Also, it has not been forgotten by me that my immigrant grandmothers couldn’t vote until 1920. America started as an ideal but it took long struggles and a civil war to make words on paper a reality. I believe as America prepares for its 247th birthday coming up on July 4, we need to be honest with each other about our past but we should never feel ashamed of who we are – constantly trying to be a more perfect union for all. We are a lot closer today than we were in 1776. Celebrate who we are on July 4 and I will always be thankful for my immigrant grandparents who left behind everything to come to this place called America. Two came from Sicily and the other two from Ireland. They never met each other but they came here with the same dreams for themselves, their children and grandchildren, etc. I am an American and proud of my heritage and I still believe too many don’t understand how lucky they are. God Bless the USA. ׉ 7cassandra://SMOEzdwrnXm_dUd8_ECUbD-t285op3xWgoCNObz3cJk+|`̰bGZ!}R׉ETHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 1, 2022 Page 9 Revere Knights of Columbus Council 16550 hosts annual Scholarship Dinner and presentation for local Parish students T here are three Catholic churches in Revere: St. Anthony of Padua, the Immaculate Conception Church, and St. Mary of the Assumption.

Link Logistics and Saracen Properties recently purchased the property from Global Partners LP, and they will replace the tank farm with a new techenabled warehouse. Global will continue to operate from a portion of the property. Plans currently call for removing the majority of the 29 tanks on the site. Approximately two-thirds of the tanks (19) will be removed at the start of site work, with the remaining 10 to be leased back to Global. The majority of the tanks will be removed by the time the warehouse facility opens. Saracen Properties President Ted Saraceno said the partnership is excited to upgrade the high-profi le property at the border of Revere and East Boston. “We are excited to have the opportunity to clean up the site and deliver what we believe to be the highest and best use for the property. Replacing the tank farm with a world-class logistics facility will provide hundreds of jobs to area residents and provide a meaningful increase in tax revenue for the City of Revere and its residents.” Saraceno said. “The project is a ‘matter of right’ project,” according to prominent local Attorney Gerry D’Ambrosio, counsel for the project. Link and Saracen have not selected a potential tenant yet, so details on the number of jobs to be created and specifi c products to be housed on-site have yet to be determined; however, the facility is expected to create several hundred permanent and temporary jobs. The development team is starting the permitting process in the coming months. Assuming all approvals are achieved, the facility is projected to be fully completed and operational by early 2027. Link Logistics’ Vice President of Development, Daniel Connaughton, said executing on complex environmental remediation and delivering industryleading sustainable projects are characteristic of his company’s commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). Link requires all of its new construction projects to be compliant with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards for further energy effi ciency and carbon emissions reduction. Link recently received the 2022 Energy Star Partner of the Year award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, the first company in the industrial real estate sector to receive such recognition. Commenting on the transaction, Connaughton stated, “Link is focused on being a positive force for economic growth by helping businesses of all sizes fi nd the space they need to grow through investing in jobcreating facilities that spur local economies. Trident Logistics Center will be a modern, technology-enabled warehouse and distribution facility with a focus on responsible development, environmental resiliency and sustainability. This state-of-theart logistics facility will provide hundreds of jobs to area residents as well as a signifi cant increase in tax revenue for the City of Revere.” The Global property on the west side of Route 1A is part of the purchase, including the docking facility, but there are no immediate plans for redevelopment, as this western portion of the property, where they will continue to operate for the foreseeable future, is being leased back to Global. In addition to the removal of the tanks, construction will include other signifi cant environmental improvements, including removal or encapsulation of contaminated soil, upgraded stormwater management systems, and new infrastructure to safeguard against climate change and rising sea levels. Link and Saracen are working closely with the City of Revere and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and communicating with neighboring properties to measure and mitigage the project’s impact on traffi c and improve the Route 1A streetscape. The project will be reviewed by Revere’s Site Plan Review Committee, the Revere Conservation Commission and the Revere Fire Department as well as the Environmental Protection Agency, MassDOT and the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) unit. y H f Jul app ׉ 7cassandra://8kC6SKHyU0JIQJgTylqPyWhmSJnqiqQr6fXGrikWCe0+`̰bGZ!}UbGZ!}T PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://mkNPObjAY1VS0iplkwLPEzWLhQEN64v121QGD3Uws2o2`)׉ 7cassandra://E9cugbI5m01kMwgFoKl0MdvUsJzZaB1GuMf7Rk_cmPc͒`J׉ 7cassandra://kNydRENhnjpcZQS8eE_M1mkeXTRQLsFYL7b3qntDHvE.]`̰׉ 7cassandra://zr76PL7Cq_3Ryj4klf7Yz586nW2GFihaX-z9X_XHaGYfb͠bGZ!}ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://abr9I_6J5LLErE_R1ls-1OAmBrKRXWVbGeyxJzvazN0.C`)׉ 7cassandra://2mpNawkVVQ0DIJjNlKLVWA-OQcRGCo_2RaXMV8EC0DE͑`J׉ 7cassandra://JusM-_K44selrBViKY28avQ0T1nYYIO8OgSP22OQPB8/`̰׉ 7cassandra://-MaADPVVn-7RZueL3mHbM1xK3pVrooW1WyaQxoPvWVgb͠bGZ!}׉EkPage 12 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 1, 2022 The Annual Outdoor Lady of Lourdes Mass Celebrated by Pastor of the Immaculate Conception Church Father Wellington L ast Sunday morning, the Our Lady of Lourdes Park in Beachmont was fi lled with residents from around the Revere and other local areas to attend the annual outdoor mass.

It was the most points scored by one side in the history of the event and the largest margin of victory. The win was also the fifth straight for the North team.

The fi re broke out on an outside deck on the 11th fl oor, and two residents were rescued by fi refi ghters from a unit on that fl oor. In a demand letter sent to The Carabetta Companies in Meriden, Conn., Arrigo encouraged someone from their offi ce to provide support for the residents displaced by the fi re. “Although we have been unsuccessful since Tuesday (June 21) to address these issues together, it is my wish that we work together to ensure that the tenants who are now homeless because of the fire find suitable and temporary shelter until such time that it will be safe for them to return to their residences at your property,” stated Arrigo. The mayor stated that if Carabetta does not respond immediately, it will give him no choice but to use city resources to conduct a thorough investigation of all Carabetta properties in Revere to ensure compliance with all fire, building, sanitary and health and safety codes. Arrigo stated the city would also take steps to ensure that all uses are in compliance with the city’s zoning ordinances and confi rm that all taxes and fees are paid to date. “Please note that if the city is forced to provide shelter for your unfortunate tenants, the City will fi le a lawsuit in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover from you all costs incurred by the City, including legal costs, for providing shelter and assistance for your tenants,” stated Arrigo. In addition, Arrigo stated that none of the tenants of the apartment complex have been contacted by the company to help guide them through the insurance process. “Your inaction to date is highly irresponsible, unprofessional, and quite frankly, immoral,” stated Arrigo. “I prefer to avoid litigation, but as Mayor of the City of Revere I have a moral obligation to assist my constituents in a time of crisis in whatever way I can help.” In an even bolder move at Monday night’s City Council meeting, Councillor-at-Large George Rotondo fi led a late motion asking the mayor to investigate the feasibility of taking the Carabetta properties by eminent domain for the purpose of converting them to aff ordable housing. “This is a great motion, believe it or not,” said Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky. “Carabetta Properties are the worst landlords in the city of Revere. They are totally irresponsible; they just had a fi re at 370 Ocean Ave., and they Planning Board does not support change to laboratory biosafety levels Chairman: Agreement means less residential, more industrial By Adam Swift C ompared to the uproar at Monday night’s City Council public hearing on a proposed ordinance to reduce biosafety levels for life sciences and medical buildings in the city, Wednesday night’s Planning Board hearing on the same issue seemed to escape notice. On Monday night, City Council President Gerry Visconti cleared the City Council Chambers after some members of the audience became unruly on the hearing on the ordinance he proposed along with Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna. With HYM proposing a large life sciences complex at the Suffolk Downs development, Visconti and McKenna are looking to drop the maximum biosafety level allowed for labs in the city from the current level three to a more restrictive level two. The Planning Board on Wednesday voted not to recommend a change in the current ordinance. No one spoke in favor or in opposition to the proposed amendment at the Planning Board’s public hearing. The proposed ordinance must still go before the City Council’s Zoning Subcommittee before the full council takes the deciding vote on the subject. BIOSAFETY | SEE Page 17 have not done a thing to help the people – zero – and they should be ashamed of themselves.” Councillor-at-Large Marc Silvestri agreed that the properties are not kept up at all. “When the city asks them to step up and take care of issues, they completely refuse,” he said. “They don’t put their elevators into standard and they are willing to pay fi ne after fi ne instead of keeping their properties to the standard that their residents deserve.” Rotondo said any other property in the city that has had so many faults – from the fi re to the elevators to other compliance issues – would have been shut down. “Everybody I speak to regarding those properties say not nice things about the landlords,” said City Council President Gerry Visconti. “That’s disheartening: to hear that they have [been] in a fi re and nothing is being done by the landlord.” AUTOTECH $$ CASH FOR YOUR CAR, TRUCK OR SUV! $$ Does not have to be running!

During Monday night’s hearing on the proposed amendment, the council heard from Sam Lipson, a public health official in Cambridge, about steps that city has taken to regulate medical and research laboratories. Visconti then opened up the meeting to public comments, where a number of people spoke about their concerns about potential animal testing at Suff olk Downs or voiced their outright opposition to any life sciences building in Revere. As has been the case during potentially controversial hearings over the past months, several police offi cers were on duty in the City Council Chambers. “I put out a poll on Facebook, probably to about 25 pages, and the poll is 363 no votes to nine yes votes [for a life sciences lab],” said Revere resident Wayne Rose. “So where do you guys get off saying the public wants this? The public [doesn’t] want this.” While there were a number of passionate speakers against the lab, the real uproar didn’t begin until the public speaking portion of the meeting ended and the councillors had their chance to weigh in. As Councillor-at-Large George Rotondo was asking Lipson questions about how lab safety compares to other medical building safety measures, one woman in the audience began shouting, stating that the council was “gaslighting” the city. As Visconti tried to gavel the meeting back into order, the woman continued to speak over the council, and Visconti asked that the woman be removed from the City Council Chambers. The meeting then degenerated to a showdown as the woman and several others began shouting that she had a Constitutional right to speak and remain in the chambers, while City Solicitor Paul Capizzi approached her to explain the Open Meeting Law. “What a setup, Gerry, what a set up,” Rose shouted at Visconti from the front row. As has also been the case in past months when meetings have become heated, Visconti called for a fi ve-minute recess, but tensions still remained high during the recess. As more Revere police offi - cers arrived at City Hall, Visconti asked to clear the City Council Chambers, and the audience eventually fi led out into the hallways and stairwells for a nearly 30-minute recess. During the recess, several people jammed in front of the door to the chambers and confronted police about when they would be let back in. In the stairwell, a small handful of sign-toting protesters began a short “hell no, we won’t go” chant. Behind the scenes, at least one city councillor lobbied Visconti to end the meeting altogether. Eventually, a semblance of order was restored, and people were let back into the City Council Chambers. At this point, nine police offi cers, including two State Troopers, lined the wall of the chambers. Visconti quickly wrapped up the public hearing on the biosafety level reduction, moving it to a future Zoning Subcommittee meeting. As Visconti and the council moved on to other business, most of the people who showed up for the public hearing began to fi lter out of City Hall. Revere Councillor-at-Large Steven Morabito, who is openly gay, organized the event. The first transgender drag queen of color, Luna, performed “Let’s Dance.” Drag Queen Desirae performed. Attendees are pictured recording a performance on their phones.

Even if someone never entered a nursing home that was paid for by MassHealth, recovery can be sought against the estate of a MassHealth recipient living in the community for benefi ts received after reaching the age of 55. There are three hardship waivers that can be applied for by completing the appropriate MassHealth waiver request form. The waiver form must be submitted to the Estate Recovery Unit no later than 60 days after the MassHealth Notice of Claim is fi led in the Probate Court. They are as follows: 1. Residence and Financial Hardship Waiver 2. Care Provided Waiver 3. Income-based waiver Residence and Financial Hardship Waiver: 1. The heir lived in the property on a continuous basis for at least 2 years prior to the member’s admission to an institution or death and continues to live in the property when MassHealth fi les its notice of claim; 2. The heir inherited an interest in the property from the deceased member’s estate; 3. The heir is not being forced to sell the property by other devisees or heirs; and 4. At the time MassHealth fi rst presented its claim, the annual gross income of the heir’s family group was less than or equal to 133% of the applicable federal poverty level income standard. Care provided Hardship Waiver: 1. The heir resided in the home continuously for 2 years prior to the member’s admission to an institution or before the member’s death; 2. During that time, the member needed, and the heir provided, a level of care that avoided the member’s admission to a facility; 3. The heir continues to live in the home at the time the notice of claim is fi led; 4. The heir inherited an interest in the property from the deceased member’s estate; 5. The sale of the property is required to satisfy the claim; 6. The heir is not being forced to sell the property by other devisees or heirs; Income-Based Hardship Waiver: 1. MassHealth will grant either a partial or full waiver of estate recovery based upon the income of the heir who inherited an interest in the member’s estate. 2. The amount of the waiver will be limited to $50,000 if the heir’s family group had a gross income below 400% of the applicable federal poverty level for 2 years prior to the date of the notice of claim being fi led; 3. The amount of the waiver will be 100% if the heir’s family group had a gross income below 133% of the applicable federal poverty level for 2 years prior to the date of the notice of claim being fi led. It is important to be informed of these hardship waivers. It is also imported to avoid probate if at all possible as estate recovery can only be brought against the “probate” estate and not against property held in Trust. Joseph D.

There were no roll calls in the Senate last week. $10.9 BILLION TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE (H 4897) House 155-0, approved and sent to the Senate a nearly $11 billion transportation and infrastructure package that includes $400 million for the MBTA to address safety problems identifi ed by the Federal Transit Administration’s Safety Management Inspection and $250 million for initial steps toward a western Massachusetts rail extension. Other provisions include $2.8 billion for projects on the interstate and non-interstate federal highway system; $82 million for rail improvements; $1 billion for transit system modernization and rail improvements; $114 million for the Airport Improvement Program; and $200 million to create an extensive electric vehicle charging infrastructure, fund programs that promote e-bikes, public transportation and carsharing; replace high-emissions vehicles; and acquire electric school buses. House members fi led more than 300 amendments, many dealing with local projects in legislators’ home districts, but there was little debate and not a single roll call vote on any individual amendment. Instead, members made their cases behind closed doors to the leadership and all the amendments that were given the green light by the leadership ended up in one gigantic consolidated mega amendment with a price tag estimated at $500 million. “Ensuring that the commonwealth’s transportation infrastructure is adequately funded is a top priority for the House, which is why I’m proud of the legislation passed today,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “In addition to signifi cant funding for roadway and bridge projects, this bill also recognizes the importance of providing further support for the MBTA in their ongoing eff ort to address safety concerns and for Your Hometown News Delivered!

Rep. Jessica Giannino Ye s Rep. Jeff Turco Ye s ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL REACTION ON BEACON HILL TO THE U.S. SUPREME COURT RULING STRIKING DOWN ROE V WADE - There was swift reaction across the state to the Supreme Court’s ruling that the constitution does not confer the right to an abortion and that decisions about regulating abortion are now up to each of the 50 states. Gov. Charlie Baker said he was “deeply disappointed” with the decision and he quickly signed an executive order to protect access to reproductive health care services in the commonwealth. “This executive order will further preserve that right and protect reproductive health care providers who serve out of state residents,” said Baker. “In light of the Supreme Court’s ruling overturning Roe v Wade, it is especially important to ensure that Massachusetts providers can continue to provide reproductive health care services without concern that the laws of other states may be used to interfere with those services or sanction them for providing services that are lawful in the commonwealth.” “We are grateful for all those who never stopped fi ghting for the lives of the unborn,” said Andrew Beckwith, the President of the Massachusetts Family Institute. “For decades, we were told this was a ‘settled issue’ in American law and culture, but that was a lie and the tide has turned. The legalization of abortion by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 was one of the most egregious cases of judicial activism this country has ever seen. It resulted in over sixty million dead American children and an unending contentious public debate. “This dangerous and chilling decision will have devastating consequences across the country, forcing people to travel hundreds, sometimes thousands, of miles for care or remain pregnant,” said Dr. Jennifer Childs-Rosha, President of Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts (PPLM). “Abortion is health care, and access to care should not be based on one’s zip code, income level or identity. This is a dark day for our country, but we’ve been preparing for this. In Massachusetts, abortion will remain legal and protected under state law – the Court’s decision does not change this, and PPLM is here for our patients today, and always.” Myrna Maloney Flynn, Massachusetts Citizens for Life’s president, said, “This is a moment that life advocates have worked tirelessly for throughout the past halfcentury. A grave and unjust abuse of judicial power has been corrected. The American people now have a voice, a united voice that, today, raises even louder on behalf of the voiceless. Our work is just beginning, as we aim to bridge the great cultural chasm that Roe v. Wade created. We will not stop working to save the lives of innocent unborn human beings.” “The court’s ruling will have an immediate and devastating impact on people seeking abortion care in nearly half of the country, taking from them a right that has been central to their ability to plan their lives, families and careers,” said Carol Rose, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Massachusetts. “These burdens will disproportionately fall on people of color, those struggling to make ends meet, young people, rural residents, immigrants and LGBTQ+ communities. And make no mistake: anti-abortion politicians won’t stop here. Extremists have made it clear that they will use this ruling to press for a nationwide ban on abortion, as well as bans on birth control, gender-affi rming care, and equal marriage, among other basic civil rights and liberties. The ACLU won’t back down until every person has the freedom and ability to make these most personal and lifechanging decisions for themselves and their families.” BAKER SIGNS ELECTION LAW BILL (S 2924) – Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law the bill making permanent the mail-in and early voting options used in Massachusetts in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. This version of the bill did not include the controversial section allowing same-day voter registration. The measure requires the secretary of state to send out mail-in ballot applications, with return postage guaranteed, to registered voters before each presidential primary, state primary and biennial state election. It also allows registered voters to request a mail-in ballot for all elections in a single calendar year. Other provisions include reducing the registration blackout period from 20 days prior to an election to 10 days; electronic voting options for voters with disabilities and military service members; allowing a voter with disabilities to request accommodations including an accessible electronic ballot application, ballot and voter affi - davit that can be submitted electronically; ensuring that non-felons who are incarcerated who are currently eligible to vote are provided with voting information and materials to exercise their right to vote; and requiring the secretary of state to conduct a comprehensive public awareness campaign to publicize the new voting and registration options. “My offi ce has anticipated this new law and preparations are already well underway for the September 6th state primaries,” said Secretary of State Bill Galvin. “Every voter in Massachusetts can expect to receive a pre-addressed, postage pre-paid Vote by Mail application in just a few weeks. Voters who prefer to vote in person will be able to take advantage of expanded in-person early voting or vote at their polling place on Election Day.” “This landmark election reform bill will empower voters and strengthen our democracy,” said Sen. Barry Finegold (D-Andover), Senate Chair of the Committee on Election Laws and co-sponsor of the measure. “In 2020, mail-in and early voting options helped generate record-breaking turnout. “[The bill] builds upon this progress and will help ensure that every voter can exercise their fundamental right to vote.” “The [bill] will expand voter participation in Massachusetts at a time when other states are seeking to make it more diffi cult to participate in our democracy,” said Senate Majority Leader Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “As the lead Senate sponsor of the [bill], I am very happy that the bill has now been signed into law.” “The most secure way to vote is in person and on Election Day,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Mass Fiscal Alliance. “Handing over your ballot to the United States Postal Service does not guarantee your vote will count. It’s rather disappointing the governor and Democratic lawmakers are pursuing this new law which is less secure.” In the meantime, Massachusetts Republican Party Chairman Jim Lyons fi led a lawsuit aimed at overturning the Legislature’s passage of the part of the new law that codifi es universal no-fault mail-in voting. He said that the Massachusetts Constitution lists only three instances whereby citizens can vote absentee during elections: If they’re out-of-town, physically disabled or have a religious-based confl ict with Election Day. “There’s a reason why we have three branches of government, and we’re confi dent that the Supreme Judicial Court will strike down and expose the Democrats’ unconstitutional permanent expansion of mail-in voting,” Lyons said.

Any tips to help us fi nd someone? Searching Sarah Dear Sarah, Getting your mother some help at home to handle some of her day-to-day chores is a smart idea that can make a big diff erence keeping her independent longer. Here’s are some tips to help you fi nd someone reliable. In-Home Help For seniors who could use some help at home – but don’t need a caregiving aide for personal care – there are homemakers/home helpers you can hire that can help make life a little easier. Most in-home helpers can assist with any number of things like shopping, running errands, transportation, light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, arranging services (home maintenance, lawn care, etc.) and other household chores, along with providing companionship and support. And, if your mom gets to the point she needs personal/physical care like bathing or dressing, many home helpers can assist with this too. Most home helpers are part time workers who work a few hours a day or a few days per week. You also need to know that while Medicare does cover home health care services if a doctor orders it, they do not cover in-home homemaker/helper services. There are two ways in which you can go about hiring someone for your mom; either through a home care agency, or you can hire someone directly on your own. Home Care Agency Hiring a home helper through a non-medical home care, or non-medical companion care agency is the easiest, but most expensive option of the two. Costs typically run anywhere from $15 to $25 an hour depending on where you live. How it works is you pay the company, and they handle everything including assigning appropriately trained and prescreened staff to care for your mother and fi nding a fi ll-in on days her helper cannot come. Some of the drawbacks, however, are that you may not have much input into the selection of the aide, and the helpers may change or alternate, which can cause a disruption. To fi nd a home care agency in your area, use search engines like Google or Yahoo and type in “non-medical home care” followed by the city and state your mom lives in. Or you can use Medicare’s home health services search tool at Medicare.gov/ care-compare – click on “home health services.” Most home health agencies off er some form of non-medical home care services too. You can also check your local yellow pages under “home health services.” Hiring Directly Hiring a personal assistant/ home helper on your own is the other option, and it’s less expensive. Costs typically range between $12 and $20 per hour. Hiring directly also gives you more control over who you hire so you can choose someone who you feel is right for your mom. But be aware that if you do hire someone on your own, you become the employer so there’s no agency support to fall back on if a problem occurs or if the assistant doesn’t show up. You’re also responsible for paying payroll taxes and any worker-related injuries that may happen. If you choose this option, make sure you check the person’s references thoroughly and do a criminal background check. To fi nd someone, ask for referrals through friends or you can search online at sites like Care. com or CareLinx.com.

These commercial redevelopment initiatives will eventually increase the number of job opportunities in and for Revere by threeto-four fold. These are just a few of the many issues and opportunities for which I have fought on behalf of the residents of Ward 5; and they will continue to require informed attention and leadership in the years to come. I believe that my past performance as your Ward 5 City Councillor refl ects the experience and expertise, the vision and understanding, and the dedication and leadership that I will continue to bring to this exceptionally broad range of civic and community responsibilities and that make me ideally positioned to continue to serve you and the city. We can all agree that Revere is at an exciting time in its history; and the direction that we take and the choices that we make in the coming years will determine whether we reach our economic, commercial and civic potential as a community. It is on that basis that I again humbly ask you, the Revere residents of Ward 5, for your vote in the Ward 5 Special Election on Tuesday, July 19th .

The bill would impose the same fi ne but would also add the possibility of a one-year prison sentence. The bill also creates a new crime of leaving the scene of an accident that results in a death and imposes up to a $5,000 fi ne and/or 2.5 years in prison for that new crime. The bill, dubbed the James Ward Act, was fi led in response to the tragic death of a young man in the district of sponsor Rep. Kathy LaNatra (R-Kingston). According to LaNatra’s offi ce, James Ward was riding ATVs with his father and his brother. He collided with another driver, who told James’ father that he would go and get help but he never returned to the scene and went back to the party which he was attending. Sadly, the young man later succumbed to his injuries. “I filed this legislation to prevent ATV riders from fl eeing the scene of an accident and ensure that they are held accountable for their actions,” said sponsor Rep. Kathy LaNatra (R-Kingston). “I want to ensure that what the Ward family went through on that tragic day, doesn’t happen again.” EXTEND TAX BREAKS TO MORE FARMERS (H 3059) – The House approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would expand current law and make more farmers eligible for a favorable valuation of property process that results in a tax break. Under current law, to be eligible for the favorable valuation and the resulting tax break, a farmer must own and be farming a minimum of fi ve contiguous acres of land. The bill would reduce the required number to two and not require the acres to be contiguous. The bill also reduces the required acres to two in cities or towns with a population of more than 50,000. Supporters said that farming practices have been modernized and farmers no longer need vast contiguous acreage to grow crops and manage their livestock. They noted that in Eastern Massachusetts, contiguous land is getting harder to acquire. “Farming is changing and it is growing exceedingly diffi cult for new farmers to fi nd land and for existing farmers to keep the land they have,” said the measure’s sponsor Rep. Paul Schmid (D-Westport). “This bill would extend the benefi ts of a favorable valuation to small plots eff ectively preserving far land in Massachusetts.” QUOTABLE QUOTES – BAY STATE GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION EDITION Sen. Sonia Chang Diaz (D-Boston) dropped out of the race for the Democratic nomination for governor. Her name will still remain on the September Democratic primary ballot as June 10 was the last day a candidates can withdraw their name from the ballot. Her exit leaves Attorney General Maura Healey as the only Democrat actively campaigning for the Democratic nomination. Former Sen. Geoff Diehl and Chris Doughty are vying for the Republican nod. Here are some quotes from Chang-Diaz upon her exit from the campaign: “I know my announcement about this campaign will feel like an ending to many of you, but I don’t see it that way. I got into this race because Beacon Hill has taken too long to address our commonwealth’s biggest challenges due to a lack of courage from our political leaders. We don’t overcome that by winning one election. We overcome it by winning a handful and then dozens and then hundreds of elections.” ---Chang-Diaz. “The reality is this race has always been about more than just me. It’s been about all of us coming together and building a movement for courage and urgency in this state. A good leader calls the question and focuses resources not just on themselves—but on the best way to build our power and win real change for the longterm.” ---Change-Diaz “I am going to be spending my time campaigning and marshaling my supporters and the movement we’ve built for these Courage Democrats down ballot, candidates who walk the walk when it comes to our values. I have no doubt that they will fi ght to put courage over politics in our state, and I am going to be using my energy to help put them into offi ce.” ---Chang-Diaz Here’s what the candidates still in the race said: “I’m deeply grateful to Sen. Sonia Chang-Díaz for her many years of service to Massachusetts and her inspired leadership during this campaign. The legacy of her campaign will live on through the young girls who fi nally saw themselves represented in a candidate for the highest offi ce in the state. I look forward to continuing to partner with Sen. Chang-Díaz to bring people together and make Massachusetts work for all of our families.” ---Maura Healey “I would like to thank State Sen. Sonia Chang-Díaz for her candidacy for governor and I wish her all the best. Her departure from the race makes this now a clear contest between my vision to make Massachusetts a better place to live and work, and the policies of Maura Healey which would drive more families and businesses to leave our state in search of better opportunities elsewhere. I look forward to a spirited campaign that provides contrast between these two diff erent visions over the next several months.” ---Geoff Diehl Chris Doughty did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call for a comment on Chang-Diaz’s withdrawal. 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.
