The vote was 7-4 in favor of the appropriation, but the majority was overruled on procedural grounds. “Appropriations questions need 8 votes to pass,” City Clerk Sergio Cornelio informed the members. “It has failed.” Councillors-at-Large John Hanlon and Katy Rogers and Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Matewsky, Ward 3 Councillor Anthony DiPierro, Ward 4 Councillor Holly Garcia and Ward 6 Councillor Peter Pietrantonio voted in favor while Councillors-at-Large Guerline Alcy Jabouin, Michael Marchese and Stephanie Smith and Council President Robert Van Campen voted against. A vote for reconsideration passed “to keep the item on the City Council agenda,” Van Campen explained. The sticking point is the lack of plans for relocating current occupants in the building, including the Eliot Family Resource Center and a boxing club, among other things, or providing security between the tenants and the school. After about two hours of discussion, the Council approved a proposal by Van Campen to postpone approval until the administration “provides us with a detailed plan for reloRENOVATIONS | SEE PAGE 2 DENT A L 373 Broadway Everett, MA 02149 (617) 898 3384 ranashahidental@gmail.com Dental Restorations Crowns Sealants Fluoride Treatments Bonding GRAND OPENING Gar ima Rana, D.M.D Yen Vo, D.M.D Extractions Invisalign Cleanings Root Canals Emergency Care ׉ 7cassandra://KhwKRXHyZzsuQB3g6rh8ZbF5ooYgXoHNIyl1HKP6K1w-`̰fB+ jWVfB+ jWU PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://1QpC0fZgReuFY3g83WG7AnU8Vbg8u1JRkGxnLZXZmwI8`)׉ 7cassandra://LfXF2ybC-Lhtf7IMSeYGP25R5NP1c7U6dF4ubOabmAMͧ`J׉ 7cassandra://Aj_8LkMBHI_92uZNTHRNcXzgx1Rdmj1gFXC8TqnKRyA-Z`̰fB- jWvט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://DIn0sdF_Sgf_RWDKNVkkRtwPhz-8aH-lWdprpoDFBfEy`)׉ 7cassandra://pPvBbKCvw2tEIicJzvkXUzC99tQPhFxfFmoA3D_QRAg͢`J׉ 7cassandra://Kh6wbTOC1rgaryd4L7_RyQBR_8aLJxYDuJCc6tc2aJs0`̰fB. jWwנfB. jW|V9ׁHhttp://WWW.SABATINO-INS.COMׁ ׁ ЈנfB. jW{G9ׁH$http://FACEBOOK.COM/ADVOCATE.NEWS.MAׁ ׁ ЈנfB. jWzA"9ׁHhttp://www.810bargrille.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EJPage 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 13, 2024 Mayor encourages City Council to vote favorably on funding order to convert former EHS to 7th and 8th A t a regular meeting of the Everett City Council on Monday, Sept. 9, the City Council failed to approve funding that would have converted part of the former Everett High School into a seventh and eighth grade academy to reduce overcrowding after a 7-4 vote in favor of the proposal.

I look forcedures. I’m securing space so people on the other side of the door can’t get in,” but added that relocation of tenants “is not our work, but it’s clear they’ll have to move.

Where they go is not a decision made by me.” $10 million approved by the City Council to fi x the roof will allow the tenants to stay there if it is not converted to an educational purpose. “We have to be concerned about where these operations fl y off ,” Hanlon feels. “What will happen to these operations?

If it can be done in a reasonable way, we believe it would be prudent to keep those functions in another building.” (DeMaria was at the meeting, but did not speak.) While acknowledging “we have a major crisis. We have kids in closets and hallways,” about overcrowding, in discussion Van Campen focused on the pitfalls of mixed use of the old High School. “The residents of Ward 5 have been clear to me,” he said. “They are concerned with repurposing the building for educational purposes and keeping the other uses, which can be disruptive. They want to see uses School, which is located at 548 Broadway, has served the Everett community for over a century.

There are concerns people are using the boxing club with ankle bracelets,” a reference to monitoring devices based on criminal activity. DeMaria asked him if he was referring to things like distributing backpacks to students as disruptive. After Van Campen answered yes, DeMaria said some of those activities could be done elsewhere. Hart tried to head off discussion of Pope John by pointing out that the old High School provided more space than Pope John. “The administration doesn’t have a proposal for Pope John,” Deveney added. “The information we’ve posited is to use the old High School for educational purposes.” “Pope John is not before us,” Van Campen confi rmed. “The plan before us is not perfect, but it’s the only one before us.” RENOVATIONS | SEE PAGE 3 Monogram D4 Double siding Harvey Vinyl 66 Replacement Windows Custom Aluminum Trim work Windows & Doors Top quality Vinyl Siding! •Vinyl Siding •Carpentry Work •Decks •Roofing •Free Estimates •Replacement Windows •Fully Licensed •Fully Insured ׉ 7cassandra://Aj_8LkMBHI_92uZNTHRNcXzgx1Rdmj1gFXC8TqnKRyA-Z`̰fB+ jWW׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 13, 2024 Page 3 Sounds of Everett E VERETT WINS – AGAIN: Everett taxpayers came out on top once again when State Rep.

And let’s not forget their cronies - Pat Sterite - another banned misfi t - or Reading’s own Sandy Juliano - who attends city council and school board meetings to read off Resnek and Puopolo’s boring BS for their sad social media friends.

He had the usual dreams of any young adult, but first he wanted to give back to the Everett Eagles organization that taught him so much about life on and off the gridiron, when he was a player in it for six years. Thirty-four years later, Dimond, who is currently the president of the Everett Crimson Tide Pop Warner Football League, announced this week that he’s stepping away from a lifetime of fond memories at the conclusion of this season. It all started for him as an Eagles player, before returning years later as the Eagles’ E-team coach. He moved up the ranks rather quickly, having also coached the B, C and D-teams – and also helped out on the A-team staff when George Paone and Bobby Hart coached them – before assuming the presidency in 2000. When the Everett Huskies and Eagles merged in 2012 to form one league, he remained in charge. But why is he announcing his resignation now? His answer is as simple as the reason he gave over three decades ago, when he returned to the league in supervisory roles. “We have a lot of good young blood right now in this league with great ideas, and it’s their time,” Dimond said. “I’m not tired of it, but it’s just good to get others involved at this point in the decision-making process.” Dimond is not quite finished as a youth football administrator. He’ll still be the vice president of the Northeastern Massachusetts Pop Warner Conference, the league that Everett plays in during the regular season. Through the years, Dimond says he wouldn’t change a thing. “I don’t regret any second of it,” he said. Tom Abruzzese, the Eagles president prior to Dimond taking over the post, and Peter Mangraviti, the Eagles founder and its first president, are two individuals that Brian has looked up to, and tries to emulate. He specifically said of Mangraviti: “He was a kind-hearted man, who constantly gave back to the city, and I wanted to follow that lead.” At first, the Everett Eagles Longtime Everett Crimson Tide Pop Warner (ECTPW) president Brian Dimond, left, and longtime ECTPW board member George Castiello, right, flank EHS football coach Justin Flores after introducing themselves to the new high school coach last year. (Courtesy photo) were known as the St. Anthony’s Eagles under Mangraviti’s watch, and he continued to preside over the organization through the name change to the city it represents. When the city bragged of having two Pop Warner football leagues – Huskies and Eagles – they each had two teams on the four younger levels, while both had one A-team. A total of 600 players (at least 35 on each team) suited up annually to play youth football in Everett, and that doesn’t count the same number of cheerleaders who graced the sidelines. Believe it or not, it’s almost getting back to that point, and Dimond couldn’t be happier. There are at least 270 combined players and cheerleaders today, the most the program has had in years. Instead of referring to the teams with letters (A-E), they are now labeled by age. Everett has five football teams that includes two U-11 squads. There’s also U-7, U-9 and U-13 clubs. Among the cheerleaders, the organization brags about having seven teams this year, with girls as young as four learning the cheering techniques. Brian remembers the Eagles practicing at Sacramone Park, and when they merged with the Huskies all football practices were held at Glendale Park. As a player, he was a center and middle linebacker. He continued to play football at Malden Catholic, before heading into the plumbing business, where today he’s a night supervisor for Elge Plumbing that has a warehouse on Sunnyside Avenue. The Everett native was born and raised on Winthrop Street, before raising his three daughters – Kloey, 25; Chelsi, 19; and McKenna, 11 on Rosedale Avenue. He has since moved to Peabody with his wife Nicole. Brian’s parents, the late Eddie and Marie, ran the Eagles concession stand at the Stadium. The ECTPW president is the second oldest in his family. Michelle, Danielle and Nicole are his sisters. Dimond opened up to the Everett Advocate earlier this week for a quick Q&A on his many years in local sports after his retirement announcement was made public. While you were coaching, did you have any championRich Dellisola, Joe LaMonica, Joe Baldacchino, Sr. and his wife, Kathleen, Bill Marchant, Jimmy Curtis, Sr. and his wife, Adrienne, Everett Crimson Tide Pop Warner president Brian Dimond and Sal DiDomenico, from left, were on hand to honor the memory of former players Joe Baldacchino, Jr. (89, former Huskie) and Jimmy Curtis, Jr, (68, former Eagle) in 2012 at Everett Memorial Stadium.

Also, have you had any championship teams since you have been president? As a coach, we were EMass champions once, before falling short in the semifinal round of the New England Regionals. My teams also won a few North Shore championships. As president, I have been honored with multiple trips – pretty much almost every year – down to the Pop Warner national football and cheerleading championships in Orlando, Fla.

It was probably the best Pop Warner team that I have ever seen here or anywhere else for that matter. It consisted of a group of players that you could never stop cheering for, and some of them were Ake Wilcox, Lewis Cine, Mike Sainristil, Jason Matre and Gabe Desousa. Every year, we seem to have our cheerleaders head down to the Sunshine State, and place at least in the Top 5 in the nation. We have had two football teams go down there the past two seasons, only to fall short of the title. They, however, still made myself and the city proud. Which players specifically did you coach that went on to win Super Bowls at the high school, and did you know they’d be that good? The players who have stood out from the beginning would be the Nuzzo brothers, Frank and Matt. They were on my first team in 1990. Watching them play football and baseball as young boys was a treat in itself. Another player who I got to watch as a coach – even though I never coached him myself – was Genaro Leo. He was a sight to watch, and like I mentioned earlier you have that group that Dennis coached that I’ll never forget. It’s hard to point out just a few players, because there were tons of great athletes who have passed through our Peter Forte, Jr., Joe Ciampa, ECTPW president Brian Dimond, Richie Dellisola, Joe LaMonica and Frank Nuzzo, from left, are shown together for a check donation to the league by Ciampa before the annual punt, pass and kick competition at Everett Memorial Stadium circa 10 years ago.

I’ve been constantly impressed with the talent that I’ve seen rise through the ranks all the way through high school, college and the pros. It’s beyond humbling knowing that I may have had a little part in their successes. What are some of your fond memories as a Pop Warner coach and president, and feel Law Offices of JOSEPH D.

My memories started way back to the days when I played. My first coach was Chuckie Leo, and it was Chuckie who got me involved in coaching. As a coach, my best memories were those when I was just surrounded by young enthusiastic kids. The best feeling that I had as a coach was teaching players that were struggling on Aug. 1, but when that last whistle blew to end the season, you see those same players leave the field with a big smile, knowing just how much that they had improved in a few months. To see the look of accomplishment in the eyes of those kids is just a memory that I’ll never forget. On the selfish side, I will never forget watching my daughters – Kloey, Chelsi and now McKenna – cheer, and doing what they love doing in the organization that I’m a part of. I could go on with more memories and people that touched me over the years, but there’s not enough time in the day for that. I had so many memories, and made so many lifelong friends just being a part of this organization for many years. I will never forget the likes of Peter Mangraviti and George Castiello, who have given up their time over the years to make football in Everett successful. George is like a second father to me, and somebody who I’ve always leaned on for advice. There are many more who have touched my heart, and I wish I could list them all, but I hope they all know how much they meant to me, while also helping make this program the best youth organization around, in my mind. DIMOND | SEE PAGE 8 From the Eagles and Huskies to the Everett Crimson Tide PW F or the last 33-plus years when August 1st came around you knew that it was football season throughout the city of Everett - it just felt like something special and on that same August 1st, you knew I would be down Sacramone Park getting ready for the Pop Warner season. It’s been a ride that I can’t believe I was part of. Since day one until now, it’s been an honor to give back to the youth of this great city which I love. I’ve made a ton of friends and memories along the way and wouldn’t change a thing. I had the privilege to watch so many young men and ladies grow to become great adults and, in some cases, had the privilege to watch their children come through those same park gates and no one can take those memories away from me. With that I’d like to say this will be my last season as president of the Tide. This decision I made to not run for my position as president at the end of this season, although painful, doesn’t bother me as much as one would think and that’s because I know for the past 33 years, I gave my all to this organization and to the youth of Everett and no small group of people can ever take that away. So, at this time, I would like to thank the city of Everett for allowing me to be part of running such a great organization. I would like to thank the volunteers that stepped up throughout the years that dedicated their time to help grow this organization into a nationally-known one. Thank you to the parents that brought your children to the park day in and day out. Last and definitely not least, thank you to the players and cheerleaders – it’s been a ride. I will never forget you all and you will be a part of my heart forever.

The Tide’s home opener was against non-league Brockton on Sept. 3. But the Boxers were not too kind to the host squad, shutting them out to the tune of 8-0. “Despite the loss, we held our ground during the fi rst half of the game, when it was still a scoreless tie,” said Persuitte. Emilia Maria-Babcock, who took on the role of the team’s starting goaltender last fall, has continued her stellar play to date. “(Maria-Babcock) turned away countless shots in this game against Brockton to keep us in it throughout the first half,” said Persuitte. Giselle Lemus and Sofi a Arana-Quintanilla did their part to help her out in the defensive backfield, according to Persuitte. Luna Maselli played an amazing role in keeping the ball moving and the team organized from her midfield position. “There’s much more to work on, but good things are coming down the road,” said the coach. Two days later, the Everett girls faced Greater Boston League (GBL) rival Medford in the home opener. Persuitte said it was a physically tough game that ended heartbreakingly for the Tide, 1-0, while adding that Maria-Babcock had another stellar game in net, turning away shot after shot. Her teammates played sharp soccer in front of her. They openly communicated with each other on the pitch, which resulted in a string of crisp passes. Defender Sofi a Arana-Quintanilla, central defensive midfielder Alondra Flores and wingers Connie Paz Hernandez and Kathleen DeSouza stood out against the Mustangs. Persuitte went on to say that Yelsa Garcia played a pivotal role in drawing the Medford defense over to her, which allowed DeSouza, Hernandez Eastern Bank Building on Rte. 1S 605 Broadway, #301 * Saugus (781) 233-6844 www.bostonnorthdental.com TIDE TEAM LEADERS: The EHS Crimson Tide Girls’ Soccer Captains, shown from left to right, are: Emilia Maria-Babcock, Yesla Garcia, and Casey Martinez. and Kayla Andrade to get some solid shots on net. The Tide went on to play Methuen on Sept. 7 on the road, where they lost, 7-1. “This was another tough loss, but I’m seeing signs of improvement,” said Persuitte. “Maria-Babcock kept turning away shots, and her tireless effort kept us in the game, despite the score.” Garcia netted the team’s fi rst goal of the season after a defl ected crossing pass that came her way. She dribbled around the center-backs, before putting her shot home. “Once she scored that goal a spark was lit,” said Persuitte. “Everyone picked up their heads and realized we could cut the defi cit.” Notable players, who held their ground against physical Methuen, were Lemus, Flores and Maselli. Tide varsity newcomer Lavina Batista Simon, who was recently promoted from the JV squad, made a distinct impression that permanently solidifi ed her varsity spot on the roster. “We’re 0-3, but this will change in the coming weeks,” promises Persuitte. The Tide took on Malden (Sept. 10) and Chelsea (Sept. 12) this week after press deadline, looking for that elusive fi rst win. They will then be at Revere to go up against the Patriots Tuesday afternoon (Sept. 17), starting at 4:15 p.m. Dr. Priti Amlani Dr. Bhavisha Patel SIX LANGUAGES.

This bipartisan group of Mayors represent every corner of Massachusetts, thousands of neighborhood restaurants, servers, bartenders and other tipped employees. B “The more Mayors learn about the impacts Question 5 will have on their communities, the more they join NO on 5,” said Chris Keohan, spokesperson for the Committee to Protect Tips. “When mayors walk into a restaurant in their community, servers and bartenders are letting them know directly that there is overwhelming opposition among the staff, management and owners of neighborhood restaurants across the state. The reason is simple…this will lower tipped employee take home pay, skyrocket costs to restaurants and dramatically increase prices to patrons resulting in fewer jobs and closured businesses.” Endorsing Mayors include: (Alphabetical by last name) • Melinda Barrett – Haverhill • Gary Christensen – Malden • Christian Dumais – Marlborough • Robert Hedlund – Weymouth • Patrick Keefe – Revere • Nic ole LaChapelle – Easthampton • Michael Nicholson – Gardner • Neil Perry – Methuen • Joe Petty - Worcester • Sean Reardon – Newburyport • Charlie Sisitsky - Framingham • Robert Sullivan – Brockton “The restaurant industry is a cornerstone of our local economy, providing jobs and generating tax revenue. This ballot question would disrupt the system that currently works for servers, bartenders, and business owners who have said time and time again that they want to keep it the way it is. Vote No on 5 for the future of Haverhill and communities across the Commonwealth.” – Melinda Barrett, Haverhill “This out-of-state ballot initiative is an approach that does not work for Massachusetts. Our tipping system has proven to be successful, and the majority of tipped employees prefer it. To ensure our local businesses can continue to prosper, vote NO in November.” – Gary Christensen, Malden “Quest ion 5 wi l l force restaurants to raise prices and our servers and waitstaff will earn less. We need to help our tipped employees and restaurants, not make things harder, while making it even more expensive for everyone else.” – Robert Hedlund, Weymouth “The advocates of this ballot initiative fail to consider the real-world impacts on tipped workers and the businesses that employ them. If passed, Question 5 will hurt the very people it claims to help.” – Patrick Keefe, Revere “The Commonwealth was built on small, local businesses. The passing of this ballot question will create irreversible economic damages within each and every community in Massachusetts.” – Neil Perry, Methuen “I’m supporting the overwhelming majority of servers and bartenders who oppose Question 5 because it will reduce their wages while forcing many restaurants to raise prices. Higher prices and lower wages while we are still struggling with inflation is not what we need in Massachusetts.” – Joe Petty, Worcester “Nobody knows the Massachusetts tipping system better than the bartenders, servers, and owners themselves. I worked in restaurants for over 30 years, and it was an occupation that kept my family in our home and food on our table. This could cripple restaurants in the Commonwealth, and particularly my City of Newburyport. To prevent excess, unnecessary financial burdens, it is of utmost importance to vote NO this November.” – Sean Reardon, Newburyport For more information about the campaign, please visit www.protecttips.org.

The visiting Hornets were all over the Crimson Tide (0-1) to the tune of 45-14. But keeping the power rankings in mind, the loss should serve as a win when determining the 16 best Division 1 playoff teams late next month. It was a much closer game throughout most of the first half against aforementioned Mansfield. The home team only trailed by three, 17-14, before the game got out of hand. At that point, the Hornets proceeded to score 28 unanswered Everett’s Yariel Oritz on the carry during their home opener against Mansfield Friday night.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports local representatives’ roll call attendance records for the 2024 session through September 6. REPRESENTATIVES’ 2024 ROLL CALL ATTENDANCE RECORDS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 6 2024 The House has held 129 roll calls in 2024. Beacon Hill Roll Call tabulates the number of roll calls on which each representative was present and voting, 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 House, 67.3 percent (107 representatives out of 159) did not miss any roll calls and have 100 percent roll call attendance records; while 32.7 percent (52 representatives out of 159) have missed one or more roll calls. The worst roll call attendance record belongs to Rep. Alan Silvia (D-Fall River) who missed 69 roll calls for a roll call attendance record of only 46.5 percent. Rounding out the representatives with the top five worst records were Reps. Brian Ashe (D-Longmeadow) and Dawne Shand (D-Newburyport) who each missed 23 roll calls (82.1 percent roll call attendance record); Smitty Pignatelli (D-Lenox) who missed 18 roll calls (86.0 percent roll call attendance record); and John Rogers (D-Norwwod) who missed 13 roll calls (89.9 percent roll call attendance record.) The next representatives with the worst records are Reps. John Barrett (D-North Adams) and Carol Doherty (D-Taunton) who each missed 11 roll calls (91.4 percent roll call attendance record); Ruth Balser (D-Newton), Dave Rogers (D-Cambridge) and Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) who each missed ten roll calls - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Division Docket No. MI24P4529EA Estate of: PATRICIA ANN LUNDBERG Date of Death: JANUARY 19, 2024 INFORMAL PROBATE PUBLICATION NOTICE To all persons interested in the above captioned estate, by Petition of Petitioner Justin Lundberg of Medford, MA Justin Lundberg of Medford, MA has been informally appointed as the Personal Representative of the estate to serve without surety on the bond. The estate is being administered under informal procedure by the Personal Representative under the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code without supervision by the Court. Inventory and accounts are not required to be filed with the Court, but interested parties are entitled to notice regarding the administration from the Personal Representative and can petition the Court in any matter relating to the estate, including distribution of assets and expenses of administration. Interested parties are entitled to petition the Court to institute formal proceedings and to obtain orders terminating or restricting the powers of Personal Representatives appointed under informal procedure. A copy of the Petition and Will, if any, can be obtained from the Petitioner. September 13, 2024 (92.2 percent roll call attendance record); Marjorie Decker (D-Cambridge) who missed nine roll calls (93.0 percent roll call attendance record; and Patrick Kearney (D-Scituate), Tom Stanley (D-Waltham), Chynah Tyler (D-Roxbury) and Erika Uyterhoeven (D-Somerville) who each missed eight roll calls (93.7 percent roll call attendance record). Beacon Hill Roll Call contacted all of these representatives to ask why they missed some roll calls. Only six of the 15 responded. The other nine were contacted three times by Beacon Hill Roll Call but did not respond. The list of nonrespondents consists of Reps. Ashe, Barrett, Balser, Decker, Stanley, Tyler, Uyterhoeven, Kearney, and Dave Rogers. Here are the responses: Rep. Silvia: “The last eleven years I have had nearly perfect attendance. This session regrettably due to cardiac issues I had emergency cardiac surgery, hospitalization twice and was unable to travel to Boston. I did vote remotely when possible.” Rep. Doherty, whose missed roll calls were all on one day, August 1, responded: “After such a good voting record all session, I am disappointed to not have finished it with a sterling record. I was feeling quite poorly and had to leave the chamber [on that day] around 12:30 p.m. Rep. Pignatelli responded: “I was out of town attending a funeral.” Rep. Lombardo responded: “I had family medical issues.” Rep. Shand responded: “In April, I spent three weeks in Alabama with my mother navigating four different hospital settings in one of the most beleaguered and impoverished parts of the country. Morally, ethically and legally, I couldn’t leave her to return to Beacon Hill for budget week.” Rep. John Rogers responded: “The House Journal, the official record of the House, has publicly recorded Rep. John Rogers on 100 percent of all roll calls this session.” Beacon Hill Roll Call stands by its statement that Rogers in fact was not present and did not vote on the 13 roll calls in question. Rogers’ response to Beacon Hill Roll Call is referring to written statements submitted by him for inclusion in the House Journal, after the roll call votes took place, indicating that had he been present in the chamber for those roll calls, “Here’s how I would have voted.” The vote is not counted in the official tally and he is listed in the journal as “not voting. Rep. Joseph McGonagle 100 percent (0) ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL CAP LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES (H 2944) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would allow cities and towns to impose a cap on local property taxes paid by low-income seniors over 65. The cap would apply to single filer seniors with incomes of less than $50,000 and married filers with incomes below $60,000. The senior’s assets would have to be less than $75,000, excluding their primary residence and they would also be allowed to own one motor vehicle. Supporters said the bill would not have any financial impact on the state but would simply create a process for cities and towns to impose property tax caps for seniors within the specified income and asset limits. They argued that the bill would mean municipalities can decide if and how they provide real estate tax relief to lower-income seniors, allowing cities and towns more flexibility to address the needs of their communities and further the state’s commitment to lowering costs for seniors and ensuring our aging population can remain in their homes. “I’m glad to see this bill continuing to move through the process,” said sponsor Rep. Adam Scanlon (D-North Attleborough). “We accomplished a lot last year with the $1 billion tax cut we passed, which included legislation I filed to raise the senior circuit breaker tax credit. We need to do as much as possible to lighten the load on seniors who have built their lives here and are now on fixed incomes, and that’s why I filed this bill to give cities and towns flexibility to cap property taxes for low-income seniors.” TAX COLLECTOR CAN WAIVE UP TO 50 PERCENT OF LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES (H 2971) – The House have initial approval to a bill that allows local tax collectors in cities and towns to waive up to 50 percent of the total property tax liability, including interest, charges and fees, of any homeowner in any tax period. “[This bill] is a crucial piece of legislation, especially in the current economic climate, as it provides much needed relief for taxpayers, particularly seniors who are often on fixed incomes,” said sponsor Rep. Marcus Vaughn (R-Wrentham). “For many seniors, property taxes and other local taxes can be a significant burden, especially in times of economic uncertainty. As costs of living continue to rise, and many seniors struggle with limited income from pensions or Social Security, the flexibility offered by [this bill] can make a critical difference. By allowing tax collectors to waive a portion of these costs, this bill provides seniors with greater financial breathing room, potentially enabling them to remain in their homes and communities without the fear of falling into debt or facing tax-related penalties.” Vaughn continued, “In the context of today’s economic challenges, such as inflation and rising healthcare expenses, [the bill] is a compassionate measure that recognizes the need to support our seniors and other vulnerable citizens. It promotes financial stability and peace of mind, ensuring that seniors are not unduly penalized for tax burdens they may find increasingly difficult to manage.” PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION FOR VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS AND EMTS (H 2832) – The House gave initial approval to legislation that would allow cities and towns to establish a program to reduce the property tax for volunteer, call or auxiliary firefighters and EMTs in exchange for their services. The reduction would be in addition to any other exemption or abatement to which the person is entitled but the measure limits the total reduction of property taxes for any individual to $2,500. “This bill was filed to show appreciation and value for the sacrifice of volunteer firefighters and EMTs in many Massachusetts communities without full time fire departments,” said sponsor Rep. Steven Howitt (R-Seekonk). RENAME THE MASSACHUSETTS REHABILITATION COMMISSION (S 2941) – The House and Senate approved and sent to Gov. Healey legislation that would rename the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission to MassAbility, a change that supporters say will better define the agency’s role in supporting residents with disabilities to live independently. The legislation also removes offensive terminology in the Massachusetts General Laws referring to people with disabilities in sections of the law that pertain to MassAbility. Supporters said the name change reflects the intention to empower individuals living with disabilities and move away from outdated terminology as the office undergoes broad changes toward a more BEACON | SEE PAGE 17 ׉ 7cassandra://q15ydVULX1eEufIkaPdVUVMEFpaYm36UwB8Wnch6h6M'}`̰fB+ jWf׉E)THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 13, 2024 Page 17 BEACON | FROM PAGE 16 expansive model for disability employment services and independent living. “As lawmakers, we know that words matter,” said Speaker of the House Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “This legislation is our latest effort to ensure that our state laws do not use antiquated words that carry negative connotations, words that also serve as a reminder of past injustices.” “This legislation is not just a name change but a mission enhancement,” said Sen. Nick Collins, Senate Chair of the Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight. “By defining the commonwealth’s response now with emphasis on the abilities of our citizens, we are taking the MassAbility Commission in a new proactive, positive direction to better serve the community’s needs.” “The language we use is important,” said Rep. Antonio F. D. Cabral (D-New Bedford), House Chair of the Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight. “Changing the agency’s name to MassAbility represents a shift in the perception on disability, focusing instead on the strengths, skills and capabilities of every individual. This new name of the agency reduces stigma and emphasizes equal access, self-determination, and inclusion. I believe, as MassAbility, the agency will project the abilities rather than the barriers for jobseekers.” ADD 225 LIQUOR LICENSES (H 5039) – The House and Senate approved and sent to Gov. Maura Healey a bill adding 225 new alcohol licenses for the City of Boston over the next three years. Supporters said the licenses would be distributed across 13 Boston zip codes, expanding equity for restaurant owners in historically underrepresented parts of the city and boosting economic opportunity in communities of color that have been systemically excluded for decades. “I’m proud to have worked with my colleagues in the House and Senate to add additional liquor licenses to underserved neighborhoods across Boston,” said Sen. Nick Collins (D-South Boston). “These additional licenses will improve the sustainability of existing small businesses, create opportunities for new businesses, and create economic vibrancy on our main streets.” “I am proud to support this equitable proposal that will give an economic boost to restaurants and small businesses across Boston, especially in communities of color that historically haven’t had much access to these licenses,” said Sen. Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett). “Expanding liquor licenses in these Boston neighborhoods means expanding economic opportunity and equity into critical areas that have been underrepresented for too long,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). LONG TERM CARE AND ASSISTED LIVING (H 5033) – Gov. Healey signed into law a bill making changes to the state’s long term care and assisted living industry that supporters said will make sweeping reforms to these two industries and will take a powerful step toward delivering high quality and safe care for older residents across the state. “In Massachusetts, we are committed to making sure our aging residents and their loved ones can trust that they are receiving the highest quality of care from qualified staff at their long-term care or assisted living facilities,” said Gov. Healey. “This bill helps to provide them with that peace of mind, while also ensuring our hardworking providers have the resources and support they need to succeed in this important career. We are also proud to be enhancing protections for older LGBTQ+ residents to ensure they receive the specialized care they need free from discrimination.” The bill includes provisions related to basic health services administered in assisted living facilities and oversight of long-term care facilities, including creation of a program for the certification, training and oversight of certified medication aides who would be authorized to administer medications to residents of long-term care facilities; several new initiatives to recruit and retain a dedicated long-term care workforce; allowing assisted living residences to offer basic health services such as helping a resident administer drops, manage their oxygen or take a home diagnostic test; giving the Executive Office of Elder Affairs new powers to penalize non-compliance by allowing it to fine assisted living residences up to $500 per day; and authorizing the attorney general to file a civil action against a person who commits abuse, mistreatment or neglect of a patient or resident. Other provisions allow the Department of Public Health (DPH) to limit, restrict or revoke a long-term care facility’s license for cause, such as substantial or sustained failure to provide adequate care, substantial or sustained failure to comply with laws or regulations or lack of financial capacity to operate a facility; streamline the process for small house nursing homes to be licensed; direct DPH to establish and implement training and education programs on topics such as infection prevention and control, resident care plans and staff safety programs; and require long-term care facilities to develop individualized outbreak response plans to contain the spread of disease and ensure consistent communication with DPH, residents, families, and staff. The measure also would require each long-term care facility to provide staff training on the rights and care of LGBTQ+ older adults and older adults living with HIV; forbid any long-term care facility and its staff from discriminating based in whole or in part on a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, intersex status or HIV status, whether through the denial of admission, medical or non-medical care, access to restrooms or through room assignments. QUOTABLE QUOTES “Reducing the amount of waste we produce – by reusing, repairing, rescuing, and donating what we already have – has the biggest direct impact on our ability to meet our waste reduction goals. Funding these projects ensures we have the infrastructure to tackle waste reduction right here in Massachusetts.” --- Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bonnie Heiple announcing the the awarding pf $140,126 in microgrants to organizations, municipalities and academic institutions focused on reducing waste generation and prolonging the lifespan of products by offering donation, rescue, reuse and repair services across the state. “Massachusetts is the number one state for women, for having a baby and for raising a family. That’s in large part due to our commitment to making the strongest child care and early education investments in the country. Our nation-leading efforts have added thousands of new child care slots across the state, and we’re continuing to partner with the Legislature to make child care more affordable and support our hardworking providers.” ---Gov. Maura Healey on what she calls Massachusetts’ national leadership when it comes to making child care more affordable and accessible. “This is yet another example of the extreme lack of government oversight of taxpayer dollars. Ordinary Massachusetts taxpayers are already struggling with inflation and the high cost of living in our state. It’s a slap in the face that the Healey-Driscoll Administration shows such little respect for how Massachusetts residents’ hard-earned money is being spent.” --- MassGOP Chair Amy Carnevale commenting on a recent Boston Herald report revealing that EBT cards issued to Massachusetts welfare recipients have been used out of state, including in popular vacation destinations such as Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, Alaska and in 165 cities and towns in California, as well as 293 cities and towns in Florida, among many others across the nation. “Massachusetts’ clean energy transition will deliver benefits to every community, including more high-paying jobs, cleaner air, improved public health and lower energy costs. We are proud to support municipalities as they make these investments, and we will continue to work with them to reduce our reliance on dirty fossil fuels.” --- Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper announcing more than $7.4 million in grants for communities across Massachusetts to fund clean energy projects. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of Sept. 2-6. the House met for a total of one hour and 11 minutes and the Senate met for a total of one hour and 16 minutes. MON.SEPT. 2 No House session No Senate session TUES.

What are my options? Early Retiree Dear Early, There are several places early retirees can fi nd health insurance coverage before Medicare kicks in, but the best option for you will depend on your income level, your health care needs and how long you’ll need coverage for. Here’s where to look. Affordable Care Act: For most early retirees who aren’t yet eligible for Medicare, the Aff ordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance marketplace, also know as Obamacare, is the best option for getting comprehensive health coverage. And you won’t be denied coverage or charged extra for preexisting health conditions. And, if your income falls below the 400 percent poverty level after you retire – anything below $60,240 for a single or $81,760 for a couple in 2024 – you’ll also be eligible for a subsidy that will reduce your monthly premiums. The ACA also ensures that at least through 2025, households with incomes above that 400 percent poverty level will not have to pay more than 8.5 percent of their income for a benchmark policy. To see how much subsidy you may be eligible for, use Kaiser Family Foundation subsidy calculator at KFF.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator. To shop for ACA plans in your state, visit HealthCare.gov or call 800-318-2596. Or, if you want some extra help, contact a certifi ed agent or broker at HealthCare.gov/fi nd-assistance. COBRA: Another temporary health insurance option you may be eligible for is the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). Under this federal law, if you work for a company that has 20 or more employees, you can remain on your employer’s group health plan for at least 18 months – but could last up to 36 months. But be aware that COBRA isn’t cheap. You’ll pay the full monthly premium yourself, plus a 2 percent administrative fee. To learn more, talk to your employer benefits administrator or contact the Employee Benefi ts Security Administration (Askebsa.dol.gov; 866444-3272). If, however, the company you work for has fewer than 20 employees, you may still be able to get continued coverage through your company if your state has “mini-COBRA.” Contact your state insurance department to see if this is available where you live. Short-Term Health Insurance: If you can’t fi nd an affordable ACA plan and COBRA is too expensive, another possible option is shortterm health insurance. These plans, which are not available in every state, are cheaper, bare-bones health plans that provide coverage for up to 3 months with a one-month extension available. But be aware that short-term plans don’t comply with the ACA so they can deny sick people coverage, they don’t cover preexisting conditions and they can exclude coverage essentials like prescription drugs. To fi nd and compare shortterm health plans, try sites like eHealthInsurance.com or PivotHealth.com. Healthcare sharing ministries: If the previously listed options don’t work for you, another temporary solution could be healthcare sharing ministries (HCSM). These are cost-sharing health plans in which members – who typically share a religious belief – make monthly payments to cover expenses of other members, including themselves. HCSM’s are cheaper than paying full out-of-pocket costs for traditional health insurance but be aware that HCSM’s are not health insurance. They don’t have to comply with the consumer protections of the ACA, and they can also reject or limit coverage for having pre-existing health issues and limit how much you’ll be reimbursed for your medical costs. Preventive care typically isn’t covered either. To look for these plans, comparison shop at the three largest providers – Samaritan Ministries (SamaritanMinistries. org), Medi-Share (MyChristianCare.org), and Christian Healthcare Ministries (Chministries.org).

Why would someone want to do this? This helps to protect against one of the greatest risks to retirement income- living to an age longer than you originally anticipated. Longevity risk is one of the biggest obstacles that financial planners face today. Life expectancies continue to rise due to all of the medical advancements over the last 100 years. If you were to consider a married couple each of whom is 65 years of age, there is a 50% probability that one of them will live to age 92 and a 25% probability that one will live to the age of 97. Historically speaking, a low interest rate environment is more likely to lead one to delay receiving social security benefits. Although bank interest rates are high right now, as well as shortterm Treasuries, the guaranteed 8% increase for each year you delay your social security benefits is something to take note of. Furthermore, with the Feds ready to lower the federal discount rate this September, maybe two more times before the year ends, and possibly several more times in 2025, the high interest rate environment might change rather quickly. The United States Congress had abolished the “file and suspend” strategy. This involved someone who would file for social security benefits and then immediately suspend those benefits. Once you filed for social security benefits after reaching the age of 66, your spouse would then be entitled under the law to receive 50% of your benefit. Once your benefits were suspended, your spouse would continue to receive a social security benefit equal to 50% of your benefit amount. Once you suspended your benefits, each year thereafter your future social security benefits would increase by 8%. This was simply found money for the couple. Furthermore, if your spouse had a work history of his or her own, by collecting under your benefit amount, future social security benefits based upon his or her own work history would continue to grow as a result of delaying collecting benefits under his or her own work history. Your spouse could then wait until age 70 and then start collecting based upon his or her own work history. At that point in time, the monthly benefit would be a lot higher. Keep in mind that the spousal benefit is still available. This benefit provides a social security benefit to the non-working spouse equal to 50% of the social security benefits of the working spouse. This is true even if the non-working spouse never had earned income and therefore never contributed into the social security system. The restricted filing strategy was also available. You had to have been born prior to January 1, 1954. This strategy worked well if both spouses had a significant work history. You had to have been at least 66 years of age or older to take advantage of this strategy. You could claim social security benefits based upon your spouse’s work history while simultaneously allowing social security benefits based upon your own work history to continue to accrue delayed retirement credits until age 70. Once you had reached age 70, you could then collect social security benefits based upon your own work history. Now, anyone born prior to January 1, 1954 has already turned 70 years of age, so this strategy is no longer available. You should always have in mind the feasibility of maximizing the monthly social security benefits of your surviving spouse. If one spouse dies, the surviving spouse might not be able to survive on just one social security check each month. The survivor benefit feature of social security allows the surviving spouse to collect the higher of his or her own social security benefit based upon his or her own work history, or 100% of the deceased spouse’s monthly social security benefit. Delaying social security benefits until age 70 would provide for the highest monthly social security benefit for your spouse if you were to die. If you are divorced but the marriage lasted for at least 10 years, and you did not remarry, you would still be eligible to receive 50% of your former spouse’s social security benefits while your former spouse is still alive and 100% of your former spouse’s social security benefits if your former spouse is deceased. You can remarry after you reach 60 years of age and not lose any benefits based upon your former spouse’s work history. In this case, your former spouse need not even have filed for social security benefits. You can still file for social security benefits so long as you were married at least 10 years. Joseph D.
