Mr. Costa was the runner up in the last election for the Ward 3 City Council seat, and last March he become vocal in calling for the resignation of former City Councillor Anthony DiPierro. Calling himself an “anti-prejudice” person, Costa has proven that his platform was nothing but political malarkey. Monday night, Costa had an opportunity to put his money where his mouth is and vote for Ward Councillor Stephanie Martins for City Council President. This would have been an opportunity for the new councillor to prove himself to be true to his words and elevate a woman of color to a position of power. Instead, Costa fell right in line and voted for a bigot, Mike Marchese, to lead the City Council. Marchese, along with his brother, Joseph, have openly shared racist, transphobic, xenophobic and sexist memes on their social media accounts.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call concludes its series on highlighting bills that were approved by the Legislature in 2022 on roll call votes and signed into law by Gov. Charlie Baker. ALLOW AMBULANCES TO BE USED FOR INJURED POLICE DOGS – NERO’S LAW(S 2573) Senate 38-0, (House on a voice vote without a roll call), approved and Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law legislation that would require EMS personnel to provide emergency treatment to a police dog and use an ambulance to transport the dog injured in the line of duty to a veterinary clinic or veterinary hospital if there are not people requiring emergency medical treatment or transport at that time. Sponsor Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford) fi rst fi led the bill in 2019 following the tragic death of Yarmouth Police Sgt. Sean Gannon who was shot and killed in the line of duty. His K-9 partner Nero was severely injured and had to be rushed to the animal hospital in the back of a police cruiser. Nero survived. Montigny also cites the heartbreaking loss of the beloved K-9 Kitt of the Braintree Police Department. “K-9 offi cers protect the men and women in law enforcement as well as the community at-large,” said Montigny. “These animals endure extreme danger from gun violence, narcotics and even explosive materials. Allowing our emergency personnel to provide basic treatment and transport is a commonsense measure that honors their contributions across the commonwealth. Sgt. Gannon was a native son of New Bedford and therefore his K-9 partner Nero is part of our community’s extended family. Words cannot describe the gratitude we have for the Gannon family for their tenacious and compassionate advocacy to get this bill done.” “With Nero’s Law, we have the opportunity to save K-9 members of law enforcement where Maximum benefit is $2,200 AUTOTECH DRIVE IT - PUSH IT - TOW IT!

ABCD’s got you covered. the opportunity to do so would not place a person at risk,” said Sen. Susan Moran (D-Falmouth). “K-9s are their offi cers’ partners, shields and scouts. Like Nero and Kitt, their job is to put themselves in danger to protect us, and despite the K-9s’ service to our commonwealth, an archaic law stood in the way of measures that could save these valued members of law enforcement. This has gone on long enough.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes MAKE ADOPTION BY FAMILY MEMBERS EASIER (S 2616) Senate 39-0, (House on a voice vote without a roll call), approved and the governor signed into law a bill that repeals a law which prohibits adoption of children by family members including older siblings, aunts and uncles. The proposal would allow these family members, with the permission of the county probate courts, to legally adopt their family members. Current law only allows these family members to apply to become a guardian. Sponsor Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem) said that this archaic law was put in place at the beginning of the last century to prevent the potential for inheritance abuse, but the commonwealth has since adopted legal protections, such as conservatorships, to prevent this from occurring. “Our families are often our largest sources of support and what a family looks like can mean different things to diff erent people,” said Lovely. “I fi led [the bill] to betBEACON | SEE PAGE 8 Lawrence A.

Agero employees purchased holiday gifts for older adults and people with disabilities, as part of their annual Giving Tree program with MVES. “The response we hear from residents is just fantastic. They’re thrilled to receive a gift selected especially for them,” said MVES Development Director Jenny Vanasse. “At this time of year, it’s important that everyone feels part of the community, and we’re so thankful to Agero for helping us spread holiday cheer.” Every year, case managers nominate a resident served by MVES who they felt would benefit from a certain item or simply receiving something special around the holidays. Since case managers know the residents well, they create a “wish list” of items the individual would like and use. It might be a favorite type of candy or a sweatshirt with their favorite sports team – each wish list is unique to that person. Employees of Agero then “adopt” and shop for these residents, collecting items on the list and fulfilling their holiday wishes. Next, MVES care managers MVES Health Services Care Manager Chhavan Pin Oeur posed with Chuck Ferrera after dropping off Chuck’s gift from Agero. play Santa, delivering the beautifully wrapped Agero gifts to residents throughout the MVES communities.

In addition to collaborating on the Giving Tree since 2013, the company has supported many MVES programs since 2007. MVES is a nonprofit organization that provides homeand community-based care and resources to older adults, people with disabilities and caregivers.

The monitoring eff orts will provide data and information to increase community awareness, inform decision-making around transportation infrastructure and reduce exposures to harmful transportation-related particulate air pollutants, including PM10, PM2.5 and ultra-fine particles. MyRWA chose to work with the communities of Charlestown, East Boston, Everett and Malden as they are among the most burdened by transportation-related air pollution and disease in Massachusetts and have limited data on air quality in the community. This work will be guided by a 12-member Community Advisory Board (CAB) and include extensive surveying and outreach to build capacity among residents who have been disproportionately impacted by poor air quality. “Our organization uses a network of volunteer scientists to track environmental conditions, develop actionAerial Dam able data, and work with community partners toward clean water, restored habitat, and a healthy environment for people,” said MyRWA Executive Director Patrick Herron. “We are excited to continue this long tradition of engaging our communities to understand environmental pollutants, identifying the solutions to these environmental challenges and helping protect public health with this latest eff ort.” The design of the air quality monitoring studies will be led by Dr. Neelakshi Hudda of Tufts University. The team will deploy a network of stationary monitors to measure PM2.5 and PM10 in all four communities this spring. Additionally, within each community, mobile monitoring will be conducted at up to seven locations (all seven with PM2.5 and PM10 monitors and three of seven with ultrafi ne particle number concentration measurements) that are selected by the community through extensive engagement. The results of the monitoring will be shared with communities to identify potential interventions. Beyond Tufts University, AIR Inc., STEP, Cambridge Health Alliance, the City of Malden and the City of Everett will partner in this work. About the Mystic River Watershed Association MyRWA works to improve the lives of the more than 600,000 residents of Mystic River watershed communities through its efforts to protect and restore water quality, natural habitat and open space throughout the 76-squaremile watershed. The Mystic River watershed is in 21 communities: Arlington, Belmont, Boston (Charlestown & East Boston), Burlington, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Lexington, Malden, Medford, Melrose, Reading, Revere, Somerville, Stoneham, Wakefi eld, Watertown, Wilmington, Winchester, Winthrop, Woburn.

Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ACCESS TO BIRTH CERTIFICATES (S 2294) Senate 40-0, (House on a voice vote without a roll call), approved and Gov. Baker signed legislation giving equal access to original birth certificates to all persons born in Massachusetts. Under prior law, adoptees born between 1974 and 2008 were unable to obtain original birth certificates without a court order that also unseals their record. The measure closes this gap and allows adopted individuals over the age of 18 or the adoptive parents of a child under 18 to access the adoptee’s original birth certificate without the unsealing of the information. “The Joint Committee on Public Health heard powerful testimony from adoptees who could not access their original birth certificate due to a current loophole in state law addressed by this legislation,” said Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton), Senate Chair of the Committee on Public Health. “The Senate took a major step in assuring equality by guaranteeing that all adoptees, regardless of when they were born, will have access to their original birth certificate,” said Sen. Anne Gobi (D-Spencer), sponsor of the bill. She noted that she has waited six years for its passage and that so many have waited their entire lives. “We tell them the wait is over and they matter,” said Gobi. “Many adoptees have been waiting their whole lives to learn their history, and I am honored to have played a part in helping them access their original birth certificates,” said Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem). “For the sake of preserving our health and well-being, it is crucial to know what physical or mental health conditions to which we may be predisposed. By giving all adoptees born in Massachusetts access to their original birth certificates, this legislation closes a 34-year gap granting generations of individuals medical knowledge they have otherwise been denied.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE (S 3097) Senate 39-0, (House on a voice vote without a roll call), approved and Gov. Bakersigned into law a bill designed to make mental health care more accessible in the Bay State. Provisions include mandating coverage for an annual mental health wellness exam, comparable to an annual physical; a public awareness campaign on the state’s red flag laws that limit access to guns for people at risk of hurting themselves or others; implementation of the nationwide 988 hotline to access 24/7 suicide prevention and behavioral health crisis services; mandating coverage and eliminating prior authorization for mental health acute treatment and stabilization services for adults and children; establishing an Office of Behavioral Health Promotion to coordinate all state initiatives that promote mental, emotional and behavioral health and wellness for residents; and creating an interim licensure level for licensed mental health counselors so that they can be reimbursed by insurance for their services and be eligible for state and federal grant and loan forgiveness programs. “The Massachusetts Legislature took vital strides toward transforming mental health care in Massachusetts,” said Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro), Senate chair of the Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery. “By unanimously passing the Mental Health ABC Act, we affirm that mental health is just as essential as physical health and take a leap forward to ensure that all people in Massachusetts can access the mental health care they need and deserve.” “Too many people in communities across the commonwealth struggle to get the mental, emotional and behavioral health care they deserve,” said Rep. Adrian Madaro (D-Boston), House Chair of the Joint Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery. “This legislation helps reduce barriers to resources, support, and treatment residents need for their overall wellbeing. It enables enforcement of existing parity laws, enhances emergency response services and acute psychiatric care, develops programs to strengthen the workforce and invests in mental health.

This legislation is the fi rst step in addressing the structural defi cits in our mental health care delivery system by prioritizing the people it serves and the people who make it work.” “The health care system in Massachusetts is only as strong as its weakest link, and for far too long, mental health care has been overlooked and underfunded,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), Senate Chair of theCommittee on Health Care Financing. “This legislation confronts this reality with the most comprehensive mental health care legislation the commonwealth has seen in recent years, and it builds off of the historic investments we made in this care system over this past two-year legislative session. Of particular importance to me, this bill will fi nally provide the state the tools it needs to enforce existing mental health parity laws and it will address the emergency department boarding crisis that’s impacting too many of our children and their families. I have long believed that Massachusetts should deliver affordable, high quality, and accessible care to its residents, and this includes mental health care.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL PAY HIKES FOR LEGISLATORS, MAURA HEALEY AND OTHERS – The governor, lt. governor, treasurer, secretary of state, attorney general, auditor, 40 senators and 160 representatives will all receive pay raises when they assume offi ce on January 3, 2023. Here’s how it all went down last week: Outgoing Gov. Charlie Baker announced that the 200 members of the Legislature will receive a 4.42 percent pay hike for the 20232024 legislative session that begins January 3, 2023. The hike will increase the base salary of each senator and representative by $3,117 per year— from the current $70,537 to $73,654. The total cost of the hike for all 200 legislators is $623,400 per year. Baker is required under the state constitution to determine the amount of a pay raise or cut that state legislators would receive for the 2023-2024 session. All Massachusetts governors are obligated to increase or decrease legislative salaries biennially under the terms of a constitutional amendment approved by the voters in 1998. The amendment, approved by a better than twoto-one margin, requires legislative salaries to be “increased or decreased at the same rate as increases or decreases in the median household income for the commonwealth for the preceding two-year period, as ascertained by the governor.” Looking back, legislators’ salaries were increased by $4,280 per year for the 2021-2022 legislative session, $3,709 per year for the 2019-2020 legislative session and $2,525 per year for the 20172018 session. Those hikes came on the heels of a salary freeze for the 2015-2016 legislative session, a $1,100 pay cut for the 20132014 session and a $306 pay cut for the 2011-2012 session. Prior to 2011, legislators’ salaries had been raised every two years since the pre-constitutional amendment base pay of $46,410 in 1998. The new $73,654 salary means the 1998 legislative salary of $46,410 has been raised $27,244 or 58.7 percent. In the meantime, a second pay hike for close to 70 percent of the state’s 200 legislators also takes eff ect January 3. Currently an estimated 139, or almost 70 percent, of the state’s 200 legislators receive a stipend for their service in Democratic or Republican leadership positions, as committee chairs or vice chairs and as the ranking Republican on some committees. All 40 senators and 99 of the 160 representatives receive this bonus pay which currently ranges from $17,039 to $90,876. Legislation approved by the Legislature in 2017 requires that every two years the stipends of these 139 legislators be increased or decreased based on data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) that measures the quarterly change in salaries and wages. That formula will raise the stipend in 2023 for all of these 139 legislators. The biggest hike goes to House Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka’s whose salaries will rise from $178,473 to more than $214,000. And there’s more. The 2017 law also requires that every two years the salaries of the governor and the other fi ve constitutional statewide officers be increased or decreased based on the same data from the BEA. Incoming Gov. Healey’s salary will increase by $37,185 above Baker’s current $185,000 salary for a total of $222,185. Healey also will receive the governor’s standard $65,000 housing allowance bringing her total annual compensation $287,185 in 2023. Incoming Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll’s pay will increase by $33.165-- from $165,000 to $198,165 under the 2017 law. Supporters defend the hikes noting that voters themselves in 1998 approved the adjustment for all future legislators every two years and that two independent commissions had recommended many of the other hikes in 2017. They say that pay raises of any type are always the subject of disagreement. They note it is important to pay government offi - cials a salary adequate enough to enable a family breadwinner or a professional to run for the offi ce and serve. Critics of the hikes were quick to respond. “It appears the fi rst act the Legislature and Statehouse leaders are set to take after the narrow passage of Question 1 is to accept a 20 percent pay raise,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “Voters were told the 80 percent income tax hike in Question 1 would go to education and transportation needs but Statehouse leaders are taking care of themselves before anyone else with their largest pay raise since 2017. Question 1 is set to raise taxes … and for many small business owners, retirees, home sales and high-income earners, they will be shocked to see their taxes go up by 80 percent.” 4 PERCENT INCOME TAX HIKE ON EARNINGS OVER $1 MILLION ANNUALLY TAKES EFFECT JANUARY 1 – Beginning with 2023 earnings, taxpayers who earn more than $1 million annually will pay an additional 4 percent income tax, in addition to the current fl at 5 percent one, on their earnings of more than $1 million annually. Language in this new constitutional amendment, approved as Question 1 by voters in November 2022, requires that “subject to appropriation” the revenue will go to fund quality public education, aff ordable public colleges and universities and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and public transportation. “Our coalition of community organizations, faith-based groups, and labor unions is committed to protecting the will of the people as expressed through Question 1: higher taxes on those who can most aff ord them, and greater investment in transportation and public education across the state,” said Steve Crawford, spokesman for Raise Up Massachusetts, the group that spearheaded the Vote Yes on Question 1 campaign and SNOW BLOWER SALES, SERVICE & REPAIRS Pickup/Delivery Available 1039 BROADWAY, REVERE WWW.BIKERSOUTFITTER.COM Broadway Office Space For Lease promoted the question as the Fair Share Amendment. “We will work with state leaders to ensure that the new revenue from the Fair Share Amendment is directed toward critical investments in our classrooms, campuses and transportation systems. And we will fi ght any eff orts to weaken the Fair Share Amendment by creating new tax breaks, avoidance schemes or giveaways for the ultra-rich.” “For some taxpayers, Question 1 will mean an 80 percent increase to their state income tax,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Mass Fiscal Alliance. “The taxpayers that will be impacted by this are small business owners, retirees, home sales and high-income earners.

He forewarned that he’s adherent to rules if he has to cut people off so that discussions don’t get out of hand.

Cristiano seconded that nomination, calling McLaughlin a “fierce and loyal friend.” “Last year when I was the Vice Chair, we often differed in our opinions,” Cristiano said. “However, you’ve shown that you care about the kids, wanting the very best for them.” Sarnie said they ran for Ward 6 together, adding that they respected each other and shook hands. “He loves this city,” Sarnie said. “You call upon him, and he’d be there in a second, along with Mangan.” Ward 1 School Committee member Millie Cardillo, who served in that seat in the ’90s, said they haven’t always agreed, but they were able to work it out. “I’m proud that Shown from left to right: Vice Chair Michael McLaughlin, Superintendent of Schools/committee secretary Priya Tahiliani and outgoing Chair Jeanne Cristiano during Tuesday’s School Committee meeting at Everett High School. you want to stay on for a second term,” Cardillo said. “We have agreed to disagree.” In his reelection speech as Vice Chair, McLaughlin said he’s truly honored to continue in this role.

Massachusetts is on the verge of returning to the days of Taxachusetts unless these broad tax cuts are adopted and they must be done so very quickly because the negative impacts associated from Question 1 will not wait.” REVENGE PORN (S 3167) - Senate approved a proposal that would prohibit the posting of sexually explicit images of another person online without their permission—commonly referred to as “revenge porn.” The practice is often used by ex-spouses or ex-partners. Massachusetts is one of only two states that does not have a law about this crime. Another provision changes current law under which minors, under 18 years of age, who share explicit images of themselves or other minors can be charged with violating Massachusetts child pornography laws and are required to register with the Sex Offender Registry. The bill allows minors to be diverted to an educational program that would provide them with information about the consequences of posting or transmitting indecent visual depictions of minors. Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton), the Senate chair of the Judiciary Committee, said the bill addresses the highly charged subjects of juvenile sexting and revenge porn. “I’m pleased that the Senate is taking action on a unified bill this week,” said Eldridge. “I commend the victims for their passionate advocacy and applaud their courage in coming forward to tell their stories.” “Under current law, when faced with an incident of sexting among teenagers, the police are forced with either charging them with a felony or doing nothing,” said sponsor Rep. Jeff Roy (D-Franklin). “The bill … provides law enforcement officers with a middle ground that will allow them to educate kids about the consequences of their actions without ruining their lives. It will have a tremendous impact on people who have become entangled in the web and transmittal of images that can cause traumatic and lifetime harm through a diversion program that will educate them about the legal and personal consequences of ‘sexting.’” The House approved a different version of the measure in May. The Senate version now goes to the House for consideration. THEFT OF CATALYTIC CONVERTERS (S 3169) – The House approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would create a “chain of custody” for used catalytic converter sales. A catalytic converter is a device that converts the environmentally hazardous exhaust emitted by a vehicle’s engine into less harmful gasses. The measure requires the buyer to keep records of each converter purchased, from which vehicle it was removed from and who the seller was. These records would be made available upon request to law enforcement. Supporters explained that several communities have seen a rise in catalytic converter thefts because the converters use platinum, palladium or rhodium to operate. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, the values of these precious metals contained inside catalytic converters have skyrocketed and is staggering. As of March 2022, rhodium is valued at $20,000 per ounce; palladium at $2,938 per ounce; and platinum at $1,128 per ounce. For thieves, this means a catalytic converter might be a better score than the average wedding band or gold watch. “Many scrapyards and black-market buyers have an open call out for catalytic converters, which they turn around and sell to metal recyclers,” says the Cavallo and Signoriello Insurance Agency in Massachusetts. “Ten years ago, a thief could earn between $20 and $200 per stolen converter. Today, thanks to the spike in the value of these metals, that range is more like $300 to $850, for just a few minutes of work.” “Catalytic theft is an epidemic,” said House sponsor Rep. Steve Howitt (R-Seekonk). “It is not only very costly to the vehicle owner, if they do not have comprehensive insurance, it creates an inconvenience to have repairs done. This bill would try to tighten up the market in Massachusetts for these thieves to pawn their stolen goods.” The House approved a different version of the measure in October. The Senate version now goes to the House for consideration.

In addition, the minimum wage for tipped workers will increase from $6.15 per hour to $6.75 per hour—provided that their tips bring them up to at least $15 per hour.

Story & Photos by Ron Colman T he City of Everett recently hosted the first annual Kwanzaa Celebration at the Connolly Center. To conclude the City of Everett’s celebration of the holiday season and as part of Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s “Everett For Everyone” initiative, community members and elected officials joined together to celebrate Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa is the seven-day festival observed from December 26 to January 1 as a celebration of African cultural heritage and values. Each day consists of lighting the kinara where each candle represents a different principle to discuss with others. The seven principles of Kwanzaa are Umoja – Unity, Kujichagulia – Self-determination, Ujima – Collective work and responsibility, Ujamaa – Cooperative economics, Nia – Purpose, Kuumba – Creativity, and Imani – Faith. The holiday culminates in a large feast called Karamu where participants decorate the table with ears of corn and seasonal fruits and drink from the unity cup to honor their ancestors. The City of Everett’s Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion kicked off the evening by welcoming all who attended, introduced the performers and shared one of her poems later in the event. Attendees were treated to many talented performers throughout the event. Vocalist Janey David was first to perform with the singing of the Black National Anthem. Uprising Dance Theatre performed the African Drum Call and continued playing music and danced throughout the ceremony. De Ama Battle from the Art of Black Dance & Music gave attendees the history of Kwanzaa. Big Redd’s House treated the audience to jazz music. Aashka Dance Company stunned the crowd with their fantastic choreography. The ceremony culminated in lighting the kinara and libations led by Dorothy Gomez and Uprising Dance Theatre. Gomez lit each of the seven candles while each principle was observed. After the ceremony, all who attended were welcome to enjoy a delicious meal complete with delicious offerings like soup joumou. Mayor DeMaria would like to thank all the attendees, performers and those who put together the celebration for the community. ׉ 7cassandra://PC520SGqJgwwy0-NqBC4CFxe997mahQoUU2CONlvd1U.g`̰cH,\OcH,\N PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://0AHLC0hHqnoEyi7mE4srw4mxctR864CEDtxaXo_YXoI`)׉ 7cassandra://ekJ0UwBuP__BK8rOzitHcYUGlsBCUypzOLI9VZpQUUI͛`J׉ 7cassandra://J7OAVzuznnix1DyXmRE_m309pMEPxhGnPIVWYrdndT02w`̰׉ 7cassandra://I0EMh33ddoJ4bCiLfCr6eRMsv1DP9rqGRIkGlqiP2xEZ :͠cH,\ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://w2f1Etyjjycs2VsozghyruUyQkRUS2vDQjOUIrmsb-k-`)׉ 7cassandra://h7yu9Mx1zxbzOjvBx_cFGP8xx7UR7qyg6v5RIzNsGZE͓`J׉ 7cassandra://VWi43f019FHFvMrT6YEGOJi3yNY0ZTyNCBnCR6Ig7LE.i`̰׉ 7cassandra://YLLfkk3oD5GJURkNkOMwjVkZMDhJqcPT0Oh1VIm1g_w ͠cH,\׉EmPage 14 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 6, 2023 REEM Co-Op Hockey Team Fall to Somerville, 4-1 REEM hockey team looks onto the ice during their game with Somerville Wednesday.

The Crimson Tide ended up losing to host Somerville Wednesday night (Jan. 4), 4-1. It was the type of game that coach Craig Richards and his players would soon rather forget, and turn that proverbial page to the next game on Saturday afternoon versus nonleague host East Bridgewater, starting at 5:30 p.m. They will then return home to the Veterans Rink on Elm Street to take on Timberlane Regional, another non-league foe, two days later on Jan. 9, beginning at 4 p.m. “We got outplayed, outhustled and outworked,” said Richards bluntly after the Somerville debacle. “There are no bright spots tonight.” Jake Simpson of Malden was credited with the team’s lone lamplighter assisted by Everett’s David Saia.

Coach Stanley Chamblain’s squad have since practiced on its defensive skills, and as a result they blew away visiting Chelsea in the home opener Tuesday night (Jan. 3), 72-30. “After the winter tournament, the focus was on defense,” said Chamblain. “Our lack of assertiveness, confidence and playing at a high level of aggressiveness helped us lose those games last week. But we dug-in against Chelsea to get those back. “Right now, it’s all about the building blocks, and to reset the foundation over the long haul,” added Chamblain. The Tide led at halftime, 3611. The rout was on, which allowed the veteran coach to empty his bench to give the younger members on the roster some valuable varsity experience in the second half. Senior Steven Cordero paced the offensive attack against the Red Devils with 23 points. “(Cordero) played a good two-way game against BASKETBALL | SEE PAGE 16 Tide’s Steven Cordero, who led the team with 23 points against Chelsea, shown in action against BC High recently.

Josh Cutler (D-Duxbury), House chair of the Labor and Workforce Development Committee. “It is welcome news for many workers, though clearly more help is needed to support hardworking families struggling with rising costs.” “With high inflation, worker shortages and supply chain disruptions, the upcoming minimum wage increase is just the latest challenge for Massachusetts small business owners,” said Christopher Carlozzi, the Massachusetts state director of the National Federation of Independent Business. “With the cost of labor rising, the price tag of products and services will also rise, and those costs will likely be passed to consumers. Main Street and consumers need relief but unfortunately this wage hike will only create more uncertainty.” “It’s time for a truly universal minimum wage that keeps up with rising costs and supports working families,” said Chrissy Lynch, Chief of Staff of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO. “Our coalition of community organizations, faithbased groups and labor unions is looking at how to get us closer to that goal. And we won’t stop until working people across the state have true living wages.” “While it’s important to help those who are most vulnerable, an increase to the state minimum wage rate actually does the opposite,” said Paul Craney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “Massachusetts will have the highest minimum wage rate of all the states in New England.

Because such claims arise and are enforced under Massachusetts law by the state’s Division of Medical Assistance, state law and administrative practices are of much concern to the general public and to elder law attorneys. The Massachusetts statute specifi es that the state shall recover all MassHealth (Medicaid) benefi ts paid on a recipient’s behalf where the recipient was age 55 or over as of the time of receipt and the services were provided after October 1, 1993. Federal law mandates such recovery as the federal government reimburses the Commonwealth of Massachusetts approximately 50 cents for every dollar expended for such benefi ts. Massachusetts will recoup all MassHealth benefits paid on the recipient’s behalf, regardless of the service for which it was paid and regardless of whether the recipient lived in the community or was institutionalized in a long-term care facility. It is irrelevant whether the payments were for nursing home care, prescription drugs, hospitalization for a particular illness, a Medicare co-payment for an indigent elder picked up by MassHealth or visiting nurse services to keep the elder at home. Since 1989, the general rule in Massachusetts has been that a creditor of the estate must bring his or her claim by filing suit within one year of the decedent’s death, or the claim is barred. Even after the year has passed, however, the Division of Medical Assistance (DMA) can still protect its claim by fi ling it within four months of the fi duciary’s appointment. In short, the crucial deadline for Medicaid claims is the later of one year from the date of death or four months from the fiduciary’s appointment. The DMA would bring suit against the estate’s executor or administrator in a court of competent jurisdiction. The DMA’s chosen forum is the Boston Municipal Court. Previous proposed legislation by the Romney administration had sought to expand estate recovery to include assets beyond the decedent’s probate estate. The law has been that only assets that were in the MassHealth recipient’s name at the time of his or her death were subject to estate recovery (i.e. the recipient’s probate estives and friends are invited to attend an hour of visitation in the Bisbee-Porcella Funeral Home, 549 Lincoln Ave., Saugus on Tuesday, January 10th from 10 – 11 a.m. followed by a funeral service in the funeral home at 11 a.m. Interment in Woodlawn Cemetery in Everett.

The Romney administration attempted to expand estate recovery to include virtually all property interests possessed by the MassHealth recipient at the time of his or her death such as life insurance, life estates, jointly owned property, living trusts, tenants by the entirety, IRA’s, 401(k)’s, etc. Those attempted expanded recovery rules were slated to take eff ect on January 1, 2004. Subsequently, the state legislature delayed implementation until July 1 of that year as a result of heightened pressure from many elder lobbyist groups, the Mass Chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and the elderly population itself. Then, our state legislature went a step further by repealing the expanded estate recovery provisions altogether. Expanded estate recovery is not law today in Massachusetts. It is still very important to keep in mind that you should try to avoid probate if at all possible. Even an untimely death at a younger age might lead to a massive estate recovery claim against your probate estate if you had been receiving MassHealth benefi ts after having reached 55 years of age. At the present time, expanded estate recovery is not on the horizon. That’s a good thing insofar as asset protection is concerned. Nonetheless, dying with a probate estate might result in much more than the cost of probate itself. It could very well result in an obligation for the Personal Representative of the estate to repay a very large lien assessed by the Estate Recovery Unit. Joseph D.

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 latenight 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 December 26-30, the House met for a total of 11 hours and 22 minutes and the Senate met for a total of seven hours and 53 minutes. MON.
