Connolly Center (90 Chelsea St.). Those who attend will be able to view potential design plans and learn more about the potential stadium project in a presentation by representatives of the New England Revolution. Additionally, those who attend will have the opportunity to share with Mayor DeMaria and his team what community benefi ts they would like to see in the community benefits agreement from the potential stadium project. “I’d like everyone who attends this meeting to assume that this project is definitely happening for the purpose of gathering as much feedback as we can about what our community would like to see in a community benefi ts agreement for this potential development,” said Mayor DeMaria. “This is just the beginning of what will be a vast public discussion, and we look forward to continuing to work with the Kraft Group to ensure this project is benefi cial to the Everett community.” Following the first official meeting between the City of Everett and The Kraft Group, it was determined that the May 1 deadline to negotiate a community benefits agreement was unattainable and that a mediator would assist in the process. Comments shared by attendees of this meeting may be considered as part of that negotiation.

This Master Plan seeks approval for a variety of uses on multiple parcels of land within the Everett Docklands Innovation District totaling 106.21-acres of land. Totaling approximately 5.04-million square feet of development, the Master Plan anticipates a mix of uses including, but not limited to, residential, manufacturing, industrial, lab/office, and research & development. Supporting these new uses are over 10,000 linear feet of new roads and infrastructure and over 15-acres of open space and public parks. The Master Plan area encompasses parcels referenced by Assessors Department as H0-01-000130, H0-05-00162A, H0-05-00162B, H0-10-000069, and H0-11000080.

Frederick Cafasso Chairman April 18, 25, 2025 JOB FAIR ed to the rider’s Bluebikes account and will remain valid through December 31, 2025. “At Blue Cross, we’re committed to building healthier communities, and that includes supporting sustainable, accessible transportation options,” said Jeff Bellows, vice president of corporate citizenship and public aff airs at Blue Cross. “By off ering free Bluebikes credits and supporting the Environmental League of Massachusetts, we’re making it easier for more people to choose a greener way to get around while contributing to local environmental eff orts.” Biking instead of driving can signifi cantly reduce carbon emissions. According to a article published by the UCLA transportati on department, choosing a bike over a car just once a day reduces the average person’s carbon emissions from transportation by 67%, underscoring the environmental impact biking can have as compared to driving. “We’re grateful for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts’ work to encourage biking while supporting state-wide environmental advocacy,” said Miriam Posner Harris, Executive Vice President at the Environmental League of Massachusetts. “Choosing fossil fuel free transportation options improves air quality and public health, alleviates congestion, and makes meaningful climate progress. We look forward to individuals taking advantage of Blue Cross’ free credit off er and advancing a greener Massachusetts in the process.” Bluebikes is municipally owned by 13 cities and towns in eastern Massachusetts and jointly managed by the Cities of Boston, Cambridge, Everett, Somerville, and the Town of Brookline. The system is operated by Lyft and has been supported by Blue Cross as the title sponsor since May 2018.

He also said a private developer will not fund a public park, which would not yield any economic benefi ts anyway and cleanup costs would drive the price of condominiums or rents on the site beyond the aff ordability of most people. Earlier in the meeting, Hanlon was honored for his recent birthday (April 11) and years of service to the City as a Mayor and City Councillor for 50 years. “You are a person we look up to,” Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Matewsky told Hanlon. Hanlon noted he was originally from Cambridge, but after moving to Everett “I melted into the City like I was from here. That’s how I feel.” In an agenda item related to the stadium proposal, the Council is asking that a representative from The Kraft Group appear at the fi rst meeting in May to provide a presentation on the renderings and site plans.

Councillor-at-Large Katy Rogers said eff orts should be made to make it available to watch remotely. In another matter, the councillors expressed disappointment that they are often excluded from pictures released from City Hall following public events and are asking the head of the Communications Department and the Administration to appear at a meeting to discuss the Department’s resources being used exclusively for the Mayor, possibly Monday, April 28. “City resources should serve the public, not personal image management,” Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins said. “The Communications Department is publicly funded. Councillors don’t make six fi gure salaries. Councillors who take the time to go to events are excluded from pictures. If we’re at an event, our constituents should know we were there.” She also said employees of the Communications Department seem to be “working in fear there’s another elected offi cial in a picture.” “We’re taken out of pictures,” Councillor-at-Large Stephanie Smith noted. “It’s happened to me three times.” Martins also announced the Council’s response to the State lnspector General at the end of the 30-day period, and the Inspector General’s subsequent letter is available on pages 98-108 in the April 14 City Council agenda and packet. Councillor-at-Large Guerline Alcy Jabouin announced that the areas to be investigated in an audit of city departments by the State Auditor will be employee nondisclosure agreements and complaints and procurement for any contracts that were awarded and the companies putting in change orders to increase the amounts. These areas were designated to respond to directives from the State Auditor to defi ne the parameters of an audit. Rogers introduced a proposal to promote transparent marketing practices in rental housing advertisements by prohibiting the use of the word “luxury” because it is exclusionary. She reported that Assistant City Solicitor Keith Slattery told her such a measure is unenforceable. “We need to come up with an alternative,” she feels. ׉ 7cassandra://iMDkBx9B6afaF9fOzVi4HfWrummUHYWJupTzLZ4uhSI0`h:_`h:_` rבCטUru׉׉ 7cassandra://CPGN7f1RGlk1kKw6yNJWqkT0h9FRlSOb9wZ3vp27arAN`'p׉ 7cassandra://VMeklQoeCnkBHH5B_tWj4ob7SqBYF5zg-cn_-AwDpzsͬ8`׉ 7cassandra://mCdudBwN4_pOX8PPs7T8q3WJVtl2YA6vdybj_2xNYZk2`h:_`טUUru׉׉ 7cassandra://J7ekx2V2AVRLxQETtJOC67hJmt7vfsngPHDhgcdyH74ow`'p׉ 7cassandra://jBZWRLCLptxySNWTprLzPY2k9R4RgtQNQQe5MOIdP_A͑`׉ 7cassandra://cMupepQ1Jaw-k6V-Xv3gftu08gmnjqfkeVfE-Pm8kWg1`h:_`%נh:_`j9׉H`https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/americans-want-live-healthier-2025-heres-what-looks-alcohol-exerciseGׁ ׁ rנh:_`É9׉H`https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/americans-want-live-healthier-2025-heres-what-looks-alcohol-exerciseGׁ ׁ rנh:_`E9׉H`https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/americans-want-live-healthier-2025-heres-what-looks-alcohol-exerciseGׁ ׁ rנh:_`E9׉H`https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/americans-want-live-healthier-2025-heres-what-looks-alcohol-exerciseGׁ ׁ rנh:_`E M9׉H`https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/americans-want-live-healthier-2025-heres-what-looks-alcohol-exerciseGׁ ׁ rנh:_`!t9׉H9https://www.amwayglobal.com/habits-and-healthspan-survey/Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`E79׉H9https://www.amwayglobal.com/habits-and-healthspan-survey/Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`EL|9׉H9https://www.amwayglobal.com/habits-and-healthspan-survey/Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`v:9׉H1https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6435370/Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`E9׉H1https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6435370/Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`E]9׉H1https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6435370/Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`Eˁ9׉Hmhttps://www.milbank.org/publications/the-health-of-us-primary-care-2025-scorecard-report-the-cost-of-neglect/Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`E9׉Hmhttps://www.milbank.org/publications/the-health-of-us-primary-care-2025-scorecard-report-the-cost-of-neglect/Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`E9׉Hmhttps://www.milbank.org/publications/the-health-of-us-primary-care-2025-scorecard-report-the-cost-of-neglect/Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`E 9׉Hmhttps://www.milbank.org/publications/the-health-of-us-primary-care-2025-scorecard-report-the-cost-of-neglect/Gׁ ׁ rנh:_` 49׉HChttps://health.clevelandclinic.org/how-much-sunshine-you-need-dailyGׁ ׁ rנh:_`E69׉HChttps://health.clevelandclinic.org/how-much-sunshine-you-need-dailyGׁ ׁ rנh:_`EK9׉HChttps://health.clevelandclinic.org/how-much-sunshine-you-need-dailyGׁ ׁ rנh:_`ku̮9׉H(https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/59/5/333#T2Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`Eu9׉H(https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/59/5/333#T2Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`k̮9׉Hghttps://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/fitness/fitness-basics/aha-recs-for-physical-activity-in-adultsGׁ ׁ rנh:_`Eʁ9׉Hghttps://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/fitness/fitness-basics/aha-recs-for-physical-activity-in-adultsGׁ ׁ rנh:_`E9׉Hghttps://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/fitness/fitness-basics/aha-recs-for-physical-activity-in-adultsGׁ ׁ rנh:_`EI9׉Hghttps://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/fitness/fitness-basics/aha-recs-for-physical-activity-in-adultsGׁ ׁ rנh:_`E 9׉H=https://www.americashealthrankings.org/explore/measures/sleepGׁ ׁ rנh:_`E59׉H=https://www.americashealthrankings.org/explore/measures/sleepGׁ ׁ rנh:_`JX9׉Hxhttps://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/expert-answers/how-many-hours-of-sleep-are-enough/faq-20057898Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`E_9׉Hxhttps://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/expert-answers/how-many-hours-of-sleep-are-enough/faq-20057898Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`Eu9׉Hxhttps://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/expert-answers/how-many-hours-of-sleep-are-enough/faq-20057898Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`E9׉Hxhttps://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/expert-answers/how-many-hours-of-sleep-are-enough/faq-20057898Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`E̐9׉Hxhttps://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/expert-answers/how-many-hours-of-sleep-are-enough/faq-20057898Gׁ ׁ rנh:_`ʁX9׉H*https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/about/index.htmlGׁ ׁ rנh:_`E߁9׉H*https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/about/index.htmlGׁ ׁ rנh:_`39׉H:https://health.clevelandclinic.org/how-to-get-better-sleepGׁ ׁ rנh:_`E 9׉H:https://health.clevelandclinic.org/how-to-get-better-sleepGׁ ׁ rנh:_`Ey9׉H:https://health.clevelandclinic.org/how-to-get-better-sleepGׁ ׁ rנh:_`Ɂ  9ׁHhttp://www.larovere.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 14 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 18, 2025 Three steps to consider this spring to help you live a healthier lifestyle S pring into health this season by refreshing your well-beBy Dr. Ana Stankovic, Chief Medical Officer, UnitedHealthcare of New England . Yet more than 30% of ing routine and building healthier habits for the rest of the year. While many Americans make health a primary focus of their New Year’s resolutions1 recent survey respondents said they take up healthier lifestyle choices only after having a medical concern2 . As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, it’s a great time to get moving and focus on living a healthier lifestyle. There’s no better time to get started than today. Here are three steps you , 57% of may start taking right away: Choose a primary care provider and access preventive screenings. A primary care provider can help guide you on your health journey, and studies suggest that access to primary care providers may help people live longer3 American adults don’t have a primary care provider4 . One important item to check off your health care checklist each year is an annual wellness visit with a primary care provider – even if you feel healthy. A preventive care visit may help you better understand your health and detect any problems early. If you don’t currently have a primary care provider, check with your health plan for in-network doctors in your area or other options for accessing care like virtual care options. Health plans usually cover preventive care, which means you may pay $0 out of pocket for certain covered preventive services if you go to an in-network provider. You may also be eligible to earn rewards through your health plan for activities like your annual wellness visit, getting certain preventive screenings or completing a health survey. Some health plans also offer coverage for certain health screenings like those for breast cancer and colorectal cancer. Check with your health plan to understand your coverage and eligibility and talk to your employer about benefits and wellness programs that may be available to you. Walk 15 to 30 minutes each day. Getting outside during the day and enjoying the sunshine may be an important source of Vitamin D, boost your mood and help you sleep better5 . Taking regular walks, even for 15 to 30 minutes, may be a simple way to get some sun and fresh air, get your steps in and keep your body moving. In fact, a recent study found that walking more may help extend life expectancy by up to 11 years6 . Ideally, adults should aim each week for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity like a brisk walk, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity like jogging or running7 . Some employers now offer wellness programs as part of the health benefits available to their employees. Track and improve your sleep. Many people struggle with their sleeping habits, with more than one-third of adults in the U.S. reporting regularly not getting enough sleep8 . Experts rec. Mainommend adults get 7 or more hours of sleep a night9 9 5 6 taining healthy sleeping habits may be beneficial for both your physical and mental well-being, from helping to reduce stress and improve your mood to lowering risk for some chronic conditions10 . To help improve your sleep, consider avoiding alcohol, caffeine and too much screen time before going to bed, and try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day11 . Adding these tips into your daily routine may be a great way to boost your overall health and well-being this spring. 1 Ipsos, 2024, https://www. ip sos.com/e n-us/ame r - icans-wan t -liv e -he althi - er-2025-heres-what-looks-alcohol-exercise 2 Amway, 2024, https://www.amwayglobal.com/habits-andhealthspan-survey/ 3 Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2019, https:// pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/ PMC6435370/ 4 Milbank Memorial Fund, 2025, https://www.milbank.org/publications/the-health-of-us-primary-care-2025-scorecard-reportthe-cost-of-neglect/ Cleveland Clinic, 2025, https:// health.clevelandclinic.org/howmuch-sunshine-you-need-daily British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2024, https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/59/5/333#T2 7 American Heart Association, 2024, https://www.heart.org/en/ healthy-living/fitness/fitness-basics/aha-recs-for-physical-activity-in-adults 8 America’s Health Rankings, 2024, https://www.americashealthrankings.org/explore/measures/sleep Mayo Clinic, 2025, https://www. mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/ adult-health/expert-answers/ how-many-hours-of-sleep-areenough/faq-20057898 10 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2024, https://www. cdc.gov/sleep/about/index.html 11 Cleveland Clinic, 2025, https:// health.clevelandclinic.org/howto-get-better-sleep ׉ 7cassandra://mCdudBwN4_pOX8PPs7T8q3WJVtl2YA6vdybj_2xNYZk2`h:_`A׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 18, 2025 Page 15 Happy Easter and Passover Mayor Carlo DeMaria & Family & The Everett City Government State Wife Stacy, Carlo III, Caroline & Alexandra Ward 3 Representative Joe McGonagle City Councillor & Family Anthony DiPierro F.J.

Second-year varsity coach A Malik Love has turned the program around quickly. It now features a good stable of veteran talent with a resurgence of young players among the underclassmen, which bodes well for not just this year, but also the foreseeable future. Love literally brought the program into the 21st century this year by implementing the Hudl video service that shows his players what they are doing right and wrong during each game, while also giving them the opportunity to upload clips of themselves for potential college coaches to view for scouting purposes. “There’s a lot of (athletic) talent here in Everett, and it’s not just in football,” said Love. “Hudl now gives our baseball players a chance to showcase their talents for college coaches down the road, while also learning what they are doing wrong in the present.” The Tide opened up last week by losing a heartbreaker to Lynn Classical at Lynn’s Fraser Field, 1-0 on April 8. But then, they won their next two games against host Chelsea (14-1, April 10) and Charlestown (13-6) in the home opener last Friday afternoon. They began this week with a 11-1 loss to Lynn English on Monday night back at Fraser Field. Lynn Classical pushed the winning run across the plate in the home half of the second to beat its Everett visitors during this classic pitchers’ duel last week. Derek Soper gave up two hits, four walks and one earned run over five innings. He fanned six. Tri-captain Nordeivy Santana came in to pitch the sixth inning, issuing one hit and two walks, while striking out one. Unfortunately, the Everett offense was shutdown on only two hits. Freshman M.J. Guida and Isaiah Goffigan supplied that offense with one single apiece. “This game against Lynn Classical shows our improvement as a team,” said Love. “We definitely have better chemistry and more confidence this year. “But we still have to do the small things better,” added Love. “We have to play situational baseball by bunting more often during strategic times of a game, and getting runners into scoring positions to create more runs with sacrifice flies.” In the makeup game against the Red Devils last Thursday at Chelsea’s Carter Park, the Everett boys scored in four of the five innings, before the game was called, because of the mercy rule. The visitors scored four runs in the first, third and fifth innings, and another two in the second during this rout, while banging out half as many hits. Nordeivy Santana (single, triple) and Guida (single, double) were the big hitters in this game with two hits apiece. They each knocked in a run. Tri-captain Jevaun Berdale against non-league Charlestown was another offensive show for Everett. They scored three times in the first and six more in the third to take a rather comfortable 9-2 lead early on in the game. The offense was simply on fire, banging out 11 hits over six innings. Freni was credited with three singles and a walk, and scored twice. Guida also singled three times to go along with a walk. He too scored twice, while knocking in one. Soper had two singles and two walks. He scored and drove in a run, as well. Reinaldo Santiago came through with two singles and three RBI, and scored once. Tri-captain Albert Santana singled in two runs, and crossed the plate one time. Nordeivy Santana (1 RBI), Berberena (2 RBI) and Goffigan (1 RBI) factored into the offense, as well. Armani Negron (3 hits, Tide Freshman MJ Guida at bat waiting on a pitch. berena and sophomore Tyler Freni were credited with one single apiece. Berberena drove home two with his hit. Chris O’Neil singled in a run. Freni pitched the first 2.2-innings, and allowed two hits, one walk and one earned run. He whiffed six. Guida tossed zeroes across the board throughout the next 1.1-innings to go along with two strikeouts. Santiago was also perfect on the mound to close out the game in the fifth inning. He had one strikeout. “It’s a great sign for the future to already see the contributions of Guida and Freni in just the first six games of this season,” said Love. “They are playing with a lot of confidence to get us off to a winning start, along with our senior leadership of Albert Santana, Nordeivy San3 walks, 3 earned runs, 2 strikeouts) pitched the first three innings, followed by Nordeivy Santana (1.2-innings, 5 walks, 1 strikeout) and Guida (2.1-innings, 1 unearned run, 1 strikeout).

They then began this week with another home victory on Monday, this time against Lynn English (10-4). Against Lynn Classical on Everett’s Arionna Osorio Bunilla keeps her eye on the ball for the Tide team.(Advocate photo by Emily Harney) April 9, pitcher Peyton Warren went all seven innings, giving up six hits, three walks and three earned runs. She fanned eight. Both teams were held scoreless throughout the first two innings. The Rams got on the scoreboard with a run in the top of the third, but the Tide got it right back, plus four more in the home half to take a 5-1 lead. Jayla Davila started off the uprising in the third with a walk. She went to second on a passed ball, and eventually scored on a single by Olivia Dresser to tie up the proceedings. Alexa Uga followed with a single, before Ashley Seward doubled in Dresser with the second run. Graziella Foster then drove home Uga with a single to center. Mia Allen walked to load the bases for Warren, who singled two more home. Each team scored one run in the fourth. Arianna Osorio-Bonilla walked to leadoff the home half. Dresser then singled. They moved up to scoring position on a fielder’s choice, before Seward knocked in the run with a sacrifice fly. The Rams scored two more in the fifth, but so did the Tide, when they came to the plate to complete the scoring in this game. Allen collected a leadoff single, followed by a single from Kassidy Rivera. Warren then drew a one-out walk to load the bases that led to the team’s two runs on passed balls. Dresser (2-for-4, 1 RBI), Uga (1-for-3), Seward (1-for-2, 2 RBI), Foster (1-for-3, 1 RBI), Allen (1-for-2), Rivera (1-for2) and Warren (1-for-2, 2 RBI) were the offensive contributors against the Rams. “We definitely started to hit the ball harder in the third, and then again in the fifth,” said Schiavo. “Classical had some SOFTBALL | SEE PAGE 22 Meet the 2025 Everett High School Unified Co-Ed Track Team Bottom row, shown from left to right, are: Keni Kule, Jorge Hernandez, Cristian Diaz, Yuleishka Perez, Cristian Tejada, and Student Coach Leyna Nguyen.

The Golden Tornadoes did get one back in the second, but the Tide tacked on five more runs when they came to the plate to take a 15-1 lead after two. Allen walked to leadoff the home half of the second. Graziella Foster followed with a single. Both advanced into scoring position on a passed ball, before Juliette Romboli walked to load the bases for Luiza Velev, who also drew a free pass to drive home a run. Mia Oliva followed with a tworun single. Seward and Uga came up with run-producing singles, as well. Malden pushed its second run of the game across the plate in the third, only to give up four more to Everett in the home half. They were now trailing, 19-2. Romboli started the inning off with a single. She went to second on a passed ball, before Seward singled her home with the fi rst run of the frame. After a walk to Mia Oliva, Uga then tripled in two. The home team scored its fi - nal three runs of the game in the fourth. Mia Oliva got on base again with a walk. Seward was then safe on fi rst after a dropped ball in the outfi eld, setting the stage for Uga, who blasted a three-run shot to put a giant exclamation point on this lopsided win. Malden did score three in the fi fth to account for the fi - nal score, before the game was called, because of the mercy rule. “Our girls played well and stayed focused, but we were still mindful of the situation,” said Schiavo. “Malden was short on pitching, so we made sure to manage the game with respect. We weren’t trying to run up the score. We were just focused on playing the game the right way. When we did get the opportunity to hit, we hit the ball hard and in the right spots.” The Tide began this week with a 10-4 win over visiting Lynn English on Monday, followed by the Chelsea makeup in Chelsea the next day. They stayed on the road to take on Somerville Wednesday, and nonleague Whittier Tech yesterday (April 17), all after press deadline.

I recently turned 70 and got hit with a 25 percent premium increase on my car insurance and am looking for ways to save. Older Driver Dear Driver, As auto insurance rates across the country continue to rise for all drivers, seniors can face an even bigger price hike, once they reach their 70s and their driving skills begin to decline. Fortunately, there are ways you can reduce your premiums. To fi nd out what discounts may be available to you, contact your auto insurer and inquire about these options. Increase your deductible: Paying a higher deductible could save you big on premiums. For example, raising your deductible from $500 to $1,000 can bring your annual premiums down by 15 to 20 percent, on average. Adjust your coverage: If you’re driving an older vehicle, you may want to consider dropping collision and/or comprehensive coverage if your premium is more than 10 percent of the car’s value. Collision insurance covers damage to your car if you’re involved in a crash (or if you’re the victim of a hit-and-run) and comprehensive covers damage caused by acts of nature (such as storm damage), vandalism, theft or fi re. But if you’re scaling back to liability coverage, make sure you have enough to pay for damages out of pocket if you’re in an accident or your car sustains damage due to weather, theft or another non-collision event. Take a defensive driving course: Some insurance companies off er defensive driving discounts – between 5 and 15 percent – to drivers who take a refresher course to brush up on their safety skills. Organizations such as AARP (aarpdriversafety.org), AAA (aaa.com/stop) and The National Safety Council (nsc.org) provide these classes, for around $20 to $30 and they can be taken online. Report your milage: Most insurers off er discounts to customers who drive limited miles each year, which is usually benefi cial to retirees who drive less because they don’t commute to work every day. These discounts usually kick in when your annual milage drops below 7,500 or 10,000 depending on your provider. Bundle policies: If your auto insurance policy is issued by a diff erent company from the one insuring your home, call each insurer and ask if bundling the policies would be cheaper. Sign up for driver monitoring: Some insurers offer discounts based on how and when you use your car. They will monitor things like your acceleration, braking habits, driving speeds and phone use, via smartphone app or a device that plugs into your car’s diagnostic port. Drivers can be rewarded anywhere from 10 to 30 percent for safe driving. In addition, many insurance providers also off er discounts to drivers who do not have any violations or accidents for three or more years. Ask about membership discounts: Many insurers off er discounts through professional associations, workers’ unions, large employers or membership organizations such as AAA, NARFE, AARP, etc. You could even qualify for savings based on the college you attended or the fraternity or sorority you belonged to decades ago. Improve your credit: You may be able to lower your car insurance premium by paying your bills on time and reducing the amount of debt you carry. Insurers look at how their customers manage credit to get an idea of risk and to price policies. Better rates are given to those with good credit scores, typically 700 or above. Comparison shop: To fi nd out if your current premium is competitive with other insurers, shop around through insurance marketplace websites like TheZebra.com, Insurify.com, Lemonade.com or Policygenius. com. Or use an independent agent (see trustedchoice.com/ agent) to help you compare. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

Klug Cafazzo, First Justice of this Court. Date: March 27, 2025 TARA E. DeCRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE April 04, 11, 18, 2025 sent to the Senate a $1.3 billion supplemental budget that uses funds generated from the recent surtax imposed on taxpayers’ earnings of more than $1 million annually, to fund $353 million for education-related projects and $828 million for transportation-related ones. It also includes non-surtax spending that pushes the combined bottom line to roughly $1.3 billion. The surtax was created by voters in November 2022 when they voted for a constitutional amendment that allows a graduated income tax in Massachusetts and imposes an additional 4 percent income tax, in addition to the fl at 5 percent one, on taxpayers’ earnings of more than $1 million annually. Language in the constitutional amendment 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.” A total of $818 million of the $828 million for transportation will be used for various MBTA projects while $10 million will fund unpaved roads. The $353 million for education includes $190 million for Circuit Breaker reimbursements, which provide fi nancial assistance to public school districts to off set the cost of delivering high-cost special education services to students; $50 million for capital improvements at vocational schools; $40 million for early education and care workforce; $10 million for universal school meals for all public-school students; and $10 million for Green SchoolWorks to decarbonize and increase effi ciency in schools through green energy projects. “Ensuring that every Massachusetts resident has access to a safe and reliable public transportation system, and that every student in the commonwealth receives a high-quality education, are ~ Legal Notice ~ Notice is hereby given by: A.G.

Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston), chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means. “By further improving our educational and transportation sectors, we will build off the work we have done in the last several budget cycles with a judicious use of the Fair Share funds.” “[The] session was dominated by votes that favored pork barrel spending and neglected support for cities and towns in transportation and education,” said Rep. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) who voted against the package. “Instead of allocating critical funding for roads and bridges to benefi t all communities, the bill was filled with pork spending for House leadership. Moreover, instead of fully funding special education costs that are straining municipal budgets, we allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to the MBTA. Overall, the bill failed to provide comprehensive fi nancial support to communities across the commonwealth. Beacon Hill needs to do better.” “While the education piece was strong, the transportation piece was not,” said Rep. Joe McKenna (R-Webster). “The stark disparity in funding between the MBTA getting nearly the entirety of funding while the 277 cities and towns without direct MBTA access were effectively left out, was too large a gap to support the bill.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep.

Currently, communities receive roads funding based on their population, employment and total road miles. “The amendment would have shifted only $50 million - just 6 percent out of $828 million - for the MBTA and reappropriate it to Chapter 90 to be allocated based on a town’s road mileage,” said amendment sponsor Rep. Joe McKenna (R-Sutton). “This would have shown a strong commitment from the commonwealth to provide regional equity in transportation infrastructure in all corners of the state, while still infusing a massive $743 million dollars to the T.” Rep. James Arciero (D-Westford) said that adequate funding for roads and bridges is always important, but it’s part of a larger discussion. This is a subject that’s better suited for examination before the public at the committee level. The Transportation Committee will take up this very subject tomorrow when it hears the governor’s $1.5 billion proposal for the Chapter 90 program. The committee looks forward to hearing from legislators, stakeholders and municipal leaders across the state as we examine the governor’s proposal.

Ken Gordon (D-Bedford) offered a further amendment that would delay the ban from taking place until the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education studies the transgender students in school sports issue. The House approved the delay and essentially killed Gaskey’s bill. The vote was conducted on a voice vote without a roll call. Rep. Gordon said that the issue is not a simple one but rather a complex one, involving issues of federal and state law, and also is the subject of multiple bills that are being considered by the Committee on Education, including one proposed by Gaskey himself. He argued that the study and a public hearing on the ban should be complete before the House votes on it. In his first speech on the floor of the House, Gaskey called Gordon’s maneuver “a way to bury this and make sure that nobody ever gets this on the record.” “We don’t need a study on how this is going to affect people,” he said. “We already know this is going to affect people. We already know how many students are going to be affected — every student is going to be affected. Every student athlete will play on the team they were born to play on. That’s what this bill is.” He said his proposed ban would bring Massachusetts in line with the federal government because President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February prohibiting transgender women and girls from competing in female sports.

Supporters say the state income tax form currently features six “tax check-off” options that give residents the option, when filing their state income tax return, to contribute all or part of their tax refund to various causes. Sen. Mike Barrett (D-Lexington), the sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to explain why he filed the bill. “Sen. Barrett’s idea is incredibly silly and just shows how out of touch some lawmakers become when they get elected,” said Paul Craney, executive director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “As ratepayers see their utility and energy bills increase by 30 to 50 percent to fund climate mandates passed by the Legislature, the senator wants to send more money to the climate causes.” PUBLIC HEARINGS ON TAX HIKES AND NEW TAXES (S 2057) - Another bill heard by the Judiciary Committee would require the House and Senate Committees on Ways and Means to hold at the least three public hearings in Boston, Worcester and Springfield on any legislation referred to them that would increase or expand any existing taxes or fees or establish any new taxes or fees. Each hearing would require at least fourteen days’ notice to ensure that the public has sufficient time to prepare. “I am sponsoring this bill because transparency of where taxpayer dollars are going between the Legislature and the public are of the utmost importance currently,” said sponsor Sen. Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth). “The sense of trust and understanding between lawmakers and taxpayers sought by this legislation is only possible through thoughtful action to include everyone in the legislative process.” JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HEARING – The Judiciary Committee held a hearing on several bills including these three: EMINENT DOMAIN (H 67) – This proposed constitutional amendment would prohibit private property from being taken by the government for private commercial enterprise, economic development or any other private use without the consent of the owner. “The right to own property is a basic principle of the commonwealth and it is one that I feel should be protected,” said sponsor Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “I filed this proposed amendment in response to the Supreme Court’s actions in Kelo v. New London, where a majority of the BEACON | SEE PAGE 27 ׉ 7cassandra://8vHw23dO7mZeUCZs4Wekffx-0-LbS8NxikezqMbpCuM)|`h:_`M׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 18, 2025 Page 27 BEACON | FROM PAGE 26 justices ruled against private property holders and determined that the New London Development Commission could take private properties for the purpose of economic development.

Supporters said that these platforms and wagering participation are problematic on many grounds, specifically misinterpreting political outcomes. They are commonly mistaken as indicators for who is winning an election when that is not the case. “Since online gambling was legalized in Massachusetts, political wagering has significantly increased, with billions of dollars generated,” said sponsor Sen. Jake Oliveira (D-Ludlow). “In the 2024 presidential election, over $3.2 billion in wagers related were placed on one platform alone. I filed this legislation to ensure stronger safeguards for our election processes and their accuracy. The bill is rooted in preserving the integrity of democratic processes by prohibiting wagering on elections or legislative outcomes, preventing the commodification of our democratic processes.” PREVENT SUICIDE (S 1109) – This legislation would criminalize coerced suicide. The measure would impose up to a 5-year prison sentence on a person who has actual knowledge of another person’s suicidal ideation, and either coerces the other person to commit suicide, or provides the physical means, or knowledge of such means, to commit suicide. “I filed this bill in honor of Conrad Roy, a young man who died after his girlfriend Michelle Carter relentlessly pressured him into taking his own life,” said sponsor Sen. Barry Finegold (D-Andover). “Conrad’s Law is a common-sense reform that has support from across the political spectrum. If passed, it will help save lives.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Everything from gas to housing to taxes is too expensive. Too many kids aren’t receiving the education they need to compete in a global economy.

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 ADDRESS 30 Chelsea St #203 30 Chelsea St #609 CITY Everett Everett lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of April 7-11, the House met for a total of seven hours and 26 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 20 minutes.
