Revere, Winthrop set for Thanksgiving showdown after long layoffs
By Dom Nicastro
T
he Revere -Winthrop
Thanksgiving rivalry is
more than a football game. It’s
a century-old tradition, a measuring
stick, a neighborhood
line in the sand. And this year,
both teams arrive rested, reloaded
and coming off unusually
long 20-day breaks when
they meet Thursday at 10 a.m.
at Harry Della Russo Stadium.
The Patriots enter at 4–6. The
Vikings comes in at 3–6. Neither
has taken a snap since
Nov. 7.
It isn’t the rhythm either
team expected heading into
one of the state’s longestrunning
Thanksgiving rivalries.
But a twist in the schedule
— Belmont opting out
of its game against Revere
last week — left the Patriots
idle. Winthrop, meanwhile,
chose not to play in its secondround
consolation game after
a tough Division 6 playoff loss
to Stoneham. So here they are:
two rivals with fresh legs, unpredictable
timing and everything
to play for on Thanksgiving
morning.
A rivalry with over
100 years of history
Revere and Winthrop fi rst
TURKEY DAY HOSTS: The 2025 Team Captains, shown from left to right: Walter Franklin, Jackson Martel,

met in 1913, making the
matchup one of Massachusetts’
oldest Thanksgiving
traditions. The Vikings hold
a 60–32–3 all-time lead and
have controlled the recent
meetings, winning the last
three:
2024: Winthrop 25, Revere 0.
2023: Winthrop 22, Revere 0.
2022: Winthrop 25, Revere 6.
Revere’s most recent win
came in 2021, a 16–13 victory.
Since then, the Patriots have
scored just six total points
across three matchups against
Winthrop.
Revere’s season: a mix
of youth, breakthroughs
and lessons
Revere’s 2025 season has
been defi ned by a young roster
learning on the fly and
fl ashes of potential that suggest
a bright future. The Patriots
hit their high point on
Oct. 31 when they beat Everett
for the second straight year
— something even longtime
coach Lou Cicatelli couldn’t
recall happening in program
history.
The Patriots have leaned
on their ground game all
season. Sophomore quarterback
Jose Fuentes — nearly
1,000 all-purpose yards this
fall — has grown into one of
the program’s most reliable
playmakers, dangerous both
as a runner and passer. Reda
Atoui continues to be a force
on both sides of the ball; Mario
Ramirez has given Revere
a power element in the backfield,
and Sergio Peguero’s
versatility has surfaced in big
games.
The offensive line, once
shaky, has matured steadily,
giving Revere the physical
presence needed to run its
Wing-T staples, including the
counter play known as “Sally”
that helped beat Everett.
But the Patriots staggered
into their long break after
a 27–6 loss at Newburyport.
Cicatelli said poor practice
habits and inconsistent
execution showed up on
the field. Belmont canceling
last week’s scheduled
matchup left Revere without
a game to stabilize its
momentum heading into
Thanksgiving.
Still, Cicatelli believes the
rest has helped. “We had a
nice, hard practice tonight,
watching fi lm, and we’re back
after it now,” he said about
halfway through his 20-day
prep for Winthrop. “I think we
made it. Hopefully it makes a
diff erence.”

Investment Group (HYM),
National Real Estate Advisors,
LLC (National) and the City of
Revere celebrated the grand
opening and ribbon-cutting of
The Point Barre and Yoga (The
Point), the second retail tenant
to offi cially open at Suff olk
Downs, following Twisted Fate
Brewery’s opening in October.
Founded in 2017, The Point is a
woman-owned yoga and barre
studio with an existing location
in East Boston. The expansion
to ground-fl oor retail space in
Amaya at Suff olk Downs marks
the studio’s second location
and will further enhance the vibrancy
of the growing Beachmont
Square neighborhood.
The offi cial ribbon-cutting ceremony
featured remarks from
HYM Managing Partner/CEO
Thomas N. O’Brien, Revere Mayor
Patrick Keefe, other Revere
elected offi cials and The Point
Co-owners Angela D’Amore
and Jessica Drake.
Located at 56 Salt St. in Revere,
The Point’s Suff olk Downs
studio introduces a bright,
modern and welcoming space
for yoga, barre and wellness
enthusiasts. Designed to inspire
movement, mindfulness
and community, the new studio
off ers a wide range of infrared
and room-temperature
yoga classes, barre and Pilates
sessions, as well as dance cardio
and mommy & me options. In
addition, The Point is launching
a Suff olk Downs Run Club and
partnering with NamaStay Sober

Situated in the vibrant
Beachmont Square, with direct
access to the MBTA Blue Line
and less than a half mile from
the oldest public beach in the
United States, the Revere studio
is perfectly positioned to
become a new local favorite.
“From the beginning, our
mission at The Point has been
to create a space where people
feel seen, supported and
connected. Expanding to Suffolk
Downs allows us to welcome
even more members of
the community into a studio
that nurtures both strength
and stillness. We’re thrilled to
bring this sense of belonging to
Revere and to contribute to the
energy and growth happening
in Beachmont Square,” said The
Point Co-owners.
“HYM is excited to celebrate
the opening of The Point Barre
and Yoga as Suff olk Down’s second
retail tenant,” said O’Brien.
“As a local, woman-owned business
founded in East Boston,
The Point has a deep connection
to this community. With
this opening, The Point adds
to the growing list of vibrant
destinations for residents and
visitors to enjoy in Beachmont
Square.”
“Today’s opening of The Point
Barre and Yoga is another exciting
step in the continued
growth of Beachmont Square,”
said Keefe. “We’re grateful to
see local, woman-owned businesses
choosing to plant roots
in Revere, and we look forward
to the impact The Point
will have on residents and visitors
alike.”

Healey, the bill is financed
by 10-year special obligation
bonds that are backed by Fair
Share surtax revenue. These
funds will be used to address
deferred maintenance, modernization
projects, and decarbonization
across higher education
institutions.
“The BRIGHT Act will ensure
that students across the
state learn and train in modern,
high-quality campus facilities,
while strengthening Massachusetts’
competitiveness in
research and innovation,” said
House Speaker Ronald J.
Mariano (D-Quincy). “Building
on the Commonwealth’s
increases in student fi nancial
aid, and on our commitment
to making higher education
more accessible and affordable,
especially for low-income
students, Massachusetts is undertaking
a generational reinvestment
in educating our
residents and strengthening
our higher education system.
I would like to thank Representatives
Michlewitz, Rogers and
Finn for their work on this bill,
my colleagues for supporting
it, and Governor Healey for her

commitment to this eff ort.”
“The BRIGHT Act will help
usher in a new era for public
higher education in Massachusetts,”
Representative David
M. Rogers (D- Cambridge),
House Chair of the Joint Committee
on Higher Education.
“Under Speaker Mariano’s
leadership, the House has created
free community college,
exponentially increased fi nancial
aid, and now the BRIGHT
Act invests nearly $3.65 billion
in public higher education
campuses statewide. This
new investment will: address
essential campus infrastructure
needs; develop modern
learning spaces; and decrease
reliance on fossil fuels.”
“The $3.65 billion BRIGHT
Act, bonded through a new
special obligation fund and
backed by Fair Share revenues,
will modernize every public
higher education campus
in Massachusetts,” said Representative
Michael J. Finn
(D-West Springfi eld), House
Chair of the Joint Committee
on Bonding, Capital Expenditures
and State Assets. “This investment
will spur economic
development creating goodpaying
jobs, and deliver cleaner,
state-of-the-art facilities
that will prepare our students
to lead in a competitive, sustainable
future. I thank Speaker
Mariano and House Leadership
for prioritizing this landmark
legislation and ensuring
Massachusetts remains a national
leader in public higher
education.”
“As a Salem State University
graduate, I’m deeply proud to
support this long-overdue investment
in the future of our
public campuses. The BRIGHT
Act doesn’t just upgrade buildings,
it strengthens our workforce,
our economy, and our
communities by expanding
access to high-quality, aff ordable
education. This commitment
ensures that students today
will have the same, if not
better, opportunities than the
ones that helped shape my
career,” said Representative
Jessica Ann Giannino (D-Revere).
“Education
is the great
equalizer. This bill will allow
for signifi cant capital improvements
to our public educational
institutions which will foster
increased economic growth
and improved and expanding
learning opportunities. I am
pleased that the House came
together to pass this legislation,”
said Representative Jeffrey
Rosario Turco (D-Winthrop).
The
investments included
in the bill create a long-term,
statewide strategy for addressing
aging facilities while aligning
campuses with the state’s
workforce, economic development,
and climate goals.
The bill also streamlines capital
project delivery, expands

State College Building Authority
(MSCBA), and increases
fl exibility for campuses to
manage facilities and property.
The BRIGHT Act is estimated
to create roughly 20,000 construction-related
jobs across
the Commonwealth as campuses
undergo major capital
improvements.
Specifi cally, the bill:
Invests $3.65 Billion
in Core Campus
Infrastructure
Authorizes approximately
$3.65 billion in bond authorizations
for investment in public
higher education campuses.
The Division of Capital Asset
Management and Maintenance
(DCAMM) will manage
most of these investments. Of
the approximately $3.65 billion,
about $3.1 billion will support
higher education capital
projects related to deferred
maintenance, decarbonization,
modernization, and planning.
The investments at public
institutions of higher education
are broken down as
follows:
$1.25 billion for the University
of Massachusetts (UMass)
System;
$1.25 billion for state universities
(9 campuses) and
community colleges (15 campuses);
MassArt;
$275
million for upgrades at
$100 million for the transition
of campus facilities and
property into housing and
mixed-use developments;
$80 million for costs associated
with decarbonization and
energy effi ciency;
$120 million for lab modernization,
projects at community
colleges to support collaboration
with vocational technical
schools, and projects related
to student health and wellbeing;
and
$30 million for costs associated
with developing required
campus master plans.
The remaining $170 million
is authorized for several separate
items as follows:
$50 million for a grant program
administered through
the Executive Offi ce of Administration
and Finance (A&F) for
general improvements and climate-related
upgrades at public
institutions of higher education;
$20
million to the Executive
Offi ce of Technology Services
and Security (EOTSS) for costs
associated with facilitating or
enhancing remote or hybrid
learning at public institutions
of higher education; and
$100 million for a grant program
administered by the
Executive Office of Education
(EOE) for improvements
to upgrade and expand career
technical education and
training programs (Skills Capital
Grants).
Updates to DCAMM
Oversight
Updates DCAMM’s project
oversight in campus construction
by raising the project delegation
threshold from $5 million
to $10 million for state universities
and community colleges,
allowing the Commissioner
to delegate more projects
to the MSCBA for supervision.
Raises
the threshold for
schematic design to $500,000,
exempting smaller repairs and
upgrades from lengthy design
and certifi cation requirements.
Surplus
Campus
Property Process
Allows DCAMM to dispose of
surplus campus property and
directs all proceeds into a new
Higher Education Property Disposition
Fund. DCAMM needs
to provide written notice to
the municipalities where the
property is located. These revenues
can then be reinvested in
other capital projects, including
deferred maintenance, decarbonization,
and other critical
repairs, without requiring
additional appropriations,
giving campuses a sustainable
way to reinvest in their own infrastructure.
Requires
DCAMM to conduct
a public hearing to consider
restrictions for property
that exceeds 2 acres or is
150,000 square feet or greater.
Anticipates delegating envelope/HVAC
projects, which allows
for increased decarbonization
work.
Improves Education and
Transportation Fund Capital
Financing
To support investments, the
bill authorizes the State Treasurer
to issue special obligation
bonds backed by the Education
and Transportation
Fund, strengthening longterm
funding capacity for capital
projects.

public education, aff ordable
higher education, transportation
infrastructure, and
related capital needs, such as
rail, bridges, bicycle pathways,
and other public transportation
assets.
Modernizes
Massachusetts State
College Building
Authority (MSCBA)
Allows DCAMM Commissioner
to delegate campus
construction projects costing
up to $10 million to the MSCBA,
increasing it from $5 million.
Updates
MSCBA’s authority
to provide expanded services
to state universities and community
colleges, including fi -
nancing academic, administrative,
and campus infrastructure,
as well as managing decarbonization
and energy effi -
ciency improvements.
Adds two ex offi cio non-voting
seats to the MSCBA Board
(one state university president
and one community college
president), increasing
membership to 11 and allowing
for enhanced information
sharing.
Bond Issuance &
Debt Structure
To fi nance capital improvements,
the bill authorizes the
State Treasurer to issue up to
approximately $3.1 billion in
bonds for campus upgrades
and $170 million for grants
and technology services.
Bonds are backed by Education
and Transportation Fund
revenues, not the state’s general
obligation capacity, and
are therefore exempt from
statutory debt limits.

Accountability
Requires annual reporting
from DCAMM, A&F, EOE,
UMass, the state universities,
and the community colleges
detailing project status, expenditures,
emissions reductions,

and other grant programs
that are run by the Department
of Higher Education.
Directs DHE to promulgate
regulations accordingly.
The bill passed the House of

Perfection or Pressure? Recognizing
Anxiety in High-Achieving Kids
P
HILADELPHIA, Penn., Nov.
19, 2025 — Balancing academics,
athletics and friendships
can push even the most
capable kids to their limits. For
parents, the real challenge lies
in recognizing when healthy
ambition crosses the line into
anxiety — when the drive
to succeed begins to harm a
child’s overall well-being.
Some signs are more subtle
than others, says school counselor
Jennifer Licate, so it’s important
to recognize both the
physical and behavioral clues.

Frequent headaches, stomachaches,
or digestive issues
before a big game or test may
point to anxiety — but less obvious
signals, like withdrawing
from activities they once
loved, can be just as telling.
“You know your child best.
You know their history. You
know their disposition and the
things they like to do. If your
child has always loved going
to soccer practice and suddenly
doesn’t want to go, starts
complaining about it — that’s
a really big sign,” said Licate,
whose chapter book My Anxiety
is Messing Things Up centers
on a hardworking student
athlete named Oscar who feels
the relentless pressure to be
perfect — in school, in sports

Traffic Comm addresses HP
spaces, temporary speed bump,
and EV charging placement
By Barbara Taormina
T
he Traffic Commission
made several changes to
parking regulations throughout
the city at their meeting
this month. A handicap parking
space on Dedham Street
was removed because the
resident who needed it had
moved. A handicap space
added at 37 Tapley Avenue
was approved.
The commission tabled a
motion to make Pearl Avenue,
Cresent Avenue and Summer
Street 24/7 resident parking.
Commissioners agreed that
before voting on the motion
they wanted some community
feedback on the proposal.
The Traffi c Working Group
presented speed data and
proposed traffic calming
measures for Rice Avenue
and Lantern Road. The Traffi
c Working Group is recommending
placing temporary
speed humps between Lancaster
Street and Rice Avenue.
Lantern Road also was
recommended as a site with a
speeding issue. A temporary
speed hump is planned for
136 Lantern Avenue, which
will be installed in the spring.
Speeding was found not to
be a factor on East Mountain
Avenue. The commission voted
to move the proposal for
temporary speed humps to a
public hearing.
Worcester-based Commonwealth
Electrical Technologies
are proposing on-street
electric vehicle charging stations.
There are three sites being
considered: Proctor Street,

McCoba Street and Hutchinson
Street. A representative
from Commonwealth said
there was community outreach
before choosing the
sites for the charging stations.
The stations will require
a 20-foot space, and parking
will be specifi cally for charging
vehicles for 12 hours each
day. The commission tabled
the proposal in order to get
more information on how the
charging stations would work
in the neighborhoods.
Several people at the meeting
noted that it was the fi -
nal meeting for City Planner
Frank Stringi, who has served
on the Traffi c Commission for
41 years. Stringi is just stepping
down from the Traffic
Commission and will continue
to work as city planner.
Thanksgiving is leading
day of the year for U.S.
home cooking fires
Special to Th e Advocate
N
ovember 11, 2025 – An estimated
1,446 home cooking
fi res were reported to U.S.
fi re departments on Thanksgiving
Day in 2023, refl ecting a 388
percent increase over the daily
average, according to the National
Fire Protection Association®
(NFPA®
).
Christmas Day and
Christmas Eve ranked as the second-
and third-leading days of
the year for home cooking fi res.
“Thanksgiving is a hectic holiday
with multiple dishes cooking
and baking at the same
time, and along with guests,
entertaining, and other distractions,
it can be easy to lose sight
of what’s on the stove or in the
oven,” said Lorraine Carli, vice
president of Outreach and Advocacy
at NFPA. “With all these
factors at play, it’s no surprise
that we consistently see a dramatic
spike in home cooking
fi res on Thanksgiving.”
On annual average between
2019 and 2023, cooking accounted
for the majority of U.S.
home fi res on Thanksgiving Day
(80 percent) and 40 percent of
the civilian injuries; no civilian
deaths were reported. Overall,
cooking is the leading cause
of U.S. home fi res and injuries
and the second-leading cause
of home fi re deaths. Unattended
cooking is the leading contributing
factor in home cooking
fi res and fi re deaths.

cooking and minimizing the
likelihood of getting distracted
can greatly reduce the risk of
cooking fi res,” said Carli. “As simple
as these preventative measures
may sound, they truly can
help ensure that everyone enjoys
a festive, fi re-free holiday.”
Following are additional tips
and recommendations from
NFPA to help everyone cook
safely on Thanksgiving:
• Never leave the kitchen
while cooking on the stovetop.
Some types of cooking, especially
those that involve frying
or sautéing with oil, need continuous
attention.
• When cooking a turkey, remain
at home and check it regularly.
•
Make use of timers to keep
track of cooking times, particularly
for foods that require longer
cook times.
• Keep things that can catch
fire like oven mitts, wooden
utensils, food wrappers, and
towels at least three feet away
from the cooking area.
• Avoid long sleeves and hanging
fabrics that can come in contact
with a heat source.
• Always cook with a lid beside
your pan. If a small grease
fi re starts, smother the fl ames
by sliding the lid over the pan,
then turn off the burner. Do not
remove the cover because the
fi re could start again.
• For an oven fi re, turn off the
heat and keep the door closed.
Only open the door once you’re
confi dent the fi re is completely
out, standing to the side as
you do. If you have any doubts
or concerns, contact the fi re department
for assistance.
• Keep children and pets at
least three feet away from the
stove and areas where hot food
or drink is prepared or carried.

that team is long gone. The Vikings
won three of their next
four heading into the playoff
s and nearly upset Stoneham
in a 30–20 loss on Nov.
7. They had won three out of
four heading into the playoff s,
including a 7-6 win over a 6-1
Gloucester team in a Northeastern
Conference battle in
Winthrop.
Senior captain Seth Sacco
has been the engine of Winthrop’s
turnaround. Against
Stoneham, he rushed for well
over 100 yards and added
three touchdowns. Sean Dolen
opens holes for Sacco,
while Nick Romano, Michael
D’Ambrosio and Desmond
Cassidy have anchored a physical
defense.
Winthrop’s special teams
are also a major storyline with
multiple kickoff return touchdowns
this season and one of
the most eff ective kickers in
the region, according to reports.
Cicatelli said on film,
that unit “is very, very good,”
and possibly the best Revere
will face this year.
“They can pop the ball anywhere
on kickoff return,” he
said. “There’s no way I’m kicking
to them.”
Neither team has played
in nearly three weeks. But
they head to Thanksgiving
having won three of their
last five and rediscovered
their identity as a run-heavy,
physical team that can strike
quickly.

Be prepared before the next power outage.
Very little in this matchup is a
surprise.
“We know what they’re going

said. “It’s just a matter of who
runs the ball better and who
tackles better.”

consistent blocking, fewer
mistakes than last year’s
meeting and keeping Winthrop
from landing explosive
special teams plays. For
Winthrop, it means trying
to handle Revere’s multiple-back
approach and containing
Fuentes’ scrambling
ability.
The traditional
night-before meeting,
and the stakes
Revere holds its traditional
night-before-Thanksgiving
gathering again this year, a
chance for players to refl ect
on their season, their relationships
and their lives. It’s always
emotional, Cicatelli said. It always
resets the room. And for
many seniors, it’s their last
football meeting — ever.
Cicatelli makes sure they
understand what this game
means. “They know it’s a big
game,” he said. “And it’s something
that they’ll never forget.”

state’s most well-known merit
awards. It provides up to
eight semesters of tuition
credit at any public Massachusetts
college or university. Eligibility
is based on a student’s
MCAS performance, requiring
an Advanced score on at
least one high school state assessment
test in English Language
Arts, Mathematics or
Science and Technology/Engineering
(STE), as well as Profi
cient or Advanced scores on
the remaining assessments.
Students must also rank in the
top 25 percent of their district
based on combined MCAS
achievement.
Beyond academic performance,
students must reside in
Massachusetts for at least one
year before enrolling in college,
meet federal or state eligibility
guidelines, enroll fulltime
in an approved program,
complete the FAFSA or MASFA,
and remain in good standing
on any federal or state student
loans.
Principal Bowen acknowledged
how demanding those
standards are and praised students
for rising to the challenge.
“We just wanted to say,
congratulations,” Bowen told
the group of seniors. “This is a
thing that happens every year,
and we realize we don’t always
acknowledge it. And I think it’s
a cool accomplishment that
we had maybe 120, 125 students
at our high school. We
had about 10 or 15 from CityLab,
but well over 25 percent of
the class did that well.”
He noted that the scholarship
not only rewards academic
excellence but also expands
access to Massachusetts’ public
higher-education system at
a time when families are facing
rising college costs. At institutions,
such as UMass, the award
translates into a tuition credit
of roughly $1,400 to $1,700 per
year, depending on the campus.
Students attending state
universities or community colleges
receive a credit equal to
the full undergraduate resident
tuition rate at those campuses.
Bowen also reminded
students to keep track of the
offi cial scholarship letter they
will receive, which serves as
the documentation required
to claim the tuition credit at a
state institution.
Members of the RHS counseling
team were present to help
RHS Principal Chris Bowen congratulated the John and Abigail Adams
Scholars last week in the RHS Learning Common.
After being congratulated by school leaders, teachers, district administrators
and School Committee members, the students got a
chance to talk with fellow scholars.
Over 120 RHS and CityLab students qualifi ed for the scholarship.
Superintendent Dr. Dianne Kelly provided words of encouragement
for many of the students at last week’s breakfast.

answer questions about the
award, remind students that
there is no application process
and ensure that seniors
understand how the scholarship
fi ts into their broader fi -
nancial aid picture. All eligible
students will meet individually
with their counselors this fall
to discuss next steps.
For many seniors, the morning
served not just as recognition
for past achievements
but as motivation for the year
ahead. Bowen emphasized
that the award refl ects years
of hard work — and that students
should feel proud of
what they accomplished. “We
just wanted to kind of do a little
meet-and-greet and give
you some recognition for hard
work over the past few years,”
he said, adding a round of encouragement
as students consider
their plans beyond high
school.
As breakfast wrapped up,
teachers, administrators and
School Committee members
echoed a similar message of
celebration and support as
they chatted with the scholars.
“Congratulations to the Adams
Scholars on a job well
done — and best wishes as
they take the next steps toward
college and their future
careers,” said Superintendent
Dr. Dianne Kelly.
School Committee Member Aisha Milbury-Ellis.
A group of John and Abigail Adams Scholars were all smiles at the

Revere boys’ soccer captains reflect on
strong season, postseason push
By Dom Nicastro
T
he Revere High School boys’
soccer team closed out another
successful campaign this
fall, finishing 10-4-5 and advancing
to the Division 2 Round
of 32 before falling to No. 1 seed
and three-time defending state
champion Oliver Ames. The Patriots
entered the tournament
as the No. 32 seed after a year
marked by strong senior leadership,
steady improvement and
a cohesive core built over years
of playing together.
The program’s foundation
this season came from its four
captains — seniors Adin Lozic,
Abel Aklog, Noah Gaviria and
Francisco Navarette. Together,
they helped guide a seniorheavy
roster that again made
Revere one of the most competitive
teams in the Greater
Boston League.
We caught up with Lozic and
Aklog to reflect on the 2025
campaign.
Lozic, a center back, said the
captaincy reflected his long
connection to both the program
and his teammates. He
saw it as the culmination of
years spent growing within the
Revere soccer community.
“Being captain and leading
my teammates who I’ve known
for as long as I lived in Revere,
it meant everything to me,” he
said. He noted that attending
captain’s practices even before
entering high school helped
him form relationships with
older players and learn how the
program operated. The continuity
among teammates, he
said, played a major role in the
KIDS | FROM Page 7
and in friendships.
Oscar’s drive to succeed
earns him praise in the classroom
and on the fi eld — but
also leaves him wracked with
anxiety. Unable to sleep and
increasingly irritable, Oscar
lashes out at his friends. When
a teacher invites him to a
school support group, Oscar

team’s identity.
“Almost all of us have been
playing since we were small elementary
schoolers playing club
soccer,” he said.
That familiarity, experience
and shared commitment contributed
to the Patriots’ ability
to stay competitive throughout
the season, bounce back from
a challenging stretch in October
and earn a playoff win over
Southeastern Regional Voke in
the preliminary round (Revere’s
only postseason win this fall).
Lozic said the group’s chemistry
“made the team feel like family
and made bonds that will last
a lifetime.”
Aklog, a central midfielder
and fellow senior captain,
must decide if he’s willing to
seek help and try new strategies
for relief.
Licate expertly combines a
fast-paced, relatable story with
guided questions and activities
at the end of each chapter.
These tools help young readers
explore their own feelings,
while giving parents, teachers
and counselors a structured
way to start meaningful consaid
the team’s competitiveness
came from its mentality
and its collective expectation
to win. He described a group
with strong personalities but a
shared focus. “What made this
team special was defi nitely the
heart we had,” Aklog said. “We
had a common goal of winning
and proving why we are
the best sports team in Revere.”
Revere’s postseason run ended
in Easton against a powerhouse
Oliver Ames squad, but
both captains said the experience
was valuable. Aklog noted
the difference in postseason
maturity and discipline but
said the opportunity to face the
state’s top program was meaningful.
“Facing Oliver Ames was
versations about anxiety.
“I wrote the book to help
children understand anxiety,”
said Licate. “Not all symptoms
look the same, and not
all strategies will work for everyone.
My hope is that kids
learn there are multiple tools
they can try to feel more confi
dent and less overwhelmed.”
The release comes at a time
when educators are reporting
and is an experience I will never
forget,” he said. The match,
he added, gave the Patriots a
clear view of the standard set
by a program “used to playing
in playoff games” and built on
“a dynasty.”
For Lozic, the challenge was
part of the motivation. “Unfortunately,
we didn’t get the result
we wanted, but just facing
them in the playoff s was an experience
to remember,” he said.
Both players expect soccer to
remain part of their future. Lozic
said he hopes to keep playing in
some form even if he does not
compete at the college level.
Aklog said he has received interest
from college programs
and hopes to balance academincreased
stress levels among
students. According to recent
studies, more than one in three
children experience anxiety
symptoms, and sleep disruption
is one of the most common
side eff ects. Licate, who
has worked as a school counselor
for more than a decade,
believes early intervention and
open discussion can help prevent
anxiety from becoming
ics with the chance to continue
the sport he has played his
entire life.
As the Patriots prepare for
next year, they will graduate
a large senior class but return
several players who contributed
this fall. The captains said
the culture built over the past
four years will be important for
the next group to carry forward.
Aklog said the exposure
gained this season — especially
in the postseason — will help
the underclassmen understand
what it takes to reach the next
level. As he put it, “Any exposure
is good exposure, and I’m
glad we faced them. What better
way to go out than to the No.
1 team in the state.”
debilitating later in life.
“Children do not need to
wait until anxiety is debilitating
before using strategies
to help their symptoms,” Licate
added. “Using strategies
to deal with anxiety can help
children and anyone reduce
their symptoms so they can
live their best lives, work toward
achieving their goals and
feel confi dent.”

THE HOUSE AND SENATE:
Beacon Hill Roll Call records
local representatives’ and senators’
votes on roll calls from
the week of November 17-21.
$2.3 BILLION SUPPLEMENTAL
BUDGET (H 4761)
House 149-9, Senate 38-0,
approved and sent to Gov.
Maura Healey a $2.3 billion fi scal
year 2025 budget to close
out the books on fi scal year
2025.
Provisions include $1.67 billion
for MassHealth, with a
$303 million net cost to the
state after federal reimbursements;
$374 million for Steward
hospital payments, with
a $236 million net cost to the
state; $10 million for Health
Care For All to conduct a public
awareness campaign to inform
vulnerable populations
about new Medicaid work requirements
put in place by the
recent federal spending bill;
$5 million in for reproductive
health care; $2.5 million for the
Committee for Public Counsel
Services for indigent persons;
$60.7 million for snow and ice
removal; and $50 million for
the Housing Preservation and
Stabilization Trust Fund.
Other provisions require an
investigation into sheriff s’ fi scal
year 2025 spending defi -
cits; create a new Sports and
Entertainment Fund initially
provided with $10 million to
support transportation, public
safety and other costs related
to Massachusetts’ seven
2026 FIFA World Cup matches;
criminalize the impersonation
of a federal offi cer and
increase penalties for impersonating
a public offi cial, including
a federal offi cer; protect
unpaid federal employees
from residential eviction or
foreclosure during and immediately
after any federal shutdown;
and remove the automatic
requirement of a public
notice for name-change petitions
fi led in court.
“This closeout supplemental
budget effectively closes
the books on fiscal year
2025 by following through
on our commitments across
the health care, education and
public safety sectors,” said Sen.
Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport),
Chair of the Senate Committee
on Ways and Means. “Besides
responsibly wrapping
up the last fi scal year, our bill
takes meaningful action such
as providing for technological
upgrades to the delivery of
SNAP benefi ts to our residents,
penalizing the impersonation
of a federal agent and protecting
federal workers from evictions
or foreclosures during a
government shutdown. This
agreement not only refl ects
our priorities, but also responsibly
reconciles spending gaps
and puts the fi scal year to bed.”
“This supplemental budget
will close the books on
fi scal year 2025 in a balanced
and fi scally responsible manner,”
said Rep. Aaron Michlewitz
(D-Boston), Chair of the
House Committee on Ways
and Means. “By making critical
investments into much
needed programs in health
care, education and housing
to name a few, the commonwealth
will be in a strong fi scal
position for fi scal year 2026
and beyond.”
“Beacon Hill is once again
using a closeout bill to expand
government costs without addressing
the underlying fi scal
issues driving them,” said Paul
Craney, executive director of
the Mass Fiscal Alliance which
opposed the budget. “Lawmakers
approved more spending
for free inmate phone calls
while quietly pumping another
$50 million into rental assistance,
a growing cost burden
driven in large part by
the state’s shifting costs from
the self-infl icted migrant shelter
crisis. Instead of shifting
money around to paper over
the problem, the Legislature
should confront the policies
that created these unsustainable
obligations. Taxpayers
deserve accountability and a
long-term plan, not another
round of reactive spending.”
None of the nine representatives
who voted against the
budget responded to repeated
requests by Beacon Hill Roll
Call asking them why they voted
against it. Those nine representatives
are Reps. Donald
Berthiaume (R-Spencer),
Nicholas Boldyga (R-Southwick),
Colleen Garry (D-Dracut),

RESCIND CALLS FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION (H
4692/S 2684)
House 155-3, Senate 34-4,
approved resolutions which
would rescind all previous
calls by the Massachusetts
Legislature for a national Constitutional
Convention under
Article V of the U.S. Constitution.
This
action makes Massachusetts
the 17th state to rescind
all prior applications for
an Article V convention and reaffi
rms that any constitutional
decisions should refl ect the
will of today’s elected lawmakers
and the people they represent.
An
Article V convention is
a process outlined in the U.S.
Constitution allowing states
to propose constitutional
amendments if two-thirds (34)
of state legislatures call for it.
Supporters of the resolutions
said such a convention could
open the entire Constitution
to unpredictable changes, as
there are no clear guidelines
or limitations on what delegates
could propose. They
noted that while an Article V
convention has never been
called before in American history,
there is recent conservative
momentum to add up all
active resolutions to meet the
two-thirds threshold.
Supporters said the resolutions
are in response to concerns
that Congress and the
Trump Administration could
attempt to use prior Massachusetts
resolutions to call for
a Constitutional Convention
to advance their own political
agenda, moves that could
have broad and sweeping implications
on current protections
under the U.S. Constitution.
“Given
the uncertainty surrounding
an Article V convention,
such a process could
present a serious threat to the
U.S. Constitution, our democracy
and the civil rights and
liberties that are the foundation
of our nation,” said House
sponsor Assistant Majority
Leader Rep. Alice Peisch (DWellesley).
“Today, we come
together in defense of the U.S.
Constitution, a document that
for more than two centuries
has guided our nation, safeguarded
our freedoms and
provided the framework for
our democracy.”
“Today’s bipartisan vote is
a resounding affirmation of
our commitment to protecting
the stability and integrity
of the U.S. Constitution,” said
Senate Majority Leader Cindy
Stone Creem (D-Newton), Senate
sponsor of the resolutions.
“By acting swiftly and collaboratively,
both chambers are
turning the page on these outdated
petitions that no longer
refl ect the values or priorities
of the commonwealth. Massachusetts
will not allow our
past resolutions to be misused
in ways that could undermine
fundamental rights or destabilize
our constitutional framework.”
“I
am the Senate sponsor of
the ‘We the People’ bill to repeal
the Citizens United decision,
including through an
Article V Convention. I continue
to believe it is a legitimate
path to change the U.S. Constitution,
and therefore I voted
‘No’ on the resolutions.”
None of the other six legislators
who voted against the resolutions
responded to repeated
requests by Beacon Hill Roll
Call asking them why they voted
against them. Those six legislators
are Sens. Kelly Dooner
(R-Taunton); Peter Durant (RSpencer);
and Ryan Fattman
(R-Sutton); along with Reps.
Nicholas Boldyga (R-Southwick);
John Gaskey (R-Carver);
and Marc Lombardo (RBillerica).

A “No” vote is against
them.)

Rep. Jeff Turco

Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes
CANNABIS CHANGES (S
2722)
Senate 30-7, approved a bill
that makes changes to the
2016 voter-approved state law
that legalized the recreational
use of cannabis including reducing
the size of the Cannabis
Control Commission (CCC)
from five members to three
members.
Supporters said the bill updates
licensure policies to
meet the needs of businesses
and consumers today and
in the future, allowing retailers
to expand and hold a maximum
of four licenses and removing
operational barriers
for smaller companies to enter
the medical marijuana market.
They noted that following the
successful introduction of recreational
consumption since
voters approved legalization
in 2016, recreational consumers
would be allowed to possess
a maximum of two ounces,
an increase from the current
one-ounce limit.
“As Massachusetts’ cannabis
industry continues to mature,
our laws must evolve to
meet the moment,” said Sen.
Adam Gomez (D-Springfi eld),
Senate Chair of the Committee
on Cannabis Policy. “[The
bill] is a thoughtful step forward
streamlining the CCC to
improve oversight, expanding
opportunities for local entrepreneurs
and recognizing the
reality of adult cannabis use
in our communities. By modernizing
our approach, we’re
strengthening public accountability,
supporting small businesses,
and advancing equity,
fi scal responsibility and patient
access.”
“Almost 10 years have
passed since the people of
Massachusetts voted to legalize
recreational cannabis
use, and, as the market has
grown, it has become clear
that we should make adjustments
to strengthen our regulatory
structure and relax limits
on possession,” said Sen.
Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport),
Chair of the Senate Committee
on Ways and Means. “The Senate
acted swiftly, overwhelmingly
passing legislation that
will reform operations at the
CCC while increasing public
accountability. This legislation
responsibly increases individual
possession limits and requires
the commission to report
on the mental health impacts
of cannabis use in the
commonwealth.”
“We should work to ensure

ates responsibly and safely,
and while I believe the bill
does put a better structure
in place for the regulation of
the industry, I also believe [it]
failed to put in place suffi cient
guardrails mitigating the potential
negative public health
outcomes related to a sharp
increase in cannabis accessibility,”
said Sen. John Keenan
(D-Quincy) who voted against
the measure. “Constituents
have told me about how cannabis
has negatively impacted
their lives, particularly young
people. With them in mind, I
voted against the bill.”
“My primary reasons for opposing
[the bill] are related to
two major provisions that could
affect regulation and public
safety,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman
(R-Sutton). “First, the bill reduces
the commission from five
members to three--a change
that could weaken oversight
and accountability. Second,
the bill increases the legal possession
limit for those under 21
from 1 to 2 ounces and raises
the civil penalty threshold from
2 to 3 ounces for those under
21. For those reasons, I couldn’t
support this bill’s fi nal form due
to fast expansion without solidifi
ed safeguards.”
The House has approved
a diff erent version of the bill
and the Senate version now
goes to the House for consideration.
(A
“Yes” vote is for the bill. A
“No” vote is against it.)
Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes
WHISTLEBLOWER (S 2722)
Senate 37-0, approved an
amendment that would ensure
that the Cannabis Control
Commissioners can maintain
their ability to receive complaints
and information regarding
the quality, effi ciency
and integrity of the CCC’s
programs and operations despite
[this bill’s] new language
that builds a stronger fi rewall
between commissioners and
ongoing investigations being
conducted by CCC employees.
“The CCC’s commissioners
are meant to serve a dual
role – both as a regulator of
the cannabis industry, and
as a regulator of the Cannabis
Control Commission itself,”
said amendment sponsor
Sen. Mike Moore (D-Millbury).
“While I understand the
purpose of building a fi rewall
between commissioners and
the work being done by the
CCC itself, given the myriad
scandals the agency has faced
over the last several years, language
in this bill should not
stop commissioners’ ability to
receive whistleblower reports
and other feedback about the
agency’s work. This amendment
clarifies that the path
of whistleblower reports still
goes through the commissioners
who have the power
to immediately take action to
correct failures of the agency
they oversee.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the
amendment.)
Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes
WARNING LABELS (S 2722)
Senate 11-26, rejected an
amendment that supporters
said would require that cannabis
and cannabis product
packaging include clear and
accurate warning labels that
address health risks, ensuring
consumers are informed
about potential eff ects. They
noted that these effects include
impairment, dependency
or risks during pregnancy.
They noted the amendment
expands labeling requirements
by adding batch
numbers, testing results, useby
dates, allergen information,
THC amounts per serving
and a required FDA disclaimer.
They said this amendment
requires rotating health warnings
including risks like addiction,
mood disorders, psychosis,
suicidal thoughts and cannabinoid
hyperemesis syndrome.
“Many
other states already
use similar warning-label requirements,
and following
those standards helps keep
consumers informed and
safe,” said amendment sponsor
Sen. Patrick O’Connor (RWeymouth).
“It’s a practical
step towards stronger public
health.”
“Accidental marijuana ingestion
poses serious and rising
risks to children, especially
since its legalization in Massachusetts,”
said Sen. John Keenan
(D-Quincy). “One study
found that in 2020 unintentional
cannabis exposure in
children under fi ve accounted
for 41.6 percent of all poison
control cases nationwide,
I supported [this] amendment
because its passage would
have required clear labeling,
similar to many other products,
indicating that it is marijuana
and is dangerous for
children. It also would have
included labels with information
directed at adults, including
THC level, a unique batch
number, a full list of ingredients
and potential allergens.”
Sen. Adam Gomez (DSpringfield)
said the bill already
includes robust labeling
requirements and argued
this amendment goes too far.
(A “Yes” vote is for the
amendment. A “No” vote is
against it.)

SUICIDE AWARENESS AND
REMEMBRANCE DAY (H 3888)
– Gov. Maura Healey signed
into law legislation designating
September 22nd as Military
Service Members and Veterans
Suicide Awareness and
Remembrance Day. The day
acknowledges that suicide is
an epidemic among service
members and veterans and is
designed to foster awareness
and call for suicide prevention
measures and support.
Supporters said that passage
of this law follows years
of advocacy, including the tireless
contributions from the
Partyka family, whose son,
Sgt. Matthew Partyka, a U.S.
Marine Corps Veteran from
Hingham, died by suicide in
2022. Matthew’s family has
been instrumental in raising
awareness about veteran suicide
and pushing for legislative
change.
“We brought forward this
legislation in direct response
to the tragedies that have left
holes in the fabric of our communities
and in order to build
awareness to prevent future
tragedy,” said sponsor Rep.
Joan Meschino (D-Hull). “[The
bill] is an important step in offering
support to both our active
service members and veterans.”
CAR
RENTALS (H 4705) – The
House and Senate approved
and sent to Gov. Healey a bill
that supporters said would
align the Bay State with the
majority of other states by
updating car rental insurance
requirements to maintain liability
coverage on a secondary
basis, making rental companies
responsible only if the
renter is uninsured or underinsured.
If a lessee or operator
of a leased vehicle already
has a valid liability policy or
equivalent fi nancial security
meeting the state minimum
requirements, the lessor’s coverage
obligation is considered
satisfi ed.
Supporters said that by shifting
primary liability to the
renter’s personal auto insurance,
the legislation helps
make car rentals more aff ordable
and accessible for Massachusetts
residents, reducing
costs while maintaining necessary
protections.
“When friends visited me on
Cape Cod this summer, they
were stunned at just how expensive
it was to rent even a
small sedan for the weekend,”
said sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (DTruro).
“And they’re not wrong
— rental car prices in Massachusetts
are higher than almost
anywhere else in the
country, in part because we’ve
kept an outdated insurance
requirement on the books.
We’re one of the only states
where rental companies, not
your own insurance, are required
to carry primary coverage,
and the cost of that policy
gets passed right along to
consumers.”
Cyr continued, “By aligning
Massachusetts with the rest
of the country, we’re helping
lower rental car prices for families,
travelers and anyone who
needs to rent a car in a pinch.
I’m proud the Senate has taken
this step to make life just a
little more aff ordable for our
residents and visitors.”
PROTECT COMMUNICATIONS
OF LABOR UNIONS (H
2087) – The House gave initial
approval to a measure that
would protect the confi dentiality
of all modes of communications
between labor unions
and their union members, except
in the rare circumstances
where disclosure appears necessary
to prevent injury from a
crime or when legal claims are
brought in formal proceedings
against unions.
“Workers need to know they
can bring issues on the job to
their union without fear of reprisal
or retaliation,” said Lindsay
Kenney, Legislative Director
of the Massachusetts AFLCIO.
“If workers don’t feel safe
to disclose safety issues – they
won’t disclose. If workers fear
inquiring with a union about
representation could get them
fired – they won’t seek out
union representation. “[The
bill] would address that issue

by establishing a legal privilege
preventing labor organizations
and workers from
being compelled to disclose
confi dential communications
made in the course of seeking
or providing representation.”
Rep. Marjorie Decker (DCambridge),
the sponsor of
the bill, failed to respond to
repeated requests by Beacon
Hill Roll Call asking her to comment
on the passage of the
proposal.
SAFETY OF CANDIDATES (S
2742) – Sen. Becca Rausch last
week fi led a bill that supporters
say will enhance the safety
and security of candidates for
public offi ce and other professionals
by removing home addresses
from ballots, nomination
papers and other materials.
The measure also similarly
would protect from disclosure
personal contact information
maintained by government
entities on elected
officials, judges, judicial offi
cers, law enforcement personnel,
public prosecutors,
public defenders and state licensed
professionals whose
work subjects them to an elevated
safety risk.
Supporters said that Massachusetts
is the only state in
the nation that unnecessarily
puts people at risk by requiring
candidates to put their
street addresses on nomination
papers and ballots.
“Amid harassment, intimidation,
assault and cold-blooded
murder of elected offi cials
and their families, as well as
health care professionals, law
enforcement offi cers and others,
we must do everything
we possibly can to protect
our existing public servants
and make it safe for anyone
to run for and serve in offi ce,”
said Rausch. “Notably, this is
not a partisan issue, as fi gures
spanning the political spectrum
have faced terrible violence.
I am proud to direct my
deep expertise in elections
and public records laws to the
widely shared goal of safety
and security for all by crafting
and fi ling this comprehensive
legislation.”
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

Answers
Security Spousal Benefits
Dear Savvy Senior,
How do Social Security spousal
benefits work? My wife,
who’s approaching age 62, has
had a few small-paying jobs
over the years, but spent most of
her time as a homemaker. What
is she entitled to?
Primary Breadwinner
Dear Breadwinner,
Spousal benefit questions
are among the most frequently
asked and confusing parts of
Social Security. The rules that
govern qualifying and claiming
are knotty, and there are many
exceptions. But understanding
how these benefi ts work is crucial
for maximizing your family’s
retirement income. Here’s what
you should know.
What Are Spousal
Benefits?
Social Security spousal benefi
ts are designed to provide
retirement income to spouses
who either didn’t work or
worked sporadically/parttime
and earned signifi cantly
less than their spouses over
their working lifetime. A stayat-home
parent is a good example
of a spousal benefi t recipient.
Who’s
Qualifies?
To qualify for spousal benefi
ts, you and your wife must
meet three conditions: Your
wife must be at least age 62;
you must be married for a year
or more; and you must already
be collecting your retirement
benefi ts.
Diff erent rules apply for exspouses.
Ex-spouses (if you
were married for at least 10
years and are not remarried)
can receive a spousal benefi t
based on an ex-spouse’s record
even if your ex has not
yet fi led for their own benefi
ts, but your ex must be age
62 or older.
How Much Are
Spousal Benefits?
The amount your wife
would get for spousal benefi
ts will depend on your earning’s
history and her claiming
age.
The maximum spousal benefi
t is 50 percent of your Primary
Insurance Amount (PIA),
which is that amount you’re
entitled to at full retirement
age benefit (FRA). But your
wife will only get that much if
she waits until her full retirement
age to fi le, which is 67 if
she was born in 1960 or later.
Unfortunately, spousal benefi
ts cannot be increased by
her waiting beyond FRA, but
they are reduced by taking
them early. So, for example, if
your wife were to start collecting
her spousal benefi ts at age
62 (the earliest possible age),
she would collect only 32.5
percent of your PIA.
To calculate exactly how
much your wife’s spousal benefits
would be reduced by
taking them before her FRA
see SSA.gov/OACT/quickcalc/
spouse.html.
You also need to know that
because spousal benefi ts are
based on your PIA, even if you
(the primary earner) retire early,
before you reach your FRA,
your wife’s spousal benefi t will
not be reduced. Just as they
will not increase if you delay
claiming your benefi ts beyond
your FRA.
You should also note that if
your wife worked and is entitled
to benefi ts on her own
work record, but it’s less than
what she’s entitled to as a
spouse, Social Security will
pay her the higher of the two
amounts, but not both.
Survivor Benefits
In addition to spousal benefi
ts Social Security also pays
survivor benefi ts to spouses
and ex-spouses starting at age
60 (50 if disabled).
So, if your wife outlives you,
she’ll be able to switch from
her spousal benefits to survivor
benefi ts and receive a
higher payment. Survivor benefi
ts range between 71.5 and
100 percent of the deceased’s
benefi t, based on your wife’s
age when she claims.
There is, however, one exception.
Surviving spouses
and ex-spouses that are caring
for a child (or children) of
the deceased worker, and they
are under age 16 or disabled,
are eligible to receive 75 percent
of the worker’s benefi t
amount at any age.
Online Calculators
There are several online calculators
that can help you and
your wife fi gure out the best
time to claim your benefits
to ensure you get the highest
possible lifetime payout.
One that’s completely free to
use OpenSocialSecurity.com.
Or for a more thorough analysis
use MaximizeMySocialSecurity.com.

2025 YEAR END TAX PLANNING
The State And Local Tax
(SALT) deduction is now
up to $40,000 for 2025. This
would include real estate
taxes, excise taxes and state
income taxes. This is a substantial
increase over the
$10,000 limit placed into law
by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
of 2017. These deductions
are claimed on Schedule A.
Many more people will be
itemizing their deductions
in 2025 as a result, as the total
of itemized deductions
for many taxpayers will now
exceed the standard deduction.
Mortgage interest and
charitable contributions are
also itemized deductions.
Nonitemizers can also
claim a $1,000 charitable
contribution ($2,000 for a
joint return) beginning in
2026. Although this does not
help you on your 2025 1040,
it is good to keep in the back
of your mind. Cash charitable
contributions are limited
to 60% of your adjusted
gross income. Excess contributions
can be carried over
fi ve years.
There is also the new
$6,000 deduction for taxpayers
age 65 or older. For
a joint return, the number
is $12,000. This deduction
was placed into law in order
to help off set taxable social
security income. There is
also a new write-off for up to
$12,500 of overtime pay, up
to $25,000 in tip income not
having to be reported, and
a write-off for up to $10,000
of interest on a car loan used
to purchase a new car only.
These deductions are subject
to modifi ed adjusted gross
income limitations (MAGI).
The $6,000 deduction for
taxpayers age 65 or older begins
to be phased out with
MAGI of $75,000 for single
taxpayers and $150,000 for
joint fi lers, and is completely
phased out with MAGI of
$175,000 for single taxpayers
and $250,000 for joint
filers. The right to exclude
$25,000 of tip income begins
to be phased out with
MAGI of $150,000 for single
taxpayers and $300,000 for
joint fi lers, and is completely
phased out with MAGI of
$200,000 for single taxpayers
and $400,000 for joint
fi lers. The right to take a deduction
of $12,500 to offset
your overtime pay begins
to be phased out with
MAGI of $150,000 for single
taxpayers and $300,000 for
joint fi lers, and is completely
phased out with MAGI of
$200,000 for single taxpayers
and $400,000 for joint fi lers.

In addition, NFPA strongly discourages
