City Council, Mayor discuss future
use of old Everett High School
By Neil Zolot
he City Council voted
to table a request for
$11,400,000 for improvements,
primarily a new roof,
at the old Everett High School
(548 Broadway) in an irregularly
scheduled meeting on
Wednesday, March 13.
“Something more solid
about what the future of the
space would be would allay
any concerns about future
expenditures,” Councillor-at-Large
Katy Rogers added.
“Some of us are concerned
T
about what issues might come
up in the future. I don’t want
to see an $11 million BandAid,
but look at this as part of
a greater project. It is an asset
to the city and we have great
programming we don’t want
to lose,” a reference to the
preschool, boxing club and
Eliot Family Resource Center
housed there.
Mayor Carlo DeMaria has a
plan to use the money to fi x
the roof and possibly the heating
system if the roof work
comes in under budget and
lease or sell the currently unoccupied
top fl oors to developers,
who would assume responsibility
for its rehabilitation,
and allow the current users
to stay put. “My intention is
to request proposals from developers
for the unoccupied
space in the building,” he said.
“In the current market, reuse
of current parcels is more economical
than new construction.
It’s an asset. I think we can
fi x the asset and see who’s interested.
There’s a lot of signifi -
cance in the building and a lot
of value in it to people. You can
‘build the building.’ We’ll try to
keep it under $11 million, and
money left over can be used
for the heating system and
to remove hazardous material.
A lot of developers would
love to bid on it. I have good
relationships with the building
trades in the state and I’ll
work my contacts.”
The mayor stated that he
was not sure exactly what rehabilitated
space might be
used for, but mentioned it
could be used to house the
Police Dept. when their station
is being repaired or rebuilt
on the current site, and
the auditorium could be restored
and used for public and
private functions. “We have
some good reuses that would
go away,” he stated – if the
building should be closed. “Eliot
couldn’t stay there and the
boxing program keeps kids
off the street,” something acknowledged
by Ward 3 Councillor
Anthony DiPierro.
“It seems like an asset to the
community and gets good use
out of the groups there,” DiPierro
said about the building.
“The basement of City Hall
isn’t large enough for Eliot.”
DiPierro cited a 2019 study
indicating that the cost to
raze the building was estimated
at nearly $11 million. He
asked the mayor what the cost
would be now. “I’d say four
times that,” was the answer.
In Public Comment at the
outset of the meeting, Eliot Director
of Community Engagement
Liliana Patino testifi ed, “A
new location would limit the
services we provide. Even if we
stay in the city, the majority of
our services would be impacted,
including food distribution.”
DiPierro asked what would
become of the pre-K. “You
don’t have it,” DeMaria answered
while adding that 5060
kids out of the 240-260 kids
at the old EHS could be transferred
to the Devens School.

City Council’s Ways & Means baffl ed
by city clerk’s $70K vacation payout
By Neil Zolot
C
ity Clerk Sergio Cornelio
was found to have received
more vacation pay
than the City Council Ways
and Means Subcommittee expected
to fi nd in their recent
scrutiny of local budgets. “It
was in the $70,000 range not
the $30,000 range,” Councillor-at-Large
and Ways and
Means Subcommittee Chairperson
Stephanie Smith said
at the Subcommittee meeting
on Monday, March 18.
“We were expecting a $30,000
payout, but when we looked
into it, he was given additional
weeks.”
Exactly how and when this
happened is a mystery, except
Cornelio’s accumulation
of vacation days was before
a change in the City’s Legislative
Code from saving days
and rolling them over year to
year. Now it’s “use it or lose it.”
“It was so long ago there’s
no documentation, although
it was obviously signed off on
somehow,” Smith surmised.
“Going forward our goal is to
adhere to the Legislative Code
and anything above that to be
documented.”
Cornelio did not attend the
meeting, despite being in City
Hall until at least an hour before
it started. “I’ve been here
so long, I don’t lose my time,”
he stated in a telephone interview
with The Advocate on
Tuesday in reference to his 20
years working for the City, the
last seven as City Clerk. “Use
it or lose it doesn’t apply to
everyone, so last year, I was
bought out of my accumulated
vacation time like other
departments and employees,
i.e. police, fi re, etc. It’s a common
practice and there’s nothing
special in what I got. Every
year there are people who
have been bought out of their
time. Every quarter people are
being bought out.”
In other personnel matters
derived from looking at budgets,
City Chief Financial Offi -
cer Eric Demas reported that
there are vacancies for an Assistant
Solicitor and a Director
of Communications. He
called the Communication Director
position “challenging
to fi ll. It hasn’t been easy, but
the Human Resources Department
has been good at reaching
out to several resources
to spark interest in the position,”
which was posted eight
months ago and has a salary
range of $95,000-115,000.
Some employees at City Hall
have been handling those
tasks themselves; hopefully,
a temporary situation. “I’ve

SOUNDS OF EVERETT
Third Time’s a Charm
For Failed Hack
Poor Priya Tahiliani, Everett’s
ousted Supt. of schools
- no matter how much she
tries, she just can’t find a
friend outside of Boston to
give her a job that she’s not
qualified for. So, when the going
gets tough, Tahiliani gets
going; by filing a lawsuit crying
racism against the city
of Everett, again. Talk about
ungrateful. Over the past six
months, this pampered Boston
hack actually made the
final four in three open supt.
positions in cities such as Melrose
and Natick; but, luckily
for them, she either ran for
the hills when she discovered
she was not only undereducated
but underachieving
as well. Can you imagine
her resume? What municipal
leadership in their right mind
would hire a former school
district leader who gives extra
credit for allowing students
to walk out of classes, embarrassing
a city with baseless
accusations of racism and
discrimination all for a photo
op in the Boston Globe -
and on multiple occasions?So,
realizing no one in Boston,
or anywhere else, wants her
near their schools, Tahiliani
falls back on what she does
best: filing lawsuits against
the only city that would hire
an unqualified hack. I wonder
if the Globe actually bothered
to report this latest legal “cry
wolf” - given that the last two
lawsuits she filed against the
city and the mayor just died
an ugly death. Like her career
in Everett - they just went up
in smoke - like a dumpster
fire. And how could anyone
believe Tahiliani - the ongoing
online university student
seriously - especially after the
US Attorney’s Office and the
Civil Rights Div. of the Dept.
of Justice jointly announced
in 2023 after a 14-month review
found no evidence of
racial or gender discrimination
or sexual harassment by
city employees and officials.
Only Tahiliani and her “media
consultant” at the disgraced
Everett Leader Herald,
corrupt reporter Josh Resnek
would bother to make it
a front-page story. But then
again, Resnek also put electronic
ankle bracelet wearing
thug Anthony Raymond,
who’s barred from attending
city council and school board
meetings for making threats
against city officials on social
media on page one as well.
Pathetic! Just like Tahiliani’s
nerve to believe she’s actually
qualified to run a school district.
The proof is in the pudding,
folks, and the wreckage
she left behind. And now it’s
back to what she knows best
- unemployment and empty
lawsuits. Expect nothing less.
The Circus’ Johnny Pop
– his own worst enemy
It appears the Leader-Herald’s
new “cub news reporter”
John Puopolo just loves being
famous – or maybe infamous
is a better word. When
he’s not droning on about his
hatred for the mayor and the
city or his love for a former
ousted school supt., we’re
finding out about his behavioral
issues with alcohol and
the law. When “Johnny Pop”
isn’t writing hate speech and
making threats with his pal,
Tony “The Electronic Bracelet”
Raymond on their Facebook
pages (there’s three of
them now) against their favorite
targets, “Johnny” is
popping like a weasel at Encore
Boston Harbor. I’m referring
to an Everett Police report
marking Puopolo’s wild
night dating back to the early
morning hours of January
24, 2022 when he was found
“highly intoxicated” and “acting
erratic” according to the
official police report, spewing
profanities at medical
and fire personnel while
they attempted to provide a
medical evaluation. According
to the official police report
obtained by The Advocate,
an Everett Police Detective
assigned to the Gaming
Enforcement Unit, along
DOWN AND OUT: John Puopolo is shown strapped down in the
ambulance stretcher at the Everett Police station in the early
morning hours of Jan. 24, 2022 after a night of alleged drunken
behavior at Encore Boston Harbor. Puopolo was charged with
trespass and disorderly conduct by Everett Police.
with three other detectives,
responded to the East Lobby
elevators at Encore Boston
Harbor for a medical call
where they found Puopolo
“interfering with the public.”
Puopolo was observed as
being highly combative with
police who were attempting
to calm him down while
waiting for medical personnel,
all the while acting
“very erratic and swearing”
at the police and fire detail.
As fire personnel attempted
to help the intoxicated Puopolo,
he began, on several
occasions, grabbing the fire
detail by the arms and yelling
that, “nothing was wrong
with him” and to “f@&k off
as well” and that “he can
do whatever he wants.” After
being warned multiple
times to keep his hands to
himself, Puopolo swiped his
hands at an officer who then
brought him to the ground
and placed him in handcuffs.
Detectives then transported
Puopolo to Everett Police
headquarters for booking
on the charge of disorderly
conduct and trespass.
A second police report stated
that Puopolo was “extremely
uncooperative” during booking
and was placed in a cell.
The report, filed by Patrolwoman
Pagliuca, stated that
Puopolo began kicking and
punching the cell door which
caused the police to monitor
his “assaultive behavior”
on camera. Soon after, Puopolo
was then observed falling
forward where he landed
on his face and stomach
from a standing position. Police
personnel picked Puopolo
off the ground and treated
his bloody face until EMS
arrived to take him to CHA
Hospital in Everett. But Puopolo
wasn’t finished. In the
video, Puopolo can be seen
flicking blood at one of the
police officers who came to
his aid. Pop went the weasel,
folks. Puopolo had to be
placed on a stretcher and
strapped down for his own
protection. And to think this
is the same bad actor who attends
city council and school
committee meetings, wasting
the city government and
taxpayer’s time with his tortuous
drivel in order to intimidate
city officials. Maybe
it’s time the city requests a
breathalyzer test for Johnny
Pop prior to entering a public
meeting. File under: Johnny,

and livelihoods for countless
people throughout Everett,
Chelsea and beyond.
The economic impact will be
great, providing more options
to work outside Everett.
It’s been a priority of mine
and the Mayor’s for years and
the state has known this for a
while now.”
Reaction from the city has
been positive. “The importance
of the Silver Line’s ability
to increase access to jobs and
educational opportunities for
all Everett residents cannot be
understated and I am proud
to endorse this commitment
from the MBTA,” Mayor Carlo
DeMaria said. “The Silver Line
will also provide critical transit
access that will support Everett’s
growth while reducing
reliance on private vehicles.”
“There is a demand for public
transportation in Everett
which needs to be fulfilled,
and extending the Silver Line
is a signifi cant step in providing
residents with access to
transportation options,” Councillor
at-Large and Community
& Business Development &
Public Utilities Subcommittee
member Katy Rogers added.
“Increasing our accessibility
to surrounding communities
improves the quality of
life and opens up opportunities
for the people of Everett.”
“It’s great,” stated Ward 1
Councillor and Community
& Business Development &
Public Utilities Subcommittee
member Wayne Matewsky.
“There’s no place for parking
near several new developments,
so people use public
transportation. It’ll be convenient
for new residents and
everyone who lives in Everett.”
Development and transportation
go hand in hand. Development
creates a need for access
and increases in access
lead to development. People
travel to attractive places,
but if more people can get to
Everett, business will pick up
and grow, which could lead
to redevelopment of Everett
Square and parcels on Lower
Broadway near the Encore
Casino.
“The proposed Silver Line
extension has incredibly positive
impacts for Everett,” Director
of Planning and Community
Development Matt Lattanzi
thinks. “The proposed
route would connect some of
our largest development areas,
as well as the heart of the
City, Everett Square, to Boston,
not only allowing Everett residents
to get into Boston more
easily, but also provide a direct
connection for folks from
outside the City to travel here
more easily. Greater connectivity
increases the possibility
of attracting commercial and
employment sectors to develop
within our borders, increasing
the tax base and providing
greater employment opportunities.”
The
route would run between
Sullivan Square in
Charlestown to the Chelsea
Commuter Rail Station. “It
would extend past the Chelsea
Commuter Rail Station,
hug the commuter rail tracks,
turn right onto Second Street
to Chelsea Street, go through
Everett Square, turn left and
travel down Broadway to
Sweetser Circle, continue onto
Lower Broadway and terminate
at the Sullivan Square
Orange Line Station,” Lattanzi
said.
Described from the other direction,
from Sullivan Square,
the route runs up Medford
Street and across the Mystic
River and Revere Beach Parkway
through Sweetser Circle
onto Broadway and into Everett
Square. From there, it turns
right onto Second Street and
runs back onto Revere Beach
Parkway/Rte. 16 eastbound
and into Chelsea.
Everett once had an MBTA
subway station on Lower
Broadway where it meets
Beacham Street. It seems to
have been the second to last
stop in between a Mystic River
stop and Charlestown. It lasted
from 1919 to 1975, when
the line was reconfi gured to
bypass Everett and run to Malden.
Everything
will take time,
however. “The next step for
the extension is design and
construction,” MBTA spokesperson
Lisa Battiston said. “Reports
estimate $95 million is
needed to fully construct the
extension to Sullivan Square.
A further timeline will depend
on the availability of funding
for design and construction.
Once design is underway, it
is estimated design and construction
will take approximately
fi ve years.
“The MBTA has submitted
a Rebuilding American Infrastructure
with Sustainability
and Equity grant application
requesting $22.4 million
for an estimated project cost
of $28 million to support construction
of a transitory on
Lower Broadway. It will serve
existing service and future
high-frequency service in the
redesign of bus networks, a
signifi cant portion of the extension
route. An announcement
of this funding won’t be
until at least mid-summer. The
MBTA is also looking at other
funding opportunities to begin
preliminary design work
on other portions of the route.”
“It’s not as fast as we’d like,”
Lattanzi confessed.
Infrastructure ranges from
bus stop booths and signage
to widening streets for dedicated
bus lanes. That could involve
acquiring private land or
repurposing public land and
reconfiguring intersections.
“It’s not simply rerouting buses,”
Lattanzi pointed out

Senator DiDomenico and Colleagues Pass
Bill to Transform Early Education and Care
DiDomenico priority would expand accessible,
affordable, and high-quality care across the state
OSTON — Senator Sal DiDomenico
joined his colleagues
in the Massachusetts
Senate to unanimously pass
legislation to make early education
and care more accessible
and aff ordable for families
across Massachusetts. DiDomenico
has championed
signifi cant investments in early
education and childcare
throughout his entire career,
and he was proud to speak
on the Senate fl oor about this
transformational legislation.
The EARLY ED Act—An Act
B
ensuring affordability, readiness
and learning for our
youth and driving economic
development—takes transformative
steps to improve the
aff ordability and sustainability
of childcare programs by making
the state’s Commonwealth
Cares for Children (C3) operational
grant program permanent,
expanding eligibility for
the state’s subsidy program
and capping subsidy recipients’
childcare costs at 7 per
cent of family income, and
boosting compensation for
educators by creating a career
ladder and providing scholarships
and loan forgiveness.
“From my first day in the
Senate I have been pushing for
expanded access to early education
and increasing staff salaries
to ensure educators can
earn a good living,” said Senator
Sal DiDomenico, Vice Chair
of the Joint Committee on Education.
“This critical legislation
will drastically expand access
to aff ordable, high-quality,
early education and childcare
and deliver significantly
better pay and benefi ts for
early educators. I am proud to
support this bill which helps
move our state one step closer
to guaranteeing every child
will receive world-class education
from childhood through
adulthood. We must get this
bill over the finish line and
keep our state a livable and
welcoming home for families
of all incomes. I want to thank
all of the advocates, Senate
President Karen Spilka, Senator
Jason Lewis, Senator Susan
Moran, Senator Robyn Kennedy,
and all my colleagues for
their tireless eff orts to prioritize
this vital proposal.”
“An equitable and competitive
Commonwealth is one in
which every child and family
has access to aff ordable quality
early education,” said Senate

ly education and care.”
“With the passing of this legislation,
the Senate has reaffi
rmed its commitment to an
ambitious and transformative
investment in Early Education
and Care (EEC). I want
to thank my colleagues and
the Senate President for her
leadership in wisely continuing
these investments in quality
and accessible early childhood
education for all. The
onset of the COVID pandemic
showed just how important
these stabilizing grants were
to early childhood programs,
who otherwise would have
been unable to sustain operations.
We will always do whatever
we can do assist working
families by making permanent
investments in early education
and childcare initiatives
in the Commonwealth,”
said Senator Michael J. Rodrigues
(D-Westport), Chair
of the Senate Committee on
Ways and Means.
By extending access to
high-quality education and
care to families who currently
lack access because of cost
or availability, the bill seeks to
set children up for future success
and drive the Massachusetts
economy forward.
The bill would make the
state’s C3 grants permanent,
which provides monthly payments
directly to early education
and care providers.
The grants, which provide
monthly payments to more

than 92 per cent of early education
and care programs
across the Commonwealth,
have become a national model
thanks to their success at
keeping programs’ doors open
during the pandemic, reducing
tuition costs for families,
increasing compensation for
early educators, and expanding
the number of childcare
slots available.
The legislation improves affordability
by expanding eligibility
for childcare subsidies
to families making up to
85 per cent of the state median
income (SMI), which is
$124,000 for a family of four.
It eliminates cost-sharing fees
for families receiving subsidies
who are below the federal
poverty line, and caps
cost-sharing fees for all other
families receiving subsidies
at seven percent of their income,
putting millions of dollars
back into families’ pockets.
Finally, the bill paves the way
for expanding the subsidy program
to families making up to
125 per cent SMI, or $182,000
for a family of four, when future
funds become available.
The legislation provides
much-needed support for educators
by directing the Department
of Early Education
and Care (EEC) to establish
a career ladder with recommended
salaries. This career
ladder will help increase salaries
in this historically underpaid
fi eld. The bill would also
make scholarship and loan
forgiveness programs for early
educators permanent, as
well as direct the state to explore
more innovative ways
to develop this crucial workforce.
Notably,
the bill would also
create an innovative public-private
matching grant pilot program,
which would incentivize
employers to invest in new
early education and care slots,
with priority given to projects
serving families with lower income
and those who are located
in childcare deserts. In
addition, the bill tasks the Administration
with completing
a study to further analyze
ways to incentivize or require
employers to partner with
the state to expand access to
high-quality and affordable
early education and care.

“We’re not trying to evict
anyone or end programming,”
City Council President
Robert Van Campen reacted.
The building is in Ward 5,
prompting him to cede the
president’s gavel to Councillor-at-Large
Stephanie Smith
for the discussion.
Van Campen also wanted
to know what the cost of a
retrofi t would be to use currently
unused space as public
school classrooms to alleviate
overcrowding in the schools.
“That’s the open question,” he
feels. “We’ve got this white elephant
of the space issue in
the schools and the old EHS
and the former Pope John
High School underutilized. A
tremendous amount of opportunity
is being lost in those
two buildings.”
“Could we use space for
classrooms?” DeMaria responded
rhetorically. “I’m
open to that, but there will be
a cost. I don’t want to, but I’d
rather do that than use Pope
John. Using Pope John will
cost $80 million and I’m trying
to limit the amount of money
were spending. I’d rather get it
to a developer who pays taxes
and repurpose it for housing
for seniors and veterans and
pay the note off .”
Ward 6 Councillor Peter Pietrantonio
later asked if part
of the old EHS could be torn
down, while leaving other
parts for the current users to
use, and Pope John could be
used to relieve overcrowding,
also promoting DeMaria’s
response about associated
costs.
Ultimately, he wants a new
High School to be built and to,
presumably, convert the current
one to a Middle School
and move grades 6-8 out of
neighborhood schools. That
process could take years, if
it happens at all, at a cost
of $500 million or more, although
the city would receive
some help from the state.
Everett is one of the very
few school systems with kindergarten
to 8th grade neighborhood
schools, although
at one time the Parlin School
was a Junior High. The 2019
closure of Pope John and the
age of the old EHS prompted
the building of the current
High School in 2007 and
eventually led to K-8 neighborhood
schools.
Looming over all this like
a Sword-of-Damocles is the
fact that insurance companies
won’t cover the building
unless it’s repaired and
the window of opportunity
is short. “Current eff orts are
no longer suffi cient to continue
to insure the building and
the policy expires in January
2025,” DeMaria reported. “We
could continue patching, but
the insurance company said
you can’t. You have to repair
the roof. It’s a recruitment being
imposed on us. All I’m asking
is to keep the insurance
and keep programs running.
I believe residents who rely
on the space should continue
to have the option of accessing
the services they need.
Now residents don’t have to
go outside the city for those
services. This is a one-time
ask. Do I need more money
to maintain the building? No.
I won’t come to you for more
money unless you want to use
it for another purpose.”
“We have 10 months to fi gure
out if the old EHS is part
of our plan,” Van Campen offered,
to which Director of Facilities
Maintenance Angelo
Febbo responded, “If you miss
this window, prices will go up.
We won’t be able to begin the
work in June and you can’t do
a roof project in the winter.”
As Smith tried to wind
things down, DiPierro noted
that Councillor-at-Large John
Hanlon, Ward 1 Councillor
Wayne Matewsky and Ward
2 Councillor Stephanie Martins
were not at the meeting.
“We owe it to our colleagues
not here that they be part of
this discussion and to tour the
upper fl oors,” he said, in reference
to a lower-fl oors-only
tour members took Monday,
March 4.
DeMaria agreed.
“You
should,” he said, while mentioning
that the members
will have to fill out liability
forms.

that CHA genuinely respects,
values and champions the diversity
of its workforce. The
methodology and analysis,
which was completed by research
firm Plant-A Insights,
also included interviews with
HR professionals, analysis of
employer demographic data,

survey of more than
220,000 U.S.-based workers
yielding 1.5 million company
reviews.

healthcare system and a Harvard
teaching hospital, CHA
has received numerous honors,
including being recognized
for diversity, inclusivity
and workforce excellence. The
organization recently received
the top score as a “LGBTQ+

on the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation’s Healthcare
Equality Index. Other recent
recognition includes:
· Named the #1 Hospital in
Massachusetts for Community

O
n Saturday, March 30,
musician and raconteur
Jeff Snow will combine music,
stories and a bit of history
from Scotland, Ireland
and England into a free concert
event for Everett Public
Libraries patrons. Jeff Snow is
a talented multi-instrumentalist
who shares the music,
and the stories behind the
music, of Scotland, Ireland
and England.
Growing up in a home
where old Scottish folk songs
were the everyday sounds,
Jeff developed an early love
for Celtic music. Much of the
history of these lands was
preserved in song. You will
see singing, laughing, lots
of smiles and perhaps a few
tears as we travel through
time.
There is no better example
of this than the story of
John Hunt. In 1855, at the
age of 13, John Hunt left his
family’s home in Kilkelly, Ireland,
and came to the United
States. He never returned
to Ireland and never saw his
menico, Senator Robyn Kennedy
and all the members of
the Massachusetts Senate for
your action today on the EARLY
ED Act. We know that fulfilling
our vision will require
a sustained effort and careful,
thoughtful consideration.
We look forward to working
with the Legislature and the
Healey-Driscoll Administration
to pass comprehensive
legislation this session and
set a clear path for children
and families in the Commonwealth.”
“The
EARLY ED Act establishes
a comprehensive
framework needed to build
affordable care options for
families; significantly better
pay and benefits for earfamily
again. The ballad of
“Kilkelly, Ireland” tells the story
of the Hunt family.
Jeff’s music has been described
as “quiet and relaxing.”
Much of it is, but every
once in a while, he breaks
out and the foot stomping
begins. Each concert is a wee
bit different and adapted to
the response and interest of
the audience.
More about Jeff: In concert
Jeff plays the guitar, autoharp
and bouzouki. He can
also find his way around a
drum set and most of the
percussion family. Jeff is a
private guitar teacher and
wrote a teaching method
called Guitar Basics & Beyond.
He was featured in
the December 2006 issue
of Acoustic Guitar Magazine
and is a contributing writer
for Acoustic Guitar and Autoharp
Quarterly Magazine.
When not singing, playing
or teaching, Jeff can often
be found taking photographs,
on a golf course or
a beach.
ly educators; a stable source
of funding for providers; and
high-quality programs and
services for children. MAAEYC
is thrilled to be able to celebrate
the Massachusetts Senate’s
clear commitment to
early childhood education today,
and every day. We look
forward to continuing to advocate
on behalf of all young
children across the Commonwealth
alongside our colleagues
and friends,” said Patty
Sinclair, President of the
Massachusetts Association
for the Education of Young
Children.
Having been passed by the
Senate, the legislation now
heads to the House of Representatives
for consideration.

20 percent of the loan is
forgiven each year, provided
that the borrower uses the
home as their only residence.
After five years, the loan will
convert to a grant and the
loan would not need to be
paid back. However, if the
home is sold, refinanced or
the ownership is transferred
during the five-year period,
the prorated portion of the
loan will be due and must be
paid back.
“Homeownership, particularly
among working-class
families, has a massive barrier
to entry, made increasingly
difficult as housing costs outpace
wage increases,” said Director
of Planning and Development
Matt Lattanzi. “Everett’s
new First-Time Homebuyer
Down Payment Assistance
Program helps to create
a pathway for homeownership,
allowing our residents
to remain in the City longterm
while they build equity
in their residence.”

Who Should Be Screened
for Lung Cancer?
Dear Savvy Senior,
Who should be screened
for lung cancer and how it’s
covered by Medicare? I used
to smoke but quit many
years ago and am wondering
if I need to be tested.
Just Turned 65
Dear Just Turned,
Even if you haven’ t
touched a cigarette in decades,
you could still be
due for an annual lung cancer
screening, based on new
recommendations from the
American Cancer Society
(ACS).
The new guidelines state
that adults ages 50 to 80
who currently smoke or
used to smoke the equivalent
of one pack a day for 20
years should get an annual
low -dose computed tomography
scan (also called a CT
scan), no matter how long
ago you quit.
ACS guidelines previously
said that those who quit
15 or more years ago were
in the clear. But new studies
have shown that expanding
screening eligibility
saves lives, even among
people who quit smoking
years earlier.
Early Detection Saves Lives
Lung cancer is the deadliest
cancer in the United
States. According to the
American Cancer Society,
an estimated 234,580 new
cases are expected to be diagnosed
in 2024, and about
125,070 Americans will die
from the disease.
While lung cancer can occur
in anyone at any age, cigarette
smoking is the top risk
factor and is linked to about
80 to 90 percent of lung cancer
deaths, and most people
diagnosed with the disease
are age 65 or older.
What makes lung cancer
especially tricky is that it’s
often symptomless until it’s
at an advanced stage, when
it’s harder to treat. Early deGREATEST

hospital campuses, a network
of primary care and specialty
practices and the Cambridge
Public Health Dept. CHA patients
have seamless access
to advanced care through the
system’s affi liation with Beth
tection can lead to a 20 to 25
percent improvement in survival
rates, resulting in fewer
deaths from lung cancer.
But a 2022 report from
the American Lung Association
found that only 5.8
percent of people eligible
for lung cancer screening in
the U.S. get screened, and
the screening rate is as low
as 1 percent in some states.
Screening & Coverage
If you fall into the population
eligible for a lung
cancer screening, start by
speaking with your doctor,
even if it’s been a long time
since you smoked.
Medicare Part B will cover
lung cancer screenings with
a low-dose CT scan once a
year for people ages 50 to
77 who are current smokers
or quit in the last 15 years
and have a 20-pack-year
history. Patients must have
an order from their doctor
or health care provider and
should not have symptoms
of lung cancer.
A low-dose CT scan is a
noninvasive test where you
lie down and hold your
breath while being moved
through a doughnut-shaped
X-ray machine. The scan
takes several X-ray images
of the lungs and can help to
identify possible abnormalities
in the lung tissue.
There are some potential
risks with this screening, including
the possibility of
false positives, which can
lead to more scans or invasive
procedures. According
to the American Lung Association
about 12 to 14 percent
of lung cancer screening
scans will have a false
positive, which is about the
same rate as with mammograms.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon
Hill Roll Call records local
senators’ votes on roll calls from
the week of March 11-15. There
were no roll calls in the House
last week.
EARLY EDUCATION AND CARE
CHANGES (S 2697)
Senate 40-0, approved and
sent to the House a bill aimed at
making early education and care
money more accessible and affordable
for young families across
the Bay State. The bill would make
high-cost state grants for early
education and care providers
permanent; increase the income
threshold to make more families
eligible for childcare subsidies;
and establish recommended salary
and benefit guidelines for early
childhood teachers commensurate
with K-12 public school
teachers.
Under current law subsidies
are limited to households whose
incomes equal up to 50 percent
of the state median income, or
$73,000. The bill would raise the
eligibility threshold to 85 percent
of the state median income,
or $124,000 for a family of four.
“Access to high-quality, affordable
early education and childcare
is essential for the healthy
development of young children,
as well as for the economic
well-being of working families
and employers in the commonwealth,”
said Sen. Jason Lewis
(D-Winchester), lead sponsor and
Senate Chair of the Committee on
Education. “With the passage today
of the Early Ed Act, Massachusetts
is demonstrating national
leadership in addressing the broken
early education and childcare
system in our country.”
“From my first day in the Senate,
I have been pushing for expanded
access to early education
and increasing staff salaries to ensure
educators can earn a good
living,” said Sen. Sal DiDomenico
(D-Everett). “This critical legislation
will drastically expand access
to affordable, high-quality, early
education and childcare and deliver
significantly better pay and
benefits for early educators. I am
proud to support this bill which
helps move our state one step
closer to guaranteeing every
child will receive world-class edBeacon

ucation from childhood through
adulthood. We must get this bill
over the finish line and keep our
state a livable and welcoming
home for families of all incomes.”
“An equitable and competitive
commonwealth is one in which
every child and family has access
to affordable quality early education,”
said Senate President Karen
Spilka (D-Ashland). “At the same
time, we must recognize the incredible
work of the providers
who are shaping the minds and
hearts of our earliest learners. Today
I’m proud that the Massachusetts
Senate is once again taking
action to lower costs for families,
open up more opportunities for
children, increase pay for our early
educators and make support
for providers permanent so they
can keep their doors open and
thrive for years to come.
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)
Sen. Sal DiDomenico
Yes
CONSIDER TAX CREDIT FOR
COMPANIES THAT PROVIDE EARLY
EDUCATION AND CARE (S
2697)
Senate 7-32, rejected an
amendment that would require a
study which would make recommendations
on employer-supported
early education and care
benefits, to include possible creation
of a tax credit for employers
that provide these early education
and care benefits to their
employees.
Amendment supporters said
this amendment does not create
a tax credit but simply requires
a study of the possibility of one.
They said that all options should
be looked into and put on the table
in order to help support employers
that provide childcare.
“The
bill already includes a new competitive
grant program to incentivize
employers
to invest in
additional early education and
care slots for their employees,”
responded Sen. Jason Lewis who
opposed the amendment. “Furthermore,
a federal tax credit has
been available to employers since
2001 and has proven ineffective
in expanding access to affordable
early education and care for
workers.”
GOP Minority Leader Sen. Bruce
Tarr (R-Gloucester), the sponsor of
the amendment, did not respond
to repeated requests by Beacon
Hill Roll Call to comment on his
amendment and its rejection.
(A “Yes” vote is for the amendment
that would include the possibility
of tax credits in the study.
A “No” vote is against the amendment.)

GOV. MAURA HEALEY MOVES
TO PARDON MISDEMEANOR
MARIJUANA POSSESSION – Gov.
Healey has issued an executive
order that would pardon misdemeanor
marijuana possession
convictions that occurred in
Massachusetts before March 14,
2024. If approved by the Governor’s
Council at its upcoming
March 27 meeting, the pardons
will apply to hundreds of thousands
of people who were convicted
of the offense which is no
longer an offense. The Bay State
decriminalized marijuana possession
in 2008 and then legalized
it on a ballot questions in 2016.
In October 2022, President
Biden issued a presidential proclamation
that pardoned many
federal and D.C. offenses for simple
marijuana possession. In December
2023, he expanded that
pardon to include more offenses
and issued a call for governors to
take action to pardon marijuana
convictions in their states.
“Nobody should face barriers to
getting a job, housing or an education
because of an old misdemeanor
marijuana conviction
that they would not be charged
for today,” said Healey. “We’re taking
this nation-leading action as
part of our commitment to using
the clemency process to advance
fairness and equity in our criminal
justice system. We’re grateful for
President Biden’s leadership on
this at the federal level and proud
to answer his call to take action in
the states.”
“Marijuana laws have significantly
changed over the past
decade, and it’s essential that
our criminal justice system adjusts
with them,” said Lt. Gov.
Kim Driscoll. “Gov. Healey’s proposed
pardon represents an important
step toward righting historic
wrongs, particularly around
our country’s misguided War on
Drugs. We thank the Governor’s
Council for their careful consideration
of this recommendation
and look forward to continuing
our progress to make Massachusetts
a more fair and equitable
home for all.”
“Because of this pardon recommendation,
many people in
Massachusetts may get a second
chance,” said Carol Rose, Executive
Director of the ACLU of Massachusetts.
“It means people will
no longer be punished for behavior
that is now legal in our state,
and will face fewer barriers to
housing, jobs, education, student
loans, and stability. We thank Gov.
Healey for her leadership on this
life-changing issue.”
BAN EMPLOYERS FROM ASKING
FOR CREDIT REPORTS (H 1434) -
The House approved and sent to
the Senate legislation that would
prohibit employers from obtaining
the credit reports of existing
or potential employees except in
certain circumstances including
hiring for a position that requires
national security clearance; a position
for which a person is required
by federal or state law to
obtain a consumer report; and
some executive or managerial
positions at a financial institution.
The [bill] reduces barriers to
employment by limiting the use
of personal credit reports in the
hiring process,” said sponsor former
Duxbury representative Josh
Cutler who is now Gov. Maura
Healey’s Undersecretary of Apprenticeship,
Work-based Learning
and Policy in the Executive Office
of Labor and Workforce Development.
”Credit scores were
never intended to be used for employment
purposes and pre-employment
credit checks can create
needless barriers for otherwise
qualified workers. Eleven
other states already taken similar
steps.”
Sen. Mike Barrett (D-Lexington),
the Senate sponsor of the
bill, did not respond to repeated
requests from Beacon Hill Roll
Call to comment on the bill and
its passage.

ACT (H 3248) – The House gave
initial approval to a bill that applies
the federal law known as the
Native American Graves Protection
and Repatriation Act to any
museums and state agencies that
receive state or local funding in
the state of Massachusetts.
The federal law, according to
the National Park Service’s website,
requires that federal agencies
and museums receiving federal
funds take inventory of Native
American human remains, funeral-related
and sacred objects
and provide written summaries
of other cultural items. The agencies
and museums must consult
with Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations to attempt
to reach agreements on the repatriation
or other disposition of
these remains and objects. Once
lineal descent or cultural affiliation
has been established, and
in some cases the right of possession
also has been demonstrated,
lineal descendants, affiliated
Indian tribes or affiliated Native
Hawaiian organizations normally
make the final determination
about the disposition of cultural
items.
Co-sponsors of the bill, Reps.
Dave Rogers (D-Cambridge) and
David Biele (D-South Boston) did
not respond to repeated requests
by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment
on their proposal.
ASSAULT A TRANSIT WORKER
(H 4355) – The House gave
initial approval to a bill that imposes
a prison sentence of between
90 days and 2.5 years or a
fine of between $500 and $5,000
on a person who assaults a transit
worker while the transit worker
is performing his or her duties.
The measure also expands
the definition of assault to cover
flinging a bodily substance including
blood, saliva, mucous, semen,
urine or feces.
“Before the Carmen’s Union
approached me with this issue,
I had no idea how bad these experiences
were,” said sponsor Rep.
Joe McGonagle (D-Everett). “Seeing
the statistics, hearing the stories,
it is very hard to ignore. It is
imperative that our transit workers
are able to perform their jobs
safely, knowing they have support
and protection.”
$500 STIPEND FOR NON-PROFIT
BOARD MEMBERS (H 4358) –
The House gave initial approval
to a bill that amends a current law
which provides that a non-profit
group lose its civil liability protection
if it pays any amount of stipend
to a board member. The bill
would allow the non-profit to retain
its civil liability protection as
long as the stipend is not more
than $500.
Sponsor Rep. Alice Peisch
(D-Wellesley) noted that federal
law currently allows this $500
stipend. “This change would allow
nonprofits to provide board
members with this modest stipend,
facilitating their service
and improving board representation,”
said Peisch.
DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES
(H 4429) – The House gave initial
approval to a bill that would
make some changes in the current
state laws about debt collection
practices.
The measure includes increasing
from 85 percent to 90 percent
the percentage of a person’s
wages that is protected from garnishment.
Another provision reduces
from the current 12 percent
to 3 percent the maximum
interest rate that can be charged
for judgements issued after 2024.
Supporters said the bill would
help people to eventually pay off
their debts without being overburdened
by them and will ensure
that no one in Massachusetts
will be imprisoned for failure to
pay a consumer debt.
“The [measure] creates common-sense
consumer protections
to prevent wage garnishment,
reduce interest rates on
debts and keep more money in
the pockets of working families,”
said co-sponsor Rep. Christine
Barber (D-Somerville.)
Co-sponsor Rep. Tram Nguyen
(D-Andover) did not respond to
repeated requests by Beacon Hill
Roll Call asking her to comment
on the passage of her bill.
SEAL EVICTION RECORDS (H
4356) – The House gave initial approval
to a bill that would allow
a person with certain eviction records,
including no-fault eviction,
eviction for non-payment of rent,
fault eviction or eviction resulting
in dismissal or judgment in favor
of the defendant, to petition for
the sealing of those records under
certain circumstances.
Supporters said the measure
is aimed at providing individuals
with certain eviction records opportunities
to seal those records
under specific circumstances and
promotes housing opportunity
and mobility by reducing barriers
faced due to past evictions.
“I believe that everyone deserves
a fair chance to access stable
housing and rebuild their lives
without being haunted by past
mistakes,” said Senate sponsor
Sen. Lydia Edwards (D-Boston).
“The … bill isn’t just about sealing
eviction records. It’s about offering
hope and opportunity to individuals
and families facing housing
insecurity. By giving people

“Consumer skepticism of autonomous
