DiDomenico visits Soldiers’ Home in Chelsea amid Inspector General’s Report I n light of the Inspector General’s January report citing many areas that have to be addressed and improved at the Soldiers’ Home in Chelsea, Senator Sal DiDomenico visited the Veterans’ facility last week alongside State House colleagues Senator John Velis and Representative Judith Garcia. The elected offi cials spoke with Veterans at the Home and toured the facility with staff and the new leadership. The Inspector General’s report highlighted the need for better communication from the leadership team to the staff , as well as several issues regarding the care of Veterans. “Our Veterans and the staff Sal DiDomenico State Senator that cares for them deserve better,” said Senator DiDomenico, who is Assistant Majority Leader of the Massachusetts Senate. “We visited the Soldiers Home to see and listen for ourselves about what is happening at the ground level. We are taking this very seriously, and I look forward to partnering with the new leadership at the Soldiers’ Home and the Healey Administration to make sure conditions improve and every Veteran is treated with dignity and respect.” TDM Ordinance seeks to limit drivers on the road By Tara Vocino T he city’s Transportation Planner appeared before the City Council during Monday’s Legislative Affairs Subcommittee meeting to discuss the Transportation-Demand-Management at City Hall. Transportation Planner Jay Monty said negative trends include displacement of businesses for the purpose of accommodating parking and an inability to produce affordable housing. It consists of a nonprofit, funded through grants, made up of governing board of members. “Approximately 70 percent Advocate Online: www.advocatenews.net of residents in Everett drive a car,” Monty said. “We want to encourage other modes of travel, such as Rideshare and public transit.” The ordinance, which aims to reduce air pollution, was passed in 2021. Monty noted Somerville and Cambridge only have 30 percent of population that drive, which means Everett has twice as many people on the street. For example, Encore Boston Harbor has a maximum number of parking spaces (2,800) to encourage guests and employees not to drive there. That includes shuttle buses, taking the T or bike share. “They subsidize T passes and [do] not let employees out at the same time to prevent traffic jams,” Monty said. Monty said the board sets thresholds on new developments, which include 10 units of new housing, 10,000 square feet of commercial space for street side access, and parking under or over the existing zoning requirements by generating an impact source. Part of the ordinance includes creating the right amount of parking spaces to support a development. It also involves asking developers to pay for a shuttle service or Rideshare. “We don’t want to see more spaces,” Monty said. “We want to provide access to a car or bicycle, such as Rideshare, if residents need it.” Monty said there are 16 to 17 projects happening in the city, including two on lower Broadway, five in the business district and one in the residential district. Four are in construction with an estimated time of completion of a year or so. He said other projects in the works are the MBTA Silver Line extension and a Route 16 reconstruction. Councillor-at-Large Stephanie Smith, who asked for the addresses of the projects, said she’d love to get a council representative on the board. Ward 3 Councillor Darren Costa said some may be concerned about taking the T due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Another big issue is parking,” Costa said. “Signage needs to be enforced, and we have an understaffed parking crew here.” The matter was referred to the Planning Department office for a response on the addresses and recommended changes to mitigate risks.

As part of Mayor DeMaria’s “Everett for Everyone” initiative, the City of Everett would like to give young adults in Everett an opportunity to gain work experience while also helping local businesses during a time when rising costs are adding to the fi - nancial hardship of running a company. The Everett Chamber of Commerce will be assisting the City in connecting to local businesses to offer youth workers ages 17-25 a chance to receive extra help at no cost to the company. This new program is an extension of the City’s Summer Youth Program, which has been operating for over 25 years, providing summer job opportunities to Everett’s youths. Through this program, Everett’s youths gain work experience and networking skills and develop new skill sets. The expansion of the program is possible due to funding from the Metro North Workforce Board. “I’ve wanted to expand our Summer Youth Program to run throughout the year,” said Mayor DeMaria. “By giving our City’s youth the opportunity to work for local businesses, we’re able to help them network and receive valuable work experience while also assisting our businesses here in Everett.” Everett businesses are encouraged to email Roberto.

Philbin stated he purchased the newspaper for approximately “$100-150,000” and testified that his Publisher, Joshua Resnek, controlled the day-to-day operations of the corporation. Asked to clarify if he controlled the corporate affairs – the finances of the company – Philbin asked if the attorney could be more specific. “No, I can’t,” replied Atty. Robbins, asking Philbin if he understood the meaning of “financial affairs.” “No, that’s why I’m asking you to be more specific, please,” snapped Philbin. Philbin claimed that Resnek and Mary Schovanec, the office manager, were the ones who signed the checks, saying he didn’t know if he was the signatory to the bank account for Dorchester Publications. Now You Tell Me Robbins then asked if he was the sole authority in the hiring and firing of Resnek, saying the corrupt reporter was never an employee of the company, but an independent contractor who was paid through Resnek’s company, Chelsea Press, LLC. “And you compensate Mr. Resnek not via payroll, but by making a payment to an entity that he owns; correct?” “Yes, replied Philbin. “That’s the way he wanted it.” Robbins asked if he [Philbin] no longer wanted Resnek to be the editor and publisher, could he make that happen; Philbin stated that the statement “was fair to say.” Now I Remember Robbins’ attention turned to the frequency of emails and texts between Philbin and his publisher, asking him about the drafts and articles he receives from Resnek each week prior to the newspaper’s publication.

The Everett City Council and the new police offi cers on Monday evening RESNEK | FROM PAGE 4 stated that it was incorrect – until he was asked about the evidence that had been presented in previous witness testimony. “Have you reviewed any of the e-mails that have been produced in this case, sir?” asked Atty. Robbins. “Yes,” replied Philbin. Philbin then testified that he did indeed receive drafts of articles before they were published every week as well as the newspaper before it was published – a procedure he agrees he’s had in place with Resnek for years. The questions then turned to his employees: the office manager and part-timer Mary Schovanec, Jim Mahoney, the former layout person and photographer, and sports reporter Lorenzo Recupero. Philbin stated that he could not identify any reporter who worked for the newspaper from 2018 to 2020. What’s the Truth Got To Do With It? Robbins asked him if he ever reprimanded or disciplined Resnek, or ever instructed him to issue an apology, a clarification or retraction of any kind – Philbin said he did not. Philbin also claimed that he never spoke to Resnek about the case nor read any deposition transcript that Resnek gave under oath. Philbin claimed he had not – only what he read in this newspaper. “You’ve seen in the local newspapers that Mr. Resnek has stated that he fabricated articles about Mr. DeMaria; correct?” asked the attorney. “I think that’s what was put in the paper. He fabricated the Blue Suit, yes.” “You’ve seen that Mr. Resnek has admitted that he attributed quotes to people that were not actually real quotes; correct?” “Yes.

Robbins continued his line of questioning, asking Philbin if he was aware that Resnek had admitted that he made false statements about having “confidential sources” about DeMaria; admitted that he gave false testimony in his deposition; admitted to fabricating articles about the mayor; and manufactured quotes, manufactured notes and altered notes. Philbin could only say it’s what he read in the paper. Philbin then stated that he had indeed spoken to Resnek about his testimony, asking him, “What the hell was that?” Resnek told him that “They took it all out of context.” When asked if he had taken any disciplinary action against Resnek about his conduct against Mayor DeMaria, Philbin stated that he did not – never considering replacing him.

Right now, yeah,” Philbin replied. Atty. Robbins then asked Philbin if he knew that his newspaper asserted that the mayor committed extortion and solicited kickbacks. Philbin said he did. When asked if he was aware that his newspaper asserted that the mayor stole money and engaged in criminal activity, Philbin replied, “I don’t know that I know that.” Philbin claimed that he preferred that the mayor wasn’t called “Kickback Carlo” in the many articles; Robbins replied that he [Philbin] was the one who could have prevented it as it was published in his newspaper. “Do you have any evidence at all that Mr. DeMaria ever took a kickback?” asked Robbins. “Kickback? No, I don’t. No,” replied Philbin. When asked if he had any proof that the mayor had committed extortion, Philbin replied that he did based only on what Sergio Cornelio had told him, despite never having any texts, taken any notes in two meetings with Cornelio – no evidence whatsoever. Cornelio also refuted claims in his own deposition, testifying that Resnek made up the story and quotes that the mayor extorted him into paying him for his partnership in a real estate deal. In fact, Philbin could not recall what year, month or day when he had the conversations about the real estate deal with Cornelio. Back Up The Bus Philbin stated that he believed that Resnek had performed all the background and collected all the evidence in order to publish his articles on the DeMaria-Cornelio land deal that accused the mayor of extor tion, among other things. Asked i f he knew that Resnek had gone to the City Clerk’s Office to look at the disclosure forms that the mayor had filed about the Corey Street deal, Philbin stated he did. Philbin claimed Resnek told him that he had – including the filings of a conflict of interest with the State Ethics Commission – claiming Resnek told him that they were not there at the City Clerk’s Office. Philbin claimed that Cornelio told him that the mayor never filed. “And there’s no record of any kind, no writing, no e-mail, no text of any communication between you and Mr. Resnek informing Mr. Resnek what Mr. Cornelio had supposedly said; correct?” asked Robbins. “No. I called him on the phone,” was Philbin’s reply. Enough Said “There’s no writing, no record, no e-mail, no text, no notes, no nothing of any kind in writing that reflects what you told Mr. Resnek Mr. Cornelio had supposedly said; am I right?” “No. Not that I recall,” replied Philbin. “What I’ve said is correct? asked the attorney. “Yes,” stated Philbin. “Do you have any evidence of any kind that Mr. DeMaria ever committed a crime?” “No. I have no evidence,” stated Philbin. Cold-Hearted To Say The Least Philbin was asked if he was aware that the articles being printed by his newspaper laced with false accusations of the mayor committing crimes week after week had any effect on the mayor, his wife, children and his elderly parents, who all reside in Everett. “Did you ever consider the effect of these articles that your newspaper published about Mr. DeMaria would have on his wife, his children, and his parents?” asked Robbins. “No. I did not,” replied Philbin. Philbin was then asked about the private investigator who was hired to follow the mayor, which was mentioned by Resnek during his deposition where he claimed he would provide information on the mayor’s daily activities. Philbin claimed he had no knowledge. But when he was presented with his answer to the amended complaint against Philbin filed by the mayor’s attorney, Philbin agreed that it was his signature following his review. The paragraph in the legal documented – signed by Philbin – states: “Philbin admits that he knew that Resnek subjected Plaintiff to surveillance.” “And this is the answer that you reviewed before it was filed; right?” asked the attorney. “That ’s correct,” replied Philbin. Next week: Philbin’s business plan was not about making money. ׉ 7cassandra://dDXP54Dw08BcN0n8Z-5DHq_9yDNXTwocwNimRMnDmbs-`̰cH$s7׉E=THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 27, 2023 Page 7 Firefighters battle 2-Alarm Central Ave Blaze 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut St. We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on!

Some towns and cities have a Cemetery Commission in which its members are paid a stipend. Councillors and residents didn’t feel that amending the administrative code was necessary. Ward 2 Councillor Stephanie Martins asked if the fi ve-member commission that was in operation in 1986 was paid. However, Councillor-at-Large Stephanie Smith, who voted against the language, made a motion to divide the question to determine if councillors were in favor of the change. If the change had passed, Chapter 2 of the revised ordinances of the city would have needed to be amended by ordinance to remove all responsibilities and transfer them to the upcoming commission, according to City Clerk Sergio Cornelio. The City Council has to act within 60 days of the administration submitting the code. Councillor-at-Large John Hanlon said the Department of Public Works handles the cemetery upkeep well. “Who is going to dig graves?” Hanlon asked. “Commissioners aren’t going to get out to cut grass.” The Mayor’s Chief of Staff, Erin Deveney, said Malden has a Cemetery Commission; however, many other communities with a commission that she researched fall under a town structure, such as Hubbardston, Gloucester, Salem, Belmont, Royalston, Phillipston, Taunton, Lowell, Greenfield, Woburn, Quincy, Medford, West Brookfi eld, Princeton and Lunenberg. Ward 6 Councillor Alfred Lattanzi, who is in favor of an unpaid commission, said he’s been volunteering on six commissions for the last 30 years, many of which were unpaid, because he wants to give back to the city. Deveney replied that it’s under the City Council’s authority to determine whether the commission would be a paid position. “We had conversations with young people who want to make the administration aware that fi nances may discourage people from wanting to apply,” Deveney said. “We like to encourage diff erent candidates to consider their time to the city.” Smith asked Deveney if there’s a cemetery superintendent. Deveney said that there is, and they’re not deviating from city services, who are already assigned there. The commission would act in an advisory role to set rates while the Department of Public Works would handle the care and maintenance of graves. Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Matewsky said the city needs a commission. He said veterans have to be buried in Winchendon, Bourne or Gardner. “Seventy dollars a month to pay members isn’t a lot – to me – to pay someone who has the title of a commissioner,” Matewsky said. Ward 3 Councillor Darren Costa, who is in favor of a commission, said more specifi c language, such as hiring people with experience in that fi eld, is important. Smith agreed. “I put people serving the city with little or no pay at a higher threshold of scrutiny,” Costa said. “As Councillor Lattanzi does a passion project, which I appreciate.” ~ Calendar of Events at the Everett Public Libraries ~ January 30– February 4, 2023 Broadway Office Space For Lease Parlin Adults and Teens Meditation: Parlin Tower Room; Tuesday, January 31, at 12:15 p.m. and Thursday, February 2, at 12:15 p.m. Take a quick lunch break.

I cannot conceive of a better showcase for their talents.” Joining Superintendent Tahiliani at the judge’s table were Teddie Peanut Butter representatives Mark Nazarian, Brianna Soule and Brittany L’Italien.

The EHS students are participating in “Solve for Tomorrow,” which is sponsored by Samsung. Competing teams can win up to $100,000 in prizes for their school, plus the opportunity to work with Samsung employees to develop their prototypes. By being named a State Finalist, EHS will receive a $2,500 prize package featuring Samsung products and classroom resources that will support their plan. Working with teachers Alex O’Donnell and Neil Plotnick, the EHS Computer Club is developing a project to refurbish and distribute old computers. Instead of disposing of old computers – and straining the environment – the EHS students will return the devices to use by installing them with updated Linux software. The effort is already reaping rewards, as the Club recently donated computers to a women’s shelter. Through this work, the students are learning how to diagnose systems, run diagnostic tests and perform related tasks to restore machines to working order.

And it turned out to be an even more important triumph considering they dropped a 50-37 decision to Medford two nights later, also on the road. Kayley Rossi paced the offensive attack against the Patriots with 17 points. Rossi also chipped in with five assists and three steals. “Rossi contributed some huge buckets down the stretch that helped us pull out the win,” said Rossi. Emilia Maria Babcock was next in line on offense with 11 points. She also grabbed seven rebounds. “This was a great team win,” added the Everett coach. But the Mustangs then avenged an earlier 45-41 loss to the Tide to even the score on the season. Emilia Maria-Babcock reaped 11 points for the Lady Tide. Malaica Guillaume led all Everett scorers with 12 points against the Mustangs the second time around. She was also credited with eight rebounds. The Crimson Tide’s Malaica Guillaume led Everett with 12 points.

A qualifying child for purposes of the child tax credit is a child who: 1. is claimed as your dependent on your tax return; 2. was under the age of 17 at the end of 2022; 3. is your (a) son, daughter, adopted child, stepchild or a descendent of any of them (for example, your grandchildren); (b) brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendent of any of them (for example, your niece or nephew), whom you cared for as you would your own child; or (c) foster child (any child placed with you by an authorized placement agency whom you cared for as you would your own child, and 4. is a U.S. citizen or resident alien. An adopted child is always T treated as our own child. An adopted child includes a child placed with you by an authorized placement agency for legal adoption even if the adoption is not final. An authorized placement agency includes any person or court authorized by state law to place children for legal adoption. Remember, the child tax credit is a dollar for dollar tax credit and not simply a deduction to be utilized in order to reduce your otherwise taxable income. It was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed by Congress in 2017 that provided for the increase from $1,000 to $2,000. There is a $500 tax credit allowed for each qualifying child for whom the credit is not otherwise allowed and for each qualifying relative. An example might be a parent that you are caring for or a child who happens to be age 17 or older at the end of calendar year 2022. The child tax credit begins to phase out when modified adjusted gross income reaches $400,000 for joint filers, and $200,000 for any other filing status. The tax credit is reduced by $50 for each $1,000 of income over these thresholds. A portion of the child tax credit is refundable for all taxpayers, regardless of the amount of the taxpayer’s regular tax or alternative minimum tax liability. For Teresa “Terry” (Oddi) Iannaco calendar year 2022, the additional child tax credit is refundable in an amount equal to the lesser of the portion of the child tax credit the taxpayer cannot claim due to the tax liability limitation or 15% of the taxpayer’s earned income in excess of $2,500. If the taxpayer has 3 or more qualifying children, the threshold for the second calculation is the excess of the taxpayer’s share of social security taxes over his or her earned income credit, if that excess is greater than 15% of the taxpayer’s earned income over $2,500. The additional child tax credit may not exceed $1,500 per qualifying child under the age of 17. The $500 partial credit for any other dependent is not refundable. The additional child tax credit is claimed on Form 8812. Do not overlook this valuable tax credit when preparing your income tax return. It is a valuable “dollar for dollar” tax credit which can reduce your tax liability substantially. It is much more valuable than a “tax deduction” which will only serve to reduce taxable income. If, for example, you are only in a 22% tax bracket, a $1,000 deduction would save only $220 in taxes. The child tax credit as well as the additional child tax credit for 2022 is not as high as it was on the 2021 tax return. Congress increased the 2021 child tax credit to $3,600 for children under age 6 and $3,000 for children ages 6 to 17 due to Covid 19, but chose not to extend the increases for the 2022 calendar year.

Bob Davis has been the man behind the construction, maintenance and improvement of World Series Park in Saugus since its creation in 2004. It was built solely on the contributions of Saugus residents and surrounding groups and businesses to honor the spirit of the 2003 Saugus American Little League team, which made it all the way to the U.S, Championship final game before falling to Boynton Beach, Fla. in that game, Back then, the town needed another baseball diamond to maximize the ongoing development of this talented crop of ballplayers.

Beloved wife of the late Pietro Casciani for over 59 years prior to his passing. Dear and devoted mother of Carlo Casciani and his wife, Patti of Reading and the late Robert Casciani and his surviving wife, Clare Hanigan of Arlington.

Though he had various employers throughout the years, he fondly shared stories of his time working in the Statehouse with his family. His greatest roles however were as husband, daddy, and Papa. He was honorably disO f Everett. Passed away peacefully at home with his loving family beside him at the age of 99. He was raised and educated in Everett, MA and was a master electrician charged from the Navy having served on the torpedoed USS Canberra (CA-70) during World War II. In 1949, he married Catherine P. Hurley and they raised their family in Everett. Summers were often spent at the family cottage in Milton, NH. Joe was often behind the wheel of their boat while daughter’s, Jan and Debbie, water skied behind. He loved to garden (tomatoes being his favorite), grill up cheeseburgers and hot dogs for cookouts, and enjoyed watching the Red Sox or Pats on T.V. Winters were spent in Clearwater, FL, with Joe making the drive up into his 70’s. During the holidays he would be found in the kitchen using his electric knife to carve the family meal, silently sneaking pieces to “make sure it was done.” He enjoyed 7 and 7’s but truly loved a really great Scotch. He was the embodiment of a family man. He loved a good joke or prank (accompanied by a wink or grin) and took delight in making his family laugh by crossing his eyes, sticking out his tongue, or just giving a raspberry. When his children were little, he would wake them to the tune of “Reveille.”, cook them breakfast daily, and shuttle them to and from school. As his daughters grew and had families of their own, his love extended onto his two grandchildren: Jen and Greg. He taught them how to Candlepin bowl, mini golf, and play Crazy 8’s. As they got older, he taught Greg to play Poker and Jen how to drive. Jen and Greg will always remember Papa taking them on a road trip to Cooperstown. Joe was at the ready to help anyone in need and epitomized altruism. He will always be remembered for his love and devotion to his family, the methodical and meticulous ways he approached tasks, his ardent love for rescue animals, and his overall “goodness.” Joe is survived by his beloved wife of seventy-three years Catherine P. Pouche, his devoted daughter, Janis Schmid, a son Rick Schmid, two grandchildren: Jen Pouche-McDevitt and her husband Sean, and Gregory Schmid. He also leaves behind extended family who will miss him dearly. He was preceded in death by his parents, siblings, and two of his children: Catherine and Debbie. There will be no services at this time. A funeral will be held at a later date.

Maura Healey told Poltico Playbook last week that she supports some tax cuts including raising the estate/death tax threshold from $1 million to $2 million and expanding the senior circuit breaker tax credit. She also said she is reviewing a proposal to reduce the short-term capital gains rate from 12 percent to 5 percent. “Gov. Healey and Lt. Gov. Driscoll continue to have discussions with the Senate president and speaker and look forward to working together with the Legislature on eff orts to make Massachusetts more aff ordable and support seniors, working families and small business owners during these challenging economic times,” Healey‘s press secretary Karissa Hand told Beacon Hill Roll Call. “The governor has previously supported raising the estate tax threshold and expanding the senior circuit breaker and rental deduction, and those remain under consideration.” Beacon Hill Roll Call asked Senate President Spilka and House Speaker Ron Mariano whether they supported these tax cuts. “Last session, the Senate president was proud to usher through the Senate a tax relief package that increased the child and dependent tax credit and earned income tax credit,” a spokesperson for Spilka told Beacon Hill Roll Call. “This package also provided additional relief to renters and seniors and made the state more competitive by addressing the estate tax. She looks forward to pursuing permanent progressive tax relief in this new session.” “There is a consensus revenue hearing on January 24th,” Max Ratner, spokesperson for House Speaker Ron Mariano told Beacon Hill Roll Call. “Each tax cut proposal will be reviewed through the legislative process after the hearing, and when the Legislature can better understand the upcoming economic environment.” The House last year defeated raising the estate/death tax threshold, expanding the senior circuit breaker tax credit and reducing the short-term capital gains rate. At that time, some opponents said they simply oppose the tax reductions. Others said that they voted against each of the three tax reductions, proposed as amendments to the state budget, because they are all included - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Division Docket No. MI23P0197EA Estate of: HENRY J. ELDERD Date of Death: JUNE 24, 2022 INFORMAL PROBATE PUBLICATION NOTICE To all persons interested in the above captioned estate, by Petition of Petitioner Henry Elderd of Pelham, NH. Henry Elderd of Pelham, NH has been informally appointed as the Personal Representative of the estate to serve without surety on the bond. The estate is being administered under informal procedure by the Personal Representative under the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code without supervision by the Court. Inventory and accounts are not required to be filed with the Court, but interested parties are entitled to notice regarding the administration from the Personal Representative and can petition the Court in any matter relating to the estate, including distribution of assets and expenses of administration. Interested parties are entitled to petition the Court to institute formal proceedings and to obtain orders terminating or restricting the powers of Personal Representatives appointed under informal procedure. A copy of the Petition and Will, if any, can be obtained from the Petitioner. January 27, 2023 in a separate stand-alone piece of legislation fi led by Gov. Charlie Baker. They argued the amendments are premature and that the House should not act on this or any other tax reduction piecemeal here in the state budget but rather should wait until the Revenue Committee holds a public hearing on the governor’s package as a whole and sends it to the House for action. Baker’s tax package was held up and never reached the House. “While it is slightly encouraging to see Gov. Healey see the value in lowering the country’s most aggressive estate tax, this proposed adjustment is still just a tweak of a deeply fl awed system,” said Paul Craney, a spokesperson for MassFiscal. “Massachusetts would still end up having the country’s third most aggressive estate tax. This tweak may bring some temporary relief, but it will not stop the outward migration of taxpayers due to Question 1 and the estate tax. If Gov. Healey supported the full repeal of the estate tax, which many blue states are doing, MassFiscal would lavish praise to the new governor for adopting a policy that puts us in line to compete with 38 other states which don’t have an estate tax.” Here is how local representatives voted on the proposals last year. Votes were almost 100 percent across party lines with the Republicans favoring the tax cuts and the Democrats opposing them. REDUCE ESTATE/DEATH TAX (H 4700) House 30-126, rejected an amendment that would exempt the fi rst $2 million of the value of a person’s estate from the state’s estate/death tax that a person is required to pay following their death before distribution to any beneficiary. Under current law, only the fi rst $1 million is exempt. Under the current $1 million threshold and under the proposed $2 million threshold, the tax on anything over the threshold is a graduated one that ranges from 0.8 percent to 16 percent. This tax applies to the entire estate value, not just the portion above the threshold. Most Republicans are against any such tax and coined the name “death tax” to imply that the government taxes you even after you die. Most Democrats support the tax and call it an “estate tax” to imply that this tax is only paid by the wealthy. Amendment supporters said that Massachusetts is one of only 12 states that have an estate/ death tax and that the Bay State’s is the most aggressive of the 12. They said that in light of the high value of houses, with the average home price more than $500,000, the $1 million threshold of this “unfair and regressive” tax is too low and noted the federal tax exempts the fi rst $12 million. They noted that Massachusetts is losing many residents, who move to Florida and other states where this tax does not even exist. Amendment opponents said to wait for Gov. Baker’s proposal. BEACON | SEE PAGE 19 Sa nir Sa a y Senior Seni by Jim Miller What Happens if You Work Wh H if Y Wk While Receiving Social Security? Dear Savvy Senior, I started drawing my Social Security retirement benefits back in 2021 when I was forced to retire early, but I’m now interested going back to work part-time. Will this aff ect my benefi ts, and if so, how much? Back to Work Dear Back, You can collect Social Security retirement benefi ts and work at the same time but depending on how old you are and how much you earn, some or all of your benefi ts could be temporarily withheld. Here’s how it works. SSA Earning Rules Social Security says that if you’re under your full retirement age and are collecting benefi ts, then you can earn up to $21,240 in 2023 without jeopardizing any of your Social Security if you don’t reach your full retirement age this year. But if you earn more than the $21,240 limit, you’ll lose $1 in benefi ts for every $2 over that amount. Full retirement age is 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954, but it rises in twomonth increments every birth year to age 67 for those born in 1960 and later. You can fi nd your full retirement age at SSA.gov/benefi ts/retirement/planner/ageincrease. html. In the year you reach your full retirement age, a less stringent rule applies. If that happens in 2023, you can earn up to $56,520 from January to the month of your birthday with no penalty. But if you earn more than $56,520 during that time, you’ll lose $1 in benefi ts for every $3 over that limit. And once your birthday passes, you can earn any amount by working without your benefi ts being reduced at all. Wages, bonuses, commissions, and vacation pay all count toward the income limits, but pensions, annuities, investment earnings, interest, capital gains and government or military retirement benefi ts do not. To fi gure out how much your specifi c earnings will aff ect your benefi ts, see the Social Security Retirement Earnings Test Calculator at SSA.gov/OACT/ COLA/RTeff ect.html. It’s also important to know that if you do lose some or all of your Social Security benefi ts because of the earning limits, they aren’t lost forever. When you reach full retirement age, your benefi ts will be recalculated to a higher amount to make up for what was withheld. For more information on how working can aff ect your Social Security benefi ts see SSA.gov/benefi ts/retirement/ planner/whileworking.html. Be Mindful of Taxes Too In addition to the Social Security rules, you need to factor in Uncle Sam too. Because working increases your income, it might make your Social Security benefi ts taxable. Here’s how it works. If the sum of your adjusted gross income, nontaxable interest, and half of your Social Security benefi ts is between $25,000 and $34,000 for individuals ($32,000 and $44,000 for couples), you have to pay tax on up to 50 percent of your benefi ts. Above $34,000 ($44,000 for couples), you could pay on up to 85 percent, which is the highest portion of Social Security that is taxable. About a third of all people who get Social Security have to pay income taxes on their benefi ts. For information, call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of publication 915 “Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefi ts,” or you can see it online at IRS. gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf. In addition to the federal government, 12 states – Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia – tax Social Security benefi ts to some extent too. If you live in one of these states, you’ll need to check with your state tax agency for details. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

A “No” vote is against exempting it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No INCREASE TAX BREAK FOR SENIORS (H 4700) House 31-125, rejected an amendment that would increase by $1,005 (from $750 to $1,755) the maximum tax credit which seniors over 65 who qualify, can receive under the Senior Circuit Breaker Tax Credit Law. The law applies to seniors with homes valued at less than $884,000 and who earn $62,000 or less for a single individual who is not the head of a household; $78,000 for a head of household; and $93,000 for married couples fi ling a joint return. To qualify, if you are a homeowner, your property tax payments, together with half of your water and sewer expense, must exceed 10 percent of your total Massachusetts income for the tax year. If you are a renter, 25 percent of your annual Massachusetts rent must exceed 10 percent of your total Massachusetts income for the tax year. Amendment supporters said this will help seniors on fi xed incomes who are having a diffi cult time as infl ation and the cost of food and gas soar. Amendment opponents said to wait for Gov. Baker’s proposal. (A “Yes” vote is for the increased tax credit of $1,005. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No REDUCE CAPITAL GAINS TAX FROM 12 PERCENT TO 5 PERCENT (H 4700) House 29-127, rejected an amendment that would reduce the short-term capital gains tax from 12 percent to 5 percent. Amendment supporters said this will help investors in Massachusetts keep up with mounting infl ation. They asked why the capital gains or any tax imposed should be charged at a higher rate than earned income, especially considering the multi-billions in historic revenue surpluses that the state has.. Amendment opponents said to wait for Gov. Baker’s proposal. (A “Yes” vote is for reducing the capital gains tax from 12 percent to 5 percent. A “No” vote is against the reduction.) Rep. Joseph McGonagle No ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL THOUSANDS OF BILLS FILED FOR 2023-2024 SESSION – Friday, January 20 at 5 p.m. was the “soft deadline” for legislation to be fi led for consideration by the Legislature during the 2023-2024 legislative session. However, under House and Senate rules, bills fi led after January 20 can still be admitted to the Legislature following the deadline if the Legislature agrees to admit it by a four-fi fths vote of the members of the branch where the bill is introduced. Each legislative session, hundreds of bills are admitted as late-fi led bill CONFIDENTIALITY OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES (S 2684) – Before the 2022 session ended on January 3, the House approved and sent to the Senate legislation expanding the 2019 law that ensures confi dentiality for fi rst responders, including an active or retired law enforcement offi cer, police offi cer, state police trooper, sheriff or deputy sheriff , fi refi ghter and emergency medical personnel, who seek mental health services from a peer counselor. The bill, which would expand the current law to include state or municipal police criminalists, crime scene personnel, police dispatchers and 911 operators, died in the Senate. “The … committee supported [the bill],” said Rep. Carlos Gonzalez (D-Springfi eld), the chair of the Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security which handled the proposal. “It is good policy. The folks serving our community should not worry about privacy issues or unfounded stigmatization for seeking mental health treatment. We owe them any support we can aff ord them—including the assurance of confi dentiality when they seek help.” Rep. Ed Coppinger (D-Boston), the sponsor of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call asking why he fi led the bill, how he feels about its death in the Senate and whether he will refi le it for the 20232024 session. OVERDOSES AND NALOXONE (S 3182) – Before the 2022 session ended, the Senate approved and sent to the House a bill designed to increase access to and education about the drug overdose-reversal medication Naloxone, or a similar medication. The measure would require doctors and other medical professionals who prescribe an opioid to a patient to also prescribe Naloxone or a similar medication under certain circumstances. The bill died in the House. “We must do all we can to prevent overdoses in the ongoing opioid epidemic,” said Sen. Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn), the sponsor of the bill. “This law would help improve education of and access to Naloxone, which in turn can save lives in emergency situations. I look forward to re-fi ling this bill and working with my colleagues to get it signed into law.” SEABEES DAY (S 3159) – Before the 2022 session ended, the House and Senate approved and former-Gov. Baker signed into law a bill designating March 5 as United States Navy Seabees Day in recognition of the birthday of the United States Naval Construction Battalion, better known as the Navy Seabees, formed on March 5, 1942. Supporters said the Seabees were created for a dual mission to build and to fi ght in support of combat operations, humanitarian outreach and nation-building. Sen. Mike Rush (D-Boston), the sponsor of the measure did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on the signing of the bill and why he fi led it. QUOTABLE QUOTES – While Gov. Maura Healey and Lt. Gov Kim Driscoll assumed office on January 5th, the other four statewide constitutional offi cers were not sworn in until January 18. Here are some quotes from each of their remarks on Inauguration Day: “My hope is that every day, women and young people who look like me—and see the incredible work of this offi ce—will feel less invisible, despairing and lonely because there continues to be a shining example of what is possible. We can provide greater economic opportunity by tackling wage theft; protecting residents from predatory practices and scams; fi ghting to ensure families have the tools they need to buy or stay in their homes; and punishing unfair or discriminatory practices that stand in the way of upward mobility and opportunity.” ---Attorney General Andrea Campbell “I love this state. It is full of talented, diverse, hard-working people of every color, background and religion. I am so honored that you have again placed your trust in me as your treasurer. I look forward to building upon our work to ensure that everyone who calls Massachusetts home has equal opportunities to achieve economic stability and security for themselves and their families for generations to come.” ---Treasurer Deb Goldberg “We know representation matters and I am thrilled that we have BEACON | SEE PAGE 20 PUBLIC AUCTION FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10TH AT 1:00 PM MORTGAGEE’S SALE OF REAL ESTATE • MELROSE • 10 ROOM / 4 BEDROOM 2-STORY THREE FAMILY STYLE HOME “CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ALL AMENTIES” 71-73 Grove Street MELROSE, MA TO BE SOLD ON THE PREMISES FEATURES: • 2½ Story Three Family Style Home • ±5,808 S/F Of Land • • Total Of (10) Rooms w/ (4) Bedrooms & (3) Baths • • ±2,479 S/F Of Gross Living Area Above Grade • Oil Heat • • Full Basement • Open Porch • Aluminum Siding • Public Water & Sewer • • Zoned: BA1 • (6) Car Driveway • Assessor’s Parcel # 0C6-0000079 • SALE PER ORDER OF MORTGAGEE Attorney Oscar L Suarez Of The Firm Of Halloran & Sage, LLP, 225 Asylum Street, Hartford, CT Attorney for Mortgagee TERMS OF SALE: $10,000.00 Aaron Posnik AUCTIONEERS • APPRAISERS ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS.....3 room, 1 bedroom Condo at Austin Court featuring nice, eat-in kitchen with oak cabinets, some with glass fronts, updated Formica counters, great open concept living room, hardwood flooring, walk-in storage closet, fabulous bedroom with two closets, slider to balcony overlooking inground pool, full tile bath and hall closet, freshly painted interior, windows and slider have been updated, lovely landscaped grounds and outside grilling area, common laundry in building.

Congratulations. But I submit to you that if we really want to see the bold and meaningful change that working families and historically underserved communities need and deserve — we must also talk about access - and why access matters. ---Auditor Diana DiZoglio “One of the things we’re seeing is that there’s a need for better civic education, especially in high schools, of what the significance of elections are. I mean, I think the root cause of some of the election denialism and some of the other hostility that’s out there is people don’t really understand what government is supposed to do.” ---Secretary of State Bill Galvin 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 January 16-20, the House met for a total eight hours and 33 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 7 minutes.
