he School Committee recently
voted to approve one
of three recommended changes
to the employment contract
with Superintendent of Schools
Priya Tahiliani.
The first change, which the
committee accepted in a 6-2
vote, will remove the following
language from the contract:
“Should the Superintendent
choose to terminate the contract
without good cause and
leave the employment of the Everett
Public Schools to work as a
Superintendent in another Massachusetts
school district prior
to its expiration date, she shall
compensate the Committee an
amount equal to 10% of her annual
salary.”
The proposed amendment
regarding grounds for termination
was to change “good cause
by a majority vote of the School
Committee” to “just cause by
vote of two thirds of the entire
membership of the School Committee.”
During the December 6
meeting, Ward 4 Member Dana
Murray said changing the language
from “good cause” to “just
cause” would benefi t the committee
in the event of a lawsuit.
However, the amendment was
voted down in a 5-3 decision.
The committee also voted
6-2 to postpone the option of
extending Tahiliani’s contract
from February 28, 2024, to June
30, 2025. The committee is expected
to vote on that change
during its fi nal meeting of the
year on December 20.
However, three incoming
committee members were
staunchly opposed to action
being taken by the current committee.
Ward
3 Member-Elect Jeanne
Cristiano said it was “bad business”
for the committee to take
this kind of action so late in the
year. “It’s my opinion that it’s a violation
of Massachusetts General
Law,” she said. “The chairman
allowing this on the agenda is an
obvious power play. You should
not allow a lame duck chairman
and most of the School Committee
to negotiate the superintendent’s
contract this year.”

cluding $400 million in American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
funds to transform the behavioral
health sector, with $122
million dedicated to recruiting
and retaining nearly 2,000
behavioral professionals. On
November 24, the Massachusetts
House referred An Act
addressing barriers to care for
mental health to its Committee
on Ways and Means.
The Mental Health addressing
barriers to care (ABC) Act
2.0 is driven by the recognition
that mental health is as
important as physical health
for every resident of the Commonwealth
and should be
treated as such. The bill proposes
a wide variety of reforms
to ensure equitable access
to mental health care and
remove barriers to care by supporting
the behavioral health
workforce.
“For too long, mental health
has been overlooked within
our health care system, leaving
many Massachusetts residents
without access to the
critical services and treatment
that they need,” said DiDomenico.
“As we know, the COVID-19
pandemic has only increased
the need for critical mental
as a collaborator in developing
the annual plan for promotion
of behavioral health with
the newly developed offi ce of
behavioral health promotion,
which would bring an experienced
voice in violence prevention
and trauma-specific
intervention and rehabilitation.
Additionally, the Offi ce of
Behavioral Health Promotion
would be tasked with identifying
and disseminating evidence-based
practices to prevent
violence through trauma-specifi
c intervention and

health resources, which are
just as important as those for
physical health…I am proud
of the steps my colleagues in
the Senate and I have taken to
remove barriers and increase
parity in mental health care.”
Some of the Senate bill’s
amendments focus on suicide
prevention and mental
health care for people who
are incarcerated. DiDomenico
fi led an amendment which
was adopted in the fi nal bill.
His amendment mandates the
Department of Youth Services
rehabilitation.
“The fact of the matter is
that a lot of behavioral health
cannot be addressed without
also the influences of community
violence and its surrounding
trauma. This has
touched all of our districts, including
mine,” said DiDomenico.
“As we all know, the work
surrounding violence prevention,
at-risk youth, and trauma-informed
treatments is
far from over. But I am excited
to have this amendment provide
progress and to continue
our work with our often-overlooked
communities”.

Wynn looking to build 1,800-seat event
center across from Encore
A rendering of the proposed mixed-use event venue known as East of Broadway
(Photo Courtesy of Elkus Manfredi Architects)
By Christopher Roberson
A
s if a five-star hotel and
highly profitable casino
were not enough, Wynn Development
recently submitted a
proposal to construct a mixeduse
event venue on Lower
Broadway. At 900,000 square
feet, the building, known as
East of Broadway, would be adjacent
to Encore Boston Harbor.
It would feature a two-story
restaurant, retail space, a
seven-floor parking garage
with spaces for 2,310 vehicles
and an event center with seating
for 1,800 patrons.
The focal point of the $3.7
million project would be a 425foot
long, enclosed pedestrian
bridge with climate control.
The bridge would be located
50 feet above Lower Broadway
between Mystic and Dexter
Streets. In addition to always
being accessible to the public,
the bridge would feature
moving walkways.
“The development plan proposed
by Wynn Development
supports the vision and goals
Everett has laid out in our Lower
Broadway District Urban Renewal
Plan, which are to further
transform Lower Broadway
into an inviting and vibrant
place that will create
jobs and generate revenue for
the city and the people of Everett,”
said Mayor Carlo DeMaria.
“The addition of the pedestrian
bridge as part of the proposed
plan will increase safety
for Everett residents and all
pedestrians and will serve as a
gateway to a revitalized Lower
Broadway District and a new
future for Everett.”
“Wynn Development looks
forward to feedback from the
city of Everett and to collaborating
with the community as
we plan for the first phase of
our proposed entertainment
district. This project will further
deliver on our promise to
create jobs, increase economic
impact, and generate revenue
for the city of Everett, its
residents, and the region,” said
Wynn Development President
Christopher Gordon. “Over
time, the restaurants, shops,
entertainment venue and
the beautiful public pedestrian
bridge created by this proposed
development will continue
the transformation of
Lower Broadway into an exciting
destination and a welcoming
entryway into Everett.”
The site itself sits on the east
side of Broadway between
Dexter and Mystic Streets,
which puts it in the Lower
Broadway Economic Development
District. This project
would be a key factor in converting
the industrial area on
Lower Broadway into a mixeduse
neighborhood. It would
also allow for the future implementation
of Broadway Complete
Streets.
“I’m excited to see Wynn Resorts
has begun to take steps
towards making the East of
Broadway project a reality,”
said Ward 3 Councillor Anthony
DiPierro. “This will continue
the transformation of Lower
Broadway and provide a
great deal of tax revenue and
jobs for our residents.”
However, Ward 2 Councillor
Stephanie Martins erred
on the side of caution. “I am
all about progress and a huge
fan of fun places to go but it
is a tough balance,” she said.
“We want Everett to continue
to move forward but we
also want to prevent displacement
and make sure we are
giving our small businesses
the investment they need and
an opportunity to thrive and
compete. Bigger private projects
require more community
investment by the city to
balance it out. I hope we can
do that so we can elevate the
city as a whole rather than dividing
it.”

Messinger Insurance celebrates
ll®'§ll 100th Anniversary! �n
Harry Read Messinger, Founder
Harry Read Messinger carne from humble
beginnings. Born in Berwick, Nova Scotia in 1890,
he was the son of Thaddeus and Jennie
(Hamilton) Messinger.
Mr. Messinger was a traveling salesman
and often made trips from Nova Scotia to the
New England states. In 1904, Thaddeus and
Jennie moved the family to Everett. Thaddeus
continued to make frequent business trips to the
Maritimes and in 1907, du ring one of those trips,
he fell iii and died in his native land.
Jennie, now left alone to raise Harry and
his three sisters - Madelin, Flora and Georgie. Ms.
Messinger went to work as a bookkeeper.
After leaving school, Harry went straight to work for a pipe manufacturing company. At just 16Partners
and Brothers,
Timothy, Daniel, and David LaRovere
years-old, he followed in his father's footsteps and represented the company throughout the Southern
United States and the West lndies. Though stili a teenager, Harry spent almost two years on the road
from 1906 to 1908. A year later, he was hired by a Holland, Michigan company as a traveling salesman.
In 1913, Harry left the United States for England where he went to work in the banking industry.
He was working there when WWI broke out in Europe. When his employer, Edwin Montagu, was
appointed Minister of Munitions in July of 1916, he took now Lt. Messinger with him to the Ministry.
After spending months supervising the receipt of supplies in Archangel, Russia, Harry wanted to get in
the fight. lnstead, he was transferred to the Ministry's American Office in Baltimore and New York.
Finally in January of 1918, his transfer was approved and he was sent to Wycliffe College in
Toronto to train as a pilot in the Royal Air Force. In June, he sailed for the front. Serving mostly in
France, Harry took on dangerous missions, including one that required five days of flying and refueling
while scouting enemy positions. While his Sopwith Camel was hit by enemy fire du ring the patrol, he
escaped unhurt.
In February of 1919, Harry narrowly escaped death when the wing of a surrendered German
piane that he was testing, crumbled and the piane crashed pinning his right leg under the engine. Harry
was transported to a hospital in London, where he remained unconscious for several days. The doctors
had prepared to amputate his leg, but his serious condition prevented the operation. By the time he
regained consciousness, doctors no longer believed amputation was necessary. While he recovered
from his wounds, his right an kle would bother him throughout his life. After spending further time
recovering and being treated in Montreal, Harry returned to Everett in August of 1919.
Harry moved in with his mother, widowed sister, Georgie and her young son at 44 Hancock
Street. Stili recovering from his wounds, Harry, now 29 years-old, contemplated his future. Georgie,
working as a stenographer for a real estate company, may have been the influence through her work
that Harry decided to go into insurance.
In 1921, Harry opened the Harry R. Messinger lnsurance Agency on the corner of Cottage Street

employees, is Patricia Garofano, left, who worked
at Messinger Insurance for 41 years; and Patricia
Forgione, who worked at Messinger for 46 years.
and Broadway in the old Plaisted Building. When that building was condemned in 1925, he moved to
475 Broadway, where it remains until today.
In 1922, Mr. Messinger married Gertrude Connors of Boston. The couple would have two
children; David and Mary.
Harry was known as a strong supporter of Everett High's football team. In 1936, he donated a
dog named Major to Everett High School football trainer Jack Comerford. The dog became the football
team's mascot and a celebrity in Everett Square. Major was so popular that he would make the
rounds in the Square and receive tidbits of meat from the local butchers.
Harry was an active mem ber of the Everett business and civic communities included the
American Legion, the Board of Trade (later the Cham ber of Commerce), and especially the Kiwa n is. He
became an American citizen in 1925.
Harry passed away on March 30, 1953.

and The Educational Justice Institute
(TEJI) of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology
(MIT) have announced a new
partnership to expand education
around racial equity issues
in the criminal system. The Middlesex
County District Attorney’s
Office will facilitate two clinics
to educate students about
prosecutorial work and the daily
functions of the court system
with the goal of tasking the participants
to develop innovative
solutions to improve data management,
increase transparency
and view outcomes through
a racial equity lens.
“In Middlesex County, we
have deepened and expanded
our commitment to racial justice
in our prosecutorial work,”
said Ryan. “One of the most critical
components of that work is
education. I am excited about
this partnership which will allow
us to interact with students
to provide them with a comprehensive
overview of what we
do day-to-day and also provide
them a view into our broader
policy work. MIT educates some
of the best and brightest minds
in the world and this partnership
will allow us to access that talent
to develop new ideas to increase
transparency, accountability
and to enhance the restorative
components of the system.”
As part of the curriculum, students
will hear personal perspectives
from prosecutors, defense
attorneys, judges and others
with firsthand experience.
They will learn about both data
management systems in law
enforcement and some of the
practical challenges which arise
in collecting and reporting that
data to the public. Participants
will complete relevant reading
and journal assignments and, as
a final project, will present proposals
to improve specific areas

Fire officials offer sage advice during holiday season
By Christopher Roberson
F
ire officials are once again
reminding residents to be
mindful of fire safety during
the holidays, particularly with
Christmas trees.
“Place your tree carefully so
it doesn’t block any exits you
might need in an emergency,”
said State Fire Marshal Peter
Ostroskey. “Although there are
not a lot of Christmas tree fires,
they are very serious when
they do happen. The best way
to prevent a Christmas tree fire
is to water it well every day.”
It is almost impossible to
stop a tree fire as it only takes
eight seconds for the flames
to reach the ceiling. Less than
20 seconds later, a flashover
would occur, igniting everything
else in the room.
According to John Machnicki,
a fire safety professional
at Travelers Insurance, the
heat from a burning Christmas
tree can be the equivalent
of “40,000 100-watt light
bulbs.” “Christmas trees are
powerful fuel sources, especially
when dry,” he said. “The
tree becomes a fuel that burns
very rapidly and gives off a lot
of heat energy.”
In less than 20 seconds, a dry Christmas tree can become
a blazing inferno.

In addition, Ostroskey said
that when buying a tree, needles
should not fall off when
pulling your hand along the
branches. If that happens, the
tree is too dry.
Placement is also a key factor.
Ostroskey said the tree
should not block doors or windows
that would be used to
escape a fire. “Santa may be
able to escape up the chimney,
but you’ll need two clear
pathways out of each room,”
said Ostroskey.
The tree should also be three
feet away from heating vents,
fireplaces or other heat sources.
According to the U.S. Fire
Administration, 25 percent of
Christmas tree fires are caused
by putting a tree too close to
a heat source. A Christmas
tree will “act like a blowtorch
in your living room” once it
catches fire.
According to Cavallo &
Signoriello Insurance, real
Christmas trees are three times
more likely to catch fire than
an artificial tree. Therefore, real
trees should be kept no longer
than four weeks.
When decorating the tree, it
is recommended to use newer
LED lights. The lights should
be off when no one is home
and before going to bed at
night. When decorating outside,
consumers should use
lights that are specifically for
outdoor use. Fire officials also
suggest using a ground-fault
circuit interrupter, which can
be installed by an electrician or
purchased for portable use. In
addition, consumers should be
aware that a 15-ampere circuit
can support 1,800 watts and a
24-ampere circuit can support
2,400 watts.
“No one thinks they will experience
a fire, but sadly so
many do over the holidays,”
said Ostroskey. “Be sure that
your smoke and carbon monoxide
alarms are in good working
order and review your
home escape plan with family
and guests.”

Arrest made in Encore shooting incident
By Christopher Roberson
S
teven Gonzalez, 33, of
Peabody, has been arrested
and charged with the December
1 shooting incident in
the parking garage of Encore
Boston Harbor.
On the evening of December
1, members of the State
Police Gaming Enforcement
Unit and Everett Police Department
responded to Encore
to a report of shots fired.
Although police were initially
unable to locate Gonzalez,
they allegedly found ballistic
evidence identifying him as
the shooter. Police also determined
that Gonzalez fired
“multiple rounds” stemming
from an altercation with other
individuals. No injuries
were reported and police later
learned that Gonzalez fled

In addition, DiDomenico
lauded the herculean efforts of

“His love for his student musicians
shows in everything he

Police obtained a warrant
from Malden District Court
charging Gonzalez with
armed assault with intent to
murder, discharging a firearm
within 500 feet of a building,
carrying a firearm without a
license and unlawful possession
of ammunition.
The State Police Violent Fugitive
Apprehension Section,
a U.S. Marshals Task Force and
other law enforcement agencies
reportedly gained intelligence
indicating that Gonzalez
was staying at an apartment
in Salem. Shortly thereafter,
police arrived at the residence
and took Gonzalez into
custody without incident.
Under state law, Gonzalez, if
convicted, could face up to 24
years in prison. The investigation
remains ongoing.

Senior musician Breetika Maharjan
said the experience of
performing at Pearl Harbor was
certainly a memorable one. “It
has made my senior year so,
so special,” she said. “Especially
since last year, it was fully
virtual.”
U.S. Air Force Colonel Larry
Lang, who conducted the performance,
expressed his excitement
about being on stage
with the Everett High School
Marching Band. “You can just
feel the spirit in the band,” he
said. “I’m so thankful to have
the opportunity to work with
them.”

CHA named a winner of WorkWell Massachusetts Award
C
ambridge Health Alliance
(CHA), a community
health system serving Cambridge,
Somerville and Boston’s
metro-north region, has
been named a 2021 WorkWell
Massachusetts Awards
program award winner in the
large group category for exemplary
worksite health promotion.
WorkWell Massachusetts
Awards is a corporate
award program created by
the Worksite Wellness Council
of Massachusetts (WWCMA),
a nonprofit organization
dedicated to the advancement
of worksite wellness programs.
The awards, powered
by Healthiest Employers, recognize
CHA's achievements
in developing, implementing
and participating in corporate
health improvement and wellness
programs.
CHA’s employee wellness
program supports the well-being
of coworkers, patients and
MIDDLESEX | FROM PAGE 6
of the current system. The Middlesex
County District Attorney’s
Office will then work with the
students to review their proposals
and use them to inform the
work of the Office.
“The goal is to broaden our
community collaborations
around our work. Through conversations
in the classroom and
by reviewing the reflective work
of the student’s final assignments,
we will increase the dicommunity
by fostering a
health conscious and supportive
culture. The growth of the
program has been steady, providing
access to a wide variety
of programs that support selfcare,
movement, nutrition and
rest. Annual offerings have included
virtual exercise classes,
financial and home buying
seminars, discounts to
programs at CHA Center for
Mindfulness and Compassion
and local fitness facilities, Blue
Bikes and on-site CSA with
Farmer Dave’s. Additionally,
versity of ideas and perspectives
coming together to improve our
criminal system,” said Ryan.
TEJI Founder/Co-Director Lee
Perlman gave the MIT side of
the equation: “I’ve been bringing
MIT students into prisons and
jails for years to take class alongside
incarcerated students. I’ve
seen how life changing it is for
MIT students to not simply read
about, but see with their own
eyes a sector of the criminal justice
lifecycle, and meet some of
the people most affected. Our
partnership with DA Ryan’s office
is the next step in this proximate
education – they’ll get to
see the real workings of a DA’s
office that is striving to improve
justice outcomes, meet the people
doing the work, and participate
in creating processes to assure
equal justice.”
TEJI Co-Director Carole Cafferty,
an advocate for justice-involved
people for over 30 years,
added: “Socially engaged academic
opportunities such as
the program hosts a wide variety
of internal engagement
programs, such as a well-being
podcast, team walking
challenge, company cookbook,
and virtual performing
arts showcase.
CHA Wellness Manager
Rebecca Toutant attributes
much of the program’s success
to its support from employees,
partners and department
leaders. “The program is
an opportunity for connection

these allow MIT students to hone
their empathy skills and use their
intellectual gifts to directly improve
people’s lives. Our partnership
with DA Ryan and her team
will provide students with firsthand
experience while contributing
to solutions for complex social
justice challenges within our
communities.”
The winter class starts on Tuesday,
January 4, 2022, and the
spring semester course starts on
February 2, 2022. This course will
be taught by Ryan, Assistant District
Attorney Aliya Khalidi and
MIT alumnus Assistant District Attorney
Michael Berry, in conjunction
with Cafferty and Perlman.
This partnership builds on the
Office’s past work to explore and
implement best practices in prosecutorial
work. In June the Middlesex
District Attorney’s Office
hosted an Inaugural Data
Summit that brought together
thought leaders and experts
in data management to explore
best practices nationally.

GOV. CHARLIE BAKER ANNOUNCES
HE WILL NOT RUN
FOR RE-ELECTION – Gov. Baker
announced that he will not seek
a third term as governor of Massachusetts
in 2022 while Lt. Gov.
Karyn Polito also said she will
not seek the governorship. This
leaves the race wide open.
“This was an extremely difficult
decision for us,” said the pair
in a joint statement. “We love the
work and we especially respect
and admire the people of this
wonderful commonwealth. Serving
as governor and lieutenant
governor of Massachusetts has
been the most challenging and
fulfilling jobs we’ve ever had.”
“We have a great deal of work
to do to put the pandemic behind
us, keep our kids in school
and keep our communities and
economy moving forward. That
work cannot and should not be
about politics and the next election.
If we were to run, it would
be a distraction that would potentially
get in the way of many
of the things we should be working
on for everyone in Massachusetts.
We want to focus on recovery,
not on the grudge matches
political campaigns can devolve
into.”
“Today is about the future. This
next year needs to be about recovery,
not about politics. We are
grateful for the chance we have
been given to serve the people of
this great state and will give it our
all between now and the end of
2022,” concluded the statement.
Four candidates had already
entered the race before Baker’s
announcement. Democratic
candidates include Incumbent
State Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz
(D-Boston), former State Sen. Ben
Downing and Harvard professor
Danielle Allen. The only GOP candidate
currently in the race is former
State Rep. Geoff Diehl.
The two biggest names being
tossed around as possibilities in
political circles on the Democratic
side include Attorney General
Maura Healey and U.S. Secretary
of Labor and former Boston Mayor
Marty Walsh.
THE HOUSE AND SENATE:
There were no roll call votes in the
House or Senate last week. This
week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports
local senators’ roll call attendance
records for the 2021 session. No
more roll calls are planned in the
Senate until January 2022.
The Senate held 115 roll calls
in the 2021 session. Beacon Hill
Roll Call tabulates the number
of roll calls on which each senator
votes and then calculates
that number as a percentage
of the total roll call votes held.
That percentage is the number

referred to as the roll call attendance
record.
More senators have 100 percent
roll call attendance records
this year than at any time in recent
memory. Thirty-seven of the
39 members did not miss any roll
calls and have 100 percent roll
call attendance records. This can
be attributed to the fact that under
emergency rules adopted because
of the COVID-19 pandemic,
the vast majority of the 39 senators
are not in the Senate chamber
during a session. Most are
watching and listening to the session
from their home or business
and voting remotely. Senators’
votes are communicated to Senate
officials during the session or
prior to the session if senators are
informed in advance that there
will be a roll call vote. If a member
wants to speak on an issue under
consideration, they do so on a
separate “debate phone line” and
their voice is then heard in the
Senate chamber and by anyone
watching the broadcast online.
The number of senators who
had 100 percent roll call attendance
records in the prior four
years was 33 in 2020; 28 in 2019;
20 in 2018; 24 in 2017; and 17 in
2016.
Sen. Mike Barrett (D-Lexington)
and Senate President Karen
Spilka (D-Ashland) were the only
two senators who missed any roll
calls this year.
Barrett missed 13 roll calls (11.4
percent) out of 115 for a roll call
attendance record of 88.6 percent.
“In my capacity as State Senate
chair of the Utilities and Energy
Committee of the Legislature,
I attended the U.N. Climate
Change Conference in Glasgow
for its climactic second week,”
Barrett told Beacon Hill Roll Call.
“In doing so, I missed several roll
calls back in the Senate, all taken
on a single day. I regret this,
but feel my responsibilities to
my constituents were best satisfied
during that particular time
by my working at the U.N. event.
Achieving emissions reductions
relies heavily on ‘subnational’
governments like state legislatures,
where so many of the actual
programs are designed and
funded.”
“Over 400 private jets crammed
Scotland’s airports and Massachusetts
sent several of our
state’s leading green elites to virtue
signal and share their moral
authority with other self-absorbed
bureaucrats and politicians,”
said Paul Craney, spokesman
for the Mass Fiscal Alliance.
“While his legislative colleagues
were trying to determine how to
best help their constituents with
COVID relief money, the Lexington
state senator was boasting
about serving on a climate panBHRC

el in which he spoke to ‘legislators’
from other countries including
from China and Russia. Can
Massachusetts’ most narcissistic
green elite be this tone deaf or is
he there for the self-celebration
and pageantry?”
It’s a Senate tradition that the
Senate president only votes occasionally.
Current Senate President
Karen Spilka follows that
tradition and only voted on 45
(39.1 percent) of the 115 roll calls
while not voting on 70 (60.9 percent)
of them.
Sen. Spilka’s office did not respond
to repeated requests by
Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment
on her voting record.
We specifically asked if Spilka
was in the Statehouse building
for all the formal and informal
sessions; how the tradition developed
that the president rarely
votes; has she ever thought of
breaking that tradition and being
recorded on all roll calls; and
how does she choose on which
roll calls she will vote?
“Sen. Spilka follows the tradition
that many before her followed,”
said Paul Craney. “In this
particular case, it’s not necessarily
a bad tradition but unfortunately
a much worse trend in the state
senate is quickly emerging, and
that is its opaqueness. The Statehouse
has been closed for over
600 days, and now major budget
decisions are being done behind
closed doors and when lawmakers
are on recess. The Massachusetts
Legislature, including the
State Senate, is the most opaque
legislative body in the United
States. There is no other state legislature
this secretive.”

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 filed. 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 dozens
of bills in the days immediately
preceding the end of an annual
session.
During the week of November
29-December 3, the House met
for a total of one hour and 30 minutes
while the Senate met for a
total of one hour and 22 minutes.
Mon. Nov. 29 House 11:00
