tation (MassDOT) are partnering
on the â€œSchoolâ€™s Open, Drive
Carefullyâ€� initiative, which encourages
extra caution around
schools, crosswalks and residential
neighborhoods as students
return to walking, biking
and taking public transportation
to and from school.
The reminder is especially important
in Everett, where preliminary
data from MassDOTâ€™s
IMPACT crash data portal shows
traffi c crashes increased from
319 in 2024 to 506 in 2025. Between
2020 and 2025, Everett
also recorded 80 pedestrian
crashes, 61 of which resulted
in injuries. Twenty percent of
pedestrians struck during that
period were children, teens or
young adults.
â€œAs a City, we are constantly
looking at our streets, intersections
and the areas around
our schools and asking where
we can do better,â€� said Mayor
Robert J. Van Campen. â€œThe
â€˜Schoolâ€™s Open, Drive Carefullyâ€™
initiative is an important
reminder for all of us to slow
down, stay alert and do our part
to make sure everyone gets
home safely.â€�
â€œAs we welcome students

is a reminder that safety is
a shared responsibility,â€� said Interim

with our communities to
create transportation systems
that protect our most vulnerable
road users, especially our
children. We urge every driver
to slow down, stay alert and
put safety fi rst.â€�
â€œThis school year, the RMV is
reminding drivers to slow down
and stay alert for school buses,
and to watch for children in
the roadway,â€� said Registrar of
Motor Vehicles Colleen Ogilvie.
â€œDrivers are required by law to
stop when a school bus has its
red lights fl ashing, and we ask
that drivers use extra caution
to help keep our students safe.â€�
â€œThe Everett Police Department
and our crossing guards,
principals, faculty and parents
do their part to make sure students
get to and from school
safely every day,â€� said Everett
Public Schools Superintendent
William D. Hart. â€œBut we must
also rely on drivers to be cautious,
follow posted signs and
obey speed limits. Safe conditions
depend on safe drivers.
We owe it to each other and,
most of all, our students.â€�

adjustment for everyone
on the road,â€� said AAA Northeast
Senior Spokesperson Mark
Schieldrop. â€œReducing speeds
and taking extra care around
school buses, pedestrians and
cyclists takes extra time, but it
could save a life.â€�
Drivers should expect more
traffi c during school arrival and
dismissal times and allow extra
time for their commute. The
City and its partners are asking
drivers to:
â€¢ Slow down and follow posted
school-zone speed limits.
EPS Supt. Bill Hart addresses
the attendees at the recent
school safety press conference

â€¢ Stay alert for students, crossing
guards, bicyclists and e-bike
and e-scooter riders.
â€¢ Put phones and other distractions
away while driving.
â€¢ Stop for school buses as required
and never attempt to
pass a stopped bus.
â€¢ Check carefully for pedestrians
and cyclists before turning
or entering an intersection.
Pedestrians and cyclists
should use designated crossings
whenever possible, limit
distractions and never assume
a driver can see them before entering
the roadway.

Davis Managing Director of

Charlestown comprises most
of Ryanâ€™s district, but the Docklands
District is also in it. â€œIâ€™m
interested in the future of the
entire area and how taking the
old industrial area and changing

â€œI want to be helpful to Everett

wouldnâ€™t want development
in Charlestown to affect Everett
negatively.â€�
â€œPeople want to see the community
revitalized,â€� State Representative
Judith Garcia said.
â€œProjects that can regenerate a
city create hope. The vision of
what theyâ€™re trying to create is
ambitious and on a grand scale,
but it seems like it will accommodate
different uses.â€�
Most of her district covers
Chelsea but also includes sections
of Everettâ€™s Ward 2. The
Docklands District is in adjacent
Ward 1. â€œChelsea is watching
these developments closely
to see what our good neighbors
in Everett are doing,â€� she
said in reference to the economic,
environmental and social
impacts development will
have on Everett and surrounding
communities.
â€œWe got to see whatâ€™s possibly
going to happen, but there
are a lot more steps to go,â€� Ward
4 Councillor Holly Garcia said of
the event. â€œIâ€™m interested in seeing
variety and more parking.â€�
The Open House allowed
people to see maps of the area,
photos of it while the gas tank
were there and after theyâ€™d
been removed, conceptual
maps of dense and light development
and artist renditions
of what area may look like, but
it should be noted development
may look radically different
from those renditions,
which was acknowledged by
Dempsey. He added that the
Open House was part of the
public process of incorporating
the area into a local Master
Plan to â€œset guardrails.â€�
The plans also require adherence
to environmental guidelines
set by the state Environment
Protection Agency (EPA).
The site is only three miles
from Kendall Square near the
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) and could
provide space for a high-tech
start-up by MIT grads. It is also
close enough to so many communities;
people working in
Boston, Cambridge, Somerville
or communities north of Everett
would find it accessible to
their places of work.
Installation of a commuter
rail stop and more bus service
in the area would help
facilitate that. The commuter
rail stop would be on the
Newburyport/Rockport line.
â€œPublic transportation is very
important to this,â€� Davis Vice
President of Development Ben
Masselink thinks.
Long awaited and desired
access to the waterfront and
open space with access to the
Mystic River, on existing streets
or future pathways, are also
parts of the plans. Davis owns
a small portion of land on the
Mystic and is looking for ways

â€œThis bridge will close a major

for people walking, rolling
and biking. In addition to the
bridge itself, the project includes
connections to existing
shared-use paths, new lighting
and wayfinding, landscaped
approaches and improvements
along the riverfront.
The project has advanced
with extensive public input,
including public informational
meetings and a design public
hearing. MassDOT and DCR
have worked with the communities
of Everett and Somerville
throughout the design, permitting
and procurement process
to incorporate feedback
and strengthen connections to
the surrounding trail network
and destinations.
The Mystic River Bicycle and
Pedestrian Bridge is part of the
Healey-Driscoll Administrationâ€™s
continued investments
to make transportation safer,
more reliable and more accessible
across Massachusetts.
Since taking offi ce, the Administration
has made historic investments
in roads and bridges,
public transit, walking and
biking infrastructure and local
transportation projects that
better connect communities
and give residents more choices
in how they get around.
â€œThis is an exciting milestone
for Everett and a project that
will fundamentally change
how our residents connect to
the region,â€� said Mayor Robert
J. Van Campen. â€œFor too long,
the Mystic River has been a
barrier between Everett and
our neighboring communities.
This bridge will give residents
more options to get to work,
connect to public transit, and
walk or bike instead of sitting
in traffi c. Building a more connected
and sustainable Everett
is a priority for my administration,
and this project is a major
step in that direction.â€�

Local fi lmmakerâ€™s â€˜CALVINâ€™ brings Chelsea story to the big screen
F
Special to Th e Advocate
or Everett, Massachusetts
fi lmmaker Altavius â€œFiveâ€� Andrews,
â€œCALVINâ€� is more than a
short film. It represents eight
months of hard work, personal
sacrifi ce and a belief that independent
fi lmmakers can create
meaningful stories without a major
studio behind them. Andrews,
founder of YIC Productions and
Louisiana Five Film, originally
grew up in Shreveport, Louisiana,
before moving to Massachusetts
to pursue his passion for fi lmmaking.
His latest project, â€œCALVIN,â€�
became a deeply personal
creative journey that brought together
local talent and locations
throughout the Boston area.
Approximately 90 percent of
â€œCALVINâ€� was fi lmed in Chelsea,
Massachusetts, making the city
an important part of the fi lmâ€™s
identity. Rather than simply using
Chelsea as a backdrop, Andrews
wanted the environment
and atmosphere of the community
to help tell the story.
The fi lm is an emotional drama
centered around family, violence,
loss and the lasting effects
of trauma. At the heart of
the story is Calvin, whose life and
circumstances have a profound
impact on the people around
him. Characters including Mama
Rosa, Maleek and Cathy help tell
a larger story about family, survival
and the emotional consequences
that can follow tragedy.
Getting the film completed
was not easy. Andrews balanced
production with his responsibilities
as a working father while
investing his own time and reCast
and crew at the August 2026 premiere of â€œCALVINâ€� at the Capitol Theatre in Arlington.
sources in bringing the project
together. From fi lming and locations
to promotional materials
and other production expenses,
much of the process required
him to make personal sacrifi
ces. Still, he continued pushing
forward.
That determination reached
a major milestone on August
30, 2026, when â€œCALVINâ€� premiered
at the Capitol Theatre in
Arlington, Massachusetts. The
premiere featured a red-carpet
experience, photo opportunities,
a performance connected
to the fi lmâ€™s soundtrack, a question-and-answer
session with
the cast and crew, and the theatrical
screening of the fi lm. The
response from the community
was signifi cant. The â€œCALVINâ€� premiere
sold out twice, giving Andrews
and his team an opportunity
to celebrate the project with
an audience that had followed
its journey.
But Andrews sees the premiere
as the beginning of the
next chapter rather than the end.
He is now working to bring â€œCALVINâ€�

seeking opportunities for media

He has already begun
sharing the story behind the fi lm
through interviews, including an
appearance on CCTV with the
Bounce Back Podcast.
The larger goal extends beyond
â€œCALVIN.â€� Through YIC Productions,
Andrews hopes to
build a platform that gives independent
artists and fi lmmakers
opportunities to tell stories, collaborate
and create something
lasting. His philosophy is simple:
â€œWeâ€™re not just premiering a fi lm.
Weâ€™re building a platform where

communities see themselves in
a diff erent light.â€�
For Andrews, â€œCALVINâ€� is proof
that a story can start with one
person, grow through a community
and eventually make its way
to the big screen.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE â€“ FRiDAy, OCTObER 2, 2026
Crimson Tide football edges perennial superpower BC High
on the road; Girls soccer keeps on winning; Boys soccer looks
to regain winning form after losing two straight games
By Joe McConnell
Everett ranks 11th
I
in
early season D-1 poll
after big win over the
Eaglets
n back-to-back weeks, the Everett
High football team (2-1)
went up against two perennial
Catholic Conference powerhouses.
The Xaverian Hawks
took them to school at the Stadium
on Sept. 18 to the tune
of 53-6, but they must have
learned their lessons well, because
the following week they
won a close battle at BC Highâ€™s
James Cotter Field, 22-19. As a
result, the Everett boys ended
the month of September as the
11th
seed in Division 1, according
to the Sept. 29 MIAA power
rankings, just ahead of the
12th
-seeded Eaglets.
It was definitely a seminal
win for a program that has
longed for one seemingly for
years, and Coach Rob DiLoreto
couldnâ€™t be any happier.
â€œ(Last) Friday nightâ€™s win was
hard fought, and a complete
team effort,â€� he said. â€œWe made
big plays in all three phases of
the game â€“ offense, defense
and special teams â€“ and the
players in each group contributed
a great deal to this victory.â€�
DiLoreto
knows that BC High
is traditionally a talented Catholic
Conference opponent, and
heâ€™s â€œvery proudâ€� of the way his
players bounced back from the
previous weekâ€™s loss to Xaverian.
â€œOur players showed tremendous
belief in each other
by coming from behind twice
(against BC High),â€� he added.
Everett enjoyed a 14-7 lead at
halftime. The Eaglets trimmed
that lead to one after three, 1413,
and took the lead themselves
in the final period, 1914,
only to see freshman quarterback
Michael Walsh (7 completions
for 188 yards, 2 touchdowns)
take it right back on a
69-yard bomb to Jamauri Dulin
(3 receptions for 87 yards). The
tandem then hooked up again
on the conversion try to account
for the final margin of
difference.
That was Walshâ€™s second 69yard
touchdown pass of the
game. He previously found Jeremiah
Joseph (3 catches for 80
yards) for a long-range scoring
strike in the second quarter.
Luca DaSilva then made his
second extra point of the first
half. The first one came after Tyler
Freniâ€™s three-yard run to the
endzone earlier in that frame.
Throughout the game, Freni
carried the ball 19 times for 78
yards, and caught one pass for
another 21 yards.

chael Walsh connected on
â€œsome beautiful passes,â€� said
DiLoreto, â€œwhile showing tremendous
composure directing
our offense.â€�
DiLoreto also singled out
running backs Roshon Beloney
(6 carries, 39 yards) and
Freni for their contributions to
the offense, while on defense,
linemen Kamari Washum (1
solo tackle, 3 assisted tackles)
and Michael James (2 solos, 7
assisted tackles) were solid on

DiLoreto also mentioned
those in the defensive backfield
like Godson Dellisme (2
assisted tackles) and Phil Pimenta
(1 solo tackle, 8 assisted
tackles), who helped slow
down the BC High offense.
DiLoreto continues to be
amazed by the composure of
his young quarterback. â€œIâ€™m
very impressed with Michaelâ€™s
poise as a quarterback,â€� he said.
â€œHeâ€™s doing a nice job of staying
in the moment, playing one
play at a time, which is helping
him stay grounded in each
game.Every high school quarterback
enjoys a huge growth
curve in their first year as a
starter, regardless of their age,
but being a freshman makes
the growth curve even more
impactful.His confidence is
a key component to his performance
and success. I have
100% faith in him that heâ€™ll continue
to get even better.â€�

SPORTS | FROM PAGE 8
The Tide begins the Greater
Boston League schedule Friday
night (Oct. 2, 6 p.m.) against the
host Golden Tornadoes at Maldenâ€™s
Macdonald Stadium. Like
Everett, Malden is also 2-1, and
is coming off a solid win over
Lowell Catholic. They have a
high-powered running attack,
led by extremely talented
backs, according to DiLoreto.
â€œI have a tremendous amount
of respect for (Malden) Coach
(Witche) Exilhomme, and I
know he will have his team
ready for this rivalry game,â€�
DiLoreto said.
Tide girls soccer
extends winning
streak to four
E
ntering this week, the Everett
High School girls soccer
team (5-1-1) was riding a threegame
winning streak that included
shutout road victories
over Revere (3-0, Sept. 22) and
Lynn Classical (4-0, Sept. 24).
They then made it four in a row
after a non-league home win
against Oâ€™Bryant, 2-1 on Monday,
Sept. 28.
Against Revere, the Everett
girls turned in a complete team
effort, according to coach Dom
Persuitte. â€œ(Their play) looked
and felt great,â€� said a very enthusiastic
Everett coach afterwards.
Odalis
Sandoval and Johanna
Flores were the goal scorers
against the Patriots. Sandovalâ€™s
goal came off a corner
kick, followed by a scramble in
the box. Senior captain Sofia
Arana-Quintanilla was credited
with an assist on the play.
Flores scored the teamâ€™s second
goal from Brianna Santos,
and Persuitte then praised
both players after the game.
He said of them: â€œThey are both
making a name for themselves
this season (as fine soccer players).â€�
But
as the Everett coach said,
it took a team effort to beat rival
Revere. Midfielder Kayla Andrade,
outside winger Connie
Paz-Hernandez, winger Bella
Mitrono, speedy freshman reserve
Mahiya Begum and Sofia
Arana-Quintanilla were also
standouts among others in his
mind.
Two days later against the
Rams, it was more of the same.
â€œWe are really starting to see
the team come together, and
play as one,â€� said Persuitte once
again after this contest.
Santos, only a freshman,
paced the offensive attack with
her first varsity hat trick. Classmate
Melany Arana-Quintanilla
assisted on her second
score. She scored both goals
in the first half, and added the
third goal for the hat trick late
in the game.
Sofia Arana-Quintanilla netted
the teamâ€™s final marker on
a penalty kick. â€œSofia was cool,
calm and collected when she
shot the PK into the net,â€� said
Persuitte.
Persuitte also specifically
singled out Santos, Sandoval,
Flores, Begum, Gissell Lemus,
Rosa Romero and Sofia
Arana-Quintanilla for their extra
effort.
â€œOverall, Iâ€™m very pleased
with our play. Itâ€™s been fun
to watch them move the ball
around, and see the hard work
they have been putting in so
far this year pay off,â€� the coach
said.
The Everett girls went up
against visiting Revere on
Sept. 30 after press deadline,
before heading to Walthamâ€™s
Leary Field on Friday (Oct. 2,
4:30 p.m.) to take on the nonleague
Hawks. They will then
return home to play host to
Malden (Oct. 5 at the Stadium,
7 p.m.), Lynn Classical (Oct. 6
at 7-Acres, 4:15 p.m.) and Lynn
English (Oct. 9 at 7-Acres, 4:15
p.m.) next week.
Tide boys soccer looks
to bounce back
following close losses
to Revere, Arlington
A
fter winning two in a row,
the Tide boys soccer team
(2-5) lost twice last week to Revere
(5-3, Sept. 22 at 7-Acres)
and non-league Arlington (4-2,
Sept. 25 at the Stadium).
â€œThe game against Revere
went back-and-forth in the
first half,â€� said coach Rodney
Landaverde. â€œWe went goal for
goal with them for a while. Revere
then scored three goals,
which helped put the game out
of reach. But we continued to
create opportunities until we finally
got one back with 10 minutes
left in the game.â€�
Daniel Henriquez led the
way for the Everett boys with
two scores. Saymon Coelho accounted
for the other tally.
Arlington then came to Everett
to take on the Tide last Friday
afternoon at the Stadium.
Throughout the first 25 minutes
of this game, it was a battle,
but Arlington still led at
halftime, 2-0.
â€˜We continued to fight back,
but Arlington was still on the
attack, and was able to sneak in
two more goals,â€� said Landaverde.
â€œWith 10 minutes left, we
subbed-in senior Jorge Ayala
to add more to our attack that
also included Saymon Coelho
and Daniel Henriquez. As
a result, we were able to score
three times, and (Ayala) picked
up an assist on each goal.â€�
The Tide was scheduled to
go up against Lynn English at
home on Oct. 1 in their only
game this week after press
deadline. But next week, they
have a couple of road encounters
against Lynn Classical (Oct.
7 at Manning Field, 4:30 p.m.)
and Marblehead (Oct. 9 at Piper
Field, 7:30 p.m.) on tap to
hopefully begin another winning
streak.

Due on Sale Clause
and Irrevocable Trusts
P
eople are often concerned
about a lender exercising
the â€œdue on sale clauseâ€� contained
in their mortgage allowing
a lender to call in the
note and force a refinance of
the property at a much higher
interest rate. So many people
have been locked in at
2.75% to 3.75% mortgage
rates and they certainly would
not want to be paying todayâ€™s
mortgage rates approximating
7.00%.
When trying to protect your
home from a nursing home,
you may very well decide to
transfer it to an irrevocable
Trust to start the five-year look
back period. Five years after
the transfer, the home will be
protected as it would not be
considered a countable asset
for MassHealth purposes.
Under 12 U.S.C. Section
1701(j)-3(d)(8), a lender may
not exercise a due on sale
clause when a borrower transfers
residential real estate
(with fewer than 5 dwelling
units) into an â€œintervivosâ€� Trust
where the borrower is and
remains a beneficiary of the
Trust and rights of occupancy
do not change. An intervivos
Trust is simply a Trust you
create during your lifetime. An
intervivos Trust can be revocable
or irrevocable. Therefore,
transferring your home into
an irrevocable Trust should
not lead to a lender exercising
its due on sale provision. Your
interest rate should be protected.
We often will ask the
lender to approve the transfer
to the irrevocable Trust by
providing the lender with a
draft of the Trust.
I have yet to see a lender
exercise the due on sale
clause when someone transferred
the home to an irrevocable
Trust when the home
was encumbered by a mortgage.
The Garn-St. Germain
federal law passed in 1982
was designed to protect lenders
by having federal law preempt
State law that might
have limited a lenderâ€™s right
to exercise the due on sale
clause. Subsequently, Congress
enacted 12 U.S.C Section
1701j-3(d) which carved
out 9 exceptions where lenders
cannot exercise the due on
sale clause.
Exception number 8 applies
to intervivos Trusts. So
long as the Settlor of the irrevocable
Trust (who is also
the borrower on the original
mortgage taken out), pursuant
to the terms of the Trust,
has the right of use, occupancy
and possession of the real
estate held in Trust and is the
current income beneficiary,
Section (d)(8) should protect
against the due on sale clause
as this is federal law.
Consequently, you should
not have to reserve a life estate
on the deed to protect
against the due on sale clause.
The downside to reserving a
life estate on the deed is that
if the home is subsequently
sold, the portion of the sale
attributable to the life estate
interest gets paid to the life
tenant and is then back on
the table as a countable asset
for MassHealth eligibility purposes.
You can always cite this
federal statute to a loan officer
as many will not be familiar
with this law.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE â€“ FRiDAy, OCTObER 2, 2026
City of Everett Partners with Eliot Family Resource
Special to The Advocate
O
n Saturday, September 19,
the City of Everett partnered
with the Eliot Family Resource
Center (EFRC) to host
the Cityâ€™s first Sensory-Friendly
Touch-A-Truck event at the Everett
Recreation Center.
Families enjoyed sensory-friendly
games and activities
while children had the opportunity
to get an up-close
look at fire trucks, police cruisers
and other first responder
vehicles.
The event offered a quieter,
more accessible version of a traditional
Touch-A-Truck for children
and adults who may be
sensitive to loud noises, flashing
lights or large crowds.
â€œIt was great to see so many
kids and families come out for
Everettâ€™s first sensory-friendly
Touch-A-Truck,â€� said Mayor
Robert J. Van Campen. â€œEverett
is home to people with different
needs and experiences, and
itâ€™s important that the events
and programs we offer reflect
that. Every family should have
opportunities to participate,
feel comfortable and enjoy being
part of our community.â€�
Acting Director of Youth Development
and Enrichment Roberto
Velasquez said the event
was an important step toward
offering more inclusive programming
for Everett families.
â€œIt was amazing to see kids
and families enjoying a TouchA-Truck
experience designed to
make everyone feel welcome
and comfortable,â€� said Velasquez.
â€œWeâ€™re excited to build
on this event and continue
finding ways to make our programs
more accessible to families
across Everett.â€�
The City of Everett was proud
to partner with EFRC, Everett
Public Schools, the Everett Fire
Department, the Everett Police
Department and other community
partners to create a welcoming
environment where
children could explore, learn
and have fun at their own pace.

Medicare and Moving:
What You Need to Know
Dear Savvy Senior,
Iâ€™m planning to move later this
year to be closer to my youngest
son and his family. Iâ€™ve lived in the
same state for decades, so Iâ€™m a little
nervous about how this might
aff ect my Medicare coverage. Will
I need to change plans or take any
special steps to avoid gaps?
Relocating Rita
Dear Rita,
Great question. A move like this
is exciting, but itâ€™s smart to think
ahead about how it could aff ect
your coverage. Whether your
Medicare is impacted â€“ and what
youâ€™ll need to do â€“ depends on
the type of plan you have. Hereâ€™s
what to expect and steps to take
before and after your move.
Original Medicare
If youâ€™re enrolled in original
Medicare (Part A and Part B),
youâ€™re in the simplest situation.
Your coverage will go with you
anywhere in the United States,
so you wonâ€™t need to change your
plan when you move.
That said, you do need to update
your address so you donâ€™t
miss important notices like your
Medicare Summary Notice or
billing statements. The easiest
way to do that is online through
your â€œmy Social Securityâ€� account
at ssa.gov/myaccount using the
â€œMy Profi leâ€� tab. If you donâ€™t already
have an account, you can
set one up in just a few minutes.
Or, you can call Social Security at
800-772-1213 and have them update
it for you.
Part D drug coverage
If you have original Medicare
along with a stand-alone Part D
drug plan, your move may require
a change. Drug plans are based on
where you live, so youâ€™ll need to
contact your current plan to see
if it operates in your new state.
If it doesnâ€™t, youâ€™ll need to
choose a new plan that does.
Youâ€™re given a special enrollment
window to make this switch â€“
starting the month before your
move and lasting up to two full
months afterward. If you miss that
window, you may have to wait until
the next open enrollment period
(Oct. 15 to Dec. 7), and you
could face a late enrollment penalty
if you go without qualifying
drug coverage.
Advantage plans
Medicare Advantage plans are
also location-based, so a move almost
always means youâ€™ll need to
take action. Check with your plan
to see if it serves your new area. If
it doesnâ€™t, youâ€™ll need to enroll in
a new Advantage plan or switch
to original Medicare.
Like Part D, youâ€™ll have a special
enrollment period that begins the
month before you move and continues
for two months after. If you
move outside your planâ€™s service
area and donâ€™t pick a new plan,
your current plan will eventually
disenroll you, and youâ€™ll be placed
back into original Medicare.
To compare plans available in
your new location, visit medicare.
gov/plan-compare, which lets you
review both Advantage and Part
D options side by side.
Medigap
If you have original Medicare
and a Medigap policy, you generally
wonâ€™t need to switch plans
when you move. These policies
are standardized nationwide,
meaning a Plan G in one state offers
the same basic benefits in
another.
Still, you should notify your insurer
of your new address. And
keep in mind that while your coverage
stays the same, your premium
might change depending on
your new ZIP code.
One exception to be aware of is
Medicare Select, a type of Medigap
plan that uses provider networks.
If you have one of these
(theyâ€™re not very common), you
may need to switch plans when
you relocate.
A move doesnâ€™t have to disrupt
your Medicare, but it pays to
plan ahead. Update your address,
and if you have a Part D or Medicare
Advantage plan, review your
coverage and make any needed
changes on time.

posals by its May 5 deadline.
At which point supporters
were required to collect another
12,429 signatures by
July 1, 2026 in order to get
their question on the ballot.
All nine groups gathered suffi
cient signatures to get their
question on the 2026 ballot.
Although neither the House
nor Senate voted on any of
the nine proposals, the Committee
on Initiative Petitions
did hold public hearings on
the questions. The committee
eventually issued a majority
report recommending
that the Legislature take
no action on each proposal.
The Legislature never acted
on the reports which were
simply â€œplaced on fi le,â€� where
they died.
Secretary of State Bill Galvin
has issued an 88-page
book via the U.S. mail and online
with details about each
question. If you would rather
not read the entire 88-page
book, Beacon Hill Roll Call
will be presenting a report
on each ballot question over
the next several weeks prior
to the election.
BALLOT QUESTION 2 â€“
Here is a look at Question 2:
QUESTION 2: ALLOW EMPLOYEES
OF THE COMMITTEE
FOR PUBLIC COUNSEL
SERVICES (CPCS) TO ENGAGE
IN COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
WITH THEIR EMPLOYER.
THE CPCS PAYS
FOR ATTORNEYS TO REPRESENT
INDIGENT PERSONS
IN CRIMINAL AND CIVIL
CASES.
This question asks voters if
they approve of a proposed
law that would specify that
employees of the CPCS are
permitted to engage in collective
bargaining with their
employer. It would also require
CPCS, after executing
a collective bargaining agreement,
to request the appropriation
necessary to fund
such agreement from the
governor.
WHAT SUPPORTERS SAY:
â€œVote â€˜Yesâ€™ on 2 because
public defenders are underpaid
as it relates to other
states,â€� Tom McKeever, President
of SEIU Local 888, told
Beacon Hill Roll Call. â€œPublic
defenders provide legal
services for people that
need it the most -- the underprivileged
and poor [including
the] indigent population,
our neighbors, constituents
and residents in the
commonwealth. Organizing
public defenders and support
staff will give predictably
for the future. Security
through just cause, protection
through grievance processes.
Fair compensation,
safe working conditions and
additional membership benefi
ts through the union.â€�
McKeever continued,
â€œ[There is] no opposition to
[Question 2] to speak of at
this time. Our campaign received
over 100,000 signatures
in just over a month.
SEIU Local 888 and partners
National Association Government
Employees are very
happy with the momentum
being built as we approach
Election Day on Nov. 3rd.â€�
WHAT OPPONENTS SAY:
There is no organized
group urging a â€œNoâ€� vote on
this question.
Opponents in general say
that CPCS is an independent
agency of the judicial branch
and allowing it to collectively
bargain could cause problems.
They say that any such
agreement could aff ect the
agencyâ€™s delivery of its legal
services because of questionable
specifi cs of the agreement
that might limit the
agencyâ€™s ability to have fl exibility
in responding to varying
caseloads and other conditions.
OFFICIAL
ARGUMENTS:
Here are the official arguments,
gathered by the secretary
of state, from each side
of the question:
IN FAVOR:
â€œA â€˜Yesâ€™ vote will give employees
of the CPCS the right
to organize a union and collectively
bargain with their
employer if they choose to
do so.
CPCS employees provide
critical support for the constitutional
right to counsel
and help ensure that Massachusetts
residents who cannot
aff ord an attorney have
access to legal representation.
Yet, unlike other state
employees, CPCS employees
do not currently have
the right to choose whether
to organize and collectively
bargain over wages, benefi
ts and working conditions.
This ballot question would
allow CPCS employees
to form a union if they so
choose. It simply gives CPCS
employees the right to make
that choice for themselves.

ployees the right to choose.â€�
AGAINST:
â€œAllowing employees of
CPCS to collectively bargain
creates serious operational
and fiscal risks for the judiciary.
CPCS operates as an
independent judicial branch
agency tasked with providing
constitutional defense to
indigent clients. Introducing
collective bargaining into this
framework could disrupt existing
management and supervisory
frameworks, introduce
ambiguity into lines of
authority and create operational
inefficiencies.
Changes to labor relations
policies of this scale could
have unintended consequences
for the delivery of
legal services, particularly if
they limit the agencyâ€™s ability
to respond flexibly to fluctuating
caseloads, staffing
needs and court demands.â€�
WHAT YOUR VOTE DOES:
A â€œYesâ€� vote would allow the
CPCS to form a union to collectively
bargain with their
employer.
A â€œNoâ€� vote is against allowing
CPCS employees to form
a union and collectively bargain
with their employer.
ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL
SUSPEND THE GAS TAX â€“
Mike Minogue, the Republican
candidate for governor,
proposed a suspension of the
stateâ€™s 24-cent-per-gallon gas
tax whenever prices climb
above $4 per gallon.
â€œA gas tax holiday is a commonsense
solution for hardworking
Massachusetts families,â€�
said Minogue. â€œThe Legislature
must put the people
first and get this done. As
governor, Iâ€™ll do the audit and
free up millions lost to waste,
fraud and abuse -- allowing
us to provide relief to Massachusetts
families.â€�
Minogue continued, â€œMaura
Healeyâ€™s transportation
and climate agenda points
the other way. Instead of lifting
the tax on a gallon, allies
on Beacon Hill have advanced
plans to measure
how many miles residents
drive and use that figure to
cut car travel, with a per-mile
tax left on the table as a future
tool. A miles-driven tax
does not wait for a spike at
the pump. It charges people
for going to work, taking kids
to school and living outside a
transit line.â€�
Healey responded by filing
a supplemental budget
that includes a two-month
suspension of the gas tax.
Her budget goes further and
also includes $2.25 million
to strengthen postpartum
care and mental health support
for mothers and families;
a cap on ticket resale
prices and fees; $41.5 million
for the Department of Transitional
Assistance for caseworkers
and technological
upgrades to help people stay
enrolled in the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP) despite President
Trumpâ€™s cuts; funding
for MassHealth, public safety
and other state services;
and changes to how utility
companies purchase electricity
for customers on basic
service, which Healey estimated
would save ratepayers
$610 million.

(D-Marlborough), the sponsor
of the bill. â€œBy exempting
small property owners and
recently built housing, the
bill would protect tenants
from steep rent hikes while
allowing new housing construction
to continue across
Massachusetts.â€�
Other supporters of the
proposal say that this is an
issue about morals and note
that morally, we need to
house people. They note
that people need homes, a
warm place to sleep, a place
to shower, a place to eat and
a place to feel safe. They say
the state is failing at providing
that by allowing landlords
to try to charge huge
increases year after year and
constantly evict people for
nonpayment of rent.
Opponents say rent control
reduces the supply of
housing which drives rents
up, makes it more difficult for
owners to afford rising operating
and repair costs and
hurts all the tenants in the
buildings who depend on
the landlord to provide safe
and well-maintained living
spaces. They say it makes it
almost impossible for landlords
to remove non-complying
tenants.
REQUIRE ONLY ONE LICENSE
PLATE ON VEHICLES
(SD 3760) â€“ The Senate referred
to the Committee on
Transportation a bill that
would require only a rear license
plate be issued for every
motor vehicle. Current
law requires both a front and
back plate.
The bill was filed by Sen.
Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) at
the request of a constituent,
Rich Carlson of Gloucester,
under a state law that allows
citizens to request their local
legislator file a bill on the
constituentâ€™s behalf. These
bills are known as â€œBy Requestâ€�
bills and do not necessarily
have the support of
the legislator who filed it for
the constituent. Tarr did not
respond to several requests
by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking
him if he supports or opposes
the proposal.
â€œMassachusetts should return
to a single rear license
plate because modern enforcement
tools already rely
on rear plate scanning and
nearby jurisdictions like Connecticut,
Rhode Island and
most Canadian provinces operate
safely with one plate,â€�

said Carlson. â€œIn Massachusetts,
the second plate adds
cost and environmental impact,
with Massachusetts
spending over $3 million annually
on aluminum plates
that require energy intensive
production and create
unnecessary waste. A single
plate also avoids vehicle
design conflicts since most
modern cars arenâ€™t built to
accommodate front plates
without drilling or brackets.
Massachusetts has successfully
used a one-plate
system before, and with 22
states now requiring only
one plate, the arguments for
keeping two plates no longer
match current technology or
regional practice.â€�
Carlson continued, â€œOpposition
to this bill, primarily
from police organizations, is
based on outdated assumptions
about front plate visibility,
even though modern enforcement
tools overwhelmingly
scan rear plates, which
are illuminated, unobstructed
and consistently readable.
Front plates are frequently
blocked by grills or bumper
geometry and are nearly useless
at high closing speeds,
so keeping them adds cost
and complexity without improving
identification. Studies
have shown no advantage
in law enforcement of states
with two plates vs. states with
one plate.â€�

by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking
her if she supports or opposes

Opponents say that vehicles
that have both front and
rear license plates are more
easily identifiable and improve
vehicle identification
which increases public safety.
They argue that the twoplate
system has worked well
for many years and should
not be changed.
MBTA COMMUNITIES ACT
(SD 2615) â€“ The Senate referred
to the Committee on
Municipalities and Regional
Government a bill that
changes the current law
which requires that an MBTA
community â€œmust have at
least one zoning district of
reasonable size in which
multi-family housing is permitted
as of right and meets
other criteria including minimum
gross density of 15
units per acre; and a location
not more than 1/2 mile from
a commuter rail station, subway
station, ferry terminal or
bus station. No age restrictions
can be applied and the
district must be suitable for
families with children.â€�
Current law also provides
that cities and towns that do
not comply with the MBTA
law would be ineligible for
various state grants to the
municipality. The amendment
would strike that provision
and specifically states
that any MBTA community
that fails to comply with this
law will not lose eligibility for
any state grants.

sure, Sen. Patrick Oâ€™Connor
(R-Weymouth) and Rep. Colleen
Garry (D-Dracut), did not
respond to repeated requests
asking them why they sponsored
the bill.
Amendment supporters
say that the Healey Administrationâ€™s
Executive Office of
Housing and Livable Communities
is not being flexible
and is pulling funding from
some cities and towns that
are not complying. They noted
this hurts cities and towns
which are already struggling
financially.
Amendment opponents
say that current law already
allows some flexibility for
these adjacent communities
or adjacent small towns
by establishing lower capacity
requirements and greater
flexibility over where they
site their districts. They noted
that the Office of Housing
and Livable Communities
currently has the administrative
ability to offer some
flexibility to these communities
and said the amendment
is not necessary. They argue
that the amendment is unfair
to more than 100 communities
that have already done
the work and complied with
the law; and sends the message
that deadlines donâ€™t
mean anything.
HOW LONG WAS LAST

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

immediately preceding the
end of an annual session.
During the week of Sept.
