Mayor endorses Yes
on Question 3
Initiative supports family-owned small businesses and
customer convenience without sacrifi cing safety
alden Mayor Gary Christenson
has announced
his support for the approval of
Question 3 on Novemberâ€™s ballot.
The question would update
Massachusettsâ€™s liquor laws
to enhance consumer convenience
while protecting small
businesses. A yes vote on Question
3 would modernize state
laws to allow for the safe expansion
of alcohol licenses, allow
valid out-of-state IDs to be
relied upon by a retailer of alcohol
beverages and provide best
practice fi xes to the current system
to prevent illegal sales.
â€œWe thank Mayor Christenson
for voicing his support for
Question 3,â€ said Rob Mellion of
the 21st Century Alcohol Retail
Reform Committee. â€œA yes vote
on Question 3 provides for the
changes that family-owned alcohol
retail stores need to fairly
compete with large corporations
that are mostly headquartered
outside of Massachusetts,
while also benefi tting adult consumers.â€

Question 3: Question
3 calls for the state to progressively

a company or individual is allowed
to hold, going from nine
to 18. Most states allow three
to five full liquor licenses per
merchant, and Massachusettsâ€™s
number would be set at seven.
This would signifi cantly increase
consumer convenience when
shopping.
Additionally, the ballot question
also would allow valid outof-state
IDs to be relied upon
by a retailer of alcohol beverages,
as they are allowed in every
other state in the country and
already are permitted in Massachusetts
for the sale of cannabis.
Question 3 will appear on the
ballot with the title â€œChanges to
Alcohol Retail Licensing Initiative.â€

50 Million Reasons to Vote for Dombroski for State Senate
By Ed Dombroski, Candidate for State Senate, Fifth Middlesex District
O
n a gray, drizzly Monday
morning in mid-October
I stood outside Malden High
School talking with teachers
who were then holding signs
and on strike, seeking a new
contract. Of the many conversations
I had that day, there was
one term that dominated nearly
all of them â€“ â€œChapter 70.â€ This
reference, Chapter 70, is the section
of the law that provides
school funding to cities and
towns across Massachusetts, using
a pre-determined formula.
And, that formula is broken. Especially
for Malden, a community
that I believe is getting shortchanged
compared to many
other communities.
Later that same night I took
the stage in the only debate
my opponent, Sen. Jason Lewis,
would agree to participate
in. During our limited 60 minutes,
I spent much of the time
focused on the fact that the
Chapter 70 school funding
â€œformulaâ€ in the current state
budget only provides Malden
$54 Million in school funding
for 6,101 enrolled students.
In comparison, Chelsea is receiving
$104 Million in funding
despite educating 27 fewer
students. And, Revere is receiving
$84 Million for about
1,000 more students than Malden.
While all three communities
are not exactly the same,
there is enough similarity between
them to expect fairly
comparable state aid.
Malden is one of the most diverse
communities in Massachusetts.
In fact, Malden High
School consistently ranks as
one of the top two most diverse
public-school communities
of the 351 cities and towns
across Massachusetts. Maldenâ€™s
racial, cultural, and economic diversity
creates unique challenges
to ensure every studentâ€™s distinct
needs are properly met.
And, with these challenges often
come the need for additional
resources.
Yet, Maldenâ€™s school funding
allocation is $50 Million
less than Chelsea and $30 million
less than Revere. This really
means one thing â€“ Malden
is getting short-changed. Malden
only receives about onehalf
of what Chelsea does per
student and only about twothirds
of what Revere receives
per student. School Department
budgets drive any city or townâ€™s
overall budget. So, when state
aid is insuffi cient to cover education
spending, who is forced to
make up the shortfall? Yes, you,
the Malden taxpayer.
ably budget in a way that ensures
fi scal responsibility, shows
respect for our educators, and
prioritizes education. Iâ€™m ready
to tackle this school funding
imbalance that is having a crippling
eff ect on Malden and am
dedicated to doing all that I can
to get it right.
As your next state Senator, Iâ€™m
committed to fi ghting for you
and the Malden community on
this issue and your other priorities.
You deserve someone who
will be your strong voice on Beacon
Hill, work hard to fi x what is
broken, and deliver meaningful
results. Thatâ€™s what you expect,
and deserve, in your next
state Senator.
Iâ€™m asking for your vote on
Tuesday, November 8th.

Ed Dombroski
Candidate for State Senate, Fifth Middlesex District
Throughout this campaign
Iâ€™ve spoken with thousands of
residents who say the city is
simply becoming more unaffordable
to live in as property
taxes increase. It doesnâ€™t need
to be this way. My opponent,
Jason Lewis, often tries to take
credit for reforming the Chapter
70 school funding formula in
his role on the Joint Committee
on Education in the Legislature.
But, these huge diff erences in
school funding show Sen. Lewis
has not fought for Malden, the
only city he represents of these
three. After 13 years in the Legislature
my opponent has had
plenty of time to fi ght for more
school funding for Malden and
a better-allocated Chapter 70
formula. But, as this latest budget
confirms, he hasnâ€™t delivered
for you.
The Chapter 70 funding allocation
needs to be fi xed. The alternative
is rising property taxes
and fewer resources for our students,
teachers, and schools. As
the latest teacher contract negotiation
showed, the City needs
to have the resources to sustainGet

Maura Healey Endorses State Senator Jason Lewis for Re-election
B
OSTON, MA â€“ State Senator
Jason Lewis is proud to be
endorsed for re-election by Massachusetts
Attorney General
Maura Healey. Healey is also the
Democratic nominee and frontrunner
to be the next Governor
of the Commonwealth.
â€œIâ€™m proud to endorse Senator
Jason Lewis for re-election
because we can count on him
to advocate for strong public
schools and work to grow our
economy,â€ said Attorney General
Maura Healey. â€œIâ€™m looking forward
to partnering with him to
deliver results and make housing,
healthcare, and childcare
more aff ordable for all.â€
â€œMaura Healey has been incredibly
eff ective as our Attorney
General and Iâ€™m thrilled at
the prospect of her serving as
our next Governor,â€ said State
Senator Jason Lewis. "We have
built a strong relationship and
Iâ€™m very much looking forward
to working together to expand
opportunities for all our residents
and continue to tackle
the challenges facing our communities.â€
Senator
Lewis serves as the
Senate Chair of the Education
Committee, and led the eff ort
to pass the Student Opportunity
Act, landmark legislation
that dramatically increased state
funding for our public schools

have the resources they
need to thrive. Senator Lewis
was also named a Bostonian of
the Year by the Boston Globe in
2018 for his leadership in creating
the strongest Paid Family &

and what look like arborvitae.
In September of 2019, the pole
still stood, surrounded by heavy
equipment during construction
of what would shortly become
the outside dining area for 110
Grill. One year later, in November
of 2020, the fl agpole was
gone â€“ hasnâ€™t been seen since.
Letâ€™s get it backâ€¦ Old Glory
once again fl ying proudly high
above Maldenâ€™s sweetest new
crossroads. What a glorious sight
that would be! Perhaps I can enlist
City of Malden Strategy and

this. Call in a favor or two and
help restore this Malden point
of pride for future generations?

the news lately, old friend Tina
Gaudette (MHS Class of â€™75)
reached out to me for her Orange
Line Throwback Memory.
â€œBack in the day, a snowstorm
buried the track between Wellington
and Sullivan ...we were
stuck on the train long enough
Flagpole at Commercial & Centre Streets circa 2012
to start feeling the cold. We
were escorted out the back
door, over the 3rd rail and into
some huge building they must
have used. They fed us cheapo
cheese sandwiches and drinks
and then drove us home on a
bus one by one to our doors. I
remember thinking that these
guys are THE BOMB!â€

driving force behind The Delfonics,

during the Summer of 1970,
you no doubt heard William
Hartâ€™s â€œDidnâ€™t I (Blow Your Mind

Philly soul was exploding across
the world, and this off ering was
leading the way on every transistor

The 1965 undefeated Malden
Catholic football team was
a team for the ages. I am still on
schedule for a sit down with
Steve Wishoski to continue the
discussion on this team and
dissect it a little bit more. In the
meantime, I have this testimonial
submitted by a friend, Paul
Worth.
When the Levines bought on
Charles Street in 1963, our nextdoor
neighbors at the time, the
Worths and the Mahoneyâ€™s,
greeted us like long lost kinsman.
As time marched on, we
remained friends until the inevitable
changing of guards. Like
the Garritys, Oâ€™Connors, Govers,
and Longs before them,
the Worths/Mahoneys pulled
up stakes and new friends were
made. Paul Worth, a few years
older than me but like his sisters
Mary and Clare, great neighbors
that I have a trunk load of
memories of. Paul went on to excel
in football at Malden Catholic.
Big and strong Iâ€™d watch him
trudge home every night, helmet
in hand, covered with turf
from head to toe. Paul was a dirt
dog who stuck his nose in every
play. Through the miracle that is
Facebook, I reached out to him
for a comment or two on that
1965 team. Paulâ€™s thoughts:
â€œGreat football team. I know
everyone talks about Frank â€˜Redâ€™
Harris and rightfully so as he was
a great QB. To me, watching, I always
felt Richie Cullen and Neil
Hurley were the true catalysts
of that team. They were both incredible
athletes and great football
players. All 3 had incredible
college careers as well, Red at
BC, Neil at Harvard, and Richie at
BU. Imagine 3 Division 1 College
football players on the same
high school team? Incredible!
Iâ€™d come home after those night
games at the old Brother Gilbert
Stadium, and I would dive into
the leaves in the front yard and
make believe I was Neil Hurley
going in for the TD. But I really
liked watching Richie Cullen
play defense, so tough and fast.
That was the thing about that
team, they had speed everywhere.

only sophomore who played on
that team, and he had incredible
speed. They had Bunky Cunningham
on defense, incredible
speed, and quickness. It was
great team to watch.â€ Thank you
so much, Paul.
As Peter Falkâ€™s iconic TV character
â€œColumboâ€ would say â€œJust
one more thing, sirâ€ â€“ in the
â€œthey donâ€™t make men like these
anymoreâ€ department I bring
to you a testimonial about Silver
Star winner Torbert â€˜Torbyâ€™
Macdonald brought to you by
Alan Frazer in his Boston Evening
American column called
â€œMy Bostonâ€ dated Tuesday, January
30, 1951:
â€œWar clouds â€“ Torby Macdonald,
Harvard football captain in
â€™39, is in Europe with Congressman
John F Kennedy who is
studying conditions in all countries
this side of the Iron Curtain.
The pair will return in about a
weekâ€¦Torbyâ€™s wife is Phyllis
Brooks, the former stage and
screen star. In her husbandâ€™s absence,
Phyllis has whipped up a
promising TV show which she
is launching today on WBZ with
herself both as producer and
emcee. She is sponsored by the
kid leather people.

ed numbers statewide.
The Malden district results
bucked the statewide trend reported
out in late September by
Massachusetts Department of
Elementary and Secondary Education
(DESE) Commissioner
Jeffrey Riley, who said that statewide
there had been a â€œpandemic
slideâ€ in MCAS results overall.
While drops in Math and Science
scores were smaller than those
matching the pre-pandemic,
2019 results, many districts experienced
â€œsignificantâ€ drops in
scores in English reading and
writing MCAS testing, Riley reported
officially in September.
â€œOverall, weâ€™ve seen drops across
the board in the Commonwealth
and everyone is going to have to
step forward and work on our
kidsâ€™ mental health and on their
academic needs going forward,â€
Riley said after making his presentation
of MCAS results from
2022 at the DESE monthly meeting
in September.
On the contrary, many of the
grade and subject matter breakdowns
in Malden showed significant
improvements in MCAS results
from just a year ago in 2021
to this year, 2022. Additionally,
particularly at the higher grade
levels, many of the Malden
MCAS results had either reached
or came close to reaching the
pre-pandemic levels of 2019.
The DESE board found that
Math scores for grades three
to eight dropped on average
â€œBefore leaving for Europe Torby,
although a disabled (and
decorated) PT-boat skipper, reactivated
his commission as a
lieutenant com in the Naval Reserve.
When he carried this news
home to Phyllis in Malden, she
became greatly upset. â€˜Donâ€™t
you know youâ€™ve got two small
children upstairs?â€™ she asked
Torby. Torby waited until Phyllis
had cooled off and then said:
â€˜Did you ever stop to think that
itâ€™s because of my two small children
upstairs?â€™
â€œTorby continued to Phyllis: â€˜I
see all these high school kids,
fine, sturdy boys but so very
young, and I think back to when
I was a kid and how little I knew
about fighting a war. They are
all swell but as far as I am concerned,
theyâ€™re too young to
be plunged right into war and
it seems to me itâ€™s up to us men
whoâ€™ve already learned by experience.â€™
â€œPhyllis
agreed. If her husband
is called out, she will raise no obstacle
to his going.â€
â€œThe Macdonald children will
be of draft age some day and
maybe thatâ€™s what Torby envisioned.
Today, theyâ€™re only 5
(thatâ€™s Torby, Jr.) and 3 Â½ (thatâ€™s
Laurie). Little Torby says his own
prayers but when his dad left for
around 16 percentage points
and 7 percentage points for
grade 10 compared to the
scores from 2019. The MCAS
testing was canceled in 2020
due to the pandemic.
In Malden, most of the grade
levelsâ€™ performances were either
improved from last yearâ€™s
2021 results or inching closer â€“
or meeting â€“ the 2019 results.
â€œOur data is good. Our educators
and administrators and
most importantly â€“ our students
â€“ should be extraordinarily
proud,â€ said Malden Ward
5 School Committee member
Adam Weldai.
In Malden, Math scores stayed
level in tenth grade while improving
in the third through
eighth grades. Fifth and eighth
grades Science scores also improved.
Supt.
Noriega-Murphy told
the School Committee that
while the district was pleased by
the overall MCAS results, there
â€œis still much room for improvement
in our district.â€ She also
noted that the improvements
â€œhave also established a new
baseline for our district. There
will be no returning to the [lower
MCAS results].â€
Dr. Noriega-Murphy said she
and her staff are preparing another
detailed, analytical presentation
on MCAS results for
the next Malden School Committee
meeting â€“ set for Monday,
November 7 in the Malden
City Hall City Council Chambers
at 6:00 p.m.
Europe with Jack Kennedy, Phyllis
suggested: â€˜Why donâ€™t you ask
God to keep Daddy safe?â€™ This is
the prayer Torby, Jr. improvised:
â€˜Please take care of my Daddy in
airplanes and autos and trains
and everywhere, and God, I ainâ€™t
kiddinâ€™.â€
Just for the record not only
did Maldenâ€™s Torby Macdonald
receive the Silver Star but
he was also awarded a Purple
Heart, a Presidential Unit Citation,
an Asiatic-Pacific Campaign
Medal, an American Campaign
Medal, and a World War II
Victory Medal.
The Italian Heritage Society
dedicated a memorial stone to
Torby in 1984. Originally located
at 200 Pleasant St. but moved
to Macdonald Stadium when
â€œThe Beast That Ate Pleasant
Streetâ€ came tumbling down, it
was placed alongside the memorial
stone of Torbertâ€™s late father,
John G. â€œJackâ€ Macdonald,
for whom Macdonald Stadium
is named. Take a moment next
time you enter Macdonald Stadium
â€“ itâ€™s on the left as you enter
â€“ and reflect on the greatest
generation and their heroic
impact that all of us benefit
from today.
â€œDamn the torpedoes, Full
speed ahead!â€ Torbert â€˜Torbyâ€™
Macdonald, always remembered
within these 1,500 words
called â€œMalden Musings.â€
Postscript: I printed the following
a little while back, but I
feel an obligation to continue
to remind Maldonians of the
great men (and women) that
came before us. Torbyâ€™s daughter
Laurie had this to say about
her famous dad: â€œAs for the history,
for the record, my father
was President Kennedyâ€™s roommate
at Harvard, and life-long
close friend. They both joined
the navy, and both were PT Boat
captains in WWII. My father was

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There
were no roll calls in the House or Senate
last week. This week, Beacon Hill
Roll Call looks at an important but little-known
roll call vote from 2019 related
to Question 1 on the November
ballot.
BEHIND THE SCENES ON QUESTION
1
The fi rst question on the November
ballot asks voters if they favor a
proposed constitutional change that
would allow a graduated income tax
in Massachusetts and impose an additional
4 percent income tax, in addition
to the current fl at 5 percent one, on taxpayersâ€™
earnings of more than $1 million
annually. Language in the change
requires that â€œsubject to appropriation,
the revenue will go to fund quality
public education, aff ordable public
colleges and universities, and for the repair
and maintenance of roads, bridges
and public transportation.â€
Supporters say the change will aff ect
only 18,000 extremely wealthy individuals
and will generate up to $2 billion
annually in additional tax revenue. They
argue that using the funds for education
and for the repair and maintenance
of roads, bridges and public transportation
will benefi t millions of Bay State
taxpayers. They note the hike would
help lower income families which are
now paying a higher share of their income
in taxes.
Opponents argue the new tax will
result in the loss of 9,500 private sector
jobs, $405 million annually in personal
disposable income and some millionaires
moving out of state. They say that
the earmarking of the funds for specific
projects is a phony sham and argue
all the funds will go into the General
Fund and be up for grabs for anything.
While considering the measure in
2019, Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading)
off ered an amendment that was
defeated 34-123 by the House and 6-33
by the Senate. The amendment would
have required that the revenue generated
by the 4 percent tax be in addition,
not in lieu of, the amount of funding
for education and transportation
that the Legislature already spends on
those two areas.
Amendment supporters said this
will prevent a â€œbait and switchâ€ scenario
in which $1.9 billion in new revenue
from the 4 percent tax is dedicated to
transportation and education but then
the Legislature takes money out of the
money currently spent in those areas
and spends it elsewhere. The net result
would be that the $1.9 billion would be
essentially spent in other areas rather
than the two promised ones.
Amendment opponents said the
intent of the amendment is clear and

there is no evidence that this is a â€œbait
and switchâ€ amendment. They argued
that the proposal is on solid ground
and that there is no need to add this
language.
â€œQuestion 1 supporters claim all of
the revenues generated through the
proposed surtax on income above $1
million will go to education and transportation,
but the truth is this funding
would be â€˜subject to appropriation,'
which means the Legislature can spend
it any way it wants,â€ said Jones. â€œI off ered
the amending language requiring that
any revenues raised be allocated â€˜in addition
toâ€™ and not â€˜in lieu ofâ€™ funding that
is already being spent in these two areas.
Voters have an expectation that
Question 1 will provide for increased
spending on education and transportation,
and my amendment would have
off ered some degree of certainty that
that will actually happen. Without this
stipulation, Iâ€™m afraid voters are being
sold a false bill of goods that could result
in a â€˜bait and switchâ€™ that provides
no net increase in education or transportation
spending.â€
â€œThe Jones amendment, twice proposed
and defeatedâ€¦during the constitutional
amendment debates, was
intended to codify proponentsâ€™ alleged
intent and assurances and hold them to
it,â€ said Chip Ford, executive director of
Citizens for Limited Taxation which opposed
and defeated the last two graduated
income tax ballot questions to
amend the state constitution in 1976
and 1994. â€œThe amendment would
have enshrined in this constitutional
amendment what is being blithely
asserted by proponents, that all new
revenue from the potential surtax on
millionaires would supplement rather
than supplant existing spending on
transportation and education. If anyone
needs evidence that this is a 'bait
and switch' scam to deceive voters,
they need look no further than those
two defeats of that one amendment.â€
â€œThis amendment that was off ered
and rejected, would have held accountable
the proponentâ€™s claim that this
80 percent income tax hike would be
used for the additional spending on
education and transportation,â€ said Paul
Craney, spokesperson for the Mass Fiscal
Alliance. â€œIt failed because the Legislature
cannot be bound by a ballot
question for how it spends our tax dollars.
If Question 1 is passed, there is absolutely
no guarantee this 80 percent
income tax hike would be used on additional
spending for transportation
and education.â€
Three key players who support
Question 1 did not respond to repeated
requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment
on the Jonesâ€™ amendment, including
Questions 1â€™s co-sponsors Sen. Jason
Lewis (D-Winchester) and Rep. Michael
Oâ€™Day (D-West Boylston),as well
as Andrew Farnitano, spokesperson
for the â€œYes on Question 1â€ campaign.
(Here is how your local legislators voted
on the Jones amendment that would
require the revenue generated by the 4
percent tax be in addition, not in lieu of,
the amount of funding for education and
transportation that the Legislature already
spends on those two areas. A â€œYesâ€
vote is for the Jones amendment. A â€œNoâ€
vote is against the Jones amendment.
Please note that this is not a vote on Question
1 itself, but rather a vote on the Jones
amendment).

ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL
STEP THERAPY (H 4929) â€“ The
House and Senate approved and sent
to Gov. Charlie Baker a bill that limits
the use of health care plan mandated
prescription drug â€œstep therapyâ€ protocols
and provides more exemptions
to the mandate. Step therapy requires
the patient to try less expensive options
before â€œstepping upâ€ to drugs that cost
more. Conditions which would exempt
a patient from trying the less expensive
drug fi rst include if the treatment will
harm the patient, or if the patient previously
tried the required treatment, or
similar treatment, and it was ineff ective.
Supporters said that insurers that
utilize step therapy protocols require
medical providers to prescribe lower-cost
medications to patients fi rst,
and only grant approval for alternative
medications when the cheaper options
have failed to improve a patient's
condition. This results in insurers effectively
choosing medications for the
patient, even in cases where their providers
have recommended an alternative.
When patients change insurers,
they are often forced to start at the beginning
of the step therapy protocol
again, which results in wasteful health
care expenditures, lost time for patients
and potentially devastating health care
impacts on the patient.
â€œToday, we are taking action to ensure
that patients with complicated
illnesses receive the medications that
their doctors know they needâ€”not repeatedly
taking medications that are ineff
ective,â€ said sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr
(D-Truro), Senate Chair of Committee
on Mental Health, Substance Abuse
and Recovery. â€œWaiting for treatment
to fail fi rst before utilizing a preferred
medication often leads to worsening
symptoms that cause complications
and needless suff ering for patients. It
is a shortsighted practice that puts paBHRC

tients at unnecessary risk.â€
â€œProviding access to groundbreaking
treatments that help improve the
quality of life for those fi ghting cancer,
debilitating diseases and a wide range
of other medical conditions is a vitally
important step we need to take, which
is why the Senate acted again today to
pass this critically important legislation,â€
said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport),
Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways
and Means.
â€œThis bill is a major step forward in
ensuring patients and doctors have access
to the right medication at the right
time,â€ said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington),
Senate Chair of the Committee
on Health Care Financing. â€œWe are fi nally
joining over half the states in the nation
in reforming step therapy practices,
putting the focus back on health care
providers working with patients to offer
the best treatment possible.â€
SPEECH PATHOLOGISTS (H 5094)
â€“ The Senate approved a bill that would
allow fully licensed speech pathologists
to be granted a provisional license to
practice in Massachusetts during their
36-month fellowship. Currently, Massachusetts
is one of only eight states that
does not provide a provisional license
that allows their students to begin practicing
during their fellowship.
Supporters said that by forbidding
their right to practice during their
36-month fellowship, the state runs the
risk of losing professionals educated in
the Bay State to other states where they
become valuable members of their
community and welcomed additions
to the economy.
â€œThe commonwealth has faced
a shortage of the vital services our
speech language pathologists provide
our public-school childrenâ€”an issue
we should not have in a state that
is home to eight graduate programs in
the fi eld,â€ said sponsor Rep. Paul McMurtry
(D-Dedham). â€œThis legislation
will assure we do not lose these talented
professionals to other states during
their 36-month fellowship by providing
them with provisional licensure to practice
during that time.â€
The House has already approved
the measure and only fi nal approval in
each branch is needed for the bill to go
to Gov. Baker.
ROSA PARKS DAY (H 3189) â€“ The
House approved and sent to the Senate
legislation that would designate February
4th as Rosa Parks Day, in recognition
of the historic civil rights leader. Parks famously
refused to give her bus seat up
to a white man On December 1, 1955,
in Montgomery, Alabama.
Co-sponsor Rep. Mike Kushmerek
(D-Fitchburg) said he co-sponsored
the measure in order to bring awareness
and representation to the heroic
actions of Rosa Parks during the Civil
Rights Movement. â€œFebruary 4th is
the birthday of Rosa Parks, so it will
be a great reminder to all those within
the commonwealth to refl ect on the
role she played in raising international
awareness of the struggles for civil
rightsâ€¦I am ecstatic that the house
has acknowledged the importance of
honoring Rosa Parks."
â€œRosa Parks was a hero of the civil
rights movement whose small but courageous
act to challenge segregation
kindled and continues to inspire the
fi ght for justice and equality of all peoples,â€
said co-sponsor Rep. Kip Diggs
(D-Barnstable).
SEXUAL ASSAULT COUNSELORS
(H 5363) â€“ The House approved and
sent to the Senate a proposal that
would create a task force on sexual assault
counselors to make recommendations
on establishing statewide certifi -
cation and updating training standards
for sexual assault counselors.
â€œThe standards for training and certifi
cation havenâ€™t been updated in decades
and sexual violence survivor
serving organizations are interested
in creating a consensus around updating
those standards through this
task force before fi ling new legislation,â€
said co-sponsor Rep. Natalie Higgins
(D-Leominster) â€¦ â€œI worked and volunteered
as a sexual violence counselor
for nearly a decade across two diff erent
organizations in two counties and support
the eff orts to reconsider the minimum
standards of training.â€
â€œWhile we are proud to have systems
in place to provide services to victims of
sexual assault here in Massachusetts,
we must make sure that those who
victims turn to at their most vulnerable
moments are properly trained and
qualifi ed for the sensitive work they do,â€
said co-sponsor Sen. Michael Moore
(D-Millbury). â€œThis legislation will ensure
that all rape crisis centers and sexual
assault counsellors will meet the same
strict standards, regardless of how their
service is provided.â€

Malden voters were uninformed
on new vocational school
O
n January 25, 2002 Malden
voters were asked to approve
funding for construction
of a new Vocational High School
in Wakefi eld to replace the existing
one. The measure in Malden
was passed by a vote of 666 -
151, with only 2% of eligible voters
voting. What voters were not
told before the vote was that the
proposed new building would
be built on top of a hillside, while
student parking would be at the
bottom of the hill, 60 feet below
the elevation of the school. This
will necessitate students walking
up and down 105 steps every
day, regardless of the weather
and/or time of day.
Voters were also not told that
the site chosen is a relatively pristine
forested hillside, which was
originally part of Breakheart Reservation.
The forest has documented
vernal pools, essential
habitat for many threatened species,
and also hosts a population
of Whip-poor-wills, a Species of
Special Concern in Massachusetts.
Adjacent to the forest, and
likely to be aff ected by the blasting
that will be done to level part
of the site, is breeding habitat for
Prairie Warblers, Field Sparrows,
Eastern Towhees, and Brown
Thrashers, all of which are Species
of Greatest Concern in Massachusetts
as scrubland disappears
from the Commonwealth.
Finally, voters were also not
told that the proposed site on
top of the hill was chosen over
another site which had previously
been recommended in a
preliminary feasibility study in
2016. That site would be at the
same elevation as the parking
lot, and would be more cost-effi -
cient (since it would not require
blasting of the hilltop). It also
would not destroy a pristine forest,
the vernal pools found within
it, and critical habitat for species
of concern.
Vocational school students
should have up-to-date facilities
in which to learn, but do Malden
residents want our children to
have to climb the equivalent of
six stories to get to school every
day? Furthermore, do we want
to destroy a pristine forest and
the creatures in it, when a better
and less expensive alternative
exists?
[Further information about
the forest and the proposed
new Vocational School can be
found at NEMTForest.org.]

Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston,
City of Malden Dedicate Two New Homes
Advocate Staff Report
M
ALDEN â€“ On the morning
of Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022,
Habitat for Humanity Greater
Boston alongside Mayor Gary
Christenson and the Malden
Strategic Planning & Community
Development Office held
the first Habitat home dedication
ceremony in three years at
the latest build site located at
1000 Main St. Surrounded by
family, neighbors, and supporters,
new homeowners Elmostafa
and Laila moved with their
children into one of the newly
completed single family homes,
while Cynthia and her children
moved into the other.
The two families and their
new homes were showered in
gifts and blessings.
Attendees were also invited
to tour a current Habitat Greater
Boston project next door where
five townhomes are under construction.
After receiving triple
the number of qualified applicants
per unit, Habitat is thrilled
to be welcoming five new partner
families into their homeownership
program very soon.
â€œWe are so happy to welcome
these two families to our diverse,
vibrant neighborhood in Malden,â€
said Mayor Christenson. â€œHabitat
Greater Boston knows what it
means to integrate and engage
with the communities where they
build â€“ itâ€™s been a pleasure having
them in Malden, and we canâ€™t
wait for the next project!â€
The dedication ceremony featured
a brief speaking program,
blessings of both homes, and
refreshments. Habitat Greater
Boston volunteers, funders,
and Malden project supporters
were in attendance. Public officials
who attended the event included
State Senator Jason Lewis,
State Representatives Paul
Donato and Kate Lipper-Garabedian,
City Councillors Craig
Spadafora, Steve Winslow and
Karen Colon Hayes, and School
Committee members Sharyn
Rose Zeiberg and Keith Bernard.
â€œWeâ€™re thrilled to have the
opportunity to bring Habitatâ€™s
mission to Malden,â€ said Habitat
Greater Boston President &
CEO Jim Kostaras. He emphasized
that the work of Habitat
is â€œnot a hand-out, but a handup,â€
and that each partner family
must complete 300 hours of
sweat equity working on their
home, attend homeownership
preparedness classes, and cover
the 0% interest mortgage and
home closing costs.
â€œOne of the best parts is when
my mom comes to visit,â€ said
Cynthia, one of the proud new
homeowners. â€œYou can see the
pride radiating through her as
she comes through my door.â€
Habitat Greater Boston is stepping
up to meet the need for affordable
homeownership and
has plans underway to build six
units in Weston, four homes in
Roslindale, and seven units in
Dorchester next year.

Visiting Revere shuts
down injured Malden
Golden Tornadoes look to get healthy to fi nish
season in a winning frame of mind
By Joe McConnell
W
ith the statewide high
school football playoffs
beginning this weekend with
the Round of 16 games, the
Malden Golden Tornadoes (2-4
in the Greater Boston League
[GBL], 3-5 overall) are on the outside
looking in while trying to
get healthy for the consolation
games. Malden decided to opt
out of the fi rst week of non-playoff
games to get healthier â€“ to,
hopefully, get some of the injured
players back on the fi eld
this year. The season offi cially
wraps up against Medford on
Thanksgiving Day.
The Golden Tornadoes
dropped to 27th in the latest
Division 3 power rankings out
of 31 teams. They were ranked
26th two weeks ago. Maldenâ€™s
most recent loss was against the
Revere Patriots (4-2 in the GBL,
4-4 overall), who upended them
last Friday night (Oct. 28), 23-0,
at MacDonald Stadium.
When summarizing this
game, Maldenâ€™s recent narrative
remains the same, and
thereâ€™s nothing coach Witche
Exilhomme can do about it. â€œWe
just need to get healthy to get
some bodies back,â€ he said after
the Revere game. â€œInjuries
are simply our biggest obstacle
right now.â€
But itâ€™s not all bad news for
Malden. After senior linebacker
John Lloyd left the Revere game
with an injury in the fi rst quarter,
sophomore backup Matt Brito
stepped up big, according to
Exilhomme. Brito was credited
with two sacks, six tackles and
two forced fumbles.
â€œWe also struggled to get anything
going against Revere after
our junior starting center Karl
Lange and starting sophomore
quarterback Aidan Brett left the
game with injuries in the second
quarter,â€ said Exilhomme.
â€œWe have a bye week this
week to, hopefully, get healthy,
but if Brett is out for next weekâ€™s
game, freshman Matthew Stelmach
will step in for him,â€ added
Exilhomme. â€œIf this group
had stayed healthy this year, we
would be getting ready for the
playoff s right now, possibly also
being among the top fi ve teams

30 YEARS that Everett High

And that includes two years
when there was champion
crowned (2020, 2021) and two
other years when Everett (and
the other then, three, GBLers
were members of the Northeastern
Conference (NEC).
That means that only TWO

the title was up for competition
since 1992 Everett has NOT won
the crown, 2001 (Cambridge)
and 2015 (Malden).
Congratulations to third-year

Malden started the season
hot, at 3-1, but has since dropped
four straight games to Lynn Classical,
Lynn English, Everett and
last week, Revere (23-0).
Malden has lost the services of
two of its captains for the season
with knee injuries, leading rusher
and scorer Mak Blaise and defensive
end Zach Pan and a slew of
other players have missed time
as well with a variety of injuries.

â€œDesignating Sikh Appreciation
Month is a way to honor the Sikh community
for sharing the importance of
equality, service to others, freedom of
religion, inclusiveness and cultivating
a space where everyone is welcome,â€
said co-sponsor Rep. Christine Barber
(D-Somerville).
â€œApril marks important celebrations
for Sikhs, especially Vaisakhi, the spring
festival celebrating the birth of Sikhism
as a collective faith,â€ said co-sponsor
Rep. Patricia Duff y (D-Holyoke). â€œIt
is a time to honor the Sikh values of
truth, compassion, generosity, service
and spirituality."
QUOTABLE QUOTES
â€œThese facilities will provide a wonderful
opportunity for our Massachusetts
students and workers to get the
hands-on skills training they need to
enter into cybersecurity careers. At the
same time, these new centers will offer
cost-eff ective security monitoring
to support small towns, businesses and
nonprofi ts, protection that is becoming
increasingly important for these
institutions.â€
---Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito announcing
$3.7 million in state grants to promote
the development of a diverse cybersecurity
workforce and improve local cyber resiliency
in the state.
2023 401(K)
CONTRIBUTION LIMITS
F
or calendar year 2023,
the IRS is increasing the
amount employees participating
in a company-sponsored
401(k) plan can contribute
to $22,500. Approximately
60million Americans are participating
in such plans in order
to help provide for a comfortable
retirement. The catchup
contribution for 2023 will
rise to $7,500 which allows for
anyone 50 years of age or older
to then max out on a 401(k)
plan 2023 total contribution
of $30,000. This is a substantial
amount of money being
contributed to your retirement
while at the same time allowing
for an income tax deduction
as your taxable W-2 wages
are reduced by the amount of
the contribution. If your company
off ers a Roth 401(K) component
to the company-sponsored
401(k) plan, then you can
decide how much to contribute
to the deductible 401(k)
portion and the non-deductible
Roth 401(k) portion. Although
you do not receive a
current income tax deduction
for Roth 401(k) contributions,
you donâ€™t have to worry about
paying income taxes on the
earnings when you ultimately
withdraw those monies during
your retirement years.
Taxpayers can now contribute
$6,500 in 2023 to a Traditional
or Roth IRA. If 50 years of
age or older, the catchup contribution
remains at $1,000
allowing someone who is 50
years of age or older to contribute
$7,500 to a Traditional
IRA or Roth IRA.
For taxpayers that are in
their own business, a Solo
401(k) plan contribution limit
for calendar year 2023 is now
up to $66,000. If 50 years or
older, the catchup contribution
for 2023 is $7,500 allowing
for a maximum 2023 contribution
of $73,500.
In 2023, the allowable deduction
for taxpayers making
contributions to a Traditional
IRA is phased out for single
taxpayers and heads of households
who are active participants
in a company-sponsored
retirement plan with
modified adjusted gross income
between $73,000 and
$83,000. For a married couple
fi ling a joint return, in which
the spouse who makes the IRA
contribution is an active participant
in a company-sponsored
retirement plan, the deduction
is phased out with income
between $116,000 and
$136,000. For a spouse not
covered by such a plan but
is married to someone that
is, the deduction for a Traditional
IRA contribution is
phased out if the coupleâ€™s income
is between $218,000
and $228,000.
For 2023, depending upon
your income, your ability to
contribute to a Roth IRA is
phased out for a married couple
with income between
$218,000 and $228,000 and
for single taxpayers and heads
of household, with income between
$138,000 and $153,000.
If you earn too much to contribute
to a Roth IRA, you
can contribute to a non-deductible
IRA and then several
years later convert it to a
Roth IRA. They refer to this as
a â€œback-doorâ€ Roth IRA. This
way, down the line you do not
have to worry about paying
taxes on the earnings when
you make withdrawals.

Riek (Libertarian).
According to the state website
(sec.state.ma.us), Question
1 would establish an additional
4 percent state income tax on
that portion of annual taxable
income totaling more than
$1 million. A yes vote would
amend the state Constitution
to impose an additional 4 percent
tax on that portion of incomes
more than $1 million to

by the state Legislature,
on education and transportation.
A no vote would make
no change in the state Constitution
relative to income tax.
Question 2 would direct the
Commissioner of the Massachusetts
Division of Insurance
to approve or disapprove the
rates of dental benefit plans
and would require that a dental
insurance carrier meet an
annual aggregate medical loss
ratio for its covered dental benefit
plans of 83 percent. A yes
vote would regulate dental insurance
rates, including by requiring
companies to spend at
least 83 percent of premiums
on member dental expenses
and quality improvements instead
of administrative expenses,
and by making other changes
to dental insurance regulations.
A no vote would make

What Youâ€™ll Pay for
Medicare in 2023
Dear Savvy Senior,
Iâ€™ve read that retirees will be getting a nice cost-of-living increase
in our Social Security benefi ts next year but what about Medicare?
What will our Medicare Part B monthly premiums and other Medicare
costs be in 2023?
Planning Ahead
Dear Planning,
From an entitlement program standpoint, 2023 is going to be a
very good year for retirees! Not only will you receive a nice 8.7 percent
cost-of-living increase in your Social Security retirement benefi
ts â€“ the largest since 1981 â€“ the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services also recently announced that your Medicare Part B
standard monthly premium will be lowered 3 percent ($5.20) from
the current rate of $170.10 per month, to $164.90/month in 2023.
The reason for the reduction is a correction to last yearâ€™s hefty
Part B premium increase, which was larger than it needed to be.
The 2022 premium hike of about 14.5 percent was announced
amid uncertainty about the potential impact of a new Alzheimerâ€™s
drug called Aduhelm, which threatened to explode Medicare
costs. That didnâ€™t happen. The cost of the drug was cut roughly
in half from an original $56,000 a year and Medicare sharply limited
coverage. This created a large fi nancial reserve for Part B, allowing
the program to reduce next yearâ€™s premium.
Youâ€™ll also be happy to know that in addition to the premium
reduction, the annual deductible for Medicare Part B will also be
lowered $7 from $233 in 2022, to $226 in 2023. And if you have a
Medicare Part D prescription drug plan, the average premium in
2023 will be about $31.50, which is a 1.8 percent decrease from
$32.08 in 2022.
But the news isnâ€™t all rosy. The deductible for Medicare Part A
(hospital coverage) per benefi t period (which generally starts
when you are admitted to the hospital) will be $1,600 in 2023, up
$44 from this yearâ€™s $1,556. That applies to the fi rst 60 days of inpatient
care. For the 61st through 90th day, the coinsurance will
be $400 per day, up from $389 this year. And for days 91 to 150,
the charge will be $800 per day (up from $778 in 2022).
And the skilled nursing facility coinsurance for days 21-100 will
also increase to $200 per day, up from $194.50 in 2022.
Wealthy Benefi ciary Breaks
High earning Medicare benefi ciaries, which makes up about 7
percent of all Medicare recipients, will also receive a break in 2023.
Medicare surcharges for high earners are based on adjusted gross
income from two years earlier, which means that 2023 Part B premiums
are determined by 2021 annual income.
So, if your 2021 income was above $97,000 up to $123,000
($194,000 up to $246,000 for married couples fi ling jointly), your
2023 Part B monthly premium will be $230.80, down from $238.10
in 2022.
Monthly premiums for singles with an income between
$123,000 and $153,000 ($246,000 and $306,000 for joint fi lers)
will decrease from $340.20 to $329.70 in 2023.
Individuals earning above $153,000 up to $183,000 ($306,000
to $366,000 for joint fi lers) will see their monthly premium decrease
from $442.30 to $428.60 in 2023.
Those with incomes above $183,000 up to $500,000 ($366,000
to $750,000 for joint fi lers), your 2023 Part B premium will be
$527.50, down from $544.30 in 2022.
And single fi lers with income of $500,000 or more ($750,000 or
more for joint fi lers) will pay $560.50 per month next year, versus
this yearâ€™s premium of $578.30.
High-income benefi ciaries with a Medicare Part D prescription
drug plan will also pay a little less next year. If your income was
over $97,000 ($194,000 for joint fi lers) youâ€™ll pay a $12.20 to $76.40
monthly surcharge on top of your regular Part D premiums based
on your income level.
