Vol. 31, No.5 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net Free Every Friday Serino proposes snow removal help for veterans and retired first responders By Adam Swift L ast Saturday’s blizzard was just further proof that it can be diffi cult for the city’s senior citizens to dig out after a heavy snowstorm. Recently, the City Council gave its support to a plan proposed by Ward 6 Councillor Richard Serino that could help some of Revere’s most vulnerable residents. The council approved Serino’s motion to have Mayor Brian Arrigo look into the City of Revere hiring unemployed veterans to shovel out elderly veterans and retired fi rst responders following storms. “This stems from a resident on Sigourney Street who is an 86-year-old retired Revere police offi cer,†said Serino. “He calls have family nearby and they can’t aff ord to have their house shoveled.†Serino did point to the good RICHARD SERINO Ward 6 Councillor me once every winter at our fi rst snowfall. He and his wife live in their house, and they don’t work done by Revere High School’s JROTC Snow Angel program, but he said there is a backlog to take part in the program and his constituents on Sigourney Street have been on the waiting list for several years. A program separate from the Snow Angel program could provide some relief for older veterans and retired first responders and put some money in the pockets of younger unemployed veterans, Serino said. “I think it would be a win-win; we would be putting community veterans who are in need SNOWSTORM | SEE Page 3 781-286-8500 Friday, February 4, 2022 Board of Health approves mask advisory By Adam Swift T he Board of Health approved a mask advisory for Revere businesses and indoor spaces at last week’s meeting. While the move does not mandate the wearing of masks indoors, Public Health Director Lauren Buck said she hopes it encourages local businesses to take a closer look at COVID-19 protocols. “It’s not a mandate, but it is a strong encouragement,†said Buck. “We hope businesses use the guidance we are giving them to reconsider their protocols in their businesses, but it is an advisory, not a mandate.†Buck said the advisory was Revere High School’s JROTC Snow Angels are pictured outside a home on Endicott Ave. following a recent snowstorm. Conservation Commission approves Sullivan Park plan By Adam Swift L ast Wednesday, the Conservation Commission approved a notice of intent for a major upgrade to Sullivan Park. The public hearing on the Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) park at Revere Beach Boulevard and Revere Street was continued from December. During Wednesday’s meeting, landscape architect Skyler Chick of Shadley Associates addressed some of the issues that were raised at the December meeting. “The proposal is to rehabilitate an existing park that is sorely underutilized; it has compacted soil, and it lacks vegetation,†said Chick. “The DCR is planning a pretty major investment in this park to upgrade the walkways, amenities, site furnishings, and there will be a signifi cant amount of plantings and stormwater improvements.†The park is bound by Revere Beach Boulevard on the east, Revere Street to the south, a National Grid parcel and Diamond Creek to the west and a recently completed six-story residential development at 320 Revere Beach Blvd. to the north. Currently, there is a baseball fi eld at the park that is underutilized, and plans for the upgraded park include bocce courts, a water feature like a splash pad, and a paved concrete plaza with tree pits, benches and game tables. Chick said the project now has a Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) fi le number, which it did not have in December. There were also some issues with some references in the operations and maintenance manual for the park. “The references to the city of Revere have been updated to the DCR, so Revere does not have any maintenance obligations at Sullivan Park,†said Chick. “There was also a question about the use of a divertput forward due to the spike in cases due to the Omicron variant of COVID-19, and she pointed to mandates and protocols that are in place in neighboring communities. “Revere is not immune to the trends we are seeing around the country and the world because of Omicron,†said Buck. “The good news is that we have already reached the peak, we think, of Omicron and it’s on a downward trend. Most experts think that just as quickly as it went up it will quickly go down.†In general, however, Buck said the city’s COVID-19 daily case count is still very high. “They are much higher than we were experiencing back in March 2020…†she said. Buck said the best defense against the Omicron variant is to get vaccinated and a booster shot. While the vaccination rate in Revere is high, she said the percentage of residents who have gotten their booster shot is currently around 26 percent. “We need to make sure everyone eligible for a booster is geter for the water feature. We discussed that with the DCR, and that has been included in the project.†There will also be signage in the park regarding dog walking and dog waste. “The DCR has reviewed that, and they are including park regulation signage, and there will be a condition on that that will say something to the effect that dogs must be leashed at all times and owners shall remove all pet waste,†said Chick. ting a booster, and we have a lot of work to do there,†said Buck. Board of Health Member Nezha Louaddi asked if other COVID-19 measures, such as a return to sixfoot social distancing in businesses, might be needed in the city. “Last summer and spring, as part of the state reopening plan, a lot of the protocols around distancing and the number of patrons in an establishment kind of ended,†said Buck. In preparing the mask advisory, Buck said she and Inspectional Services Director Michael Wells wanted to make sure they came up with a plan that is manageable for businesses in Revere. “We want to make sure we keep in mind that a lot of our small businesses have been very hard hit,†said Buck. “We think that masking is the best method of prevention in a business setting right now, and that we do not need to go back to a sixfoot distancing mandate. At this time, it’s not really mandated anywhere that I know of in Massachusetts.†Buck also said the city has to be cognizant of the fact that, at some point, everyone will have to start living with normalizing COVID-19 a little bit more. “Moving back to mandates doesn’t really feel like the right move for Revere and Revere small businesses and businesses in general at this time,†said Buck. Wells also noted that the city doesn’t have the resources available to enforce a mandate. “It also puts the businesses in a little bit of a bind when they have an uncooperative customer, and it just causes a lot of unnecessary hate and discontent in businesses that are already struggling as it is,†said Wells. “In addition to that, the project does include waste receptacles, so they will be around the site so people will have an opportunity to dispose of their bags in the waste receptacles.†The DCR will be responsible for maintaining and emptying the trash barrels. Conservation Commission Chair John Shue said Chick addressed all the issues that were raised during the December meeting. “I think it’s a great project,†he said. ׉ Ú7cassandra://ZPSeKDX1V_sbaPT3YQ_NIMpxX2yLsZ3JSIkylp3ewEMÍ+gÍ`Ì°Í×aüs^©O#pç"×aüs^©O#pç!Í P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://kyZf6DkbFo-9oPSrhNZZzXPwhwDphUFRrZwLrTG_ndkÎCÍ`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://P8SG9xIJ8rkEjWWtuD6k4Wz2BiLxchs8L-A57GhbfE0Í”0Í`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://D-Ea6N2CB01vMxRUNluu8KU1iBrIzxhw_AVLZqEbAPAÍ-3Í`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://3HCeJGDNdtKcEvHcqyYdRcUOAc_XVGC--LOhCYTCL00ÎíMÍ ¤Í ÍÅÍñ×aüs_©O#pç;טšÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://y7TyEEexNh16aIgyCo2dE9mL7uEMckWNiJok_A0E_30΄¸Í`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://ewgHMmZHEZvGjGpdlEJtoq0lXRLPHmyoTsNlJXWww7QͤÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://VS1cnN2scCtk3gIyCiNy7m6eH4rfpr7zepINIYqPEoYÍ1Í`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://bul7utcU-lGDY0KHumpYLyQu00RvNpgwaJrHbBsiMCcÎÇïÍ?¶Í ÍÅÍñ×aüs`©O#pç<“× ×aüs`©O#pçCÍXÍÌì9×H¾http://WWW.BIKERSOUTFITTER.COM× × Ј× ×aüs`©O#pçBÍXÍÌì9×H¾http://WWW.BIKERSOUTFITTER.COM× × Ј× ×aüs`©O#pçAͬÍÚÍ9×HÚ mailto:lsimeonejr@simeonelaw.net× × Ј׉EÚ/Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2022 FBI Announces $10,000 Reward for Information Leading to the Arrest and Conviction of Fugitive Melchor Datu T he Boston Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Child Exploitation-Human Trafficking Task Force is   î¶î¶‡ Attorneys at Law î€ î€³î€¨î€µî€¶î€²î€±î€¤î€¯  î€ î€µî€¨î€¤î€¯  î€ î€©î€¤î€°î€¬î€¯î€¼  î€ î€ªî€¨î€±î€¨î€µî€¤î€¯  î€ î€³î€¨î€µî€¶î€²î€±î€¤î€¯  î€ î€¦î€¬î€¹î€¬î€¯  14 Norwood St., Everett, MA 02149 Phone: (617) 387-4900 Fax: (617) 381-1755  John Mackey, Esq. * Katherine M.

City Council President Gerry Visconti said he supports Serino’s motion and Novoselsky’s amendment and said Arrigo and the administration could fi netune the details in the coming weeks to come up with a comprehensive plan.

Family Dollar was issued two citations by the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Offi ce for failing to provide employees who worked for more than six hours in one day at least 30 minutes for a meal break, aff ecting 620 employees across 100 locations throughout Massachusetts – the majority of which are in low-income neighborhoods.

Investigators were able to determine that from 2018 to 2019 the company routinely cut the necessary payroll hours, leaving stores understaff ed. This resulted in hundreds of employees being unable to leave their stores or take meal breaks.

Alongside this fiscally responsible and balanced budget proposal – submitted as “House 2†in the Massachusetts House of Representatives – the Baker-Polito Administration is fi ling a comprehensive tax proposal to provide relief for housing and childcare costs, eliminate the income tax for hundreds of thousands of low-income taxpayers and maintain Massachusetts’s competitiveness. The proposed changes would allow nearly $700 million to remain in the hands of taxpayers on an annual basis starting immediately in tax year 2022. “Our Fiscal Year 2023 budget will help position Massachusetts strongly for the future by making key investments to support economic growth, sustain our nation-leading educational system, and support the health and wellbeing of our residents,†said Governor Charlie Baker. “At the same time, we are able to grow our reserves to historic levels and off er a tax relief proposal that will provide substantial relief for low-income seniors and working families. We look forward to working with our legislative colleagues to adopt a spending plan for FY23 that supports a strong and equitable economic recovery across the Commonwealth.†“The FY23 budget recommendation maintains our Administration’s strong support for cities and towns with another increase in local aid consistent with tax revenue growth alongside other substantial investments to help the economic growth and development of Massachusetts communities,†said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. “This plan takes advantage of our strong fi scal position to increase opportunity for individuals and families and continues our work in priority areas including treatment and prevention of substance addiction, sexual assault and domestic violence, promoting equality and diversity, and increasing access to education, job skills training, and highvalue careers.†“The Baker-Polito Administration is proud to submit an FY23 budget that is fi scally responsible, brings the Rainy Day Fund to record levels, and makes significant investments to support those who need it most, all while aff ording tax cuts that will help hundreds of thousands of taxpayers across the Commonwealth,†said Administration and Finance Secretary Michael Heffernan. “We look forward to collaborating with the Legislature in the coming months to fi nalize a spending plan that continues to support growth, opportunity, and recovery across the state while limiting future budgetary risk.†Tax relief proposal The comprehensive tax relief plan filed alongside the FY23 budget includes proposals that will provide $700 million in tax relief to low-income families and residents and maintain Massachusetts’s competitiveness. With a strong revenue picture and the budget projecting a signifi - cant deposit in to the Stabilization Fund, the Commonwealth can aff ord to provide this relief for working families and seniors. The plan proposes to: • Double the maximum Senior Circuit Breaker Credit to lower the overall tax burden for more than 100,000 low-income homeowners aged 65-plus • Increase the rental deduction cap from $3,000 to $5,000, allowing approximately 881,000 Massachusetts renters to keep approximately $77 million more annually • Double the dependent care Pioneer Charter School of Science in Everett National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program Seamless Summer Option Pioneer Charter School of Science in Everett (PCSS) will be participating in the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program Seamless Summer Option. As part of this program, PCSS will offer healthy meals every school day at NO COST due to the Nationwide Waiver to Allow the Seamless Summer Option through School Year 2021-2022.

House 2 recommends a total of $48.5 billion in authorized spending and transfers, excluding the Medical Assistance Trust Fund transfer, which is approximately 0.5 percent above FY22. Through fiscally responsible policies and in close collaboration with the Legislature, the Baker-Polito Administration has brought the budget into structural balance and built up fi nancial reserves to historic high levels. With a current balance of $4.64 billion, the Stabilization Fund is already more than four times greater than its balance at the start of the Administration. The House 2 budget includes a $749 million increase to the Stabilization Fund, which, in combination with projected FY22 transfers, will grow the fund to an alltime high of $6.64 billion by the end of FY23. Providing record investments in Massachusetts students In the House 2 budget, an increase of $591.4 million is recommended to fully fund the Student Opportunity Act, including $485 million in Chapter 70 funding, with a focus on school districts serving low-income students, for a total of $5.989 billion. The FY23 proposal also includes a $41 million increase over FY22 for special education circuit breaker reimbursement for cities and towns, and a $64.8 million increase in charter school reimbursement funding. House 2 recommends $31.1 million to scale up college and career pathway programs for high school students with a focus on equity and recruitment of highneed student populations. This funding will allow more than 17,100 students, representing six percent of all Massachusetts high schoolers, to enroll in these programs. The FY23 budget proposal also includes a $1.45 billion investment for college readiness, affordability and degree completion. This funding includes more than $155 million (M) in fi nancial aid grants, including $18M to support an expansion of the MASSGrant Plus program that will enable all low-income, instate undergraduate students to attend public higher education without incurring debt for mandatory tuition and mandatory fees – the largest increase in fi - nancial aid in over two decades. Investing in housing stability The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the state’s existing housing challenges and brought further economic instability for many across the Commonwealth. In House 2, the Administration proposes historic reforms and investments in rental assistance, rehousing benefits and housing vouchers to expedite recovery and create long-lasting improvements in housing stability and access to homeownership. Building on the Eviction Diversion Initiative (EDI), which has distributed more than $500M in state and federally funded rental assistance to individuals, families and landlords in crisis, House 2 signifi cantly expands state funding and eligibility for the Residential Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT) and HomeBASE programs, with the goal of reducing evictions and homelessness. The budget recommends $80M for RAFT, an increase of $58M (264 percent) above FY22, which will support a permanent benefi t limit increase to $7,000 over 12 months, versus $4,000 pre-pandemic, and serve an estimated 15,000 households, up from 5,000 to 6,000 previously. For HomeBASE, $56.9M is recommended, a $30.9M (119 percent) increase above FY22, to serve more than 4,100 families in FY23, versus a projected 1,885 in FY22. It will also support an increase to the maximum benefi t from $10,000 over one year to $20,000 over two years, which will allow for more extensive and fl exible support to households. House 2 also proposes reforms to the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP) to maximize utilization of mobile vouchers and align benefi ts with federal rental assistance programs operated by the same local housing authorities. In FY23, $145.6M is projected to be available for MRVP, an increase since FY15, BUDGET | SEE Page 10 ׉ Ú7cassandra://izxjC-6HmE3_L6WBEi_DkrEjTVDlJbe6PKi7e0KW7CUÍ%‘Í`Ì°Í×aüs^©O#pç)׉EÚXTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2022 Page 9 Driver’s license bill wins support of 15 mayors and managers F ifteen mayors and city managers from across Massachusetts recently announced their support for An Act relative to work and family mobility during and subsequent to the COVID-19 emergency (Senate Bill 2289) in a letter submitted to the Massachusetts Legislature’s Joint Committee on Transportation. The bill, which is currently awaiting a report from the Committee, would allow immigrants without status to qualify for a Massachusetts Standard Driver’s License as long as they have valid proof of identity, date of birth and Massachusetts residency. The Act was reported on favorably by the Committee on Transportation in 2020 and was poised for passage last session. Reintroduced this session, the bill has now earned more than 100 cosponsors in the House and Senate, and the Driving Families Forward Coalition supporting the bill has grown to include more than 270 endorsing organizations, including community, health, faith, labor, business and law enforcement leaders. Mayors and managers from Amherst, Arlington, Boston, Brockton, Brookline, Cambridge (mayor and city manager), Chelsea, Malden, Medford, Newton, Randolph, Revere, Salem and Swampscott joined together in support of the bill. In the letter the Massachusetts mayors and city managers noted that the proposal would greatly improve road safety and increase the ease with which law enforcement offi cers conduct their regular duties. “This bill would provide broad benefi ts to our municipalities. Our streets will be safer for everyone when all drivers have passed road tests, and vehicles are registered and insured,†the letter reads, in part. “Indeed, many of our policy chiefs support the bill as a public safety tool and agree that it will enable law enforcement to better identify individuals at traffi c stops or scenes of an accident,†said Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. “All Boston and Massachusetts adults deserve access to driver’s licenses regardless of immigration status. I support the Family Mobility Act because it will make all of us safer.†“The Work and Family Mobility Act is a commonsense measure that will improve the safety of our streets and strengthen the ability of Massachusetts families and workers to access essential services, health care, education, and places of work,†said Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll. “Massachusetts cities and towns have consistently stepped forward to help all of our residents, and now we’re calling on the legislature to do the same. This measure is endorsed by both law enforcement leaders and advocates for our immigrant neighbors. Let’s make sure our Commonwealth is a place that works for and welcomes everyone by adopting this important legislation.†“Providing access to driver’s licenses to immigrants makes all of our communities safer and more equitable,†said Newton Mayor Ruthanne Fuller. “Swampscott is one of the most densely settled communities in the Commonwealth. As we look to the future, it’s clear we need a focus on pedestrian safety and complete streets to help balance the needs of all modes of transportation,†said Swampscott Town Administrator Sean Fitzgerald. “Welcoming new residents, regardless of where they come from or the circumstances of their arrival, is important to the long-term economic and social well-being of Greater Boston and the entire Commonwealth,†said the Metropolitan Area Planning Council’s Deputy Executive Director of Public Aff airs and Advocacy, Lizzi Weyant. MAPC led the creation of the municipal sign-on letter sent to the Joint Committee on Transportation. “The Legislature has a real opportunity to meaningfully address some of the structural barriers facing our undocumented residents,†said Weyant. “This legislation gives us an opportunity to start to change the way that we treat and include vital members of our communities.†Four Chaplains Day to be observed on Thursday, February 3, 2022 O n February 3, American Legion Posts and other Veteran organizations around the country will observe Four Chaplains Day. This day commemorates the events of February 3, 1943, when the troop ship USAT Dorchester was sunk. The Dorchester left New York harbor on January 23, 1943, carrying four chaplains and about 900 passengers, including troops, merchant marines and civilians, as part of a convoy of three ships. Off the coast of Newfoundland at 12:55 a.m. on February 3, the Dorchester was torpedoed by a German submarine. As the Dorchester began to sink, four chaplains of diff erent religions – George L. Fox (Methodist), Alexander D. Goode (rabbi), Clark V. Poling (Baptist) and John P. Washington (Catholic) – were helping to calm the passengers and organize an orderly evacuation. The life vests were passed out, but the supply ran out before the last remaining passengers had one. The four chaplains took their own vests and gave them away. The Chaplains continued their eff orts to help as many as possible to board the rescue boats. Having done all that they could, the Chaplains linked their arms together, said prayers and sang hymns as they went down with the ship. There is a connected story to this disaster. A young Black Coast Guard Petty Offi cer, Charles W. David Jr., was serving on one of the escort cutters named the Comanche. David and his shipmates were able to rescue 93 of the 227 Dorchester survivors. David dived into the water constantly to pull people to the rescue vessels. A month later he contracted pneumonia from his eff orts and died. Subsequently, he was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for Heroism posthumously. In 2013 the Coast Guard named a coast guard cutter for David to honor his heroism. The Four Chaplains were posthumously awarded Purple Hearts and Distinguished Service Crosses on December 19, 1944. In 2006 they were awarded Medals of Honor. A Four Chaplains Medal was introduced by Congress on July 14, 1960. The medals were presented posthumously to the next of kin of each of the Four Chaplains of Dorchester on January 18, 1961. In 1988, Congress established February 3 as Four Chaplains Day. This day is observed with offi cial proclamations and fl ags fl ying at half-mast. The four chaplains, Charles David and others sacrifi ced their lives so others may live. May their memories be eternal. Malden Post 69 will join other Posts to honor these men on Sunday, February 6 at Saint Raphael Church in Medford at 2 p.m. The public is invited. www.eight10barandgrille.com We Have Reopened for Dine-In and Outside Seating every day beginning at 4 PM Need a hall for your special event?

Expanding aff ordable childcare options House 2 provides $802M in funding for the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC), an increase of $273.9M (52 percent) since 2015. This funding includes $693.7M in funding for income-eligible and Department of Children and Families (DCF)and Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA)-related childcare, which incorporates $53.9M to annualize the implementation of a more equitable parent fee scale that improves childcare affordability. The updated fee scale will result in virtually all subsidized families paying a fee that is seven percent of their income or less in FY23. Expanding health care services for the most vulnerable The House 2 budget proposal protects core programs and builds on investments made over the last seven years with meaningful health care reforms that will expand services for and reduce the burden on the most vulnerable while improving the accessibility of equitable, world-class care for all Massachusetts residents. The budget recommends $17.811 billion gross/$7.169 billion net for MassHealth, which includes $115M to expand outpatient and urgent behavioral health services informed by the Roadmap for Behavioral Health Reform, a multiyear blueprint that incorporates feedback from hundreds of individuals, families, providers and other behavioral health stakeholders. The MassHealth budget recommendation also incorporates an increase of $21M to expand the Medicare Savings Program (MSP), which will reduce out-of-pocket health care spending and prescription drug costs for approximately 34,000 low-income seniors and disabled individuals. The Administration is also proposing new investments to support families that are fostering children in the care of DCF and to encourage recruitment of additional foster parents, including $13.4M that will support approximately 4,500 families who provide care for 6,700 children. Promoting diversity and opportunity The FY23 budget proposal builds on the Administration’s longstanding commitment to promoting equality and opportunity for communities of color with more than $20M invested in targeted Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) college and career pathway programs, including Early College, Innovation Pathways and Dual Enrollment programs. It also maintains over $30M for other initiatives aligned with the recommendations of the Governor’s Black Advisory Commission (BAC) and Latino Advisory Commission (LAC). This funding includes support for YouthWorks Summer Jobs, small business development, fi nancial literacy and workforce training. House 2 provides $3.9M to the Supplier Diversity Offi ce (SDO) to continue its work to ensure accountability and compliance with diversity goals, oversee agency diversity spending and audit and review spending data. Encouraging economic growth and development House 2 continues the BakerPolito Administration’s focus on promoting economic growth, opportunity and equity for communities across the Commonwealth. The proposal includes $4M for the Small Business Technical Assistance Grant Program to support an estimated 1,5002,000 entrepreneurs and small businesses, especially those owned by women, immigrants, veterans and people of color. House 2 proposes $7.5M for the Community Empowerment and Reinvestment Grant program. This budget maintains support for the Career Technical Initiative, providing $17.9M in total funding across the Executive Offi ce of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD) and DESE. The initiative is designed to address the worker shortage and skills gap in the trades and technical fi elds, including plumbing, HVAC, manufacturing and robotics, and it off ers industry-recognized credentialing and career pathways with training aligned to apprenticeships and post-secondary degrees. These investments build on the Administration’s work through the COVID-19 pandemic to support more than 15,400 businesses across the Commonwealth with more than $700M in relief. This program – the largest per capita state-sponsored business relief program in the nation – prioritized aid for specifi c economic sectors and demographics known to be the most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and worked with a wide range of partners to ensure businesses that needed it most applied to the program. Addressing sexual assault and domestic violence The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have created additional challenges for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. The Governor’s Council to Address Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence, which is chaired by Polito, has continued to work closely with community partners and stakeholders to ensure that survivors and their families have access to necessary services and supports. House 2 furthers these eff orts by recommending $123.4M in total funding for services dedicated to the prevention and treatment of sexual assault and domestic violence, a 91 percent increase in funding since FY15. Substance addiction treatment and prevention The Administration, working closely with the Legislature, has nearly quadrupled funding for substance addiction treatment and prevention since taking offi ce. These eff orts have helped the Commonwealth add more than 1,200 patient treatment beds, including more than 800 beds for adults at varying treatment levels. House 2 proposes $543.8M in total funding across multiple agencies for a wide range of harm reduction, treatment and recovery programs that support individuals struggling with substance addiction and programs that work to prevent substance addiction through education, prescription monitoring and more.

This one-time reallocation plan was presented to the full Board. This funding is unrelated to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds. “Last fiscal year, we spent a record $1.9 billion in capital investments and addressed some of the state of good repair backlog. But we still have important investments to make,†said MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak. “This $500-million one-time transfer of funds will allow us to expedite crucial safety investments like the Green Line Train Protection Project, to continue supporting our workforce with pandemic pay for front-line employees, to further major investments that upgrade and modernize our bus system, and more.†During the COVID-19 pandemic, the MBTA received nearly $2 billion in one-time federal relief funds, which allowed the MBTA to maintain service levels and balance its operating budget despite significant reductions in fare revenues. Federal relief funds continue to be applied to eligible operating expenses, freeing up other revenues on a onetime basis. With the support of the Board, the MBTA plans to reallocate up to $500 million in operating funds to support critical onetime capital investments while still ensuring a balanced budget through FY23: • Safety investments: $67 million will go toward accelerating key capital investments in safety, including $45 million in the Green Line Train Protection Project and accelerating the project’s schedule by a year to be completed next year instead of 2024; providing additional funds to support increased inspections at MBTA stations and facilities; and providing funds to address identifi ed safety and non-code compliant concerns at the Lynn Parking Garage. • Workforce investments: $20 million will go toward advancing key employee recruitment and retention initiatives, including supporting employee-focused initiatives like pandemic pay for frontline employees and the expansion of human resources staffi ng as well as establishing an employee recruitment and retention program with opportunities to extend hiring bonuses and referral bonuses for key positions at the MBTA. • Bus investments: $109 million will go toward advancing key investments in bus transport, including funding for the Arborway Bus Facility (design), the Blue Hill Avenue Transit Priority Corridor and the North Cambridge Bus Facility as well as additional funds needed to support the Quincy Bus Maintenance Facility and the procurement of 60 New Flyer buses as part of the New Flyer Bus Overhaul Project. • Shovel-ready investments: $70 million will go toward advancing key shovel-ready and shovel-worthy projects, including advancing the Newton Commuter Rail Station project to 100 percent design, expanding the Codman Yard Expansion and Improvements project to include building and power infrastructure improvements, and programing funds for potential near-term real estate opportunities and advance infrastructure planning for future electrifi cation of the Commuter Rail network. • Additional federal formula funding preparation: $145 million will go toward preparing for additional federal formula funding. Funds identifi ed provide the 20 percent match needed to program anticipated new federal formula funds as identifi ed in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. New funds, including matching funds, will be programmed through the FY23-27 PATRIOTS | FROM Page 3 For Revere, Belloise finished with 12 points, followed by Velic with 11 and Carvalho-Bettero with nine.

Home Modification Tips for ‘Aging-in-Place’ Dear Savvy Senior, My wife and I would like to make some aff ordable changes to our home so we can remain living there for as long as possible. Can you recommend some good resources that can help us determine what all we need to consider? Getting Old Dear Getting, Many older adults, like you and your wife, want to stay living in their own home for as long as possible. But being able to do so will depend on how easy it is to maneuver your living space as you get older. Here are some helpful resources you can turn to, to get an idea of the diff erent types of features and improvements that will make your house safer and more convenient as you grow older. Home Evaluation A good fi rst step in making your home more age-friendly is to do an assessment. Go through your house, room-byroom, looking for problem areas like potential tripping or slipping hazards, as well as areas that are hard to access and diffi cult to maintain. To help with this, there are several organizations that have aging-in-place checklists that point out potential problems in each area of the home, along with modifi cation and solutions. For example, Rebuild Together has a two-page “Safe at Home Checklist†that’s created in partnership with the Administration on Aging and the American Occupational Therapy Association. Go to AOTA.org and search for “Rebuilding Together Safe at Home Checklist.†You also need to get a copy of AARP’s “HomeFit Guide.†This excellent 36-page guide has more than 100 aging-in-place tips and suggestions that can be made to an existing house or apartment or incorporated into designs for a new residence. It explains how a smartly designed or modifi ed home can meet the varied and changing needs of its older residents. It also features easy-to-do, lowcost and no-cost fi xes that lessen the risk of trip hazards and increase the safety of high-use areas like the bathroom, kitchen and stairway. In addition, they also off er videos and a HomeFit AR app (available for iPhone and iPad) that can scan a room and suggest improvements to help turn your house into a “lifelong home,†free from safety and mobility risks. Visit AARP.org/HomeFit to order or download a free copy of this guide, or to watch their videos. In-Home Assessments If you want some personalized help, you can get a professional in-home assessment with an occupational therapist. An occupational therapist, or OT, can evaluate the challenges and shortcomings of your home for aging in place, recommend design and modifi cation solutions, and introduce you to products and services to help you make improvements. To find an OT in your area, check with your physician, health insurance provider or local hospital, or seek recommendations from family and friends. Many health insurance providers, including Medicare, will pay for a home assessment by an OT if prescribed by your doctor. However, they will not cover the physical upgrades to the home. Another option is to contact a builder who’s a Certifi ed Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS). CAPS are home remodelers and design-build professionals that are knowledgeable about aging in place home modifi cations and can suggest ways to modify or remodel your home that will fi t your needs and budget. CAPS are generally paid by the hour or receive a fl at fee per visit or project. To find a CAPS in your area visit the National Association of Home Builders website at NAHB. org/capsdirectory where you can search by state and city.

Date: January 28, 2022 PAMELA CASEY O’BRIEN REGISTER OF PROBATE February 4, 2022 who are incarcerated but prohibited from voting are notifi ed of their right to vote upon release and given the opportunity fi ll out a voter registration form; and requiring the secretary of state to conduct a comprehensive public awareness campaign to publicize the new voting and registration options. The Senate has already approved a diff erent version of the bill which includes same day registration that allows people to register to vote on the same day that they actually vote. The House version does not include that provision. Rep. Dan Ryan (D-Boston), House chair of the Elections Laws Committee, led the charge on the House fl oor for the bill but did not respond to several requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on passage of the bill. “With nationwide assaults on voting rights and upcoming elections in November, our democracy can’t be taken for granted,†said Carol Rose, executive director of the ACLU of Massachusetts. “It must be protected and strengthened, not just in Congress but in every state. Passage of [this bill] in the Massachusetts House represents important progress, and we are grateful that state lawmakers adopted reforms—from widespread mail-in voting to improved access for eligible incarcerated voters—that will address barriers to the ballot and expand the hard-won right to vote.†“Speaker Ron Mariano and his leadership team passed a very partisan Democratic election bill,†said Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “It’s important for Republicans and common-sense Democrats to speak up and hold accountable the majority party when they try to change the rules in favor of their party’s electoral success.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill. A “No†vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes GET OPINION FROM SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT (H 4359) House 30-128, rejected an amendment that would require the Supreme Judicial Court to rule on whether the election bill is unconstitutional and to delay the measure’s implementation until the court renders its opinion. Amendment supporters said this is a very complicated bill and noted some analysts have said it might be unconstitutional. Amendment opponents said that the amendment is simply a tactic to delay passage of the bill and will impede approval of the bill which is aimed at voter integrity and ballot access. (A “Yes†vote is for getting the court’s opinion. A “No†vote is against getting it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino No PRISON VOTING (H 4359) House 153-5, approved an amendment that would require prison offi - cials to provide information to nonfelon prisoners on how to register and then vote in local, state and federal elections while in prison. Under current law, prisoners serving time for a felony are banned from voting until their release from prison. The amendment also requires prison offi cials to help these felons register to vote just before their release. Amendment supporters said that Your Hometown News Delivered!

PO Box 490407, Everett, MA 02149 lack of voting by prisoners, especially black and brown inmates, often occurs because they are not given suffi cient information. They said this is a subtle form of voter suppression. They noted the amendment would force prison offi cials to provide the information. “Currently, those few eligible incarcerated voters who are able to access a ballot application fi nd their application unduly rejected,†said Kristina Mensik, Democracy Behind Bars Coalition co-chair. “What’s more, we include provisions to help ensure that no eligible voter behind the wall is disenfranchised because they were unhoused before being incarcerated.†Amendment opponents off ered no arguments on the House fl oor. Beacon Hill Roll Call made repeated attempts to get a comment from the five legislators who opposed the amendment but only one responded. “I felt it was too costly and placed an undue burden on correctional offi cials,’ said Rep. Peter Durant (R-Spencer). The other four representatives who voted “No†and refused to comment are Reps Donald Berthiaume (R-Spencer), Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick), Shawn Dooley (R-Norfolk), and Marc Lombardo (RBillerica). (A Yes†vote is for the amendment. A “No†vote is against it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino 4359) Yes SAME DAY REGISTRATION (H House 93-64, approved an amendment to a measure that would implement same day registration (SDR) that allows people to register to vote at the polls on Election Day and on any of the early voting days prior to the election. The amendment would replace SDR with a requirement that Secretary of State Bill Galvin complete a study that would analyze the cost of the proposed policy to the state and cities and towns and what it would take for local city and town clerks to implement SDR. Under House rules, the approval of the study amendment prohibits a roll call vote on the straightforward establishment of SDR. Supporters of SDR said that the study is simply a tactic by SDR opponents to delay the implementation of SDR and also avoid a direct vote on SDR itself. Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa (DNorthampton), the sponsor of SDR, said it is an important tool that Massachusetts can use to increase voter access to the polls. “In 2021, we had one day of overlap when voters could vote early and register. There was not a fl ood of applications; just a few more people across the state who were able to exercise their civic duty. That small data point shows that this can work and [this roll call] vote shows that support for same day registration, already popular with voters, is growing amongst legislators as well.†Some supporters of the amendment to replace SDR with the study BEACON | SEE Page 15 ׉ Ú7cassandra://OHYndtzvstcCcpZMN8Ok2ndAvLwj0Jp8r0yngBJXBSMÍ&|Í`Ì°Í×aüs^©O#pç/׉EÚ1qTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2022 Page 15 BEACON | FROM Page 14 by the secretary of state said the House should not implement SDR without having suffi cient facts on its eff ects. Others expressed concerns about the ability of cities and towns to implement SDR rules without disruption. (Beacon Hill Roll Call urges readers to read the following carefully and understand what a “Yes†and “No†vote mean on this roll call. The roll call was on replacing SDR with a study. Therefore, a “Yes†vote is in favor of the study of SDR. A “No†vote is against the study and in most cases in favor of SDR itself.) Rep. Jessica Giannino No PROOF OF VACCINATION (H 4359) House 31-127, rejected an amendment that would prohibit any city or town from requiring that a voter show proof of vaccination as a condition of entering a polling place to vote or to register to vote. “If any voting location required a vaccination, then a sizable portion of the population would be prevented from entering the facility to exercise their constitutional right,†said sponsor Rep. Peter Durant (R-Spencer). “Since statistically the majority of people not vaccinated are minorities, a major constituency this bill sought to protect, any vaccine requirement would not only be unconstitutional, but also seen as an eff ort to suppress the vote.†Amendment opponents said this is a solution in search of a problem. They noted that voters are not being asked to show proof of vaccination. (A “Yes†vote is for the amendment banning cities and towns from requiring voters to provide proof of vaccination. A “No†vote is against the ban.) Rep. Jessica Giannino No REQUIRE VOTER ID (H 4359) House 32-126, rejected an amendment that would require voters to show a federal or Massachusetts picture identifi cation at their polling places in order to be allowed to vote. The state would also be required to establish a waiver of the fee for obtaining the ID for indigent persons. Supporters said it is illogical that all voters are not required to show identifi cation prior to voting and noted that 24 other states have laws requiring IDs. They argued that people cannot cash a check, rent a car, fl y on a plane or even enter some government buildings without showing an ID. “I fi led this amendment to protect the integrity of every U.S. citizen’s vote in Massachusetts while providing the opportunity to get a free picture ID for those who don’t have one,†said sponsor Rep. Paul Frost (R-Auburn) “A free ID avoids the issues and barriers of a so-called poll tax, while making sure each voter is who they say they are when voting.†Opponents of the amendment said it would disenfranchise thousands of voters including people who do not have a current address because they are in a homeless shelter or domestic violence facility. Other opponents said there have been no widespread reports of voter fraud in Massachusetts. (A “Yes†vote is for requiring a voter ID to vote. A “No†vote is against requiring it.) Rep. Jessica Giannino No $76 MILLION FOR COVID-19 (S 2622) Senate 40-0, approved a $76 million COVID-19 response bill. Key provisions provide $30 million to increase the number of COVID-19 testing sites and purchase COVID-19 tests and $5 million earmarked to expanding vaccination rates among kids ages 5 to 11 whose vaccination rates remain low in comparison to older residents Another $25 million would be used for the acquisition and distribution of high-quality personal protective masks, including N95s and KN95s, to be distributed to health care workers and children and faculty in elementary and secondary public-school districts. The measure also mandates that the Baker administration pursue the highest allowable rate of federal reimbursement for the $76 million package. “With the passage of today’s bill, the Senate confronts the challenges brought upon us by the Omicron surge and prioritizes urgently needed additional resources to expand access to rapid testing, masks, vaccines and boost our COVID-19 response eff orts,†said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “Today’s investments refl ect the Senate’s commitment to center equity in the state’s ongoing pandemic response,†said Senate President Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “In addition to maintaining public health, key aspects of this bill, like the distribution of masks, will ensure that our COVID mitigation strategy is fair.†“Today the Senate is acting decisively and strategically to protect the most vulnerable among us,†said Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Northampton), Senate Chair of the Committee on Covid-19 and Emergency Preparedness and Management. “I’m proud that this bill makes targeted investments in community organizations that are working hard to get more residents vaccinated and keep them protected from severe illness due to COVID-19,†said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), Senate Vice Chair of the Committee on COVID-19 and Emergency Preparedness and Management. The House has already approved its own version of the bill. A HouseSenate conference committee will try to hammer out a compromise version. (A “Yes†vote is for the bill.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes STATE SHOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL MONEY TO NURSING HOMES (S 2622) Senate 9-31, rejected an amendment that would require the state to provide COVID-19 funding, until the end of the federal public health emergency, to nursing homes to support infection control standards, including staff training and wages; temporary labor costs; hiring new staff ; procuring personal protective equipment (PPE); and costs associated with establishing single occupancy isolation rooms. The funds would be equal to at least 15 percent of the average monthly MassHealth Fee-For-Service payments made to nursing facilities for the purpose of supporting infection control standards, including staffi ng, PPE and isolation of residents, through the duration of the federal public health emergency. “Massachusetts nursing facilities are in the midst of a historic fi nancial and workforce crisis, which has only been exacerbated by the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic,†said sponsor Sen. Diana DiZoglio (D-Methuen). “This crisis impacts all nursing facilities—not-for-profi t, for profi t, family owned—and is directly attributable to a MassHealth payment system that has not kept pace with the cost of nursing facility care over the last decade.†“It is critical that nursing facilities have the resources to remain vigilant against the unpredictable COVID-19 virus,†continued DiZoglio. “The stark reality is that nursing facilities across the state are faced with an immediate and urgent workforce crisis resulting in over 7,000, or 1 in 5 direct-care positions unfi lled. Given the acute staffi ng crisis, to meet the ongoing care needs of their residents, the vast majority of nursing facility staff are working overtime and over half of nursing facilities are intermittently denying new resident admissions and hospital referrals resulting in disruptions in access to care.†Senate Ways and Means chair Sen. Mike Rodrigues said he agrees that nursing homes need help but that “this was a very narrow bill focused on access to testing, masks and vaccines for communities disproportionately aff ected by COVID-19.†Rodrigues said, “We absolutely know that nursing homes are hurting, “We absolutely know that nursing homes are hurting and we will consider supports for nursing homes in future legislation.†(A “Yes†vote is for the amendment. A “No†vote is against it.) Sen. Lydia Edwards No 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.
