School Committee
opened their meeting on
July 23 with members sharing
their grief and memories
of fellow committee member
Anthony Mattera, who died
on June 22. School Committee
Secretary John Kingston
read a Facebook post by
a Revere resident that captured
much of what the committee
and the community
was feeling about the loss of
Materra. Like others, Caggiano
focused on Mattera’s “out
of the box” approach to education
with special attention
paid to his famous egg drops
off the roof of Lincoln School.
“He gave all he could, the
best he could,” read Kingston,
who paused when he was
overcome by tears. Kingston
said Mattera’s example was
“to live your life as best you
can, be the best you can be.”
Other members also expressed
their appreciation
for Mattera’s work and said
he will be missed on the
committee.
The committee took a moment
to congratulate Superintendent
Dr. Dianne Kelly,
who was honored with
the Christos Daoulas award
by the Mass. Association of
School Superintendents. The
award is given to the educator
who demonstrates the
fi nest attributes of school administration.
Kelly
said the award was
unexpected and humbling.
“It fi lls my cup, as elementary
school kids would say, it

said Kelly.
The committee also received
a brief presentation
on a new employee handbook
that was overhauled
through the lens of equity.
The new handbook is for
both teachers and staff , because,
as Kelly said, it takes
both teachers and staff to

consulting fi rm that specializes

drew inspiration for the mural
from the rich biodiversity and
natural beauty of the Suff olk

Belle Isle Marsh and Revere
Beach. The mural, Colombier’s
fi rst in the United States, integrates
themes of climate resiliency
and ecological preservation,
aligning with HYM’s
commitment to prioritizing

features bright colors and local
fl orals, such as cardinal fl owers,
bird’s foot, coral honeysuckle,
great blue lobelia and wild indigo,
which are native to Massachusetts.
The mural’s blue
background was inspired by
the many water sources located
near the Suff olk Downs site
as well as the creative measures
that HYM has implemented to
mitigate the eff ects of climate
change and rising sea levels.
In planning the Suff olk Downs
development, HYM commissioned
a highly advanced hydraulic
model, which informed
the inclusion of the site’s fl oodable
parks and purposeful infrastructure,
designed to embrace
many inevitable impacts of climate
change.
“The addition of Julien Colombier’s
mural at Amaya further
solidifi es Suff olk Downs as
an accessible, sustainable, and
dynamic neighborhood that
prioritizes art and creativity,”
said HYM Managing Partner/
CEO Thomas N. O’Brien. “We
are honored that Julien chose
to make his United States debut
with us in Revere, and we look
forward to seeing residents and
visitors enjoy Julien’s mural for
years to come.”
“We are proud to see our vision
come to life at the Amaya
project, enhancing the Suffolk
Downs community with
this expansive public art installation,”
said National President/
CEO Jeff rey Kanne. “We look forward
to the positive impact this
mural will have on visitors and
residents of Amaya.”
“The inspiration for this work
was the rich variety of local
flowers and how to express
them artistically, while harmoniously
adapting to the architecture
as the canvas for this
giant painting. For this project
I wanted to consider viewers
from various distances, and
fi nding the right scale was essential
to create something vibrant
and groovy, yet still poetic.”
said Colombier.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate
with HYM, a visionary team that
truly understands the profound
value of art and culture in creating
memorable spaces,” said
Justkids Founder/Director Charlotte
Duoit. “Julien’s design perfectly
captures the essence of
the surrounding area, infusing
it with a local fl air that invites
people to connect, experience
and come back!”
First move-ins at Amaya,
which was developed in partnership
by National and HYM,
began in June, with leasing
for the property managed by
Bozzuto. Amaya features over
34,000 square feet of state-ofthe-art
amenities and 24,000
square feet of dynamic groundlevel
retail off erings. Situated in
Beachmont Square, residents
will be connected to a lively
community hub of neighborhood
retail, open space and
civic spaces within the vibrant,
mixed-use neighborhood serving
as a gateway to all of Suffolk
Downs. Residents can also
enjoy the nearby access to The
Track at Suff olk Downs, including
The Dog Park, community
events and concerts hosted
at The Stage at Suff olk Downs.
Amaya also off ers quick, easy
connections to Downtown Boston
and major transit hubs.
“We’re thrilled to have Julien
Colombier’s new mural adding
more color and excitement
at Amaya,” said Amaya General
Manager Jennifer Soto. “The
artwork further enhances our
community of creativity and
connection. It is a welcome
addition to the property and
serves as a great representation
of all that Amaya has to off er.”

OSTON—7/19/24. Today,
the Legislature enacted a
$58 billion budget for Fiscal
Year 2025 (FY25), resolving
differences between the
versions of the budget passed
by the House of Representatives
and the Senate earlier
this year. The FY25 conference
committee report maintains
fi scal responsibility while
delivering historic levels of investment
in every level of education,
transportation regional
equity, workforce development
and health care, refl ecting
the Legislature’s ongoing
commitment to delivering on
aff ordability for residents and
economic competitiveness for
the Commonwealth.
“At the start of this legislative
session I called for a ‘Student
Opportunity Plan’ that would
build on our landmark Student
Opportunity Act and expand
access to quality public education
to all our residents from
cradle to career. With the adoption
of this FY25 conference report,
which includes universal

ing, I’m thrilled to say that Massachusetts
now has that comprehensive
plan that will provide
hope and opportunity to
so many,” stated Senate President
Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland).
“This budget is a vote of
confi dence in every Massachusetts
resident going to school,
raising a family, and working
to make ends meet—as well
as strong blueprint for bring
equity and opportunity to every
region and resident of our
state. I want to thank Chair Rodrigues,
Vice Chair Friedman,
Assistant Vice Chair Comerford,
the committee, and all my
Senate colleagues and staff for
their thoughtful and collaborative
work on this great budget,
and our partners in the House
that worked to bring this vision
into reality.”
“This budget takes a fi scally
responsible approach to making
meaningful investments in
areas of signifi cant need. I’m
proud of the fact that the FY25
budget allocates key funding
to better support Massachusetts
students and families, to
increase access to aff ordable

ters regional equity,” said Senator
Michael J. Rodrigues (DWestport),
Chair of the Senate
Committee on Ways and
Means. “The FY25 budget specifi
cally makes targeted investments
collectively in education,
transportation, local aid, health
care, housing assistance, and
workforce development, while
shaping an aff ordable and fi scally
sustainable path for the
Commonwealth. Thank you
to my Senate and House conferees,
and House Ways and
Means Chair Aaron Michlewitz
for his determination, resolve,
and partnership to get the job
done and produce a responsible
budget we can all be proud
of. I also thank all my colleagues
in the Senate, whose advocacy,
collaboration, and dedication
helped to inform and
shape this comprehensive budget
plan. A special thank you
to the Ways and Means staff ,
whose diligent work over the
last several months was largely
responsible for producing this
budget, their tireless eff orts do
not ever go unnoticed.”
“The $58.1 Billion Fiscal Year
2025 conference committee
report is truly a refl ection of
the best and most critical initiatives
that were contained in
the various budget proposals
that have been presented this
year. Whether it is greater investments
into programs like
housing stability, food security,
or early education the initiatives
contained in this budget
are a refl ection of our shared
values,” said Representative
Aaron Michlewitz, Chair of
the House Committee on
Ways & Means (D-Boston).
“By reinvesting in the people
of the Commonwealth we will
continue to assist those in need
while making our economy
more competitive and equitable
for years to come. I want to
thank Speaker Mariano for his
leadership during this budget
process, as well as my fellow
House conferees, Representative
Ferrante and Representative
Smola. I also want to thank
my counterparts in the Senate,
specifi cally my co-chair Senator

proud of the fi nal budget, as it
is fi scally responsible and makes
key investments in transportation
and affordable healthcare,”
said Representative Giannino
(D-Revere). “I am happy
to have secured vital funding
for the City of Revere in several
important areas including educational
programs, public safety,
and repairs to our aging infrastructure
that support our
youth and seniors. I am thankful
for the partnership and advocacy
of Representative Turco
and Senator Edwards in bringing
this funding home.”
“The FY25 budget is a values
statement. I am honored
to have supported a budget
that contains the largest investment
in our educational system
in the Commonwealth’s history.
In addition, working with my
colleague, Rep. Giannino, the
final budget contains significant
funding for important programs
in Revere. This budget
confi rms that teamwork benefi
ts Revere,” said Representative
Jeff rey Rosario Turco (D.
Winthrop).
“This FY25 budget is a testament
to our commitment to equity
and opportunity for all residents
of Massachusetts. With
unprecedented investments in
education, transportation, and
health care, we are laying the
foundation for a more inclusive
and prosperous future. I am particularly
proud of the provisions
that address regional disparities
and enhance access to quality
public education from early
childcare through community
college, and water transportation
for our constituents.
Ensuring that every resident
has the tools they need to succeed
is paramount. I am grateful
to my colleagues in the Legislature,
especially Rep. Giannino
and Rep. Turco, for their dedication,
collaborative spirit, and
partnership in crafting a budget
that truly refl ects the values and
needs of our diverse Commonwealth,”
said Senator Lydia Edwards
(D-Boston).
The FY25 budget recommends
a total of $58 billion
in spending, a $2 billion increase
over the Fiscal Year
2024 (FY24) General Appropriations
Act (GAA). This
spending recommendation is
based on a tax revenue estimate
of $41.5 billion for FY25,
which is $208 million less than
revenues assumed in the FY24
GAA. This represents nearly fl at
growth, as agreed upon during
the consensus revenue process
in January, plus $1.3 billion
in revenue generated from the
Fair Share surtax.
As the Commonwealth adjusts
to a changing economic
landscape and ongoing tax revenue
volatility, the FY25 budget
adheres to disciplined and responsible
fi scal stewardship. It
does not raise taxes, nor does
it draw down available reserves
from the stabilization fund or
the transitional escrow fund,
while at the same time judicially
utilizing one-time resources
to maintain balance. The FY25
budget continues responsible
and sustainable fi scal planning
for the future by continuing to
grow the Rainy Day Fund, already
at a historic high of over
$8 billion, to an anticipated balance
of roughly $9 billion at the
close of FY25.
Fair Share Investments
to Grow Our Economy
Consistent with the consensus
revenue agreement
reached with the HealeyDriscoll
Administration in January,
the FY25 budget includes
$1.3 billion in revenues generated
from the Fair Share surtax
of four percent on annual income
above $1 million and invests
these public dollars to improve
the state’s education and
transportation sectors.
Notable Fair Share education
and transportation investment
highlights include:
Education: 59% of Fair
Share Revenues
• $170 million to fully fund
universal free school meals
programming for every public-school
student in the Commonwealth.
•
$175 million for the Commonwealth

and care programs,
which is matched with $300
million in funds from the new
Early Education and Care Operational
Grant Fund and the
High-Quality Early Education
and Care Aff ordability Fund
for a total investment of $475
million.
• $117.5 million for MassEducate
to provide free community
college across the Commonwealth.
•
$80 million to expand fi nancial
aid programs for in-state

General Fund.
• $65 million for early education
and care provider rate
increases, to increase salaries
for our early educators.

expansion of universal prekindergarten,
including in
Gateway Cities.
Transportation: 41% of Fair
Share Revenues

L
isa Furtak and Sherry Allen,
residents of Jack Satter
House, are the latest beneficiaries
of Hebrew SeniorLife’s
Power a Dream program,
which grants deeply meaningful
dreams to senior residents.
Both women — avid
fans of musical theater — were
thrilled to attend a live performance
of the Tony Award-winning
“Hadestown” at the Boch
Center’s Wang Theatre in Boston.
“Hadestown” reimagines
the Greek myth of Orpheus and
Eurydice, blending elements of
folk, jazz, and blues. For Lisa, it
was her fi rst time experiencing
a Broadway show, and for
Sherry, it was her fi rst live performance
since the 1970s. Margie
Glou, a Power a Dream volunteer,
accompanied them on
their memorable trip.
“It was an amazing afternoon!”
Sherry said of their adventure.

dreams can range from a motorcycle

uation of Kelly. Vice Chair Jacqueline
Monterroso explained
that the evaluation was in regard
to a fi ve-year district plan
with six areas or goals. Monterrosso
said a formative evaluation
is something generally
given verbally, but the personnel
subcommittee collected
information and feedback,
which they incorporated into
a memo and which they intend
to post on the committee’s
website.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 2024
The committee found Kelly
was on track with finding
ways for students to demonstrate
their knowledge. Committee
members noted students’
involvement in advocating
for the new high school
and for reinstating the honors
program. The committee also
found Kelly was on track with
reviews of district handbooks
with an emphasis on equity.
Kelly also has increased parent
and family involvement with
coffee hours, more translation
services and family nights.
Kelly was also praised for new
student support services and
practices providing more social,
emotional and behavioral
interventions and providing
more early college opportunities
for students.
While Kelly received high
marks on those areas, sever

al members of the committee
said they feel the district’s goals
should focus more on academics.
“To be honest, I’ve been torn
by the evaluation not being
done in a timely manner and
not as focused on academics
as we should be,” said Caggiano.
“It’s a concern that we don’t
address it in the evaluation.”
Caggiano, who also serves
on the Northeast Metro Tech
School Committee, said about
60 percent of Revere’s eighth
graders, or 360 students, are
applying to Metro Tech not
solely for the education in the
trades but also because of the
strong academics. Caggiano
suggested that if there is greater
emphasis on academics in
Revere, fewer students would
apply to Northeast Metro Tech.
Caggiano is running again for a
seat on Northeast Metro Tech’s
School Committee and will be
on the ballot this November.
Revere School Committee
member Aisha Milbury-Ellis
echoed Caggiano’s concern
that the district’s goals don’t
include fundamentals, such as
academics, improved MCAS
scores, higher graduation rates
and decreasing absenteeism.
Kelly said the formative evaluation
was based on six goals
that were taken from a community
meeting of parents, teachers
and students. “I agree on
a stronger focus on academics,”
she said, adding that there
have been huge gains in academic
performance among
certain groups of students.
She said it is soon time to
hold another community-wide
meeting to set goals for a new
fi ve-year plan for the district.
Joint meeting
brings Sannella back
to school board
The City Council and the
School Committee held a joint
meeting on July 22 to approve
former School Committee
member Frederick Sannella’s
appointment to fi ll the remaining
term of committee member
Anthony “Tony” Mattera,
who died last month. Vacancies
on the School Committee
are fi lled by the defeated candidate
with the most votes from
the previous election — who
must be approved by the council
and the committee. Sanella
lost the sixth seat on the committee
in the 2023 municipal
election with 2,304 votes to
Mattera’s 2,337 votes.
“I’d like to take this opportunity
to thank the voters of Revere
for taking a look at an old
warhorse,” said Sannella, who
promised to serve to the best
of his ability.
Prior to serving on the School
Committee, Sanella was an elementary
teacher at the Lincoln
School and an assistant principal
at the Whalen School.

Education: Early
Education and
Care, K-12 and
Higher Education
The FY25 budget supports
students across the full spectrum
of the Commonwealth’s
education system, shaping polices
to make high-quality education
more accessible and by
making signifi cant investments
in the education system, from
our youngest learners to adults.
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 2024
To create a new funding
source for EEC initiatives, the
budget allows the Massachusetts
Lottery to sell its products
online. A portion of the new
revenue collected from online
lottery sales, estimated to be
$100 million in FY25, would
fund C3 grants, which provide
long-term stability for highquality
and aff ordable care for
families.
The budget report delivers
signifi cant levels of investment
in education, including:
• $6.9 billion in Chapter 70
funding, an increase of $317
million over FY24, as well as
increasing minimum Chapter
70 aid from $30 to $104
per pupil, delivering an additional
$37 million in resources
to school districts
across the state.
• Over $1.55 billion investment
in the early education
and care sector, including:
• $475 million for the Commonwealth
Cares for Children
(C3) grants.
• FY25 is the second fi scal
year in a row which the annual
state budget includes
a full year of funding for C3
grants, signaling a historic
commitment to maintain
this crucial lifeline for our
early education and care
sector.
• The FY25 budget also
makes the C3 program
permanent, while including
provisions to direct
more funds from the C3
program to early education
and programs that
serve children receiving
childcare subsidies from
the state and youth with
high needs.
• $117.5 million for free community
college across the
Commonwealth, covering
tuition and fees for students.
• $493.2 million for the special
education (SPED) circuit
breaker.
• $99.5 million to reimburse
school districts for regional
school transportation costs,
representing an 85 per cent
reimbursement rate.
• $18.5 million for Head Start
grants.
• $16 million for rural school
aid assistance.
• $6 million for Social Emotional
Learning Grants to
help K-12 schools continue
to bolster social emotional
learning supports for students,
including $1 million
to provide mental health
screenings for K-12 students.
to support
• $5 million for grants to support
implementation of
the Massachusetts Inclusive
Concurrent Higher Education
law, including $3
million for grants offered
through the Massachusetts
Inclusive Concurrent Enrollment
initiative to help high
school students with intellectual
disabilities ages 18—
22 access higher education
opportunities; and $2 million
for the Massachusetts
Inclusive Concurrent Enrollment
Trust Fund.
• $3 million for genocide education
grants to facilitate
teaching students the history
of genocide.
• $1 million for hate crimes
prevention grants to support
the prevention of hate
crimes in public schools.
The FY25 budget codifies
several provisions that transforms
the early education sector
by improving aff ordability
and access for families, increasing
pay for early educators, and
ensuring the sustainability and
quality of early education and
care programs.
In K-12 education, the FY25
budget follows through on the
Legislature’s commitment to
fully fund and implement the
Student Opportunity Act (SOA)
by Fiscal Year 2027, investing
$6.9 billion in Chapter 70
funding, an increase of $319
million over FY24, as well as
increasing minimum Chapter
70 aid from $30 to $104
per pupil, delivering an additional
$37 million in resources
to school districts across
the state. With these investments,
the Legislatures continues
to provide crucial support
to school districts confronting
the increasing cost pressures
that come with delivering
high-quality education to
all students.
In addition to the record levels
of investment in early education
and K-12, the FY25
budget removes barriers to
accessing public higher education
by codifying into law
MassEducate, a $117.5 million
investment in universal
free community college
program that covers tuition
and fees for residents, aimed
at supporting economic opportunity,
workforce development,
and opening the door
to higher education for people
who may never have had access.
The FY25 budget permanently
enshrines free community
college into law in an affordable
and sustainable manner
across the Commonwealth,
while leaving no federal dollars
on the table.
Health, Mental Health
and Family Care
Investments in the FY25 budget
allow more than two million
people to receive continued
access to aff ordable and
comprehensive health care
services. Health care investments
include:
• $20.36 billion fo r
MassHealth, representing
the largest investment made
in the state budget.
• $2.9 billion for a range of
services and focused supports
for people with intellectual
and developmental
disabilities.
• $622.4 million for Department
of Mental Health (DMH)
adult support services.
• $625 million for nursing facility
Medicaid rates, including
$40 million in additional
base rate payments to maintain
competitive wages in
the Commonwealth’s nursing
facility workforce.
• $390 million for Chapter
257 rates to support directcare
providers across the
continuum of care.
• $212.7 million for a complete
range of substance use
disorder treatment and intervention
services.
• $131.4 million for children’s
mental health services.
• $33.8 million for Family Resource
Centers to grow and
improve the mental health
resources and programming
available to families.
• $30.9 million for Early Intervention
services, ensuring
supports remain accessible
and available to infants
and young toddlers with de׉	 7cassandra://t-6qaAmdCDo4sdBq4JLuNkETG13vJ0YF_ZVzEys9LJQ&`̰ fo?6׉ETHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 2024

velopmental delays and disabilities.
•
$29.6 million for grants to
local Councils on Aging to
increase assistance per elder
to $15 from $14 in FY 2024.
• $27.9 million for family and
adolescent health, including
$9.2 million for comprehensive
family planning services
and $6.7 million to enhance
federal Title X family planning
funding.
• $20 million to recapitalize
the Behavioral Health, Access,
Outreach and Support
Trust Fund to support targeted
behavioral health initiatives.
•
$14.7 million for maternal
and child health, including
$10.4 million for pediatric
palliative care services for
terminally ill children and a
policy adjustment to ensure
that children up to age 22
can continue to be served
through the program.
• $5.5 million for Children Advocacy
Centers to provide
critical supports available to
children that have been neglected
or sexually abused.
• $2 million for grants for improvements
in reproductive
health access, infrastructure,
and safety.
The FY25 budget, for the fi rst
time in Massachusetts’ history,
allows an individual to be identifi
ed with a non-binary ‘X’ sex
designation on their birth certifi
cate and enshrine into law
the current practice of allowing
an individual to select a
non-binary ‘X’ gender designation
on their driver’s license.
This step ensures that all residents—including
trans and
nonbinary people—can secure
government documents
that accurately reflect who
they are.
Additionally, the FY25 budget
recognizes that the cost of
fertility preservation should
not be a barrier to starting a
family for Massachusetts residents
with cancer or other
serious medical conditions. It
therefore requires health insurance
carriers to cover fertility
preservation treatments
for individuals who have a
medical diagnosis or who are
going through medical treatments
that may impact fertility.
It also includes coverage for
the procurement, cryopreservation,
and storage of gametes,
embryos, or other reproductive
tissue.
Housing
The FY25 budget invests
$1.15 billion in housing, dedicating
resources for housing
stability, residential assistance,
emergency shelter services,
and homelessness assistance
programs, ensuring the state
deploys a humane, responsible,
and sustainable approach
to providing families and individuals
in need with an access
point to secure housing.
The budget prioritizes relief
for families and individuals
who continue to face challenges
brought on by the pandemic
and fi nancial insecurity,
including $326.1million for
Emergency Assistance Family
Shelters, in addition to the
$175 million in resources
passed in the recent supplemental
budget, to place the
Commonwealth’s shelter system
on a fi scal glidepath into
FY25. Housing investments include:
•
$231.7 million for the Massachusetts
Rental Voucher
Program (MRVP), including
$12.5 million in funds carried
forward from FY24.
• $197.4 million for Residential
Assistance for Families in
Transition (RAFT).
• $113 million for assistance
to local housing authorities.
• $110.8 million for assistance
for individuals experiencing
homelessness.
• $57.3 million for the HomeBASE
program.
• $27 million for the Alternative
Housing Voucher
Program (AHVP), including
$10.7 million in funds carried
forward from FY24, to
provide rental assistance to
people with disabilities.
• $10.5 million for assistance
for unaccompanied homeless
youth.
• $10.5 million for Housing
Consumer Education Centers
(HCECs).
• $8.9 million for sponsorbased
supportive permanent
housing.
• $8.9 million for the Home
and Healthy for Good rehousing
and supportive services
program, including
funding to support homeless
LGBTQ+ youth.
The FY25 budget includes
important consumer protections,
including ending the
practice of home equity theft,
a practice where cities, towns,
and even private companies
can foreclose on a home for
taxes owed, sell it, and pocket
the profi ts. With this crucial
step, the Legislature strikes a
balance to ensure equity is returned
to homeowners and
taxpayers, while municipalities
will be made a whole and protected
moving forward.
Expanding and Protecting
Economic Opportunities
The budget includes a record
investment in the annual
child’s clothing allowance,
providing $500 per child for
eligible families to buy clothes
for the upcoming school year.
The budget also includes a 10
per cent increase to Transitional
Aid to Families with Dependent
Children (TAFDC) and
Emergency Aid to the Elderly,
Disabled and Children (EAEDC)
benefit levels compared to
June 2024. Other economic
opportunity investments include:
•
$496.2 million for Transitional
Assistance to Families
with Dependent Children
(TAFDC) and $183.2 million
for Emergency Aid to Elderly,
Disabled and Children
(EAEDC) to provide the necessary
support as caseloads
increase, and continue the
Deep Poverty increases.
• $59.8 million for adult basic
education services to improve
access to skills necessary
to join the workforce.
• $42.4 million for the Massachusetts
Emergency Food
Assistance Program.
• $15 million in Healthy Incentives
Programs to maintain
access to healthy food
options for households in
need.
• $10.4 million for Career
Technical Institutes to increase
our skilled worker
population and provide residents
access to career technical
training opportunities.
• $10 million for the Workforce
Competitiveness Trust
Fund to connect unemployed
and under-employed
workers with higher paying
jobs.
• $10 million for a community
empowerment and reinvestment
grant program to
provide economic support
to communities disproportionately
impacted by the
criminal justice system.
• $5.4 million for the Innovation
Pathways program
to continue to connect students
to training and postsecondary
opportunities in
STEM fi elds.
Community Support
The FY25 budget further
demonstrates the Legislature’s
commitment to partnerships
between the state
and municipalities, dedicating
meaningful resources that
touch all regions and meet
the needs of communities
across the Commonwealth.
This includes $1.3 billion in
funding for Unrestricted General
Government Aid (UGGA),
an increase of $38 million
over FY24, to support additional
resources for cities and
towns.
In addition to traditional
sources of local aid, the FY25
budget includes the following
local and regional equity
investments:
• $204 million for Regional
Transit Authorities (RTAs)
to support regional public
transportation systems, including
$110 million from
Fair Share funds to support
our RTAs that help to connect
all regions of our Commonwealth.
•
$53 million for payments
in lieu of taxes (PILOT) for
state-owned land, an increase
of $1.5 million over
FY24. PILOT funding is an
additional source of supplemental
local aid for cities
and towns working to protect
and improve access to
essential services and programs
during recovery from
the pandemic.
• $52.4 million for libraries,
including $19 million for
regional library local aid,
$20 million for municipal libraries
and $6.2 million for
technology and automated
resource networks.
• $26.9 million for the Massachusetts
Cultural Council
to support local arts, culture,
and creative economic
initiatives.
Having passed the House
of Representatives and the
Senate, the FY25 budget now
moves to the Governor’s desk
for her consideration.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts
Sponsors Free Bluebikes Day Passes on
“Mindful Mondays” during National Wellness Month
M
assachusetts’ largest
health plan creates opportunities
for physical exercise
via Metro Boston’s public
bike share system to boost
mental wellbeing every Monday
in August
BOSTON (August 1, 2024)
— In recognition of National
Wellness Month, Blue Cross
Blue Shield of Massachusetts
(“Blue Cross”) is launching its
fourth annual “Mindful Mondays”
initiative by offering
free Bluebikes Day Passes every
Monday in August, starting
August 5. This initiative
aims to highlight the positive
impact mindfulness activities
like biking can have on one’s
overall health and wellbeing.
The free Day Passes are accessible
across Bluebikes’ 13
municipalities, including Arlington,
Boston, Brookline,
Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett,
Malden, Medford, Newton,
Revere, Salem, Somerville,
and Watertown. As the title
sponsor of Bluebikes, Blue
Cross is dedicated to fostering
community well-being and
mental health. The system is
municipally owned and operated
under contract by Lyft.
Riders can take advantage
of free Day Passes on each
“Mindful Monday” by entering
the applicable code
on the Bluebikes App. Each
code will unlock one free Day
Pass, which includes unlimited
complimentary two-hour
pedal bike rides during a 24hour
period, and free ebike
unlocks. Riders can also upgrade
to ebike rides for an additional
per minute fee.
The codes for each Monday
are as follows:
— August 5: BLUECROSS05
— August 12: BLUECROSS12
— August 19: BLUECROSS19
— August 26: BLUECROSS26
Research underscores the
mental health benefi ts of biking.
A Healthline report highlights
that biking fosters stable
mindfulness and alleviates
stress, depression, and
anxiety. Furthermore, a study
by the National Institute of
Health (NIH) reveals that outdoor
biking enhances cognitive
functioning and overall
well-being, particularly
among older adults.
“This National Wellness
Month, we emphasize the critical
role of mental health in overall
well-being,” said Jeff Bellows,
vice president of corporate citizenship
and public aff airs at
Blue Cross. “For the fourth consecutive
year, our ‘Mindful Mondays’
initiative is committed
to nurturing both mental and
physical health across Greater
Boston. We encourage residents
and visitors to harness
the benefi ts of a Bluebikes ride
and enhance their health by
getting outdoors.”
Blue Cross has served as
Bluebikes’ title sponsor since
May 2018 and remains committed
to supporting and
extending public bike sharing
in Greater Boston as a
safe, sustainable and accessible
public transportation option
through its partnership
with the municipal owners
of Bluebikes and Lyft. In the
six years of Blue Cross’ sponsorship,
the system has doubled
in size, adding more than
200 stations, 400 pedal bikes
and, most recently, 750 nextgeneration
ebikes to its fl eet.
Last December, Blue Cross announced
its title sponsorship
extension through 2031.

Point of Pines Yacht Club Celebrates Blessing of the Fleet
By Melissa Moore-Randall
U
nder an ominous July sky,
the Point of Pines Yacht
Club (POPYC) celebrated their
annual Blessing of the Fleet
event. The Blessing of the Fleet
is a centuries old tradition that
includes a blessing from a local
priest to ensure safe and
bountiful boating and fi shing
seasons. Due to uncooperative
weather and rescheduling confl
icts, Pastor Wayne blessed the
boats on Saturday and festivities
continued on Sunday.
Sunday’s festivities began
with Commodore Vincent Piccinni’s
Offi cer Reception with
the newly elected board members.
Revere Mayor Patrick
Keefe spoke about the maritime
community in the city
and positive vision for the future
of Revere’s coastal footprint.
Ward 5 Councillor Angela
Guarino-Sawaya made note
of the valuable relationship between
the Yacht Club, the Point
of Pines Beach Association and

Scholarships were presented
at the event. This year there
were fi ve recipients: Paul Vincent
Capodilupo, Kaitlyn Hurley,
Cole Malatesta, Sarah Quigley
and Jake Sherman. A special
recognition was awarded
to Charles MacLaughlin and his
wife Elaine, who initiated the
scholarship back in 2014 after
the 100th year anniversary of
the Point of Pines Yacht Club.
After the reception the celebration
continued on the docks
with food stations and music.
Revere’s Kaitlyn Hurley received
a $1,000 scholarship
from the Maryalice Downey
Scholarship Fund. She is the
daughter of Revere resident
and Harbormaster John Hurley
and his wife, POPYC member,

THE
HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon
Hill Roll Call records local
representatives’ and senators’
votes on roll calls from the week
of July 22-26.
$1.26 BILLION BOND FOR INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY (H
4889)
House 156-2, Senate 39-0, approved
and sent to Gov. Maura
Healey a bill that would invest
in information technology (IT)
upgrades, improvements and
new projects across state government.
The measure authorizes
$1.23 billion in bonded spending
and $400 million in anticipated
federal funds.
“Today the Legislature is investing
in a safer, more effi cient
and modernized digital experience
for residents and state employees
alike,” said Senate President
Karen Spilka (D-Ashland).
“Our technology infrastructure
is a lynchpin for nearly every service
and resource our state delivers,
and enhancing it is a fundamental
step toward increasing
access and creating systems that
work for everyone.”
“I am immensely proud of
the dedication and eff ort demonstrated
… to bring this report
to fruition,” said Rep. Marcus
Vaughn (R-Wrentham). “This
achievement stands as a testament
to the power of collaboration.
By working together, we
have shown our shared commitment
to serving the best interests
of the commonwealth.”
“Government spending is
wildly out of control and it’s fi scally
irresponsible to keep passing
these boondoggle bills,” said
Rep. Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick),
one of only two members to vote
against the measure. “We need
to reduce spending and taxes
in order to lower the cost of living
in the commonwealth. The
path we’re on is unsustainable
and will lead to more businesses
and taxpayers fl eeing the state.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A
“No” vote is against it.)
Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep.
Jeff Turco Yes Sen. Lydia Edwards
Yes
WAGE TRANSPARENCY (H
4890)
House 152-5, Senate 38-2, approved
and sent to Gov. Healey
a bill, named the Frances Perkins
Workplace Equity Act, in honor
of the fi rst woman to serve as
U.S. Labor Secretary. The measure
would require employers
with 25 or more employees to
disclose a salary range when
posting a job position. The measure
also would require employers
with 100 or more employees
to fi le annual employment data
reports, including information
salaries, with the state.
“The 2016 Equal Pay Act was
a huge step forward in closing
pay gaps and it worked,” said Sen.
Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville). “One
study from 2020 showed salary
history bans alone increased
pay by as much as 5 percent increase
for all job changers, an 8
percent increase for women and
a 13 percent increase for Black
workers. This bill takes the next
steps in providing more information
for job seekers and ensuring
that women and people
of color enter wage negotiations
with more information at their
fingertips to secure better offers.
With the data collected we’ll
learn about inequities that persist
and be able to identify ways
to solve them.”
“True progress towards justice
and equality demands that we
not only acknowledge the critical
importance of wage equity,
particularly for women and people
of color, but actively strive
to achieve it,” said Rep. Brandy
Fluker Oakley (D-Mattapan). “By
achieving wage equity, we empower
individuals and strengthen
our communities, fostering
an environment where everyone
can thrive and contribute to
a more equitable future.”
“I voted ‘no’ on the wage transparency
bill because this is just
another burden being unfairly
placed on small businesses,” said
Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton).
“The National Federation of Independent
Businesses wanted
the threshold to be 100 or more.
Small businesses will inevitably
be unaware of this law and receive
fi nes and penalties that are
signifi cant, even though they’re
not operating with malicious intent.
Massachusetts is already an
increasingly diffi cult state to operate
a business and this well-intentioned
bill will only make it
more diffi cult.”
“Burdensome regulations and
taxes already make Massachusetts
one of the least friendly
states in the country to run a
business,” said Rep. Nick Boldyga
(R-Southwick). “In addition to the
cost of compliance, DEI policies,
such as so-called salary transparency
mandates, crush innovation
and stifl e talent development.
This bill is just the latest attempt
to advance a toxic ideology
that is destroying free market
enterprise. Beacon Hill is killing
small businesses.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A
“No” vote is against it.)
Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep.
Jeff Turco Yes Sen. Lydia Edwards
Yes
DOG KENNEL SAFETY — OLLIE’S
LAW (H 4919)
House 159-0, approved and
sent to the Senate legislation
that would allow the Massachusetts
Department of Agricultural
Resources to establish rules and
regulations for dog kennels in
the Bay State, to ensure animal
welfare, protect consumers and
keep kennel staff safe.
Requirements include, obtaining
a license from the municipality,
an annual inspection, dog to
staff ratio specifi cations, injury
reporting, indoor and outdoor
physical facility requirements,
insurance and minimal housing
and care requirements.
Supporters said that currently,
the state has no oversight of
dog daycare or boarding kennels.
They argued it is estimated
that a dog is injured or killed every
nine to ten days in Massachusetts
at these kennels. They noted
that many families in Massachusetts
have suff ered the loss or
injury of an animal at a dog daycare
or kennel that could have
been avoided by commonsense
regulations over these facilities.
“I fi led this bill on behalf of my
constituent, Amy Baxter, whose
7-month-old puppy was attacked
by other dogs at a boarding
kennel in my district,” said
Rep. Brian Ashe (D-Longmeadow).
“Sadly, Ollie eventually succumbed
to his many injuries.
People assume these facilities
are regulated by the state and
have safety protocols in place.
Many already do, however, far
too many do not, leaving animals
and staff at risk. I and the
Coalition that was formed, wanted
to do everything possible to
prevent these types of situations
from occurring again. I am proud
of this legislation and know it will
make a diff erence in the lives of
pets and consumers.“
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)
Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep.
Jeff Turco Yes
BAN ELEPHANTS AND OTHER
ANIMALS (H 4915)
House 155-0, approved and
sent to the Senate legislation
that eff ective January 1, 2025,
would ban elephants, bears, lions,
tigers, leopards, jaguars,
cheetahs and other wild animals
from being used in traveling circuses
and other traveling shows
in Massachusetts where they
would be used to perform tricks,
give rides or otherwise participate
as an accompaniment for
the entertainment of a live audience.
Violators would be fi ned
between $500 and $10,000. The
ban would not apply to zoos or
to performances that take place
at other non-mobile, permanent
facilities if the covered animal is
a resident animal at the same facility
in which the performance
takes place.
“Massachusetts has long been
a leader in promoting animal
welfare by enacting laws to protect
animals from abuse and neglect,
but most of our current
laws apply to domestic animals
and common household pets,”
said co-sponsor Rep. Brad Jones
(R-North Reading). “[The measure]
would extend these same
protections to exotic animals
that are used in traveling exhibits
and shows. These animals are
often subject to cruel and inhumane
treatment, including prolonged
periods of confi nement
and other forms of neglect and
abuse, all to provide entertainment.
Several communities in
Massachusetts have already
implemented local bans, but a
statewide ban on traveling animal
acts is long overdue.”
“I was deeply moved by the
compelling evidence and public
sentiment against the use of
wild animals in traveling acts,”
said co-sponsor Rep. Carole Fiola
(D-Fall River). “After taking a
safari in Africa in 2019 … seeing
these animals in their natural
state highlighted the unnatural
inhumane treatment these animals
face in traveling acts. Now,
as a sponsor of this legislation,
I feel a strong obligation to ensure
we bring about signifi cant
change. With over two-thirds
of Massachusetts voters in favor
of banning wild animal acts,
it’s clear our constituents desire
a future free of animal exploitation
for entertainment. This bill,
that has fi nally passed the House
after 23 years of being fi led, embodies
that sentiment, underscoring
our commitment to the
humane treatment of animals.”

FOSTER HOMES AND DOGS
(H 4911)
House 156-0, approved and
sent to the Senate a bill that prohibits
the Department of Children
and Families (DCF) from
prohibiting placement of a child
in a foster home solely based
on the presence of any specifi c
breed of dog in the home.
Supporters said that currently,
DCF is allowed to prohibit placement
of a child in a home with
German Shepherds, Pit Bulls and
Rottweilers.
“Current DCF regulations for
foster homes impose a blanket
ban on certain breeds of dogs.”
said sponsor Rep. Jack Lewis (DFramingham).
“Instead of eliminating
countless prospective
families, this bill empowers DCF

to undertake a holistic review of
the family, child and dog to ensure
appropriate placement. This
bill also amends reporting laws
for animal abuse, extending the
timeframe in which human services
employees or contractors
can report animal abuse.
“As co-chair of the Protecting
Animal Welfare Caucus … I am
proud to spearhead the passage
of this bill in the House. There is

PHARMACEUTICAL ACCESS,
COSTS AND TRANSPARENCY (H
4910)
House 158-0, approved a bill
that supporters say would make
major changes and reforms to
the state’s pharmaceutical system
by lowering the cost of
drugs at the pharmacy counter
and improving oversight of the
pharmaceutical industry. They
said the measure protects patients
and independent pharmacists
by regulating the pharmacy
benefi t manager (PBM) industry;
banning many of the industry’s
worst business practices; and reducing
or eliminating co-pays for
certain chronic conditions.
“Many folks in Massachusetts
face cost barriers in access to
the medications they are prescribed,
especially for many of
our most vulnerable residents
who live with chronic disease,”
said House Speaker Ron Mariano
(D-Quincy). “This bill aims to
reduce the out-of-pocket cost of
certain lifesaving drugs and ban
certain business practices that
are commonly used by PBMs to
increase their own profi ts at the
expense of patients.”
“[The bill] would go a long way
toward helping people in Massachusetts
living with diabetes and
other chronic conditions by reducing
barriers to care, improving
access to lifesaving and lifesustaining
medication and reducing
out-of-pocket costs for
prescriptions,” said Diabetes Patient
Advocacy Coalition Board
Chair, Hunter Limbaugh. “We
are encouraged by its progress
and will continue to advocate
for our most vulnerable neighbors
by working with the Massachusetts
Legislature all the way
to the governor’s desk.”
The Senate has already approved
a diff erent version of the
bill and a House-Senate conference
committee will try to hammer
out a compromise version.
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Jeff Turco Yes
LONG TERM CARE AND ASSISTED
LIVING (S 2889)
Senate 39-0, approved a bill
making changes to the state’s
long term care and assisted living
industry which supporters
said will take “a powerful step towards
delivering the high quality
and safe care that Massachusetts
seniors deserve by substantially
strengthening oversight and
enforcement while also requiring
facilities to create outbreak
plans should a health issue arise.”
Provisions include allowing
assisted living residences to offer
basic health services such as
helping a resident administer
drops, manage their oxygen or
take a home diagnostic test; requiring
long-term care facilities
to produce infection outbreak response
plans; requiring the Department
of Public Health (DPH)
to inspect facilities every nine to
15 months and authorizing it to
restrict or revoke licenses when
facilities are failing to provide adequate
care or not complying
with regulations; allowing for a
temporary manager to be appointed
to bring fl oundering facilities
into compliance; raising
penalties that the attorney general
can impose for the abuse
and neglect of patients; and creating
an LGBTQ+ bill of rights for
aging residents to prohibit discrimination
based on their LGBTQ+
identity or HIV status.
“Today the Senate took an important
step forward to ensure
that our aging residents have
safe, equitable and high quality
care,” said Senate President Karen
Spilka (D-Ashland). “It is far too
common—and unacceptable—
for residents in assisted living facilities
to receive subpar care. By
boosting transparency and accountability,
the Senate is continuing
to create a compassionate
commonwealth where all
residents can age with dignity.”
Sen. Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville),
Senate Chair of the Committee
on Elder Aff airs, said the
bill will improve care and stability
in nursing homes and assisted
living residences. “The pandemic
revealed starkly the lack of
nursing home preparedness for
the spread of fatal diseases,” said
Jehlen. “Many of us knew someone
or relatives of someone who
passed during that disaster.”
“Even homes with consistently
high ratings lost many residents,”
continued Jehlen. “This bill offers
measures to address issues
in nursing homes and assisted
living facilities; issues faced by
the LGBTQ+ community when
looking for care; bariatric care;
and pooled trusts. It also ensures
facilities that are not compliant
with safe standards face
consequences and are held responsible.”
The
House has already approved
a diff erent version of the
bill and a conference committee
will attempt to hammer out
a compromise version.
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL
HEALEY SIGNS FIREARMS
CHANGES (H 4885) — Gov.
Healey signed into law a bill that
would change some of the state’s
gun laws.
Provisions include cracking
down on untraceable “ghost
guns;” banning fi rearms in additional
public spaces like schools,
polling places and government
buildings; expanding the 2018
“red fl ag” law that allows school
administrators and licensed
health care providers to petition
a court to temporarily take
firearms away from someone
deemed a threat to themselves
or others; closing loopholes that
allow the modifi cation of legal
fi rearms into illegal automatic
weapons; and providing a legacy
clause so all fi rearms legally
owned and registered in Massachusetts
as of the eff ective date
of the bill will continue to be legal
and may be bought and sold
within the state.
“Massachusetts is proud of
our strong gun laws, but there
is always more work to be done
to keep our communities safe
from violence,” said Gov. Healey.
“This legislation updates our fi rearms
laws in response to the Supreme
Court’s misguided Bruen
decision. It cracks down on ghost
guns and 3-D printed weapons,
which I have long advocated
for, enhances our ability to prevent
guns from falling into dangerous
hands and invests in our
communities to address the root
causes of violence. This law will
save lives.”
“This legislation refl ects the input
of many, including law enforcement
officials, community
advocates, gun owners and
healthcare workers,” said Sen.
Cindy Creem (D-Newton). “It provides
the tools needed to better
protect our residents from the
epidemic of gun violence and
to prevent future tragedies. With
support from both chambers
and the governor’s signature
today, Massachusetts can once
again stand proudly by its record
as a national leader on gun safety
and more importantly, we will
save countless lives.”
“Massachusetts has taken a
huge step forward today towards
keeping our communities
safer from gun violence,” said
Ruth Zakarin, CEO of the MA Coalition
to Prevent Gun Violence.
“There is no one size fi ts all solution
to the gun violence crisis
that plagues our nation, and we
appreciate the comprehensive,
multifaceted approach that this
bill takes towards ending this epidemic.”
RE-ENTRY
INTO SOCIETY FOR
JAILED PRISONERS (S 2883) —
The Senate approved and sent to
the House a bill that would provide
a Massachusetts identifi cation
card to incarcerated individuals
who will soon be released
from prison and will be re-entering
society.
Supporters said the proposal
codifi es the Healey administration’s
eff orts to provide identifi -
cation to citizens returning to society.
They noted that many people
returning to society will do so
without any means of proving
who they are, which presents a
signifi cant challenge when accessing
government assistance
programs that help people secure
housing, food, employment
and various other basic needs.
They argued that denying individuals
this support is setting
them up for failure and making
it more likely that they will recidivate.
“I
am proud to be the lead
sponsor of this bill that will give
returning citizens access to the
services and support they need
to move on to the next chapter
of their lives and succeed in our
state,” said Sen. Sal DiDomenico
(D-Everett). “When an individual
leaves incarceration, they deserve
the chance to provide for
themselves and their families
without any obstacles in front
of them. I am committed to getting
this commonsense policy
over the fi nish line to ensure we
give every Massachusetts resident
the opportunity to thrive.”
DNA AND STATUTE OR LIMITATIONS
(H 4836) — The House
gave initial approval to a bill that
would amend the law to allow
prosecutors to bring rape charges
at any time if the perpetrator
is identifi ed through DNA evidence
collected from a victim.
Currently, the 15-year statute of
limitations is a barrier to prosecution
of serial off enders, as more
than 15 years may elapse before
a perpetrator is identifi ed
through DNA evidence.
“By eliminating the statute of
limitations when DNA evidence
is matched to a perpetrator, this
bill will enable more successful
prosecution of sexual predators,”
said co-sponsor Rep. Hannah
Kane (R-Shrewsbury). “I co-fi led
this bill … because every survivor
of sexual violence deserves
justice, and removing this barrier
to prosecution will help get dangerous
predators off the streets.”
“No arbitrary time limit should
stand in the way of survivors getting
justice for horrific crimes
they endure or prevent prosecutors
and law enforcement from
getting dangerous predators
off the streets,” said co-sponsor
Rep. Adam Scanlon (D-North Attleborough).
“[This] is an important
step toward removing that
obstacle that currently stands in
the way of justice for so many
survivors, and I will keep fi ghting
for them until this bill is law.”
QUOTABLE QUOTES
“Expanding our forest canopy
is one piece of the larger puzzle
to combatting climate change
in Massachusetts. With continuous
heat waves leading to higher
energy bills and greater greenhouse
gas emissions, our Greening
the Gateway Cities Program
leverages our state resources
and engages residents to help
plant trees and enhance public
health. Reducing the urban
heat island eff ect is a top priority,
and our non-profi t partnerships
… will help cool our neighborhoods,
towns and cities.”
--- Rebecca Tepper, Secretary
of the Offi ce of Energy and Environmental
Aff airs on awarding
$1 million in grants to support
tree planting in Gateway Cities
across the state.
“This collaborative initiative
strives to increase the parole system’s
transparency while supporting
individuals as they navigate
the reentry process and
plan for a successful return to
the community. The Executive
Offi ce of Public Safety and Security
is grateful to our many partners
in this eff ort and reaffi rms
our shared commitment to advancing
innovative programs
that enhance public safety, reduce
recidivism and build safer
communities.”
---Public Safety and Security
Secretary Terrence Reidy on the
launch of a pilot program to educate
and support incarcerated
individuals through the parole
process.
“We are excited to launch the
Massachusetts Ice Cream Trail, a
delicious route that highlights
the incredible diversity of our
dairy farms and ice cream shops.
Massachusetts has a vibrant agricultural
sector that thrives thanks
to the hardworking farmers who
diligently support our communities.
This new tourism trail is designed
to invite residents and visitors
to experience our creative
dessert off erings at traditional
parlors, innovative shops and local
farm stands.”
---Gov. Healey announcing the
launch of the Massachusetts Ice
Cream Trail, an initiative celebrating
the rich history of ice cream
making in the Bay State and encouraging
residents and visitors
to explore the fl avors and experiences
off ered by more than 100
ice cream destinations across
the state.
“Gov. Maura Healey, Speaker
Ron Mariano and Senate President
Karen Spilka are making
policy choices that come with
signifi cant economic costs to the
taxpayers. While they signal with
their lack of policy reforms that
the state can aff ord to cover the
fi nancial costs for the world’s migrants,
the center’s study shines a
light on what their lack of action
is costing the taxpayers. Massachusetts
taxpayers better be
ready for the fi scal time bomb
our governor and Statehouse
leaders have set us up for.
---Paul Craney, spokesman
for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance,
commenting on a new
study examining the economic
cost to Massachusetts taxpayers
for the state’s migrant and illegal
immigration crisis.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 2024
Body discovered in Walden Pond tentatively
identified as missing Lynn boy
Advocate staff report
T
he Saugus Police Department
was informed of the
presence of a body by some
young men who were seeking
to go fi shing in Walden Pond
near the Saugus-Lynnfi eld line.
Investigators believe the body
recovered from Walden Pond
on Tuesday (July 30) is Brian
Lopez, 17, of Lynn, who had
been reported missing since
last Friday.
“It is our duty to report that,
based on clothing and other
physical accessories, we
believe the deceased person
found in Walden Pond today
was Brian Lopez,” Essex County
District Attorney Paul Tucker
said in a press release isRESCUE

sued by his offi ce. “We have
been in touch with the Lopez
family and let them know this
sad news.”
The Massachusetts Offi ce of
the Chief Medical Examiner
will make the fi nal determination
as to cause of death and
whether the body found was
indeed that of Lopez.
The search for Lopez, which
began on Sunday morning,
had focused on the Lynn
Woods Reservation, which is
known to be one of his favorite
spots. At this time, investigators
do not believe anyone
else was involved in the death
and there is no indication of
danger to the general public.
Lopez attended Lynn Classical

an object on the ground. A subsequent
search located the object,
a paper towel containing
two clear plastic bags, both
fi lled with a powdery substance.
A search of the vehicle located
several additional plastic
bags containing powdery and
rock substances in a panel of the
car. Offi cers recovered approximately
32 grams of fentanyl and
48 grams of crack cocaine. Police
also found $1,933 in cash,
three deposit receipts totaling
$2,900, two cellphones, and De
Dios Carvajal’s wallet.

and support to the family and
friends of Brian Lopez during
this diffi cult time.”
“No parent should have
to endure the pain of losing
a child,” Tucker concluded.
“This was not the search conclusion
anyone wanted, and
our hearts are with the Lopez
family.”
DE DIOS CARVAJAL is being
held without bail at East Boston
District Court pending a dangerousness
hearing.
“As I stated in my swearingin
in front of the Town Council
and residents, one of my main
objectives is to continue quality
investigations into drug traffi

Chief Goodwin. “This is great
work by our Winthrop offi cers
in coordination with the Suffolk
County Sheriff’s Department
to remove a signifi cant
amount of illegal drugs from
our streets.”
These are allegations. All suspects
are considered innocent
until proven guilty.
