Wednesday, the License Commission voted 2-1 to grant a temporary Class II Motor Vehicle License to Kenneth LaFauci of Brothers Auto Body, allowing him to sell two used cars at a time on his property. With the vote, the commission is giving LaFauci six months to clear up any property tax issues he has with the City of Revere. LaFauci is currently battling over 70 citations for violations at the business that have been issued by the City of Revere in district court, but his attorney said OUR OFFICE HAS MOVED TO 519 BROADWAY, EVERETT SABATINO INSURANCE AGENCY 519 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 PHONE: (617) 387-7466 FAX: (617) 381-9186 Visit us online at: Rocco Longo, Owner WWW.SABATINO-INS.COM 30 of those have already been dismissed. LaFauci also has several criminal cases on his record. In 2010, he was charged in a fake inspection sticker scheme, and in 2018, he was sentenced to six months in jail for switching vehicle identifi cation numbers. “We are here today at least able to say that the outstanding citations are procedural in nature; there is no substantive violation, and we submit there never was a substantive violation,†said Edward Lonergan, the attorney for LaFauci. LaFauci also had support at Wednesday’s public hearing from several city councillors and neighboring business owners. Lonergan noted that LaFauci has been in business in Revere for 35 years and has an excellent reputation with his customers. “There is a lot of history here,†said Ward 3 Councillor Anthony Cogliandro. “As the councillor for the area and as a fellow business owner, I’m hoping that someone who has been in the city for 35 years is given a fresh start. This man has a family and his employees have families, and I’d like to aff ord him the opportunity to do the right thing.†Councillor-at-Large Dan Rizzo also submitted a letter in support of LaFauci. Commissioner Daniel Occena, Esq. said his biggest issue with granting the license is the potential taxes owed by LaFauci to the city. Lonergan contended that the $32,000 mentioned by Occena was actually a lien placed against the business due to the outstanding citations that are being contested. Occena made a motion to grant a temporary license, with LaFauci back before the commission in 90 days for an update, and the tax issue being resolved to the commission’s satisfaction in six months. “I don’t think that the gentleman should be punished into perpetuity,†said Occena. “I think this gentleman, based on what I understand, has cost himself hundreds of thousands at this point.†Occena said he believes LaFauci should be given the opportunity in good faith to show that he has changed his business practices. “I don’t think that is a wise position,†said License Commission Chair Robert Selevitch, who voted against granting the license. “It is not punishing someone in perpetuity, it is protecting the public. We are not talking about ancient history here … we’re talking very recent history here.†Commissioner Linda Guinasso cast the deciding vote in favor of granting the temporary license. “I really hate to be put in this position; I see both sides,†said Guinasso. But she said that, ultimately, there have never been any complaints from the public about how LaFauci conducts business. “I’d like to give you another chance and see if we can do things the right way. I’m not worried about your customers.†RevereTV Spotlight RTV community coverage of Bocce on the Beach is now playing on the Community Channel in between general programming.

At Tuesday’s School Committee meeting, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dianne Kelly and Public Health Director Lauren Buck outlined the Covid policy for the fast-approaching new school year. “We hope that this guidance meets the goal of keeping kids in school as much as possible safely,†said Buck. “That’s the goal this year in terms of Covid policy. There are still some CDC guidelines that we have to abide by in terms of isolation, and these are baked into the policy.†Buck said there are some new things that will be added into the new school year’s Covid policy, as well as some things that the school will not be continuing from last year. “First of all, for a scenario of anyone who tests positive for Covid, unfortunately the CDC still requires a fi veday isolation, so we will be abiding by that with a fi ve-day isolation from the date of a positive test or the date that symptoms begin,†said Buck. Students and staff who test positive are able to return to school on day six, but they must wear a mask for the next five days. The scenario for people who have been exposed to Covid but haven’t tested positive has changed from last year. “We do not require a quarantine anymore, which is really good,†said Buck. “That means a lot more kids and staff will be able to stay in school. Obviously, the big caveat here is that it is as long as someone is asymptomatic.†If someone is exposed to Covid and is asymptomatic, they will be able to continue to come to school regardless of vaccination status. The next policy the school system is looking to implement at the beginning of the school year is symptomatic testing, which the schools didn’t do last year. “If a symptomatic student or staff member is on site, we want them to be evaluated by the school nurse, who will determine if it is appropriate to have a rapid antigen test,†said Buck. Even if someone tests negative, the student or staff member could still be sent home if the school nurse determines they are symptomatic. “If it is determined that they can stay in school, masking is strongly encouraged until the symptoms are resolved,†said Buck. If there is a positive test, the fi ve days of isolation required under the regular policy will begin. Masking will be optional for the school year, with the exception of students and staff who test positive and must mask for the fi ve days after they come out of isolation. Masking will be encouraged for any students who feel more comfortable wearing masks as well as any students or staff who are immunocompromised or have family members who are immunocompromised. Some of the policies that will not be in eff ect for the coming school year include pool testing, test and stay, and contact tracing. Turco’s letter helps sway Gov. Baker on cannabis equity bill L ast week S.3096, An Act relative to equity in the cannabis industry, became law in Massachusetts after receiving Governor Charlie Baker’s signature; however, Governor Baker decided to veto one section of the bill, Section 26. This section calls for the funding of a study that would determine the benefi ts of allowing students, potentially even elementary schoolers, to consume medical marijuana during the school day. Section 26 has been of paramount concern to Representative Jeff ery Rosario Turco (DWinthrop). Rep. Turco views this section as egregious, dangerous and absurd. “Drugs have absolutely no place at schools or around young children. Period. This is not a fact that requires a study to determine,†said Rep. Turco. “As a parent of six young kids, the idea that we would transition from ‘Just Say No’ to possibly mandating, and therefore normalizing, marijuana usage in our schools is beyond the pale. While I am deeply disappointed this atrocious section made it into the bill, I commend Governor Baker for taking swift and decisive action to remove it.†On August 15 the Massachusetts Senate referred the veto of Section 26 to its Committee on Ways and Means. In its entirely, Section 26 reads: (a) The cannabis control commission, in consultation with the department of elementary and secondary education and the department of public health, shall conduct a study on the possession, administration and consumption of medical marijuana, as defi ned in chapter 94I, at pubJEFFREY TURCO State Representative lic or private schools in the commonwealth as it relates to students who have been issued valid registration cards pursuant to said chapter 94I.

Speaker Clark celebrates passage of historic legislation to lower health care costs, tackle climate crisis and build stronger, green economy O n August 12, Assistant Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Katherine Clark (Fifth District of Massachusetts) celebrated the House’s passage of the Infl ation Reduction Act of 2022. The legislation lowers health care and energy costs for families by capping the out-of-pocket cost of prescription drugs through Medicare, reducing health insurance premiums and creating new clean energy tax credits and incentives. The Infl ation Reduction Act is the largest investment in fi ghting climate change in Congressional history. It is fully paid for by ensuring that the very wealthiest Americans and corporations pay their fair share in taxes. The legislation will also reduce the defi cit by more than $300 billion. “Democrats are lowering costs for everyday Americans while rebuilding a stronger, greener economy,†said Assistant Speaker Clark. “Seniors won’t have to choose between putting food on the table and paying for lifesaving prescriptions. More families will be able to aff ord health care, and fewer Americans will be uninsured. Homes and cars will be cheaper and greener. This legislation is a game changer for working families and seniors, our planet, and our future, and I am thrilled that it’s on its way to President Biden’s desk.†The Infl ation Reduction Act of 2022 will: Expand accessibility and affordability of health care • Extends health insurance premium tax credits, saving 13 million Americans an average of $800 a year and preventing three million people from becoming uninsured • Empowers Medicare to negotiate directly for the price of prescription drugs in 2023 for America’s 64 million enrollees • Reduces the cost of insulin to $35/month for Medicare patients • Caps Medicare patients’ outof-pocket costs at $2,000 per year, with the option to break that amount into affordable monthly payments • Institutes a new “infl ation reREPRESENTATIVE Katherine Clark Assistant Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Fifth District of Massachusetts bate†under Medicare so drug companies can’t take arbitrary and unjustifi ed price increases on products that are not changing year to year;

Baker on cannabis equity bill Dear Governor Baker, I write today urging you to veto Senate bill 3096, An Act relative to equity in the cannabis industry. While I harbor many reservations with this bill and with legalized marijuana generally, section 26 of S.3096 is particularly alarming. Section 26 is so egregious it bears repeating in its entirety: The cannabis control commission, in consultation with the department of elementary and secondary education and the department of public health, shall conduct a study on the possession, administration and consumption of medical marijuana, as defi ned in chapter 94I, at public or private schools in the commonwealth as it relates to students who have been issued valid registration cards pursuant to said chapter 94I. The study shall include, but not be limited to: (i) an examination of policies on the possession, administration and consumption of medical marijuana by students at public and private schools in the commonwealth; (ii) an analysis of existing legal, regulatory and administrative obstacles to possession, administration and consumption of medical use marijuana at public and private schools in the commonwealth; (iii) a survey of available methods of consumption, administration and storage of medical use marijuana at public and private schools; (iv) recommendations on best practices for public and private schools in the commonwealth to ensure that students have access to medical use marijuana while also maintaining a safe school environment for all students; and (v) recommendations on eliminating obstacles and expanding accommodations to possess, administer and consume medical use marijuana at public and private schools in the commonwealth. (emphasis added) I opposed the ballot question allowing for the legalization of marijuana. I continue to believe the legalization effort is misguided and further that the United States government has abdicated its responsibility to faithfully enforce the law in this area. I accept however that the people of the Commonwealth have decided otherwise. That being said, section 26 is a bridge too far to comprehend. Slipped into the conference committee report, in the dark of night and without discussion or debate, this provision presents a clear and present danger to the safety and wellbeing of our school often become distractions for people who are not. That is detrimental to any learning environment, especially one with young and impressionable students. Again, this simply boils down to the following question: would you prefer your child in a classroom with or without other students high on drugs? Drugs have absolutely no JEFFREY ROSARIO TURCO State Representative Nineteenth Suff olk District Revere – Winthrop children. Teachers and school administrators have enough on their plates in a post Covid-19 world without adding state mandated drug use in our schools to their burden. At a time when the Commonwealth and the nation should be directing resources to making our schools safer, section 26 will do the opposite. As a parent of six young children, the idea that we would transition from “Just Say No†to possibly mandating, and therefore normalizing, marijuana use in our schools is beyond the pale. With your veto, you can protect our children from this misguided and dangerous eff ort. I off er the following additional thoughts for your consideration. First and foremost, marijuana is a gateway drug that can lead young people down self-destructive paths. Even if most children are not themselves getting high at school, placing them in an environment with others who are high can only lead to negative outcomes. Students would start to develop the belief, potentially even in elementary school, that doings drugs is completely ok. After all, if the teachers, administrators and nurses do not seem to take issue with some students getting high during the school day, then how bad can drugs really be? Secondly, classrooms featuring students high on marijuana are less productive classrooms than full of sober students. According to the CDC, when people get high they often have trouble focusing, learning and remembering. Their thinking becomes foggy and impaired. They may become paranoid, losing their sense of time and place. In other words, people who are high place at schools or around young children. Period. This is not a fact that requires a study to determine. In fact, it was a universally held piece of common sense up until, apparently, the passage of S.3096. Governor Baker, I implore you to veto section 26, if possible, and if not, the entirety of S.3096. With your veto, you can protect our children from this misguided and dangerous eff ort.

Baker said. “The COVID-19 pandemic underscored long-standing challenges in this area, which is why our administration has made signifi cant investments to increase access through our Behavioral Health Roadmap. The new law signed today will build on that work and affi rms the shared commitment of our administration, the Legislature and our health care community to better support our residents’ behavioral health needs.†“While Massachusetts has made great strides in expanding health coverage, many families still face barriers to accessing the care they need,†said Amy Rosenthal, executive director at Health Care for All. “This is especially true as the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated an already growing behavioral health crisis, especially among young adults and children. The bill also establishes enhanced reporting and monitoring of the behavioral health system and addresses the specifi c needs of children, adolescents and their families. We are pleased that residents will receive the essential care needed to help them thrive at home, in their workplace and in the community.†$11.3 BILLION TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE (H 5151) – The governor signed into law an $11.3 billion transportation and infrastructure package that includes $1.375 billion for Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) modernization and $1.27 billion for non-federally aided roads and bridges. Other provisions include $114 million for airport improvements; $25 million for municipal road pavement improvements; $20 million for municipalities under the Complete Streets Funding Program; $25.5 million for the Mobility Assistance Program; mandating the MBTA to establish a 3-year safety improvement plan with measurable safety objectives; and directing the MBTA to contract with an independent third-party auditor to conduct annual safety audits. Gov. Baker said the legislation supports signifi cant investments in the state’s roads, bridges, railways, transit agencies and environmental infrastructure, including investments made possible by the historic federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law enacted on November 15, 2021. He noted the legislation represents a crucial next step implementing critical infrastructure investments designed to modernize the state’s transportation network while supporting carbon reduction and resiliency goals. THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 2022 toward our climate goals.†“This law builds on existing climate policy and accelerates our transition to local, clean energy, setting us on a course toward a sustainable, healthy future,†said Environmental League of Massachusetts Action Fund Executive Director Casey Bowers. “Recent heatwaves and drought conditions have made the immediate need to reduce emissions and protect vulnerable communities even clearer.†“This new law takes some great “Overall, this legislation represents a crucial next step implementing critical infrastructure investments designed to modernize the state’s transportation network while supporting carbon reduction and resiliency goal,†said Baker. “[It] also includes funding for initial implementation eff orts in support of new East-West passenger rail service. It will also enable us to increase clean energy eff orts, including the expansion of our electric vehicle charging infrastructure to facilitate long- distance travel and provide additional convenient charging options.†CLEAN ENERGY AND REDUCED EMISSIONS (H 5060) – Gov. Baker signed into law legislation that would expand the clean energy industry and reduce emissions from the transportation and building sectors across the state with the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. Baker said he signed the bill to ensure the Bay State retains its standing as a national leader in securing renewable energy. “However, because the Legislature rejected virtually every meaningful amendment I put forth, this bill does not have the same shared sense of purpose that all previous climate legislation embodied, which is unfortunate,†said Baker. “We all know the commonwealth faces signifi cant challenges in dealing with two existential threats—climate change and housing supply and affordability. This bill does not move Massachusetts in the right direction on housing. And the process by which many provisions in this bill are implemented will determine if this bill will make signifi cant progress steps on biomass and offshore wind, but it’s sorely lacking when it comes to environmental justice,†said Staci Rubin, Vice President of Environmental Justice at the Conservation Law Foundation. “For too long, these communities have been overburdened and overlooked when it comes to air quality, access to transit and toxic pollution. We need to put a much larger focus on protecting Environmental Justice neighborhoods and phasing out fossil fuels once and for all when the Legislature reconvenes.†Mass Audubon President David O’Neill said, “This new law will propel the commonwealth’s efforts to meet its climate goals by scaling up off shore wind, stepping on the accelerator for more clean cars and clean energy buildings and making sure we create equitable access to the green jobs of the future.†BENEFITS FOR MILITARY FAMILIES (S 3075) – Gov. Baker signed into law legislation that would support military families who relocate to the Bay State by providing career stability for the spouses of service members and education for their children. Provisions include making it easier for military personnel and their spouses who move to the Bay State to get a Massachusetts professional license, if their job requires one, so that they can continue their civilian careers and provide for their families without interruption; requiring the Commissioner of Education to issue a military spouse a valid certifi cate for teaching if he or she holds a valid teaching license from another state; allowing children of military members to register and enroll in a school district at the same time it is open to the general population by waiving the proof of residency requirement until the student actually begins school; creating a purple-star campus designation for certain schools that are military-kid friendly and show a major commitment to students and families connected to the nation’s military; and requiring that a child or spouse of an active-duty service member in Massachusetts continue to pay the in-state, less expensive tuition rate at state universities even if the service member is assigned to move out of the state. “The [measure] is a truly momentous bill and I am thrilled that the governor has signed it into law for our service members, veterans and military families,†said Sen. John Velis (D-Westfi eld), the Senate Chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Aff airs. “From supporting our military families in their transition to Massachusetts, to creating new benefi ts and services for veterans and National Guard members, this law will ensure that Massachusetts continues to lead the nation in taking care of our service members and their families.†“This is a historic bill,†said Major General Gary Keefe, Adjutant General of the Massachusetts National Guard. “This is most likely the most encompassing military and veterans bill passed in the commonwealth in the last century. This bill recognizes both the sacrifi ce of our military service members, as well as veterans and their families, and it establishes programs that will recruit and retain service members, attract future military missions and continue to provide for our growing veteran population. This bill will make it clear to every state in the republic that Massachusetts is unmatched in its care and support of its military members, veterans, and their families.†MARIJUANA LAWS (S 3096) – Gov. Baker signed into law a bill that makes changes in the cannabis industry including a section that would require the state to put some of its tax and licensing revenue from the sales of marijuana revenue into a newly created Social Equity Trust Fund to provide grants and loans, including forgivable and no-interest loans, designed to assist entrepreneurs and businesses from communities disproportionately harmed by the decades of marijuana prohibition. The measure would also allow municipalities to vote by a local referendum or through a vote of the municipal government for social consumption of marijuana to take place in their community. Supporters explained that opening an average cannabis retail shop can require up to $1.5 million. They noted that since federal cannabis laws prevent these businesses from accessing traditional bank loans, lack of capital can pose an insurmountable barrier. They noted that less than 20 (6 percent) of the 346 marijuana businesses are connected to participants in the Cannabis Control Commission’s current social equity program or economic empowerment entrepreneurs. “I am thrilled to see this legislation become law as we continue to build a budding and more equitable cannabis industry,†said Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro). “Under the new law, the Cannabis Control Commission can establish guardrails on host community agreements to make sure municipalities don’t extort cannabis enterprises. The technical adjustments in the law allow for communities to pursue social consumption sites if they wish. With the signing of [this bill], we better refl ect the intentions behind the voter referenda and assure an equitable and vibrant homegrown cannabis industry.†The vision of the drafters of the legalization initiative to address the harms of the war on cannabis is now more fully realized,†said Will Luzier, former campaign manager for the 2016 marijuana legalization campaign. “The pathways to participate in the cannabis industry for those harmed by the war on drugs are clearer and the prospect of social consumption is now reachable. Cities and towns that have skirted the law by overreaching host community agreements will now be properly policed.†$165.5 MILLION TO MODERNIZE THE STATE’S COURTHOUSE AND COURT TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM AND A CHANGE IN GUN LAWS (H 5163) – The governor signed into law a bill providing $165.5 million to modernize the state’s courthouses and technology system. The measure also includes a section dealing with state’s gun laws. Provisions include $95 million to allow courts to go digital; $35 million to ensure the safety of the courts’ employees and guests; and another $35 million for the technological modernization of court administrative operations. Another key provision included is in response to a recent New York Supreme Court decision in the New York State Rifl e and Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen that took away local police chiefs of signifi cant discretion about who is allowed to possess and carry a fi rearm. The provision amends Massachusetts law to bring gun licensing provisions into compliance with the court decision and to ensure that individuals seeking a license to carry are fi rst interviewed personally by their local police chief. “This bill authorizes up to $165.5 million in spending, which will enable the Judiciary to address information technology needs through future capital investment plans,†said Gov. Baker. “Specifi cally, this bill supports key investments that will enhance the virtual and physical security infrastructure of court facilities, increase the effi ciency of courts systems, modernize administrative processes, and improve court proceedings for the many stakeholders in our justice system.†BEACON | SEE Page 22 ׉ Ú7cassandra://mMmjXMxieS0IYgDb2RxDYPzX3IBbmBprkJFkngHNu7wÍ$"Í`Ì°Í×bþ¸†ÔÙ5⠾׉EÚ THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 2022 Page 21 AAA Service • Lockouts Trespass Towing • Roadside Service Junk Car Removal 617-387-6877 26 Garvey St., Everett MDPU 28003 ICCMC 251976 Discount Services - Raccoons - Squirrel Removal 781-269-0914 Discount Tree Service 781-269-0914 855-GO-4-GLAS We follow Social Distancing Guidelines!       ADVOCATE Call now! 781-286-8500 advertise on the web at www.advocatenews.net     î€î€–î€î€” î˜î„îîŒî—îœ î€¸î–îˆî‡ îŒî•îˆî– î’î˜î‘î—îˆî‡  î‘î–î—î„îîîˆî‡ î–îˆî‡ î˜î—î’ î€³î„î•î—î– î€‰ î„î—î—îˆî•îŒîˆî– î„îîŒîîœ î’îšî‘îˆî‡  î’î“îˆî•î„î—îˆî‡ î–îŒî‘î†îˆ  î•î„î‘îŽ î€¥îˆî•î„î•î‡îŒî‘î’ î€°î€¤ îŒî†îˆî‘î–îˆ î€–î€”î€›î€”î€”   î€ î€«î’î˜î• îˆî•î™îŒî†îˆ  îîˆî•îŠîˆî‘î†îœ îˆî“î„îŒî•î–  îî˜îî…îŒî‘îŠ î€‰ îˆî„î—îŒî‘îŠ î€µîˆî–îŒî‡îˆî‘î—îŒî„î  î’îîîˆî•î†îŒî„î îˆî•î™îŒî†îˆ î„î– î€©îŒî—î—îŒî‘îŠ î‚‡ î•î„îŒî‘ îˆî•î™îŒî†îˆ  îˆî‘îŒî’î• î€¦îŒî—îŒîîˆî‘ îŒî–î†î’î˜î‘î— Professional TREE REMOVAL & Cleanups 24-HOUR SERVICE   î’î‘ î€¦î’î‘î—î•î„î†î—îŒî‘îŠ î€¶î‘î’îš î€³îî’îšîŒî‘îŠ î€±î’ î€­î’î… î—î’î’ î–îî„îî î•îˆîˆ î–î—îŒîî„î—îˆî– î’îîîˆî•î†îŒî„î  îˆî–îŒî‡îˆî‘î—îŒî„î î€î€™î€˜î€™î€î€•î€“ î€ î€³î•î’î“îˆî•î—îœ îî„î‘î„îŠîˆîîˆî‘î— î€‰ îî„îŒî‘î—îˆî‘î„î‘î†îˆ î‹î’î™îˆîîŒî‘îŠ î€‰ î•îˆîî’î™î„î î„î‘î‡î–î†î„î“îŒî‘îŠî€ îîˆî†î—î•îŒî†î„îî€ î€³îî˜îî…îŒî‘îŠî€ î„îŒî‘î—îŒî‘îŠî€ î’î’î‘îŠî€ î„î•î“îˆî‘î—î•îœî€ î•î„îîŒî‘îŠî€ îˆî†îŽî–î€ î€©îˆî‘î†îŒî‘îŠî€ î„î–î’î‘î•îœî€ îˆîî’îîŒî—îŒî’î‘î€ î€ªî˜î—î€î’î˜î—î–î€ î€­î˜î‘îŽ î€µîˆîî’î™î„î  îŒî–î“îˆî•î–î„îî€ î€¦îîˆî„î‘ î€¸î“î–î€ î€¼î„î•î‡î–î€ î€ªî„î•î„îŠîˆî–î€ î€¤î—î—îŒî†î–  î„î–îˆîîˆî‘î—î– î•î˜î†îŽ î‰î’î• î€«îŒî•îˆî€ î’î…î†î„î— î€¶îˆî•î™îŒî†îˆî– Classifiedsfieds     ׉ Ú7cassandra://3M7r4zig_NdvAg-UcwYcQDKfKjZgriBWB-F3xYEtOMMÍ5#Í`Ì°Í×bþ¸†ÔÙ5â ¿×bþ¸†ÔÙ5â ¾Í P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://JSeI1UnqACFXQLF_RZwRkrHrgdKsb3TlI1EKOAbjsiUÎÈxÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://39iLBZHdh6tSOB_enteaxRgyZXfjhx7m6hqNV222_QYÍ—Í`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://FUwV4h1hhrI5ieiFTG4gq8jnAWpEXqg5rrAaF9Vvzp8Í(ÅÍ`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://BdetGaftdX5EDS1XOLwWxwbs5DzSmbtwCpne_rCCSHEÎÝõÍ>Í ÍÅÍñ×bþ¸%†ÔÙ5â טšÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://8XrLxVWkNwU7jnl9h-4fd4bF-Nws2kRkr2kDXfvT9sUÎÔGÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://rPXj5iK-6x2hOt1Yk_6WkKuypkOJi1sMBcQ5QnRDfowÍ—`Í`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://uBbsnflTCWfr5TFg1eAl9oNLe9cbBRczTVSm_gwQnaIÍ0eÍ`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://20cQyY-D-hK_p6tk6qDYMnON61KnxjtD_feW3mEuTygΈD͌͠ÍÅÍñ×bþ¸&†ÔÙ5â ‘× ×bþ¸&†ÔÙ5â ̓Í!Í+9×H½http://www.jrs-properties.com× × Ј׉EÚ©Page 22 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 2022 BEACON | FROM Page 20 “When courts do not have proper communication systems, let alone access to a reliable internet connection, it limits the Judiciary’s ability to serve the people,†said Rep.

It is all about setting the table for more transit-oriented housing in the years and decades ahead— which is not just good housing policy, but good climate and transportation policy, too.†--- Transportation Secretary Mike Kennealy releasing the final set of multi-family zoning rules that half of all municipalities in Massachusetts will soon have to meet if they want to preserve their access to important sources of state funding. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided Copyrighted material previously published in Banker & Tradesman/The Commercial Record, a weekly trade newspaper.
