If passed, this bill would create a payment plan with the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) where those with suspended licenses who have completed all other necessary requirements but face a fi nancial barrier would be able to obtain a temporary license so long as they make payments. The bill sits before the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Transportation. “I think this bill is so important because so many people rely on driving themselves to get to work,” said McGonagle. “If they can’t get to work, how are they supposed to pay off their fi nes, much less support themselves or their families? This bill doesn’t cut slack in penalties. It helps to ensure that drivers are legally licensed, which makes our roads safer for all.

The drive ran from October 2023 to December 2023, and with the donated yarn, the Yarn Club crocheted and knitted 105 scarves for the community. Additionally, patrons dropped off 45 other handcrafted items for citizens this winter, including hats, booties, baby blankets and other essentials to provide warmth during the winter season. “Yarn Club had been meeting every other week starting at the beginning of 2023.

FRC Program Manager Eleanor Gayhart commented on the Yarn Club’s hard work and the success of the donation drive. “There will be so many happy clients,” she said. “We see so many people come for food pantry and other services without appropriate winter gear, and it will be so meaningful to be able to provide these to them. All the items are beautiful and the club members did such amazing work! We look forward to fi nding additional ways to collaborate.” Library Director Kevin Sheehan expressed pride in the staff ’s community contribution, inviting everyone to witness one of the Yarn Club’s projects displayed at the Parlin Library. “I’m really proud that our staff found a way to help our community through our Yarn Club.

The seat serves Cambridge, Everett, and Chelsea. An East Cambridge resident, I am an internationally recognized expert on democracy and former gubernatorial candidate. I am honored to serve on the boards of the Cambridge Health Alliance and Massachusetts Board of Higher Education. With children in the Cambridge Public Schools, I’ve been very involved in advancing high quality curriculum in our schools. Last spring I was honored to be elected chair of my ward committee, Ward 2 for Cambridge Dems. I come from people who have loved and fought for democracy for generations. As a kid I took the value of democracy for granted. But as I came into adulthood, I saw life paths diverging for myself and my cousins, and democracy got a lot more complicated for me. I’ve lost cousins to substance use disorder, incarceration, and homicide. But democracy’s not supposed to be abstractly valuable. When we embrace the ideals of freedom and equality, it’s supposed to deliver a society that makes it possible for every generation to do a bit better than the previous one, and for whole generational cohorts to move forward together. We need to change our democracy so that democracy can deliver on its promise. This conviction has led me into work on democracy renovation. When I ran for Governor I was taken by surprise by just how many people feel disconnected from our political institutions. I think it’s time to change that. Our party, MassDems, can lead the way. I am advocating for our party to set up a MassDems Commission on Healthy Democracy to advance the values of inclusion, engagement, and healthy competition. I seek to put “democracy” back in Democrat. I would be honored to succeed the remarkable Lesley Phillips in this important work, and am proud to have the endorsements of Ward 6 Chair Linda Pinti, Representative Marjorie Decker, Representative Mike Connolly, Councillor Sumbul Siddiqui, Mayor Nicole LaChapelle, former MassDems Chair and State Treasurer, Steve Grossman, and others. To learn more, please visit allenforma.com. I ask for your vote for Democratic State Committeewoman to advance this work. Whether you vote by mail, vote early, or vote on Tuesday March 5th , please vote for Danielle Allen.

TESTIFY | FROM PAGE 3 State Senator Sal DiDomenico along with Middlesex County had their license suspense because of an inability to pay fi nes, increase public safety and bring funds to the Commonwealth. Presently, the RMV cannot accept partial payment of any fi nes or administrative fees which are owed. For many individuals, paying those amounts in full upfront can be impossible. The ripple eff ect can lead to unemployment, an inability to get children to school and leave people stuck in a cycle where fi nes continue to build while they have no ability to pay and may well encourage them to drive less safely,” said District Attorney Ryan. “Allowing the creation of a payment plan will allow these individuals to get their license reinstated and the RMV can begin receiving money which is now not being collected. I am grateful for the partnership of Representative McGonagle and Senator DiDomenico who have joined me in fi ling an eff ective solution to this problem.” H.3377 allows those who are otherwise qualifi ed to be granted a license except for outstanding fi nes to enter into payment plan with the RMV. With a minimum monthly payment of $25, eligible drivers will be granted a conditional license, which can be revoked for lack of payment or disqualifying actions. Upon repayment of total balance, drivers will have their full license reinstated. District Attorney Marian Ryan and State Representative Joe McGonagle testifying last week. (Courtesy of Rep.

You have to break down languages and cultures to fi nd out how to serve people.” Many years ago, there were over 100 officers, many of them walking beats before offi cers started patrolling in cars and automated phone systems were put in place. Mazzie’s family’s history with the Everett Police Department goes back to those bygone days and if anyone can be said of being born to be a police offi cer, it’s him. Grandfather Adolph joined in 1926 and retired in 1965. “He was a walking beat cop and knew everybody,” Mazzie said. His father, Adolph Jr., now 92, served from 1957 to 1986, overlapping with his father. Mazzie’s mother Joanne is 87. Chief Mazzie’s tenure did not overlap with his father’s, but his brothers John and Paul’s did. Both joined in the mid-1980s and served over 30 years. His sister Regina also served from 1989 to 2021, married a Revere police offi cer and was Everett’s fi rst female sergeant. “Policing was always an interest, but my dad didn’t force any of us into it,” Mazzie remembers. “Everyone gravitated towards the fi eld. Like a lot of young men, I idolized my dad and saw the relationships he had with people. It stayed in my mind.” That may have led him to minor in Criminal Justice at UMass Amherst following graduation from Pope John High School in 1985, which he attended due to budget cuts at Everett High. 425r Broadway, Saugus Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut Street We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 ALL IN THE FAMILY: The Mazzie siblings include Chief Steve Mazzie with brothers, John, Paul and sister, Regina, all Everett police offi cers.

In a law enforcement related development at the City Council meeting Monday, January 22, the members voted to send a letter to the Boston City Council related to that body’s December rejection of a $13.3 million anti-terrorism grant from the Dept. of Homeland Security, to which Everett is a party. The item, sponsored by Councillor At-Large Stephanie Smith, requested the Boston City Council to reconsider their vote, with Ward 3 Councillor Anthony DiPierro added as co-sponsor in discussion. Boston is the lead community on the grant but Everett, among other communities, could benefi t from the grant that “would fund planning, exercises, training and operational needs that will help prevent, respond and recover from threats or acts of terrorism, including chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive incidents,” as Boston Mayor Michelle Wu informed her City Council. “I urge your honorable body to adopt this so Boston may accept the funds and expend them for the purposes for which they are granted.” It did not, however, the result of a 6-6 vote that constituted the measure failing, with dissenting new councillors asking for more transFor Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@advocatenews.net parency. The funds are for the communities in the Metro Boston Homeland Security Region, including Everett and bordering nearby communities such as Cambridge, Chelsea, Revere and Somerville, to be used for things like radio equipment, explosive detecting dogs and vehicles for police and fi re departments. Since then, Boston City Councillor Ed Flynn has asked Wu to resubmit it and acceptance is expected. Mazzie said there are other sources of aid, however. “Everett will be fi ne,” he feels. “We can get a piece of that from our own initiatives.” He added dealing with terrorism represents another change he’s seen over the years. “When I became an offi cer, I was thinking about the traditional things offi cers do,” he said. “You never thought about dealing with terrorism, but it’s all changed. We’ve had to deal with the issue and now it’s a normal part of the business.” We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on!

DiDomenico joins colleagues, law enforcement and gun safety advocates in supporting comprehensive gun safety reform Multifaceted approach to gun reform set to boost public safety and save lives L ast week Senator Sal DiDomenico joined his Massachusetts Senate colleagues as they introduced Senate bill S.2572, An act to sensibly address firearm violence through effective reform – known as the SAFER Act – comprehensive gun safety legislation. The SAFER Act mandates reforming and modernizing the state’s firearm laws, supporting the state’s public safety and public health infrastructure in mitigating gun violence, and strengthening accountability and oversight mechanisms for illegal gun activity. The SAFER Act was scheduled to be brought to the Senate floor for debate on February 1, 2024. The omnibus legislation would help make residents safer – and ultimately save lives – by building on the Commonwealth’s already strong record on gun safety and updating laws to prevent those who wish to do harm from being able to access and use deadly weapons. This proposed legislation focuses on common sense policies to reduce gun crime and gun injuries in the Commonwealth, without infringing on the legal rights of responsible gun owners. It updates the state’s laws to provide law enforcement agencies with the necessary support to tackle today’s concerns relating to gun violence prevention and keep Massachusetts at the forefront of gun safety. “Gun violence has wreaked havoc in communities across our state and I am always proud to support reform measures like this one that promotes public safety and responsible gun ownership,” said Senator DiDomenico, who is Assistant Majority Leader of the Massachusetts Senate. “This commonsense proposal has secured support from gun safety advocates, law enforcement, the attorney general, and district attorneys across our state. This expansive coalition is a testament to the collaborative process we used while crafting this legislation and I look forward to voting for its passage so we can continue to lead the country in gun safety.” “There is no appropriate measure of the pain and heartbreak that gun violence has caused in our Commonwealth and across the nation,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “Today the Senate has blazed a trail forward on gun safety. By bringing together stakeholders with a variety of viewpoints, the Senate has shown that it is possible to make changes to our gun laws that will save lives while respecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners in the state. Words cannot capture my gratitude to Majority Leader Creem for her steadfast leadership over the past several months, and to each and every stakeholder who took the time to engage with us on this important issue.” The SAFER Act was shaped and informed by extensive testimony at a November hearing of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security, where the public providSenator DiDomenico (standing at front, far right) with Massachusetts Senate colleagues, law enforcement, District Attorney Marian Ryan and gun safety advocates during a gun safety press conference; Senator Jason Lewis (standing at back, far right), Senator Brendan Crighton, Senator Liz Miranda, Senator Will Brownsberger, Senator Cindy Friedman, District Attorney Marian Ryan (middle, in dress), Senate President Karen Spilka (speaking), Agawam Police Chief Eric P. Gillis and Senator Cindy Creem (left of Senator Spilka). ed over four hours of testimony on more than 50-gun safety bills before the committee. It also follows months of discussions – led by Majority Leader Cynthia Stone Creem – with stakeholders and advocates with diverse perspectives on the issue. The bill has garnered support from stakeholders around the state. “I am thrilled to see the Senate introduce legislation that will combat the scourge of gun violence in our communities, including new tools to address ghost guns and selector switches. I appreciate the Legislature’s commitment to strengthening the Commonwealth’s gun laws to protect the public’s safety, and we look forward to working with both the House and Senate as the process moves forward,” said Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell. “This comprehensive bill is a much-needed step to ensure that we can appropriately hold accountable those who violate our gun laws and seek to escape responsibility by exploiting loopholes,” said Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan. “There is no question that the time to act is now. We must have gun laws that reflect the changes in technology, the personal tragedies caused by gun violence and its shattering impact on communities. I am committed to working with my legislative partners as this bill moves forward through the legislative process.” “The filing of the Senate’s gun safety bill today is an important step toward addressing the gun violence epidemic with the long-overdue urgency that it deserves,” said the Giffords organization’s State Legislative Manager, Joe Platte. “We look forward to continuing to work with Senate President Spilka and Senator Creem to save lives, promote responsible gun ownership, hold the corporate gun lobby accountable, and keep the people of Massachusetts safe.” “The Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association, which represents city, town and university police chiefs across the Commonwealth, supports the concise firearms reform bill put forth by the Senate,” said Agawam Police Chief Eric P. Gillis, who is President of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association. “Massachusetts has been a national leader in gun violence prevention and we’re grateful to Senate President Karen Spilka, Majority Leader Cynthia Creem and our gun sense legislators who continue to modernize our laws so that they remain some of the strongest in the country,” said volunteer Bobbie Dressel of the Massachusetts chapter of Moms Demand Action. “We know that every death caused by gun violence is preventable, and it takes forward-thinking measures and the participation of all of us to keep our communities safe. Now is the time for our lawmakers to work together and ensure that lifesaving legislation gets to Governor Healey’s desk.” “This gun safety legislation is a significant step forward in protecting the public without infringing on the rights of lawful gun owners,” said Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan. “The prohibition against ghost guns, enhancement of the red flag law, and strengthening of our assault weapons ban are critical changes necessary in keeping everyone safe. I applaud the Senate for their thoughtful gun safety legislation.” The bill has the following gun safety policies: · Ghost Guns: Updates the state’s laws to bring Massachusetts in line with national standards and to ensure accountability and oversight for those who own and possess un-serialized and untraceable firearms. • Assault Weapons: Codifies Massachusetts’ existing prohibition on assault weapons and copies or duplicates of those weapons, to ensure that our residents are kept safe from weapons of war. • Glock Switches and Trigger Activators: Makes it illegal to possess devices that convert semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic machine guns. • Inspections of Gun Dealers: Ensures that gun dealers are inspected annually and allows the Massachusetts State Police to conduct those inspections if a local licensing agency does not or cannot do so. • Red Flag Law and Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO): Allows health care professionals to petition courts to remove firearms and licenses from patients who pose a risk to themselves or others. The bill also allows preemptive orders to prevent a dangerous individual from obtaining a license to carry a firearm. • Harassment Prevention Orders: Protects survivors of harassment by requiring courts to compel the surrender of firearms by individuals who are subject to harassment protection orders who pose an immediate threat. • Sensitive Places: Prohibits the carry of firearms in government administrative buildings, with exceptions for law enforcement officers and municipalities that choose to opt out. • Mental Health and Gun Licensing: Ensures that firearm licensing authorities have access to certain information about an applicant’s history of involuntary mental health hospitalizations due to posing a serious harm – with appropriate safeguards to guarantee privacy and due process. • Data Collection: Creates a more robust data reporting and analysis mechanism for guns used in crimes, suicides and attempted suicides to ensure that the Commonwealth can better target training and enforcement efforts. • Gun Industry Accountability in Advertising: Prohibits the marketing of unlawful firearm sales to minors and alREFORM | SEE PAGE 19 ׉ 7cassandra://sLOrHuurhfT5MS6Aa6uN22SwlfdOD7d7iLLxqxCii7E*N`̰e0*dJ+e0*dJ* PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://WrL8oYEdZNwC3r4q1WVPyDQWEWAEN2FjMGMs-L_rehE `)׉ 7cassandra://YzLd1NPINfREkcGFsIwMJABQLK0uWifleFhMxto_5Wc͜`J׉ 7cassandra://yWRevJaw01hIT5KAHKOKqK61d0R4KuZb0dol-5QoNy0-`̰e>*dJט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://ug-zKErjH42sh3DTZXHsdnt2EZxK7a4xI-RiCexrskkg`)׉ 7cassandra://UTFpFHH1qQepwOBqASQg-yRva1dI4SRIjwd0HwYhBZoͣk`J׉ 7cassandra://oX9D6OkqHZ5uh9l2Ig8w7rKh1f9uS1-pBrS4oH25VNQ0`̰e?*dJ׉EUPage 12 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, FEbRuARy 2, 2024 ~ Excellence in the EPS ~ Bringing Joy to Everett High Author Gabby Rivera Delivers an inspirational Talk to EHS Students Zion Church Ministries Dr. MLK Day Breakfast T G abby Rivera, an author, inspirational speaker and LGBTQ youth advocate, spoke to Everett High School (EHS) students on Wednesday, January 17, 2024.

Rivera is the writer and the author of “America,” a comic book series that tells the story of America Chavez, Marvel’s first LGBTQ Latina superhero. Rivera’s debut novel, “Juliet Takes a Breath,” received wide acclaim and was republished by Penguin Random House in 2019. She is also the host of a podcast called “Joy Revolution.” With passion, honesty and humor, Rivera talked about growing up in the Bronx and the “radical creativity” that she brings to her writing and career. She frankly discussed the personal and emotional challenges she endured and eventually overcame, stressing that “joy” has been the most prominent force in her life. She also spoke eloquently about her family, the “power in elders,” and the importance of one’s origin story. Thanks to the EHS-TV Studio, Rivera presented on the stage inside the EHS Auditorium, in the style of a TED Talk – an intimate in-person setting juxtaposed by a large screen where she could project images of her life and writings.

Thanks Again to the Kiwanis Club Holiday Luncheon a big Success as Always! S W hittier School seventh-graders recently completed a special unit on weathering and erosion that combined vocabulary, research, lab work, collaboration and experimentation. The multifaceted project was directed by teacher Deanna Kysilovsky and is refl ective of the creative and eff ective ways Everett Public Schools (EPS) educators are teaching core science concepts to middle school students. She started the unit by introducing the concepts of weathering, erosion and deposition. Students reviewed relevant vocabulary words and identifi ed and described specifi c scientifi c situations. The students then began thinking about how water aff ects rocks as it thaws and freezes Students collaborated in groups to brainstorm ideas about potential impacts on the rocks. After a whole group discussion, the students concluded that when water freezes on the side of a mountain, on a cliff or inside a rock, the water expands; after this process is repeated several times, it causes the rock to break into tiny pieces. To help students visualize this process, Kysilovsky led an ice lab that featured a heat lamp, sand, ice rock and a tray – allowing the students to see the melting process begin and unfold. During the experiment, the ice represented a glacier, and the sand represented the earth’s landforms. The heat lamp emitted heat energy and melted the glacier, causing a deposition of tudents in the Life Skills Class at EHS are pictured at this year’s Kiwanis Holiday Weathering and Erosion by Ice A 7th-Grade Project at the Whittier the sediments. Students observed the glacier as it started to change the shape of earth’s surface because, as the glacier melts, it weathers the land. Erosion occurs when the glacier melts and the rocks and sediment are carried to new locations. The movement of the glacier melting creates new landforms, and the shifting sand creates new, isolated hills and islands. When the experiment concluded, students could identify the reason why the earth’s surface is impacted and how it is impacted by the thawing of ice. Students described their observations in writing and concluded that the heat energy caused the glacier to break down and create new landforms like lakes and valleys. Luncheon inside the Crimson Café.

Authors of four straight wins, the Crimson Tide rattled off a couple of wins to end one week before beginning another, when they defeated host Somerville (46-44, Jan. 25) and then nonleague New Mission at home on Monday night, 75-46 that extended the winning streak at the time to three. The Everett girls took on the Highlanders again, this time on their own home court the next night, where they beat their longtime Greater Boston League (GBL) rivals by the slimmest of margins, 39-37 on Senior Night. The Tide began the streak against host Lynn English, 48-41 on Jan. 23. Teams with .500 or better records qualify for the state tournament, and the Tide girls are now right in contention for a postseason berth with five games still left on the regular season schedule. “This was a huge comeback win for us against a tough, physical Somerville team,” said coach Riley Dunn after last Thursday night’s game. “The girls stayed resilient and gritty to fight back from being 10 down with two minutes to play. They never gave up. “The defense really made things happen for us on offense,” added Dunn. “Defense is our identity, and I’m so proud of their fight and hustle in this game. This truly was a team win.” Tide teammates Malaica Guillaume, left, and Kaesta Sandy battle a Somerville defender as Sandy gains possession of the ball. Dunn mentioned that numerous players stepped up at different times during the game to make big plays, singling out the likes of Malaica Guillaume, who was everywhere on defense, and Sonia Constanza Flores and Casey Martinez, who hit some big-time shots down the stretch. The veteran coach also said that Kaesta Sandy and Taisha Alexandre posted up well down low to come up with some major rebounds and putbacks, when their teammates needed them the most. Emilia Maria Babcock led the offense with 19 points to go along with five rebounds and two steals. One of her shots tied the game with seconds left on the clock. Sandy then grabbed a crucial offensive rebound after a missed free throw, and without hesitation put it back up to account for the game-winning points. Malaica Guillaume was credited with six points and seven rebounds. Flores contributed six points and six rebounds to the winning cause. The Tide began this week with the win over aforementioned New Mission. “This was a major team win for us,” said Dunn. Babcock came through with her first double / double of the season to help pace the attack. She ended up with 17 points and 10 assists to go along with three steals. Babcock shot a perfect Malaica Guillaume looks up to the basket for an open shot. five for five from the free throw line to do her part to secure the triumph. Guillaume chipped in with 19 points, seven rebounds and two steals. Clarice Alexis poured in 17 points, while Sandy had 10 points and five rebounds. Taisha Alexandre finished up with eight points and seven rebounds. Dunn offered her thoughts on Flores following the New Mission game. “She’s always an energetic and tough presence on the floor, contributing in numerous ways for us,” the coach said. She had six assists, five steals and three rebounds in this game, and is constantly doing the little things, while pushing herself in every game to be the best she can be for the team.” The Everett girls took on host Revere last night (Feb. 1) after press deadline. They now have a week off to practice, before welcoming Medford to town for a game next Thursday night, starting at 6 p.m. Clarice Alexis reaches for the ball before a Highlander player.

They finally suited up for another game last night (Feb. 1) against Revere after press deadline. The win over Somerville followed a heartbreaking 75-73 loss to Lynn English, and firstyear head coach Gerard Boyce was just happy to get his players back into a game. “It was good to get back on the court after a heart-wrenching game we gave away to Lynn English,” Boyce said. Boyce credits his team’s resiliency, especially in the second half for the win over the Highlanders. Allsin Desruisseaux paced the offensive attack in the Somerville game with 15 points. Jaysaun Coggins was next in line with 13 points. Tyson Chhun chipped in with 10. Liam Dorosario had seven. Before the aforementioned Revere game last night, Boyce had his team working on various plays in practice to become a more efficient, consistent well-oiled machine. “During the week off, we tightened some bolts in our in Division 1, boys basketball looks to improve its seed for the postseason Tide’s Jaysaun Coggins hangs on the rim after a dunk for the Tide in recent action against Lynn English.

Boyce praised his Revere coaching counterpart, Dave Leary, and he knows games against the Patriots are always close encounters. “(Leary) is a sound coach, who does a wonderful job with his program every year,” Boyce said. The Everett boys will be on the road at Somerville (Feb. 6, 7 p.m.) and Medford (Feb. Lian Dorosario Santos looks for a shot to the basket under heavy defense against Lynn English. 8, 6 p.m.) next week. They are ranked 36th in Division 1, as of Jan. 30. The Top 32 clubs automatically qualify for the state tournament, with everybody else with a winning record participating in a playin game to begin the postseason. Counting last night’s encounter against Revere, they still have five more games left on the regular season schedule to improve on their current seeding.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the number of times each representative sided with Gov. Maura Healey on her 24 vetoes of mostly state budget items in the 2023 legislative session. A two-thirds vote is required to override a gubernatorial veto. In a full 160-member House, the governor needs the support of 54 representatives to sustain a veto when all 160 representatives vote—and fewer votes when some members are absent or a seat is vacant. Healey fell short of that goal as 25 votes was the most support she received on any veto. The House easily overrode all 24 vetoes, including nine that were overridden unanimously. No Democrats voted with Healey to sustain any vetoes. All 134 voted to override all the vetoes. Only GOP members voted with Healey to sustain the vetoes, but no Republican representative voted with Healey 100 percent of the time. The three GOP members who voted with Healey the most times are Reps. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) and Nicholas Boldyga (R-Southwick) who both voted with her 14 times (58.3 percent); and Donald Berthiaume (R-Spencer) who voted with her 12 times (50 percent). The GOP member who supported Healey the least numBeacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen ber of times was Rep. David Vieira (R-Falmouth) who voted with Healey only seven times (29.1 percent).

The package calls for about $2.07 billion or 3.7 percent more spending compared to the fiscal 2024 budget she signed in August 2023. “We are tightening our belts,” 0 percent Healey said. “I want to be clear about that, our economy remains strong, but the revenue picture is changing. Pandemic-era funding relief has gone away, and nationally, the economic recovery has stabilized. So, in this environment, it is important that we manage spending in a way that is making strategic choices, examining the impact of every dollar we propose to spend and that we bring our budget in line with a rate of inflation and in line with the resources and the revenue that we have.” “What Gov. Maura Healey is proposing is an irresponsible budget, coming in higher than last year which was already too high, while missing the much-needed reforms to curtail our immigration problems along with making our state more competitive,” said Paul Craney, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “The governor is continuing to spend taxpayer money on immigrants, while cutting spending on taxpayers, closing a state jail and shifting money away from dedicated savings. The governor describes this budget as fiscally responsible, but this budget reflects a state that is fiscally crumbling from the top down.” “As a former mayor, and someone who has traveled around the state listening to our local officials, I’m proud of the way that this budget proposal responds to local needs,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “We’re fully funding the Student Opportunity Act to make sure our K-12 schools have equitable access to the resources their students and educators need. We’re also increasing the amount of local aid going to cities and towns and boosting Chapter 90 funding to improve roads and bridges, particularly in rural communities.” “Gov. Healey has filed a fiscal year 2025 budget that calls for significantly increased spending across state government, but those aspirations need to be tempered by the fiscal realities facing the commonwealth,” said House Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “After six-plus months of tax revenues coming in lower than expected, Gov. Healey has already implemented hundreds of millions of dollars in mid-year cuts and downgraded projected revenues by $1 billion for fiscal year 2024. At the same time, funding for the migrant shelter crisis continues to drain much-needed revenues that would otherwise have been spent on other programs and services, with no end in sight.” The budget now goes to the House which will craft and approve its own version and then it moves to the Senate which will offer a different plan. A House-Senate conference committee will eventually hammer out a compromise version that will be approved by both branches and sent to Gov. Healey who has the power to veto any spending and any other items. The House and Senate can then choose to override any of the governor’s vetoes. GOV. HEALEY SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER INSTITUTING SKILLSBASED HIRING – Gov. Healey signed an executive order requiring all state agencies to institute skills-based hiring practices. The order requires hiring to focus primarily on an applicant’s skills, knowledge and abilities rather than educational credentials. The only jobs exempt from the requirement are jobs when education degree conditions are absolutely necessary for the performance of the job. In addition, people in charge of hiring will receive training to help them implement these new hiring policies. “As the state’s largest employer, we rely on a strong, diverse workforce to deliver crucial services and programs for Massachusetts residents, businesses and communities every day,” said Healey. “But too many job applicants are being held back by unnecessary degree requirements. This Executive Order directs our administration to focus on applicants’ skills and experiences, rather than college credentials. It will expand our applicant pool and help us build a more inclusive and skilled workforce than ever before. Our administration is leading by example, and we encourage the business community to join us by adopting similar skills-based hiring practices.” “Massachusetts has an incredible opportunity to leverage its platform as a major employer, lead by example, and encourage more employers to do the same,” said Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development Lauren Jones. “As employers, including the commonwealth, embrace a skills-based hiring practice, we will collectively open more opportunities to hire, retain and develop the diverse, skilled talent employers need to grow and thrive in regions across the state.” FREE BUSES (H 3266) - The Transportation Committee held a hearing on legislation that would create a 1-year pilot program for free access to bus service for the MBTA and regional transit authorities. The measure also would establish advisory committees to evaluate the impacts of the pilot program on ridership, equity, increased access, efficiency, ontime performance, cost savings and other metrics. “Sen. [Pat Jehlen] and I filed [the bill] because access to public transit is critical to the well-being and economic development of our communities,’ said House sponsor Rep. Christine Barber (D-Somerville). “As we continue to see lower ridership compared to before the pandemic, removing barriers to public transit is an important method to get people out of their cars, decrease bus waiting time, decrease carbon emissions, reduce traffic and improve health.” PRIVACY OF COLLEGE STUDENTS (H 4266) – The House gave initial approval to a bill that would prohibit colleges from being required to release certain student education records to third parties that request the records. The prohibition would not apply to federal, state or municipal agency requests. “This bill is about protecting BEACON | SEE PAGE 20 ׉ 7cassandra://7Tql7UFXjQaciTIvB7w-pyfyA6HoLnmhfEJVbPLiOKk&`̰e0*dJ2׉E(THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, FEbRuARy 2, 2024 Page 19 ~ Everett Public Libraries Calendar of Events ~ February 5–10, 2023 Parlin Adult and Teens Blackstone Valley Veggie Growers: Winter Sowing with Milk Jugs: Parlin Meeting Room, Tuesday, February 6, at 6:00 p.m.; an interactive workshop using milk jugs as mini-green houses.

Jim Arciero (D-Westford), would eliminate the initial state-required annual inspection for brand new vehicles for one year. Supporters said that the legislation is based on the fact that pre-delivery inspections (PDIs) are required by each motor vehicle manufacturer from their dealers prior to the sale of a vehicle to a consumer. The PDI check list parallels the state’s vehicle inspection checklist and is an unnecessary duplication of the state’s inspection process. STATE PANEL DENIES EFFORT TO REMOVE FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP FROM MARCH 5 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY BALLOT – The State Ballot Law Commission dismissed a challenge that alleged Donald Trump is ineligible for office due to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, ruling that it does not have jurisdiction over the case. “The commission, having reviewed the materials submitted, has determined that the State Ballot Law Commission does not have jurisdiction over the matters presented,” the panel wrote. “Donald Trump’s name will not be appearing on the presidential primary ballot as a result of the submission of nomination papers or a certificate of nomination over which the commission does have jurisdiction,” the panel continued. “Rather, Donald Trump’s name will appear on the presidential primary ballot as a result of the Republican State Committee’s submission of his name to the Secretary of the commonwealth on September 29, 2023 … This submission from the state party should not be confused with a certificate of nomination.” GOV. HEALEY PLANS TO CLOSE OPERATION AT MCI-CONCORD – The Massachusetts Department of Correction (DOC) announced its intention to shut down MCI-Concord, a medium-security men’s prison which currently operates at 50 percent capacity with an incarcerated population of approximately 300. The shutdown is proposed by Gov. Healey in her fiscal 2025 budget proposal. The shutdown needs legislative approval before it goes into effect. The DOC said in a press release that the decision to end operations at MCI-Concord and relocate its staff and population is based on a “thorough assessment of decreased housing needs and the aging facility’s high maintenance costs.” It noted that the BEACON | SEE PAGE 21 ~LEGAL NOTICE~ A.G.

This will potentially place higher risk inmates in lower-level facilities, thus placing our offi cer’s safety at risk. We ask the governor, Public Safety Secretary and DOC Commissioner to halt any plans to close Concord until a comprehensive plan is in place.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Partnership between law enforcement and the communities they serve is the cornerstone of eff ective public safety.

Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of January 2226, the House met for a total of one hour and two minutes and the Senate met for a total of fi ve hours and fi ve minutes.
