ADDOCCO TEAT Free Every Friday 617-387-2200 Friday, August 2, 2024 Revitalization of Everett Sq. starts with eminent domain of unsightly Bouvier Building Time for certain city councillors to set personal politics aside for betterment of the city By Neil Zolot A t their meeting Monday, July 22, the City Council rejected a request from Mayor Carlo DeMaria to borrow $3 million for improvements to Everett Square. The same city councillors had also done so at prior meetings on April 29 and May 13. Members raised objections about parking, new street confi gurations and traffi c patterns that would create common space. The Square has been described as the Heart of Everett, but DeMaria pointed out, “It’s not in the best condition.” He’s right. Everett Square, weighed down by the ancient Bouvier Building, is long overdue for a facelift. An intersection like Everett Square is not only the center of a commercial district, but, hopefully, a touchstone and a place to showcase the culture and personality of a community. Think about what Harvard Square, Davis Square and Copley Square mean to Cambridge, Somerville and Boston. Unlike Cambridge and Boston, Everett doesn’t have a Common or something like Revere Beach. Revere’s Common near its City Hall is small, but at least it’s there. The irregular shape of downtown Chelsea around its City Hall makes for a good area to cordon off and provides space for street fairs. Saugus Center, anchored by a rotary, is closed for its Town Day every year. Most of Everett’s open space is in its cemeteries. Glendale Park needs to be used lightly to keep it in shape for sports. Rivergreen Park/Playground isn’t centrally located and hard to get to, even more so than Mary O’Malley Park in Chelsea.

Sen. DiDomenico supports sweeping systemic reforms to long-term care and assisted living facilities Bill enhances oversight, requires outbreak planning and creates LgBTQ+ Bill of Rights O n July 25, 2024, the Massachusetts Senate approved sweeping reforms to the Commonwealth’s long-term care and assisted living sectors, taking a powerful step towards delivering the high quality and safe care that Massachusetts seniors deserve. Senator Sal DiDomenico supported An Act relative to long term care and assisted living, which substantially strengthens oversight and enforcement while also requiring facilities to create outbreak plans should a health issue arise. The bill also creates an LGBTQ+ Bill of Rights for aging residents to prohibit discrimination based on their LGBTQ+ identity or HIV status. After robust debate, the bill passed, 39-0. Diff erent versions of the bill having been passed by the House and Senate, on July 29, 2024, a conference committee was appointed to reconcile the two versions before sending a bill to the Governor’s desk. “Our state’s older residents www.810bargrille.com LIKE US ON FACEBOOK ADVOCATE NEWSPAPER FACEBOOK.COM/ADVOCATE.NEWS.MA The Future Starts With Savings.

A minimum of $500 is required to open a Certificate of Deposit and earn the advertised APY. Member FDIC | Member DIF are invaluable members of our community, and it is of the highest importance that we ensure the best quality of life for people living in assisted living facilities,” said Senator DiDomenico. “I am proud to support this legislative package that will move our state forward in helping ensure our long-term care and assisted living facilities are safe and providing quality care throughout the Commonwealth. We are all going to need some form of care when we get older, and it is our obligation in government to guarantee everyone has the right to age with dignity. I want to thank Senate President Spilka, Chair Rodrigues, and Senator Jehlen for shepherding this critical legislation through the Senate.” The bill includes provisions related to basic health services administered in assisted living facilities and oversight of longterm care facilities, as outlined below. Assisted living basic health services: The bill makes it easier for residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities to get timely and effi - cient care by allowing Assisted Living Residences (ALRs) to off er basic health services, such as helping a resident administer drops, manage their oxygen or take a home diagnostic test. The legislation requires ALRs create service plans that demonstrate the residence has the necessary procedures in place, such as staff training and policies, to ensure safe and effective delivery of basic health services. The legislation enhances oversight and compliance of ALRs by lowering the threshold for ownership interest disclosure from 25 percent to five percent. Under the new law, applicants are required to demonstrate that any prior multifamily housing, ALR or health care facilities in which they had an interest met all the licensure or certifi cation criteria. If any of these facilities were subject to enforcement action, the applicant must provide Sal DiDomenico State Senator evidence that they corrected these defi ciencies without revocation of licensure or certifi cation. This bill also gives the Executive Offi ce of Elder Aff airs (EOEA) new powers to penalize noncompliance by allowing them to fine ALRs up to $500 per day. This is in addition to existing EOEA powers to modify, suspend or revoke a certifi cation, or deny a recertifi cation. Finally, it adds whistleblower protections for staff and residents who report anything happening at an ALR that they reasonably believe is a threat to the health or safety of staff or residents. Long-term care facilities: The bill requires the Department of Public Health (DPH) to inspect each long-term care facility every nine to 15 months to assess quality of services and compliance. It also requires DPH to review the civil litigation history, in addition to the criminal history, of the longDIDOMENICO | SEE PAGE 10 18-Month CD 5.0% APY* There’s Every Bank, Then There’s ׉ 7cassandra://gvjUdggXHc_Q9WZiisqtCWxYVaui5DWrDIgHyvj6ZhM-V`̰fܴ?6׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 2, 2024 Page 3 ~ From the Offi ce of Mayor Carlo DeMaria ~ A Fond Farewell to Father Adriano Tezone P lease join me as a community in saying goodbye and wishing Father Adriano Tezone of St. Anthony’s Parish a blessed journey as he answers his new calling in Orlando, Florida. We are very saddened to see him go after four years of being a wonderful addition to our City and St. Anthony’s Church. His love for this City is clearly evident in the beautiful and thoughtful goodbye letter that he sent to us. With Father Adriano’s permission, I would like to share his letter with all of you and wish him nothing but the very best on behalf of the entire community of Everett. Thank you, Father Adriano, for the many blessings you have bestowed upon our City during your time here. We will always fondly remember you with tremendous gratitude. Mayor Carlo DeMaria City of Everett The following is Father Adriano’s letter to Mayor Carlo DeMaria: Dear Mayor Carlo DeMaria, Life is made of cycles. Each of them has its beginning, middle and end. And it is with a mix of emotions that I address you today, as the time has come to say goodbye. After four years here in Everett, on August 01, 2024, I am leaving to begin a new assignment as pastor in Orlando, Florida. It’s difficult to express in words how meaningful these years were to me. From the fi rst contact to the City Hall, I was welcomed all times by Everett City Hall staff , with such aff ection and generosity that I felt at home always. Many thanks also to Dolores who is always available to help us here in all the parish needs! I am leaving Everett, but I am taking with me a lot of good memories of this city, which really works hard for the common good of each resident, no matter their nationality, race or color! Together, we experienced so many special moments. From the liturgical celebrations that brought us together in prayer, to the community meetings that strengthened our bonds as citizens. Rest assured that I will take all the experiences shared with me on my journey. Your leadership makes the diff erence in this city! I pray to God to continue to guide and inspire you on this journey. Now, preparing to leave, I ask for your prayers. Thanks for all your support through these years. May God continue to bless each member of our city staff abundantly. May He always guide and protect you and your family, and may our Lord Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, always be by your side, leading you along the path. With all my gratitude and blessings! Fr.

Joe McGonagle – again. It’s bad enough that he couldn’t win in 2022 when he was beaten badly by McGonagle – but here he comes again, along with his publicist, Josh Resnek, the corrupt reporter/publisher for the Everett Leader-Herald – who’s also being beaten in court for slandering the mayor – trying to tell you that McGonagle hates veterans in Resnek’s crooked ads. Marchese couldn’t ask for a better handler than Resnek – as they both have a lot in common. Resnek once owned a notorious watering hole in Chelsea called the Beacon Café, affectionately known as the “Stinkin’ Beacon” which he lost due to making poor decisions. And like Resnek, Marchese owned a bar on Ferry St. called McDonald’s Café – where he too made some poor decisions that cost him his business. As an alderman in 2003, Marchese couldn’t have cared less about the abutters across the street from his bar who constantly complained to police about all the late-night shady goings on. When he was asked by his good friends to curb the bad behavior, the former alderman told them to take a hike – because – he’s Mike Marchese. And just like that, Marchese’s bar was raided by police and eight people were arrested and charged with drug trafficking. According to a Boston Globe story, a police task force working for four months with an undercover State Police trooper who made multiple purchases of “cocaine, marijuana, and pharmaceutical drugs at the bar.” The eight suspects were also charged with selling cocaine within a school zone.

Just take a look at these examples Marchese reposted from one of his friends comparing black protesters to monkeys. And when he’s not attacking the Muslim community, he’s ripping the LBGTQ community as well. It makes you wonder, who is he going to represent at the State House, other than his own interests? And is this the kind of character that should represent Everett? Absolutely not. And why isn’t anyone complaining in Everett?

July 22 they formally rejected plans. (A plan was approved by a diff erent City Council in 2017 and plans were formulated in 2019 as part of a larger urban renewal plan, but the pandemic put everything on hold.) “I believe a new proposal would have to come before us to continue,” Councillor-at-Large Katy Rogers said. “The Administration will need to file a request for reconsideration or a new request,” DeMaria’s Chiefof-Staff, Erin Deveney, confi rmed. “City Councillors agree improvements are needed, but there was no agreement as to how. The Mayor is obviously disappointed when he can’t reach consensus with the Council, but is not easily discouraged. When he feels he has a good idea, he’s willing to continue to advocate for what he feels is in the best interest of the City. He’s persistent when he thinks improvements can be made to benefi t the community.” Any action will probably come after a vote in the state legislature on whether to include $2 million in bills for aid to Everett to defray the cost of the $3 million requested as the City’s share of a $5 million project. The other $2 million is secured through $1.4 million from the state Gaming Commission and $600,000 from a previous state bill, some of which could be lost if the project falls through. “For Councillors who were supportive, but concerned about the cost to the City, that may allay those concerns,” Deveney thinks. Current plans do not include creation of a traditional Common, but squaring off the diagonal entrance from Broadway’s southbound lane into School Street Place and School Street would create what might be better described as a plaza similar to broad sidewalks in Harvard Square where musicians play, which would be adjacent to a grassy area in between the intersections of Norwood and School Streets and Broadway. “The Mayor is advocating for improvements to Everett Square to create open space conducive to community gatherings,” Deveney said. Some objections to that center around elimination of the so-called School Street Shootout, where southbound motorists enter School Street to avoid the traffic back-up farther down Broadway towards Revere Beach Parkway and get a faster route to Main Street to Sweetser Circle. On July 22, Rogers, City Council President Robert Van Campen, Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Matewsky and Ward 3 Councillor Anthony DiPierro voted to authorize borrowing the $3 million, but six other Councillors voted against it, and one was absent. “I feel bad about that,” Matewsky said. “We have an opportunity to do something nice and I think this will come back to us. There’s no business growth in the Square and it needs new retail businesses. For it to be revived you need some.” “We must invest in our infrastructure,” Van Campen feels. “We have seen what years of neglect and underinvestment have done to some of our assets. The concerns which have been raised that local businesses in Everett Square need support and resources are real and I believe we should advocate there as well. I also believe we should target investments along Norwood Street. Rebuilding and improving Everett Square will pave the way for an improved environment in which all our local businesses can thrive and grow.” Rogers hopes recent events “are at least a catalyst in obtaining the Bouvier Building. My hope is if we that take that step, there may be more appeal for other Councillors in renovating the Square in general.” Rogers resolution to “consider acquiring the Bouvier Building, 166-172 School Street near Norwood Street, by eminent domain and propose redevelopment for public community benefit” was unanimously approved. The condemned building was built in 1877 and once housed the city’s library. Decades ago, it housed veterans’ organizations and an ice cream parlor. DeMaria has suggested building a new City Hall on the site, while Ward 6 Councillor Peter Pietrantonio has suggested it could be razed for a Common. “We have to take the building, but it doesn’t have to be used for a public purpose,” Matewsky thinks. “The City could sell it to a private developer at a profi t.” That being said, its time to move the city forward. The mayor has a plan, along with the support of some city councilllors.The benefi ts gained from a revitalized Everett Square far outweigh any personal agendas. The crumbling Bouvier Building is a black mark, an ugly reminder of those who continue to snub their noses at the administration’s plan to benefi t Everett’s residents. STUCK IN COUNCIL: The dilapidated Bouvier Building in Everett Square will continue to sit in decay after city councillors voted down for a third time, borrowing $3 million to improve Everett Square.

City of Everett encourages and reminds local organizations to apply for ARPA funds by Aug. 9 L ocal Everett organizations have until August 9 to apply for American Rescue Plan Act grant funds that must be awarded by December 31, 2024. The City of Everett has allocated $11.2 million (M) to fund projects and programs that directly benefit the residents of Everett and help in the recovery of the negative impacts created or exacerbated by COVID-19. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which is also called the COVID-19 Stimulus Package or ARPA, is a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill passed by the 117th United States Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden on March 11, 2021. The City of Everett has partnered with a multicultural marketing firm, ASG, to conduct community outreach and create awareness of these funding opportunities throughout Everett. Everett officials have organized multiple touchpoints with residents, including business walks to inform the community before the deadline. Interested applicants can learn more about how to apply through hybrid information sessions conducted in Spanish, Portuguese and English. “These funds have the potential to help our small businesses and local organizations that support our residents, and I urge all organizations and businesses to consider applying so we can build a stronger Everett with this funding,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “Current and future Everett resiREMINDS | SEE PAGE 14 DIDOMENICO | FROM PAGE 2 term care facility applicants, including any litigation related to quality of care, patient safety, labor issues or deceptive business practices. The bill requires DPH to review the financial capacity of an applicant and its history in providing long-term care in Massachusetts and other states. It requires applicants to notify DPH if it is undergoing financial distress, such as filing for bankruptcy, defaulting on a lending agreement or undergoing receivership. It allows DPH to limit, restrict or revoke a long-term care facility 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. It also gives DPH the power to appoint a temporary manager if a long-term care facility owner fails to maintain substantial or sustained compliance with laws and regulations. This manager would be brought on for at least three months, at the facility owner’s expense, to bring the facility into compliance. The bill requires long-term care facilities to submit outbreak response plans to DPH with clear protocols for the isolation of residents, lab testing, visitor screening, preventing spread from staff, and the notification of residents, family and staff in the event of a contagious disease outbreak. The bill prohibits long-term care facilities from discriminating against residents based on LGBTQ+ identity or HIV status, whether through the denial of admission, medical or nonmedical care, access to restrooms or through room assignments. It also requires staff training on preserving LGBTQ+ rights and care. ׉ 7cassandra://Y-KfrbalTAtvyBL4wPyUnwZ-7J4bvgp3eybAYal8HOU-V`̰fܴ?6 ׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 2, 2024 Page 11 ~ Everett Public Libraries Calendar of Events ~ August 5–10, 2024 Parlin Adult and Teens Yarn Club: Parlin Fireplace Room, Tuesday, August 6 at 7 p.m. Come chit-chat and stitch!

Maura Healey a bill that would invest in information technology (IT) upgrades, improvements and new projects across state government. The measure authorizes $1.23 billion in bonded spending and $400 million in anticipated federal funds. “Today the Legislature is investing in a safer, more efficient and modernized digital experience for residents and state employees alike,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “Our technology infrastructure is a lynchpin for nearly every service and resource our state delivers, and enhancing it is a fundamental step toward increasing access and creating systems that work for everyone.” “I am immensely proud of the dedication and effort demonstrated … to bring this report to fruition,” said Rep. Marcus Vaughn (R-Wrentham). “This achievement stands as a testament to the power of collaboration. By working together, we have shown our shared commitment to serving the best interests of the commonwealth.” “Government spending is wildly out of control and it’s fiscally irresponsible to keep passing these boondoggle bills,” said Rep. Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick), one of only two members to vote against the measure. “We need to reduce spending and taxes in order to lower the cost of living in the commonwealth. The path we’re on is unsustainable and will lead to more businesses and taxpayers fleeing the state.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes Yes WAGE TRANSPARENCY (H 4890) House 152-5, Senate 38-2, approved and sent to Gov. Healey a bill, named the Frances Perkins Workplace Equity Act, in honor of the first woman to serve as U.S. Labor Secretary. The measure would require employers with 25 or more employees to disclose a salary range when posting a job position. The measure also would require employers with 100 or more employees to file annual employment data reports, including information on employee demographics and salaries, with the state. “The 2016 Equal Pay Act was a huge step forward in closing pay gaps and it worked,” said Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “One study from 2020 showed salary history bans alone increased pay by as much as 5 percent increase for all job changers, an 8 percent increase for women and a 13 percent increase for Black workers. This bill takes the next steps in providing more information for job seekers and ensuring that women and people of color enter wage negotiations with more information at their fingertips to secure better offers. With the data collected we’ll learn about inequities that persist and be able to identify ways to solve them.” “True progress towards justice and equality demands that we not only acknowledge the critical importance of wage equity, particularly for women and people of color, but actively strive to achieve it,” said Rep. Brandy Fluker Oakley (D-Mattapan). “By achieving wage equity, we empower individuals and strengthen our communities, fostering an environment where everyone can thrive and contribute to a more equitable future.” “I voted ‘no’ on the wage transparency bill because this is just another burden being unfairly placed on small businesses,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “The National Federation of Independent Businesses wanted the threshold to be 100 or more. Small businesses will inevitably be unaware of this law and receive fines and penalties that are significant, even though they’re not operating with malicious intent. Massachusetts is already an increasingly difficult state to operate a business and this well-intentioned bill will only make it more difficult.” “Burdensome regulations and taxes already make Massachusetts one of the least friendly states in the country to run a business,” said Rep. Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick). “In addition to the cost of compliance, DEI policies, such as so-called salary transparency mandates, crush innovation and stifle talent development. This bill is just the latest attempt to advance a toxic ideology that is destroying free market enterprise. Beacon Hill is killing small businesses.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes Yes DOG KENNEL SAFETY – OLLIE’S LAW (H 4919) House 159-0, approved and sent to the Senate legislation that would allow the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources to establish rules and regulations for dog kennels in the Bay State, to ensure animal welfare, protect consumers and keep kennel staff safe. Requirements include, obtaining a license from the municipality, an annual inspection, dog to staff ratio specifications, injury reporting, indoor and outdoor physical facility requirements, insurance and minimal housing and care requirements. Supporters said that currently, the state has no oversight of dog daycare or boarding kennels. They argued it is estimated that a dog is injured or killed every nine to ten days in Massachusetts at these kennels. They noted that many families in Massachusetts have suffered the loss or injury of an animal at a dog daycare or kennel that could have been avoided by commonsense regulations over these facilities. “I filed this bill on behalf of my constituent, Amy Baxter, whose 7-month-old puppy was attacked by other dogs at a boarding kennel in my district,” said Rep. Brian Ashe (D-Longmeadow). “Sadly, Ollie eventually succumbed to his many injuries. People assume these facilities are regulated by the state and have safety protocols in place. Many already do, however, far too many do not, leaving animals and staff at risk. I and the Coalition that was formed, wanted to do everything possible to prevent these types of situations from occurring again.

Joseph McGonagle Yes BAN ELEPHANTS AND OTHER ANIMALS (H 4915) House 155-0, approved and sent to the Senate legislation that eff ective January 1, 2025, would ban elephants, bears, lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, cheetahs and other wild animals from being used in traveling circuses and other traveling shows in Massachusetts where they would be used to perform tricks, give rides or otherwise participate as an accompaniment for the entertainment of a live audience. Violators would be fi ned between $500 and $10,000. The ban would not apply to zoos or to performances that take place at other non-mobile, permanent facilities if the covered animal is a resident animal at the same facility in which the performance takes place. “Massachusetts has long been a leader in promoting animal welfare by enacting laws to protect animals from abuse and neglect, but most of our current laws apply to domestic animals and common household pets,” said co-sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “[The measure] would extend these same protections to exotic animals that are used in traveling exhibits and shows. These animals are often subject to cruel and inhumane treatment, including prolonged periods of confi nement and other forms of neglect and abuse, all to provide entertainment. Several communities in Massachusetts have already implemented local bans, but a statewide ban on traveling animal acts is long overdue.” “I was deeply moved by the compelling evidence and public sentiment against the use of wild animals in traveling acts,” said co-sponsor Rep. Carole Fiola (D-Fall River). “After taking a safari in Africa in 2019 … seeing these animals in their natural state highlighted the unnatural inhumane treatment these animals face in traveling acts. Now, as a sponsor of this legislation, I feel a strong obligation to ensure we bring about signifi cant change. With over twothirds of Massachusetts voters in favor of banning wild animal acts, it’s clear our constituents desire a future free of animal exploitation for entertainment. This bill, that has fi nally passed the House after 23 years of being fi led, embodies that sentiment, underscoring our commitment to the humane treatment of animals.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

They said the measure protects patients and independent pharmacists by regulating the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) industry; banning many of the industry’s worst business practices; and reducing or eliminating co-pays for certain chronic conditions. “Many folks in Massachusetts face cost barriers in access to the medications they are prescribed, especially for many of our most vulnerable residents who live with chronic disease,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “This bill aims to reduce the out-of-pocket cost of certain lifesaving drugs and ban certain business practices that are commonly used by PBMs to increase their own profi ts at the expense of patients.” “[The bill] would go a long way toward helping people in Massachusetts living with diabetes and other chronic conditions by reducing barriers to care, improving access to lifesaving and life-sustaining medication and reducing out-ofpocket costs for prescriptions,” said Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition Board Chair, Hunter Limbaugh. “We are encouraged by its progress and will continue to advocate for our most vulnerable neighbors by working with the Massachusetts Legislature all the way to the governor’s desk.” BEACON | SEE PAGE 18 RESNEK | SEE PAGE МС DIRESNEK| FROM PAGE МС BEACON | FROM PAGE МС LORETO | FROM PAGE МС ׉ 7cassandra://TbsBfnwS00pteihpFFNnDFzukZmZsirtxnQIPDFDPtk#`̰fܴ?6׉E9THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 2, 2024 Page 17 OBITUARIES Grace Ippolito O f Revere.

Is this legit or is it a scam? Suspicious Susan Dear Susan, The Social Security Administration did indeed send out a legitimate email last month to notify recipients that they are making changes to the way you access Social Security’s online services, including your personal “my Social Security” account. The changes will simplify your sign-in experience and align with federal authentication standards, while at the same time provide you safe and secure access to your account and other online services. If you created an online my Social Security account before September 18, 2021, you’ll need to shift to a Login.gov account to be able to continue to access your account. Online my Social Security accounts enable both benefi ciaries and people who are not yet receiving benefi ts to access services, including requesting Social Security card replacements, estimating future benefi ts, checking on the status of benefi t applications and managing current benefi ts. The online services aim to save time for both current and future benefi ciaries, as well as the Social Security Administration, as the agency grapples with long wait times for its national 800 phone number. The average speed to answer those calls was about 36 minutes in the second quarter, according to the SSA. The agency is working to bring that average wait time down to 12 minutes by the end of September 2025. Update Your Account If you already have a my Social Security account, go to ssa.gov/myaccount and sign in with your Social Security username. You’ll then be guided through the process of creating a new account with Login.gov. Once you successfully link your personal my Social Security account with your new Login. gov account, you’ll get a confirmation screen and have immediate access to online services. In the future, you’ll sign into your account with Login.gov and not your Social Security username. If you already have either a Login.gov or ID.me account, you do not have to take any action. Beware of Scams To be sure you’re taking the appropriate steps to update your account, it is important to verify any websites or links leading you to the Social Security website. Legitimate Social Security Administration website link is www.ssa.gov and the agency link to my Social Security account is www.ssa. gov/myaccount. It’s very important to be mindful of potential scam artists who may send you fraudulent websites pretending to direct you to Social Security. These sites will closely mimic the format of the agency’s links to try to lure you into entering your personal information. If you see a suspicious email or link, it is best not to respond or click on it. Instead, you can report it to the website of the SSA’s Offi ce of the Inspector General or call the fraud hotline at 800-269-0271. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes LONG TERM CARE AND ASSISTED LIVING (S 2889) Senate 39-0, approved a bill making changes to the state’s long term care and assisted living industry which supporters said will take “a powerful step towards delivering the high quality and safe care that Massachusetts seniors deserve by substantially strengthening oversight and enforcement while also requiring facilities to create outbreak plans should a health issue arise.” Provisions include 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; requiring long-term care facilities to produce infection outbreak response plans; requiring the Department of Public Health (DPH) to inspect facilities every nine to 15 months and authorizing it to restrict or revoke licenses when facilities are failing to provide adequate care or not complying with regulations; allowing for a temporary manager to be appointed to bring fl oundering facilities into compliance; raising penalties that the attorney general can impose for the abuse and neglect of patients; and creating an LGBTQ+ bill of rights for aging residents to prohibit discrimination based on their LGBTQ+ identity or HIV status. “Today the Senate took an important step forward to ensure that our aging residents have safe, equitable and high quality care,” said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “It is far too common—and unacceptable—for residents in assisted living facilities to receive subpar care. By boosting transparency and accountability, the Senate is continuing to create a compassionate commonwealth where all residents can age with dignity.” Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville), Senate Chair of the Committee on Elder Aff airs, said the bill will improve care and stability in nursing homes and assisted living residences. “The pandemic revealed starkly the lack of nursing home preparedness for the spread of fatal diseases,” said Jehlen. “Many of us knew someone or relatives of someone who passed during that disaster.” “Even homes with consistently high ratings lost many residents,” continued Jehlen. “This bill off ers measures to address issues in nursing homes and assisted living facilities; issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community when looking for care; bariatric care; and pooled trusts. It also ensures facilities that are not compliant with safe standards face consequences and vs. Complex trust A Simple trust ll Trusts for tax purposes are classifi ed into two basic types of Trusts: simple or complex. To determine which type of trust you are dealing with, you must read the terms of the Trust instrument itself. With a simple Trust, the Trustee is required to distribute the income generated by the Trust to the income benefi ciary until some predetermined time period has passed. With a complex Trust, the Trustee is not required to distribute the income generated by the Trust to the income beneficiary. The Trustee has discretion to distribute income. A simple Trust cannot make distributions to charitable organizations. A complex trust can make distributions to charitable organizations. Capital gains are generally considered to be a part of the principal (or corpus) of the Trust and therefore are not distributed to the income benefi ciary of a simple Trust. With a simple Trust, the income beneficiary will be taxed on trust ordinary income such as interest income and dividend income, whether or not it is actually distributed to the income benefi ciary. With a complex Trust, the Trustee has discretion to distribute income to specifi c benefi ciaries pursuant to the terms of the Trust itself. If the income of a complex Trust is not distributed, the Trust itself will pay the tax. If the income is distributed, then the benefi ciary receiving the income will report the income on his or her tax return upon the receipt of a Schedule K-1 form from the Trustee. The benefi ciary will pay the tax on his or her individual income tax return. Income tax rates for complex trusts are signifi cantly higher than for individuals. From a tax standpoint, it often makes sense to distribute income out to the benefi ciaries in order to save substantial tax dollars. For Calendar year 2024, a non-grantor Trust’s income is in the 24% federal tax bracket once taxable income reaches $3,100. It reaches the highest 37% federal tax bracket once taxable income reaches $15,200. In contrast, a single individual does not hit the 37% tax bracket until his or her taxable income reaches $609,350. He or she will only be in a 12% federal tax bracket when taxable income is between $11,600 and $47,150. A Trust will lose its classification as a simple Trust during any year in which the Trustee distributes corpus. A simple Trust is entitled to a very low exemption of $300 to off set income generated by the Trust. A Complex Trust is entitled to an even a lower exemption of $100. A Trust can never be a simple Trust in the year of termination. You must check off one of the boxes on page one of Form 1041 before fi ling a Trust income tax return in order to let the IRS know what type of Trust is involved. Joseph D.

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL HEALEY SIGNS FIREARMS CHANGES (H 4885) – Gov. Healey signed into law a bill that would change some of the state’s gun laws. Provisions include cracking down on untraceable “ghost guns;” banning fi rearms in additional public spaces like schools, polling places and government buildings; expanding the 2018 “red fl ag” law that allows school administrators and licensed BEACON | SEE PAGE 19 ׉ 7cassandra://pVNJR5ObTshKgp8fswPS7pNQ_sUSqKBBDYIsR4uLAW4(`̰fܴ?6׉E%oTHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 2, 2024 Page 19 BEACON | FROM PAGE 18 health care providers to petition a court to temporarily take firearms away from someone deemed a threat to themselves or others; closing loopholes that allow the modification of legal firearms into illegal automatic weapons; and providing a legacy clause so all firearms legally owned and registered in Massachusetts as of the effective date of the bill will continue to be legal and may be bought and sold within the state. “Massachusetts is proud of our strong gun laws, but there is always more work to be done to keep our communities safe from violence,” said Gov. Healey. “This legislation updates our firearms laws in response to the Supreme Court’s misguided Bruen decision. It cracks down on ghost guns and 3-D printed weapons, which I have long advocated for, enhances our ability to prevent guns from falling into dangerous hands and invests in our communities to address the root causes of violence. This law will save lives.” “This legislation reflects the input of many, including law enforcement officials, community advocates, gun owners and healthcare workers,” said Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “It provides the tools needed to better protect our residents from the epidemic of gun violence and to prevent future tragedies. With support from both chambers and the governor’s signature today, Massachusetts can once again stand proudly by its record as a national leader on gun safety and more importantly, we will save countless lives.” “Massachusetts has taken a huge step forward today towards keeping our communities safer from gun violence,” said Ruth Zakarin, CEO of the MA Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence. “There is no one size fits all solution to the gun violence crisis that plagues our nation, and we appreciate the comprehensive, multifaceted approach that this bill takes towards ending this epidemic.” RE-ENTRY INTO SOCIETY FOR JAILED PRISONERS (S 2883) – The Senate approved and sent to the House a bill that would provide a Massachusetts identification card to incarcerated individuals who will soon be released from prison and will be re-entering society. Supporters said the proposal codifies the Healey administration’s efforts to provide identification to citizens returning to society. They noted that many people returning to society will do so without any means of proving who they are, which presents a significant challenge when accessing government assistance programs that help people secure housing, food, employment and various other basic needs. They argued that denying individuals this support is setting them up for failure and making it more likely that they will recidivate. “I am proud to be the lead sponsor of this bill that will give returning citizens access to the services and support they need to move on to the next chapter of their lives and succeed in our state,” said Sen. Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett). “When an individual leaves incarceration, they deserve the chance to provide for themselves and their families without any obstacles in front of them. I am committed to getting this commonsense policy over the finish line to ensure we give every Massachusetts resident the opportunity to thrive.” DNA AND STATUTE OR LIMITATIONS (H 4836) – The House gave initial approval to a bill that would amend the law to allow prosecutors to bring rape charges at any time if the perpetrator is identified through DNA evidence collected from a victim. Currently, the 15-year statute of limitations is a barrier to prosecution of serial offenders, as more than 15 years may elapse before a perpetrator is identified through DNA evidence. “By eliminating the statute of limitations when DNA evidence is matched to a perpetrator, this bill will enable more successful prosecution of sexual predators,” said co-sponsor Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury). “I cofiled this bill … because every survivor of sexual violence deserves justice, and removing this barrier to prosecution will help get dangerous predators off the streets.” “No arbitrary time limit should stand in the way of survivors getting justice for horrific crimes they endure or prevent prosecutors and law enforcement from getting dangerous predators off the streets,” said co-sponsor Rep. Adam Scanlon (D-North Attleborough). “[This] is an important step toward removing that obstacle that currently stands in the way of justice for so many survivors, and I will keep fighting for them until this bill is law.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Expanding our forest canopy is one piece of the larger puzzle to combatting climate change in Massachusetts.
