Bus-Only Lane could go permanent
By Adam Swift
T
he city is taking steps to
make a morning bus-only
lane on Broadway permanent.
Last week, the Traffi c Commission
voted to hold a public hearing
on proposed traffic ordinance
changes that would pave
the way to making the pilot program
permanent. The pilot program
was approved in 2020, but
because of the Covid pandemic,
it was not implemented until
this year. The MBTA bus-only
lane was okayed for the southerly
side of Broadway from 4 a.m.
to 9 a.m. on weekdays.
Hailing from Canada, Abe Waterman won fi rst place for “The Devil
Is An Angel, Too,” which is about accepting people for who they
are since everyone has fl aws, according to Waterman. See photo
highlights beginning on page 12. (Advocate photo by Tara Vocino)
“This is a request for the public
hearing to transfer the busonly
lane pilot to a permanent
program on the southern side of
Broadway,” said city Transportation
Manager Julie DeMauro. “In
addition to that, if this is a permanent
program [the traffi c ordinance]
would need to be revised
to include the language for
bus lanes and then the parking
penalties that would accompany
it. We are open to working with
the commission to tweak some
of this language that may not be
suffi cient or if there is more language
that needs to be added,

said.
Powers cited building the
we would do that as well.”
Eric Burkman, the MBTA’s director
of transit priority, who
oversees the bus lane programs,
said the Revere pilot program
has been fairly successful. With

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 29, 2022
Revere Police Narcotics Unit arrest Lynn man on
multiple trafficking charges
Advocate Staff Report
T
his week a joint investigation
led by the Revere Police
Narcotics Unit, with the assistance
of the Suff olk County
Sheriff , the Massachusetts State
Police, the Lynn Police and the
U.S Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA), ended with the
arrest of Michael Valentin, 22, of
Lynn. Detectives executed multiple
search warrants in Lynn
along with an arrest warrant for
Valentin stemming from an ongoing
drug investigation in Revere.
Valentin was charged with
multiple counts of Traffi cking
in Fentanyl, and Distribution of
Fentanyl in the City of Revere.
Valentin was taken into custody
by detectives without incident
at his Lynn home. After the
arrest, detectives executed numerous
search warrants at his
residence. Reportedly, evidence
recovered from the home was indicative
of an individual who was
in the business of distributing illegal
narcotics. The investigation
spanned through the Counties
of Suff olk, Essex and Middlesex
where Valentin was conducting
his illegal narcotics distribution
business. Reportedly, detectives
recovered 394 grams of the
deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl,
along with 264 grams of cocaine,
30 grams of crack cocaine
and nearly $14,000 in cash from
Valentin’s residence.
Valentin will be arraigned in
Chelsea District Court for two
counts of Traffi cking in Fentanyl
and one count of Distribution
of Fentanyl. He will also be
arraigned in Lynn District Court
for Traffi cking in Fentanyl over
200 grams and Traffi cking in Cocaine
over 200 grams.
The Revere Police along with
the assisting agencies are constantly
seeking to improve the
quality of life within their respective
cities. Removing these dangerous
narcotics dealers from
the city’s streets remains a top
priority for all agencies, as we
all work together to improve
the overall safety of the public.

Traffic Commission
approves commercial
parking ordinance change
Allows residents to park company vehicles
By Adam Swift
R
evere residents who own
businesses outside the city
will now be able to park their
commercial vehicles in Revere
without fear of getting fined.
Last week, the Traffi c Commission
approved the ordinance
change proposed by Ward 3
ANTHONY COGLIANDRO
Ward 3 Councillor
Councillor Anthony Cogliandro.
“There are business owners
outside the city who have their
vehicles registered at their houses,
so we are getting the excise
tax already, but unfortunately,
because the business is not in
Revere, they are being ticketed
$50,” said Cogliandro. “I believe
we should strike section one so
it doesn’t matter where the business
is, as long as there is a valid
business.”
If the commercial vehicles are
registered to someone’s home,
they should be able to park
there, Cogliandro said.
“Nothing else changes – the
size of the vehicle, one vehicle
per household – these things

progress battling the four-alarm blaze on Winthrop Ave. Saturday
morning. (Photos courtesy of Revere Fire Dept.)
By Adam Swift
A
n early morning four-alarm
fire on Winthrop Avenue
Saturday displaced 28 residents.
The Revere Fire Department
got the call to 912 Winthrop
Ave. shortly after 2:30 a.m. When
crews arrived, all the residents of
the six-unit wood-framed building
had safely evacuated.
The fi rst arriving companies
had heavy fi re showing in the
third floor, extending to the
fourth fl oor of the building, according
to Fire Chief Christopher
Bright.
“Firefighters made an aggressive
interior attack, knocking
down the visible heavy fi re,”
said Bright. “Unfortunately, the
fi re had already extended into
the void spaces of the third fl oor
ceiling, cock loft, and walls and
then up into the fourth fl oor of
the building.”
By then, deputy command
staff arrived at the scene and
Bright took command, ordering
the fi refi ghters out of the building
before a fourth alarm was
sounded to bring fresh fi refi ghters
to the scene due to the extreme
heat and humidity.
“The fi re attack transitioned
to an exterior attack as fi refi ghters
set up four aerial ladder pipe
master streams to cover all four
sides to the building,” Bright said.
After the fi re was under control,
exterior lines were shut
down, and fi refi ghters were ordered
back into the building to
extinguish the remaining hidden
pockets of fi re.
There were no reported injuries
to residents or fi refi ghters,
and the 28 displaced residents
were off ered assistance by the
Red Cross and the Salvation
Army. One resident did suff er
an on-scene medical emergency
and was taken to the hospital
by Cataldo Ambulance, according
to the chief.
The fi re was investigated by
the Revere Fire Department
and State Fire Marshal and the
cause is believed to be electrical
in the void space in the cock
loft above the third fl oor, according
to Bright.

I
t’s been a long week spent at
Revere Beach for RevereTV!
The International Sand Sculpting
Festival was back this summer
and went off without a
hitch. This event is most closely
followed and covered by RevereTV
every year. The studio provided
daily updates of the preparation
and competition on social
media, which were strung
together to create a total video
update playing on television.
Throughout the next few weeks,
coverage from this year’s festival
will be playing on the Community
Channel. You can view
all sand sculpting footage from
RevereTV on YouTube at any
time, including all videos from
past competitions. Congratulations
to this year’s winners
and all who participated in this
post-pandemic comeback. RevereTV
hopes everyone found
this weekend as festive and enjoyable
as the studio staff does.
Last Wednesday, the City of
Revere held a Colombian Flag
Raising Ceremony at City Hall to
commemorate Colombia’s independence.
The ceremony aired
live on YouTube, Facebook and
RTV Gov. It included speeches
from Colombian community
members from Revere and the
area, music and artistic presentations
and just a time overall to
come together and celebrate.
You can view replays of this ceremony
on RTV Gov or on YouTube
at any time.
This week, for the fi rst time,
the City of Revere hosted a Peruvian

hen passing by this
week’s “Beautiful Home”,
one will see a house with fl ower
boxes overfl owing with bright
pink petunias, two large pots
fi lled with petunias and white
impatiens, and ground cover
consisting of pink petunias, yellow
marigolds, and white impatiens
creating a beautiful and
welcoming feel.
But, if one just passed by, they
would have no idea of what the
back of this beautifully maintained
home looked like. Entering
along the side of the house
through a mass of red/orange
impatiens leads to a set of stairs
that take one to a spectacular
back yard that can only be described
as a sanctuary.
The entire area is covered with
granite slabs instead of grass. A
raised area covered by a pergola
has furniture for sitting and
relaxing and a dining area that
has a large table and chairs.
There is also a fi re pit surrounded
by seating where one can relax
and have quiet conversation.
All sides of the area have fl owers
growing on waist high walls.
And the work continues as an
outdoor kitchen is in the process
of being installed and a charming
miniature greenhouse has
just been completed but not
yet utilized.
Frankie Ippolito, the son of the
homeowner, informed us that
all of the work on the property
has been done to allow his
mother to be able to entertain
the many family members that
live in the area comfortably.
The Revere Beautification
Committee (RBC) commends
Mr. Ippolito for setting an example
of what a property owner
can do to make it beautiful and
urges all Revere residents to emulate
Frankie Ippolito so that Revere
becomes a lovelier place in
which to live.

Massachusetts Legislature Passes Major Clean Energy Legislation
carefully calibrated to provide
a portfolio of robust clean energy,
including off shore wind,
and decarbonize our largestemitting
industries, all while
attracting a world-class supply
chain, intensive workforce training
initiatives, and the investment
necessary to prepare our
electric distribution system for
the energy needs of the future.”
“As a member of the Environment,
Natural Resources and
Agriculture Committee, I am so
happy for the progress that was
made with clean energy legislation
this session,” said Representative
Jessica Giannino (DRevere).
“These newly passed
bills will help mitigate pollution,
incentivize green energy,
and modernize the electrical
grid and energy storage infrastructure
in Environmental Justice
communities like ours. I am
thankful for Speaker Mariano’s
continued leadership and support
throughout this session
and his continued commitment
to making sure Massachusetts is
a leader in clean energy.”
JESSICA GIANNINO
State Representative
BOSTON – This session, the
Massachusetts Legislature
passed a sweeping clean energy
bill, An Act driving clean energy
and off shore wind. Thelegislation
bolsters green transportation,
green buildings and clean
power production – including
offshore wind, solar, and
storage and networked geothermal
– while creating thousands
of new jobs and economic
benefi ts in the process. This
bill builds upon the Next Generation
Climate Roadmap bill,
which was passed earlier this
legislative session and overhauled
the state’s climate laws
by putting Massachusetts on a
path to reach a net-zero limit on
greenhouse gas emissions by
2050. Having been enacted by
the House and Senate on July
21, An Act driving clean energy
and off shore wind was laid before
the Governor for his signature
or other actions.
“At the beginning of this legislative
session, we codifi ed into
law the goal of reaching net
zero carbon emissions in Massachusetts
by 2050. As the end
of the session nears, the Legislature
has again passed historic
climate legislation that brings
the Commonwealth closer to
achieving that ever-important
goal,” said House Speaker Ronald
J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “This
legislation will make Massachusetts
a national leader in energy
generated from off shore wind,
while creating thousands of
new jobs in the process. I want
to thank Chairman Jeff Roy and
each member of the conference
committee, my colleagues
in the House, as well as Senate
President Karen Spilka and our
partners in the Senate for prioritizing
the well-being of our climate,
and for working diligently
to get this done.”
“From searing heat to rising
seas, climate change poses
a very real threat to Massachusetts
residents,” said Senate
President Karen E. Spilka (DAshland).
“To leave future generations
with a livable planet,
Massachusetts must take on
the role of a national and international
leader in the fi ght
against climate change. Reaching
our goal of net-zero carbon
emissions by 2050 will require
us to take the important steps
outlined in this legislation to expand
our clean energy capacity,
encourage the adoption of electric
vehicles, reduce emissions
from buildings, and foster highpaying,
green jobs for our workforce.
I’d like to thank my House
partner, Speaker Mariano, Senators
Barrett and Creem and all
of the conferees for their focus
and continued determination
to bring this legislation over the
fi nish line, as well as to all of the
Senators who played a role in
this bill’s creation and passage.”
“Massachusetts has an opportunity
to meet the urgency
of the climate crisis through
our nation-leading innovation,
workforce, and energy resources,”
said Representative Jeff rey
N. Roy (D- Franklin), who is the
House Chair of the Legislature’s
Joint Committee on Telecommunications,
Utilities and Energy.
“This timely and comprehensive
piece of legislation is
Off shore wind
To incentivize the development
of the off shore wind industry
in Massachusetts, this
legislation establishes a Massachusetts
Offshore Wind Industry
Investment Program –
to be administered by the Massachusetts
Clean Energy Center
(MassCEC) – consisting of
annual tax incentives, grants,
loans and other investments
through the fund, and assistance
from MassCEC in accessing
other state or federal economic
investment programs. It
also creates the Massachusetts
Off shore Wind Industry Investment
Trust Fund, which can be
used to promote the manufacture,
fabrication and assembly
of domestic supply chain components
of the off shore wind industry;
to stimulate increased fi -
nancing for permanent manufacturing
facilities; to advance
clean energy research, technology
and innovation, and to
prepare individuals for off shore
wind careers by supporting
workforce training at a range
of educational institutions and
through regional employment
boards.
With the g oal of making the
Massachusetts offshore wind
bidding process more competitive,
the legislation modifi es the
price cap to set clear criteria to
allow for off shore wind project
proposals that are cost-eff ective
and promote economic development
in the Commonwealth.
Under this legislation, the price
cap will be removed if three or
more off shore wind developers
submit bids, and if less than
three companies bid, a modifi
ed price cap would remain in
place. Preference will be given
to bids that invest in local manuGerry

are not going to change,” said
Cogliandro. “Also, on another
note, this will bring in more revenue
for the city. The commercial
fee, I believe, is $420 per year
for a commercial parking sticker,
so we will get more applications
and we will be able to limit it to
one per household.”
Parking Director Zachary
Babo said he supports the
change with one minor addition.
“I believe there should be
some language implemented to
prove that it is a valid business,
[such as] an insurance policy, like
some of the other local cities,”
said Babo. “I don’t believe just a
registration is enough.”
The Traffic Commission approved
Cogliandro’s proposal,
along with Babo’s recommendation
that there is some documentation
that there is a legal
business attached to the commercial
vehicle with the license.
In other business, the commission
approved allowing area residents
with parking stickers to
use the McKinley School parking
lot during non-school hours.
The commission also approved
a request by Ward 6 Councillor
Richard Serino to make Malden
Street southwesterly from
Washington Avenue to Newhall
Street a no parking anytime
area. In a letter to the commission,
Serino said the uptick
in parking along the stretch has
created a hazard for drivers.

Command at NAS Whiting Field
By: Major Rocque Garltand,
U.S. Air Force (VT-6)
N

he led the Shooters from the
front, and is respected and admired
as a servant leader who
always took care of his people,

the ceremony. Serving as the
Commanding Officer of VT-6
was Dale’s fi nal tour after a successful
career as a Marine aviator.

BBB Scam: If your driveway
needs paving or repairs, don’t
trust just anyone to do the job.
T
he Better Business Bureau
(BBB) Scam Tracker has numerous
reports of unscrupulous
contractors who trick homeowners
with supposedly good
deals. Homeowners end up with
shoddy pavement – or nothing
at all – to show for what they
paid and, in some cases, have
lost over $8,000 in the process.
How the scam works
A contractor leaves a pamphlet
or shows up at the door.
They claim they’ve been doing
work in the area and just happened
to notice the condition of
your driveway or sidewalk. Since
they’re already working nearby,
they can give you a discount. If
the price is agreeable, they will
then ask for a large percentage
of the fee upfront. There is some
hesitancy if there is a question
on the price or details about the
business and its location.
Once the transaction is complete,
the scam contractor might
disappear altogether. The contact
number or email might not
work, quickly helping you realize
that the contact information
was a sham. If you protest, the
contractor might use intimidation
tactics, such as threatening
a lawsuit, to convince you
to pay up.
In other cases, once complete,
the contractor’s work is shoddy
and unprofessional, but the
full payment has been made.
Reaching the company that the
contractor allegedly represented
is impossible, or the contractor
pretended to be from another
company. In any of these scenarios,
the chances of getting a
refund or the work fi xed are slim.
How to avoid contractor
scams
Be wary of unsolicited offers.
Most scams involving contractors
begin when a random contractor
tries to go out of their
way to offer an estimate that
was never requested.
Research companies and contractors
before you hire. Start
with BBB.org. If the contractor
has multiple negative reviews
and complaints, don’t hire them.
Often, a simple internet search
will reveal companies or individuals
who have been involved in
fraudulent activities or provided
unsatisfactory work to previous
clients.
Get everything in writing. Ask
for an estimate in writing before
payment is even discussed.
Don’t let a contractor start working
on a project until a written,
signed contract – outlining start
and complete dates, a detailed
description of the work to be
provided, material costs, payment
arrangements, and warranty
information – is provided.
Stagger payments. Most contractors
will require a percentage
of the total price upfront,
but it should never be the full
price before the work has beRevere

gun. Instead, agree to stagger
payments so that work can be
inspected at various stages of
the project.
Use safe payment methods.
Paying with a credit card provides
some peace of mind since
the credit card company will
help you if the company is fraudulent.
If you use a check, write it
to a company, not an individual.
Paying cash or using an electronic
wallet app is risky since
there is no way to stop the payment
or get some money back
if anything goes wrong.

metering to promote residential
solar and loosens the so-called
single parcel rule to help expand
solar on sites where it already
exists.
In addition to wind and solar
power, the bill addresses other
innovative sources of clean energy,
such as fusion energy and geothermal
power. Acknowledging
the harmful health and environmental
impacts of utility-scale
biomass power plant facilities,
this legislation removes biomass
from the list of energy-generating
sources that are allowed to
receive certain state incentives
for generating clean electricity.
To ensure that the Commonwealth
has adequate storage systems
to accommodate increasing
amounts of clean energy that
Massachusetts will be adding to
its energy portfolio, this bill directs
a study of how to optimize
the deployment of long-term energy
storage systems.
Grid readiness
The legislation also modernizes
Massachusetts’s electrical grid
and energy storage infrastructure.
It requires utility companies
to proactively upgrade the transmission
and distribution grid to
improve reliability and resilience
and accommodate the anticipated
signifi cant shift to renewable
forms of energy.
Green transportation
As the transportation sector
is the largest source of fuel
emissions in Massachusetts,
the bill takes steps to encourage
the use of electric vehicles,
including expanding and codifying
the Massachusetts Offers
Rebates for Electric Vehicles
(MOR-EV) incentive program
into statute. Under the
bill, the rebate amount will increase
by $1,000, to $3,500 for
passenger cars and light-duty
trucks. Moreover, electric vehicle
purchasers who trade in
their emission-producing vehicles
will be eligible for an additional
incentive of $1,000. The
program may include a pointof-sale
rebate model for individual
purchases that off ers consumers
savings at the point of
purchase or lease. The bill also
makes used vehicles eligible for
rebates. Further, the bill directs
the Department of Energy Resources
(DOER) to conduct an
outreach campaign to promote
awareness about the MOR-EV
program among consumers
and businesses in underserved
and low-income communities,
as well as in communities with a
large proportion of high-emission
vehicles.
To expand access to electric
vehicle charging stations, this
bill convenes an interagency
coordinating council to develop
and implement a charging
infrastructure deployment plan
in an equitable and comprehensive
manner.
The Department of Public
Utilities (DPU) would be required
to set vehicle electrifi cation
and greenhouse gas emission
requirements for electric
vehicles for transportation network
companies. In addition, to
ensure that zero-emission vehicle
charging remains aff ordable
for consumers, the bill requires
all electricity companies to submit
proposals to DPU for how
they will offer reduced electricity
rates for consumers who
charge their zero-emission vehicles
at off -peak times.
Finally, the bill takes historic
steps to address emissions that
come from MBTA bus fleets.
Starting in 2030, this bill requires
every passenger bus
that is purchased or leased by
the MBTA to be a zero-emission
vehicle. By the end of 2040,
the MBTA will be required to
operate exclusively zero-emission
vehicles. Underserved
and low-income communities
would be prioritized for the equitable
deployment of these zero-emission
buses.
Building decarbonization
To tackle the difficult issue
of emissions from the building
sector, the bill creates a 10-municipality
demonstration project
allowing all-electric building
construction by local option.
Participating municipalities
must receive local approval before
applying into the demonstration
project. The measure
has two important provisos:
first, each community must
meet certain aff ordable housing
or multifamily development
thresholds; and second, each
must exempt life sciences labs
and health care facilities from
the all-electric requirement.
The bill makes targeted enhancements
to the Mass Save
program, which provides rebates
and incentives for owners
and renters related to effi cient
appliances and other home
energy improvements. Under
the bill, priority for Mass Save
projects will be given to those
that maximize net climate, environmental
and equity impacts.
Beginning in 2025, Mass
Save funds will also be limited
in most instances from going to
any fossil fuel equipment.
This bill requires DPU to conduct
an adjudicatory proceeding
prior to approving any company-specific
plan under the
DPU’s future of heat proceedings.
In addition, the bill requires
DPU to convene a stakeholder
working group to develop regulatory
and legislative recommendations
for how Massachusetts
can best align the Commonwealth’s
gas system enhancement
program with the
state’s 2050 net-zero goal. The
working group must submit its
fi nal recommendations to the
Legislature by July 31, 2023.

HOUSE AMENDMENT
#807
T
here is amendment
#807 to the Massachusetts
House of Representatives
Bill # 5007
that is intended to limit
MassHealth estate recovery
to only the federally
required amounts and
authorizes MassHealth to
seek a waiver of estate recovery
for a work incentive
program for people
with disabilities.
Medicaid in the only
public benefit program
that requires properly
paid benefits to be recovered
from a deceased
MassHealth recipient’s
probate estate.
MassHealth has an Estate
Recovery Unit.
Estate recovery for nursing
home benefi ts is federally
mandated. Massachusetts
has adopted a
statute requiring estate recovery
for the costs of all
medical services provided
after a MassHealth recipient
reaches the age of 55,
even if at home and not in
a nursing home.
Most MassHealth recipients
have income well below
100% of the federal
poverty level ($13,596 in
2022) and those 65 and
over must have countable
assets of $2,000 or less.
One can still qualify for
MassHealth even though
he or she owns a home.
90% of estate recovery
collection is from the later
sale of the home after the
MassHealth recipient dies
and the home was included
in the probate estate.
The amendment seeks
to benefit low income
MassHealth recipients
owning a home by not allowing
the Estate Recovery
Unit to place a lien on
the home in order to seek
recovery for MassHealth
benefits paid after the
Mayor Brian Arrigo congratulated Councillor Powers during Friday’s
swearing in ceremony at City Hall.
MassHealth recipient dies.
This not does not apply
to nursing home benefi ts
paid but would apply to
any MassHealth recipient
living at home and receiving
benefi ts upon reaching
the age of 55.
This amendment seeks
to have MassHealth only
seek recovery for federally
mandated medical assistance
(e.g. nursing home
level care). Many people
receiving MassHealth
while age 55 or older and
still living in the community
are not aware that he
or she can transfer their
home to a Trust in order
to avoid probate. Once the
home is in a Trust, under
current MassHealth regulations,
the Estate Recovery
Unit cannot recover
from the sale of the home.
If the amendment were
to pass, even if the home
were not placed into a
Trust, a MassHealth recipient
who dies with the
home included in his or
her probate estate would
not have to worry about
not being able to pass all
of the equity in the home
to loved ones as a result
of a potentially significant
MassHealth lien. This
amendment and corresponding
House Bill 5007
is currently working its
way through the legislative
process at this time.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon
Hill Roll Call records representatives’
and senators’ votes
on roll calls from the week of
July 18-22.
$52.7 BILLION FISCAL 2023
STATE BUDGET (H 5050)
House 152-0, Senate 40-0, approved
and sent to Gov. Charlie
Baker a $52.7 billion fiscal
2023 state budget for the fi scal
year that began July 1, including
$1.23 billion in unrestricted general
government aid to cities and
towns, an increase of $63.1 million
over last year.
Other provisions include $187
million to fund the Massachusetts
Bay Transportation Authority
(MBTA); $226.2 million for a
safety and workforce reserve to
address ongoing safety concerns
identifi ed by the Federal Transit
Administration’s Safety Management
Inspection; $441 million
for the Special Education Circuit
Breaker, reimbursing school
districts for the high cost of educating
students with disabilities
at the mandated 75 percent reimbursement
rate; $23 million
for homeless student transportation;
$1.5 million to educate
middle and high school students
on the history of genocide; and
$75.3 million for sexual assault
and domestic violence prevention
services.
Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport),
chair of the Senate Ways
and Means Committee, said
the budget reflects the Senate’s
priorities by upholding fi scal
responsibility, supporting
the everyday needs of our residents
and ensuring the state’s
economic foundation remains
strong. “It builds long-term economic
security for the commonwealth
by leveraging the state’s
strong revenue growth to make
signifi cant investments in areas
like early education and care,
K-12 schools, mental health,
workforce development, housing
stability and much more,”
said Rodrigues.
“It provides for a significant
increase in local aid for our cities
and towns while investing in
many critical programs to support
our schools, seniors and veterans,”
said House Minority Leader
Brad Jones (R-North Reading).
“We fi nd ourselves in the enviable
position of having more revenues
available than initially anticipated,
but that makes it even
more important to set spending
priorities that are hopefully prudent
in the near-term and sustainable
moving forward.”
“As Massachusetts residents
and businesses continue to face
discouraging economic uncertainty,
the [budget] responds to
the fi nancial challenges facing
the commonwealth by balancing
a focus on immediate needs
such as workforce development,
with a focus on long-term investments
that are designed to grow
our economy in a sustainable
way,” said House Speaker Ron
Mariano (D-Quincy).
“Massachusetts is resilient, and
this budget helps us create the
conditions to continue being resilient
into the future,” said Senate
President Karen Spilka (DAshland).
“This budget incorporates
the lessons of the COVID-19
pandemic by continuing to save
money for a rainy day, invest in
support for the most vulnerable
among us, and chart a course to
ensure that Massachusetts remains
a competitive place to innovate
for generations to come.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the budget.)

SUSPEND RULES TO ALLOW
IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION
OF CLEAN ENERGY BILL (H 5060)
House 126-27, Senate 36-3, approved
a motion to suspend the
rules so that the House-Senate
conference committee version
of a clean energy bill can be considered
immediately. Under the
Legislature’s rules, all conference
committee bills must be fi led by
8 p.m. the day before they are up
for debate and a vote so that legislators
have ample time to read
the measure. This bill was not
fi led until 12:11 a.m. on Thursday
morning so without suspending
the rules, the bill could not be
considered until Friday morning.
Supporters of suspending the
rules said that it is very important
for the environment and to help
solve the problem of climate
change that this vital bill be up
for debate immediately so that
it can be sent to Gov. Baker.
“My vote against suspending
the rules was simply to ensure
that my colleagues were
given adequate time to review
a lengthy and complex piece
of legislation before voting on
it, which is why the 8 p.m. rule
is in place,” said GOP Minority
Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North
Reading).
(A “Yes” vote is for suspension
of the rules. A “No” vote is
against it.)

Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes
CLEAN ENERGY AND REDUCED
EMISSIONS (H 5060)
House 143-9, Senate 38-2, approved
and sent to Gov. Baker
legislation that would expand
the clean energy industry and
reduce emissions from the transportation
and building sectors
across the state with the goal
of reaching net-zero emissions
by 2050.
“Massachusetts has an opportunity
to meet the urgency of the
climate crisis through our nationleading
innovation, workforce
and energy resources,” said Rep.
Jeff Roy (D-Franklin), House chair
of the Committee on Telecommunications,
Utilities and Energy.
“This timely and comprehensive
piece of legislation is carefully
calibrated to provide a portfolio
of robust clean energy, including
off shore wind and decarbonize
our largest-emitting
industries, all while attracting a
world-class supply chain, intensive
workforce training initiatives
and the investment necessary to
prepare our electric distribution
system for the energy needs of
the future.”
“The bill dramatically increases
the cost of energy in Massachusetts
at a time when energy costs
already hover at record highs,
and the price of all other goods
are increasing due to record infl
ation,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman
(R-Sutton). “People won’t be able
to aff ord this legislation, especially
the drastic changes that
will be needed in older homes.
Everyone laments how expensive
housing is, yet the Legislature
just made housing more expensive
by passing this bill.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A
“No” vote is against it.)
Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes
Rep. Jeff Turco
5046)
House 120-33, approved an
amendment that makes changes
to the Bay State’s gun laws.
The amendment was attached
to a separate bond bill. The
changes were proposed in response
to a recent Supreme
Court ruling in in New York Pistol
and Riffl e vs Bruen, that a state licensing
authority could not ask
applicants applying for a license
to carry fi rearms to demonstrate
they have a special need or proper
cause to carry a fi rearm. The
court also ruled that the licensing
authority could not have
unfettered discretion to decide
whether that proper cause existed.
The
amendment refl ects the
court decision and eliminates
the requirement that applicants
demonstrate a “good reason” to
apply for a license to carry and
replaces existing, discretionary
“may-issue” language with specifi
c objective standards by removing
language that gives local
police chiefs discretion to decide
who is unsuitable for a license.
The amendment replaces
it with more codifi ed specifi c
standards that require “reliable,
articulable and credible information
that the applicant has
exhibited or engaged in behavior
suggesting that, if issued a
license, they may create a risk
to public safety or a risk of danger
to their self or others.”
Other provisions reduce the
amount of time a gun license
is valid from six to three years;
codify a requirement for an inperson
interview with a licensing
authority before someone
can obtain a gun license; and
Yes
Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes
CHANGES TO GUN LAWS (H
prohibit giving a license to persons
currently subject to a temporary
or permanent harassment
prevention order and persons
who pose a risk of danger
to themselves or others by having
a fi rearm.
“Today’s action provides our licensing
authorities with the clarity
they need in the wake of the
Bruen decision, and tells them
that we continue to believe in
them and to rely upon them to
ensure that, while responsible
gun owners will continue to receive
the license to own fi rearms,
those who cannot be entrusted
with a deadly weapon will not
be legally permitted to possess
one,” said amendment sponsor
Rep. Mike Day (D-Stoneham).
“The Massachusetts House
voted on a judicial technology
bond bill that included some
drastic changes to the commonwealth’s
gun licensing scheme,”
was the response posted on the
website of the Gun Owner’s Action
League (GOAL). “In a surprise
move that surprised no
one, with no warning the Democratic
leadership proposed the
amendment, which had nothing
to do with the bill, in the
morning and by the afternoon
rammed it through. Although
Republican leadership attempted
to block the amendment, in
the end it was included and the
bill unfortunately passed with,
disappointingly, some bipartisan
support.”
(A Yes” vote is for the amendment.
A “No” vote is against it).
Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes
Rep. Jeff Turco
No
ECONOMIC GROWTH AND
TAX RELIEF (S 3018)
Senate 40-0, approved a $4.57
billion economic development
and tax relief package.
The bill provides $500 million
one-time tax rebates to an estimated
2 million eligible people.
A $250 rebate would go,
by September 30, to individual
taxpayers and a $500 rebate
to married taxpayers. Eligibility
will be determined by annual income
reported in 2021, with the
minimum income required to
be $38,000, and the maximum
$100,000 for individual fi lers and
$150,000 for joint fi lers.
Beginning in 2023, several permanent
tax reductions would
take eff ect including increasing
the Child and Dependent Care
Credit from $180 per child to
$310 per child, as well as eliminating
the current cap of $360
for two or more children; increasing
the Earned Income Tax Credit
from 30 percent to 40 percent of
the federal credit; increasing the
senior circuit breaker tax credit
cap from $1,170 to $2,340; increasing
the rental deduction
cap from $3,000 to $4,000; and
increasing the estate tax threshold
from $1 million to $2 million.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 29, 2022
BEACON | FROM Page 18
Other provisions include $195
million for nursing facilities and
rest homes; $80 million for Community
Health Centers; $22.5
million to reduce gun violence;
$17.5 million for reproductive
and family planning services;
$150 million for the Massachusetts
Clean Water Trust; $100 million
to promote and accelerate
the adoption of electric vehicles;
$150 million to support the production
of workforce housing;
and $150 million for the Aff ordable
Housing Trust Fund.
The package also would allow
restaurants to off er “happy hour”
discounts on alcoholic beverages
if a town approves this policy
via local option; allow state
candidates for public offi ce to
use campaign funds for expenses
related to child care services;
allow some tenants who have
been evicted to seal the records
of their eviction case; ensure students
can obtain academic transcripts
for the courses they have
completed and paid for, rather
than having their entire transcript
withheld for outstanding
fees; and expand the ability of
homeowners to add accessory
dwelling units to their property.
“Massachusetts has so much to
off er as an innovation hub and
education leader in our country,
but it’s getting harder and harder
to live and work here,” said
Sen. Eric Lesser (D-Longmeadow),
Senate Chair of the Committee
on Economic Development
and Emerging Technologies.
“Housing prices are skyrocketing,
childcare costs are
out of control, infl ation is climbing,
businesses everywhere are
coping with supply-chain issues,
and families know that their dollar
is not going as far as it did only
a few months ago. Today, we
passed our economic development
bonding bill and tax relief
package to bring much-needed
fi nancial relief to residents here
in Massachusetts. This legislation
prioritizes housing, climate
resiliency, childcare access, workforce
development, downtown
revitalization, and the worker of
the future. As policymakers, we
must be prepared to meet the
moment ahead of us and ensure
that our commonwealth continues
to be a great place to work
and live.”
“These crucial changes to our
tax code will create much needed
targeted relief to families
across the commonwealth grappling
with how to make ends
meet,” said Sen. Adam Hinds (DPittsfield),
Senate chair of the
Committee on Revenue. “As prices
rise, we need to continue to
invest in the people who need it
most, including those who make
our economy run.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

MORE TAX RELIEF (S 3018)
Senate 7-31, rejected an
amendment that would reduce
the short-term capital gains tax
from 12 percent to 5 percent; increase
the no-income tax status
threshold from $8,000 to
$12,500; and increase the rental
deduction cap from $3,000 to
$5,000, instead of just to $4,000
which the original bill provides.
Supporters said that the state
is sitting on a surplus of more
than $3 billion and should return
more of that money to taxpayers.
They argued the state can easily
aff ord these additional tax cuts
that would help taxpayers during
this horrible economic time
of rising prices of gas, food and
just about everything else. They
noted that raising the no income
tax threshold would align the
state with the federal government
and provide direct relief to
more than 234,000 low-income
Massachusetts fi lers that would
no longer have to pay any state
income taxes.
Opponents said the state cannot
aff ord the loss of millions of
dollars in revenue from this additional
tax relief. They listed the
many tax cuts that are already in
the bill and said the amendment
is not necessary.
(A “Yes” vote is for the additional
tax relief. A “No” vote is
against it.)
Sen. Lydia Edwards No
ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL
PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST A PERSON WITH A NATURAL
HAIRSTYLE (H 5028) –The
Senate gave final approval to
and sent to Gov. Baker a bill that
would prohibit any person or entity
including educational institutions
workplaces and public
spaces from implementing any
policy that would explicitly target
someone who wears their
natural hairstyle. The measure
defi nes natural hairstyle as hair
texture, hair type and protective
hairstyles including braids, locks,
twists and other formations.
Supporters said this racial discrimination
occurs far too often
and argued it is time to put a stop
to it. They are hopeful the governor
will sign the bill which has
been worked on for years and
has fi nally made it to the governor’s
desk.
Sponsor Rep. Mike Day
(D-Stoneham) said the measure
would ensure that students and
workers won’t be forced to cut
their hair in order to participate
in activities or go to work.
GOLD STAR FAMILIES – The
Senate approved an amendment
fi led by Veterans and Federal
Aff airs Committee chair Sen.
John Velis (D-Westfield) that
would repeal a current law that
restricts Gold Star spouses from
receiving their annuity if they remarry.
The amendment would
also increase from $2,000 to
$3,000 the annual annuity payment
that Gold Star parents and
spouses receive annually from
the state.
“Not only has the annuity payment
level not increased in 16
years, but our commonwealth
still has laws on the books that
cruelly prohibit spouses from receiving
the annuity if they remarry,”
said Velis. “Think about how
archaic and unfair that is, that
we would penalize husband and
wives, who have lost their loved
ones and sacrificed so much
themselves, from trying to continue
on with their lives.”
MORATORIUM ON PRISON
CONSTRUCTION – The fate of the
amendment that imposes a fi veyear
moratorium on any prison
or jail construction in Massachusetts
is in Gov. Baker’s hands. The
ban is part of a $5.2 billion bond
bill to repair, modernize and upgrade
state buildings.
HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S
SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call
tracks the length of time that the
House and Senate were in session
each week. Many legislators
say that legislative sessions
are only one aspect of the Legislature’s
job and that a lot of important
work is done outside of
the House and Senate chambers.
They note that their jobs also involve
committee work, research,
constituent work and other matters
that are important to their
districts. Critics say that the Legislature
does not meet regularly or
long enough to debate and vote
in public view on the thousands
of pieces of legislation that have
been fi led. They note that the infrequency
and brief length of sessions
are misguided and lead to
irresponsible late-night sessions
and a mad rush to act on dozen
s of bills in the days immediately
preceding the end of an annual
session.
How to Sell Unwanted
Burial Plots
Dear Savvy Senior,
How do I go about selling unwanted burial plots in my
hometown cemetery? When my parents died about 25 years
ago my husband (at the time) and I bought two plots near them
in the same cemetery. But we’ve gotten divorced since then and
have both moved out of state. Besides that, I would like to be
cremated instead of buried.
Looking to Sell
Dear Looking,
Life changes such as relocating,
family disputes and divorce,
along with the growing
popularity of cremation in the
U.S., is causing more and more
people to sell previously purchased
burial plots they don’t
intend to use any longer. But,
depending on where you live
and the location of the cemetery,
selling a plot can be diffi -
cult. And, if you do sell it, you’ll
probably get less than what
you initially paid for it. Here’s
are a few tips to get you started.
Contact the cemetery: Your
first step in selling your unwanted
burial plots is to contact
the cemetery and fi nd out
if they would be interested in
buying them back, or if you’re
allowed to sell them yourself to
another person or family. And
if so, what paperwork will you
need to complete the sale and
is there a transfer fee?
Some states require sellers to
off er the plot back to the cemetery
before selling it to others.
Selling options: If you fi nd
that it’s OK to sell your plots
yourself, many people choose
to use a broker. There are a
number of companies, like
PlotBrokers.com and GraveSolutions.com,
that will list your
plots for sale and handle the
transaction for a fee and possibly
a commission. If you go this
route, you’ll sign paperwork
giving the broker permission
to work on your behalf. Listings
can last up to three years or until
the plots sell.
Alternatively, or simultaneously,
you can also list them
yourself on sites like The Cemetery
Exchange, GraveSales.com
along with eBay and Craigslist,
and handle the transaction
yourself. In the ad, be sure to
post pictures, describe the area
where the cemetery is located
and give the plot locations.
What to ask: Appropriate
pricing is key to selling your
plots. It’s recommended that
you fi nd out what the cemetery
is selling their plots for today
and ask at least 20 percent
less. If you’re pricing too close
to what the cemetery charges,
there’s no incentive for potential
buyers.
Beware of scammers: If you
choose to sell your plots yourself,
it’s not unusual for scam
artist to reach out and try to
get your personal fi nancial information.
Phone calls tend to
be more genuine than emails
and text messages.
Donate them: If you don’t
have any luck selling your plots,
and if money isn’t an issue, you
can donate them to charity
such as a religious congregation,
a local veteran’s group or
an organization that aids the
homeless. To get a tax deduction,
you’ll need an appraisal,
which a cemetery or broker
may supply for a fee.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 29, 2022
RULING | FROM Page 1
to oversee the necessary repairs
to the property. The City of Revere
ruled the Water’s Edge highrise
building was unfi t for habitation
following a fi re on the 11th
fl oor in June.
“As Mayor of the City of Revere
I am appalled by the lack of action
taken…by the Boston Housing
Court on our city’s request for
Emergency Receivership at 370
Ocean Avenue,” said Arrigo following
the ruling last week. “If there
was ever a question of whether
this is an emergency the judge
only needs to talk with the 103
individuals, including young children,
who have been displaced
from this property since a fi re on
June 21, 2022.”
The judge refused an evidentiary
hearing and would not hear
testimony from Revere fi re and
safety offi cials, according to the
mayor. “It is beyond disappointing
that the legal system – set up
to protect innocent people from
the harm of irresponsible and
careless landlords – has failed in
its duty when they were called
on by those most in need,” Arrigo
stated.
In addition to fi ling for receivership,
Arrigo said, the City of Revere
has taken steps to foreclose
on all three Ocean Avenue properties
owned by the Carabetta
family for outstanding tax title issues.
Currently, the property owners
have $1.9 million in past taxes
owed to the city.
The City of Revere and Carabetta
are due back in court on August
10 to report on eff orts to make
improvements to the high-rise
apartment building.
This week, Arrigo said Carabetta
has not acted in good faith recently,
or over the years, to address issues
at its properties and cannot
be trusted to fi x code issues at
Ocean Avenue. “The City of Revere
works cooperatively with all property
owners to ensure permits are
properly issued,” Arrigo said. “Unfortunately,
Water’s Edge has acted
without good faith in responding
to the City’s concerns. It has
acted without care for its tenants
and, according to its own contractor,
has been grossly negligent in
failing to provide proper maintenance
at 370 Ocean Avenue, even
for important life safety systems.”
Arrigo said the Carabettas cannot
say with a straight face that
they are doing everything possible
for their tenants while for
more than a month since the fi re
BUSLANE | FROM Page 1
el time has improved by about
two minutes from Revere Street
down to Revere Beach Parkway.
“Two minutes – you might think
that’s not too much, but it’s a total
of three minutes travel time,
so that is about half as long to
travel that stretch of road as it
was before,” said Burkman.
There has also been an increase
in reliability, with less of
a discrepancy between the lonthey
have refused to let tenants
use their vacant units at nearby
properties. “The Carabettas have
proven that they would rather
see their tenants on the street
than in their vacant units,” he said.
“They cannot be trusted to correct
the severe code violations at this
building. The City will continue to
fi ght to protect its residents.”
In a statement released to the
media, the Water’s Edge Limited
Partnership said, “The owners

corridor during the pilot program
as well, he said.
Burkman also noted that there
have been healthy ridership levels
along the Broadway corridor.
Ridership along the 116 and 117
lines currently stands at about
82 percent of pre-Covid levels,
which is higher than on most
bus routes. “One of the reasons
we selected this corridor is because
these routes have a lot of
ridership; even with Covid there

Director Zachary Babo
said that any parking issues
along the route usually occurred
between 8 and 9 a.m., when
people were dropping their kids

than three-quarters of them
