Mayor releases police dept. organizational review

By Sara Brown he City Council received the independent organizational review of the Revere Police Department authorized by the mayor in a communication on Monday evening. At the May 7 City Council meeting, Mayor Brian Arrigo presented the review to the council. “We are going to take a hard look at these recommendations,� said Arrigo, referring to what amounts to an overhaul of policies and personnel structure throughout the entire department.

Arrigo hired Ryan Strategies Group last year to look at the police department to see how the organization can run more smoothly. In the report, Ryan Strategies Group suggests there are 37 distinct recommendations for the police department; they generally fall under three themes. Those themes pertain to 1) the department’s need to be intentional about engaging with the community and employing contemporary community policing strategies; 2) the department needs to be restructured so there are clear lines of accountability; and 3) the department needs to shift personnel resources and reconsider some of its methods of

T

service delivery in order to free up resources that can be redirected to the frontline patrol officer function.

Ward 6 Councillor Charles Patch asked that the report be moved to the Public Safety Subcommittee so the council could discuss the report at length. “I have a bunch of questions,� he said. “I don’t want to say them yet because it pertains to people working there.� Patch said he wants the chief, mayor and representatives of the police union to be in attendance.

Councillor-at-Large Dan Rizzo agreed the report should go to subcommittee first. “We just got this over the weekend,� he said. “We need some time to read this and understand the changes.�

When asked by Patch for the cost of the report, Arrigo replied that it was approximately $42,000.

Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto asked if the report has been shared with the entire police force. Police Chief James Guido, who was in attendance, stated that he plans on sharing it after the council meeting.

Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky asked what the timeline is for some of the changes recom-

However, they also wanted to make sure it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t negatively impact residents who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shovel. Senior citizens 65 years of age or older and disabled citizens would be exempt from the penalties. Residents would have three hours after a storm to clean their streets or they could face fines. Inspectional Services would be in charge of enforcing the ordinance, and the fines would be set at no less than $25 a day to as high as $490 for each offense.

ity Council Vice President Joanne McKenna and City Council President Jessica Giannino want to ban plastic straws in the city of Revere. At the May 7 City Council meeting, they requested that the city clerk draft an ordinance banning plastic straws. They said that plastic straws are the number one item littered at Revere Beach and once they get filled with sand, they get bur-

ied and become impossible to remove.

“The straws are getting out of control,” said McKenna. She said plastic, in general, is rapidly polluting the environment. According to her, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish. She thinks getting rid of plastic straws is a good place to start and said people could easily switch to paper straws.

“Thirty years ago nobody used plastic,” said Giannino.

“It’s not something we can’t live without. We can find easy replacements.”

Ward 4 Councillor Patrick Keefe agreed this was a good start in the right direction. “At some point, we need to make some sort of change,” he said.

“If we don’t change, the world is going to pass us by.”

Councillor-at-Large Dan Rizzo agreed. “We need to think about the next generation,” he said. “What kind of world are we

going to leave to them?”

However, some councillors were more hesitant about the requested change.

“How in the world do we enforce this thing?” said Ward 3 Councillor Arthur Guinasso.

“Do we have straw detectives?

If we write laws that can’t be enforced then what is the good of the law?”

McKenna wanted to pass the motion that night, but Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto wanted it to go to the subcommittee so he could get more data on it.

“We really need to start thinking about these things,” said McKenna. “We want to be proactive.”

“This is really making big companies think about their purchasing decisions,” added Giannino.

The motion was sent to the Legislative Affairs Subcommittee.

“If it’s a nasty storm, children are going to be home anyway,” said Ward 3 Councillor Arthur Guinasso. “Three hours is such a short time.”

“Three hours is unreasonable,” said Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky. Novoselsky said if a storm happens in the middle of the day, people may be at work and might not be able to shovel in time. He also mentioned that on the weekends, children are not in school so residents should

have more time to shovel.

Giannino and McKenna agreed that maybe more time is needed to clear the sidewalks. “We don’t want this to affect anyone in a negative way,” said Giannino.

Ward 6 Councillor Charlie Patch wants the Dept. of Public Works to get snow removal machines that are specifically made for sidewalks and use them on the main streets’ sidewalks of the city. “That seems to be where the biggest problem is,” he said.

The councillors decided to keep the ordinance in committee for further discussion.

Did state violate its own regulations?

Environmentalists claim it did in lawsuit to appeal DEP’s ruling to allow expansion of Wheelabrator’s Ash landfill

By Mark E. Vogler he state Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) violated a longtime law that requires local review of Wheelabrator Technologies, Inc.’s plans to expand its ash landfill, a regional environmental group claimed in a lawsuit this week.

“MassDEP approved the expansion of the Landfill despite the fact that Wheelabrator does not have a valid site assignment for the Landfill,” the Conservation Law Foundation Inc. (CLF), alleged in its complaint filed Wednesday in Suffolk Superior Court.

“MassDEP’s Final Decision was based on an error of law, in excess of the statutory authority or jurisdiction of the agency, made upon unlawful procedure, unsupported by substantial evidence, and arbitrary or capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with the law …

Further, MassDEP’s Final Decision violates state laws and regulations governing the disposal of solid waste …,” the complaint continues.

The CLF lawsuit seeks to appeal last month’s decision by MassDEP granting Wheelabrator’s request for a permit to increase the ash landfill at the site of its trash-to-energy incinerator on Route 107 in Saugus. MassDEP’s decision approved Wheelabrator’s plans for a major modification of its ash monofill that will provide an additional estimated 400,000 cubic yards of disposal capacity.

MassDEP approved the project despite the fact that Wheelabrator Saugus, Inc., which owns and operates the landfill, never obtained a required site assignment permit from the Saugus Board of Health, according to CLF. The Saugus Board of Health notified Wheelabrator in 2016 that it was required to apply for a new site assignment from the Town of Saugus, but Wheelabrator has failed to do so. The Saugus Board of Health is also appealing MassDEP’s approval to expand the landfill.

“The Wheelabrator landfill is the most dangerous in Massachusetts, and it is putting the health of nearby residents at risk,” said Kirstie Pecci, director of the Zero Waste Project and a Senior Fellow at CLF. “The local site assignment process ensures that the people who are directly affect-

T

ed by this expansion are heard. For that reason, state law grants the Saugus Board of Health ultimate authority over waste facilities in the town. Until the board determines whether the landfill is a potential danger to public health and safety as well as the environment, MassDEP legally cannot allow this project to move forward,” Pecci said.

Wheelabrator calls appeals “unfortunate” James Connolly, Wheelabrator’s vice president of Environmental, Health and Safety, said the appeals filed by CLF and the Board of Health are not in the best interests of Saugus residents and could hurt the town financially. “It is unfortunate that the Saugus Board of Health and the Conservation Law Foundation have indicated their intent to appeal the MassDEP’s decision allowing for the continued safe and environmentally responsible use of the monofill,” Connolly said in a written statement to The Saugus Advocate.

“The Board of Health action will be particularly detrimental to the Town of Saugus. Just last year, the town spent taxpayer dollars to unsuccessfully defend its attempt to use the zoning process to close Wheelabrator Saugus – an action the state attorney general deemed unlawful and overturned,” Connolly said.

“We remain open to a dialogue with the town about a long-term plan for Wheelabrator Saugus that will enhance our economic and environmental value to the community,” he said.

Connolly defended Wheelabrator’s environmental track record and the ash landfill expansion plans. He also defended MassDEP’s decision vigorously in his written statement. “Wheelabrator Saugus is an integral part of the state’s environmental and economic infrastructure, providing local communities with sustainable management of non-recyclable waste produced by households and businesses in the region while generating enough clean, renewable energy to power 38,000 homes,” Connolly said.

“The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) approved a permit for Wheelabrator Technologies to continue operating the Wheela-

brator Saugus monofill that is part of this energy-fromwaste process. The permit allows Wheelabrator to continue the same operations and does not change the monofill’s height, footprint or lateral measurement,” Connolly said.

“The MassDEP’s decision followed a rigorous, thorough and transparent process that lasted nearly a year, and included multiple public hearings and a comment period during which three-quarters of the 1,800 comments submitted supported Wheelabrator. The department considered all the technical issues associated with our operations, answered all public questions with thoroughness and specificity, and concluded that the monofill is safe and sound,” he said.

MassDEP issued a brief statement in which it did not rebut the CLF complaint.

“MassDEP is aware of the appeals filed by CLF and the Saugus Board of Health, and we will be fully reviewing those documents,” DEP Spokesman Ed Coletta told The Saugus Advocate.

“However, at this time, MassDEP will have no further comment on this issue,” he said.

CLF said the public process was compromised The Boston-based CLF claims to be the nation’s oldest regional environmental advocacy organization, with offices throughout New England. The nonprofit agency has been deeply involved in policy, legal and regulatory matters related to the Wheelabrator landfill in Saugus. Its members include Saugus and Revere residents.

“CLF and its members’ substantial rights are prejudiced

by MassDEP’s Final Decision because MassDEP is allowing Wheelabrator to expand the Landfill’s capacity – and thereby extend its operational life – without first obtaining a valid site assignment,” the CLF complaint alleges.

“That process would have afforded members of the public, including CLF and its members, the opportunity to raise their concerns and be heard. The Saugus Board of Health (the “Board”) would then have made a determination as to whether the operation and/or maintenance of the Landfill results in a threat to public health, safety, or the

he Revere Police Department will participate in the national “Click It or Ticket” campaign, promoting seat belt use through high-visibility increased traffic enforcement through May 28.

“Our city’s participation in this important cause will help reduce motor vehicle deaths and injuries,” said Mayor Brian Arrigo. “With the cooperation and partnership with the Highway Safety Division of the state’s Executive Office of Public Safety and Security Office of Grants and Research, the Massachusetts State Police and approximately 158 local police departments across the state, our residents and the people of Massachusetts, will be safer on the roadways as the summer driving season arrives. We hope that drivers will adopt good, safe habits regarding seat belt use.”

Revere Police Chief James

T

Guido elaborated on Mayor Arrigo’s statement: “When seat belt use drops off, we see spikes in motor vehicle deaths.

Enforcing the seat belt law means more people buckling up and as a result fewer deaths and injuries in our community. We’d rather give a motorist a warning or a citation, than have to tell their family that they were killed or hurt because they chose not to wear their belt.”

Massachusetts has one of the lowest seat belt use rates in the country at 74 percent, well below the national average of 90 percent according to the state’s annual seat belt observation study. Fifty-nine percent of the 242 people killed in motor vehicle crashes on Massachusetts roads in 2016 were

unrestrained. Seatbelts saved an estimated 115 lives in Massachusetts in 2016, according to the National Highway Traffic Administration, and an additional 45 deaths could have been prevented if seatbelt usage was at 100%.

“There’s a dangerous misconception that you don’t need a seat belt if you’re on a short trip,” said the Director of the Massachusetts Highway Safety Division, Jeff Larason. “Nothing could be further from the truth. Most crashes happen close to home. Wearing a seat belt is the single most effective way to protect yourself from other drivers’ bad decisions. We’re asking all motorists to protect themselves by wearing a seatbelt on every trip.”

SKATING CENTER

Councillors request senior center, municipal parking lots repaved

By Sara Brown ity Council Vice President Joanne McKenna wants the Rossetti-Cowan Senior Center parking lot repaved. At the May 7 City Council meeting, McKenna requested the entire parking lot get repaved, saying there are a lot of potholes, broken concrete around a manhole and uneven embankment. This makes it hard for senior citizens to walk around the area.

“I was there last week and it was horrendous,” said McKenna. “There are a lot of things wrong with the senior center.

We have to take care of our seniors.”

McKenna said there was also mold in the basement of the building. Before he passed, former City Council President Bob Haas was trying to improve the conditions at the senior center, and now McKenna is taking on that task to honor his wishes.

Ward 5 Councillor John Powers agreed the parking lot needs to be repaved. “There seems to be more potholes

C

and pits since the last time I was there,” said Powers. Powers requested that once the parking lot is repaved, more handicap parking spots be put in place to help seniors wanting to visit the senior center.

Councillor-at-Large Dan Rizzo noted that sometimes people are forced to park in the municipal lot when visiting the senior center, and that lot, too, is filled with potholes. He said both should be repaved.

Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto agreed, calling the municipal lot an “abomination.” It needs to be fully redone. I will settle for the potholes being done for now,” he said. “Hopefully, we will get some action right away.”

Powers suggested that once the municipal lot is complete new crosswalks be marked on the street for seniors crossing.

“They shouldn’t be worried about cars flying up and down the street,” he said.

The council made an amendment to the motion that the municipal lot should also get repaved. The motion was sent to the mayor’s desk.

Recently, members of the Revere Beautification Committee (RBC) donated books to the libraries. The RBC admires the effort to get these installed, and loves the concept of reusing and sharing books for children and adults.

State disputes site assignment issue The townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Health has threatened for nearly two years that it would file a lawsuit against the state â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if necessary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to assert its right to demand that Wheelabrator file for a new site assignment.

In fact, the board has held several executive sessions to discuss possible lawsuits over that issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Board of Health will be sending to Wheelabrator and the DEP a letter requesting them to file for a new site assignment,â&#x20AC;? Board of Health Chair William Heffernan told The Saugus Advocate after emerging from an executive session in June of 2016.

But state environmental officials have said Wheelabratorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project first came to light that Board of Health review wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary.

After reviewing oral and written testimony from several hundred people, the Executive Office of Environ-

mental Affairs (EEA) ruled in August 2016 that the company wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be required to have an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). EEA Assistant Secretary Deirdre Buckley also advised in the 14-page certificate issued under the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe a review by the Board of Health was necessary.

She noted that a majority of comments received requested that she require Wheelabrator to â&#x20AC;&#x153;obtain a modification to the existing Site Assignment from the Board of Health to provide additional opportunity for public review and input.â&#x20AC;?

John Dolan will assume the position of head of school at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School on June 1, while David Angeramo will start as associate head of school on July 1, according to board of trustees chair William Mosakowski.

Mary Delaney, who has been serving as interim head of school since December, will leave St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on May 31. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The entire St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community will be forever grateful to Mary for her expertise, time and commitment during this transition,â&#x20AC;? Mosakowski said.

James Ridley, who has been interim principal since 2015, will leave on June 30. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jim is a well-respected educator who has been a stabilizing influence from the day he arrived at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? Mosakowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will remain indebted to Jim for his service during his three years of leadership.â&#x20AC;?

Both Delaney and Ridley will be available to the new leadership on a consulting basis through the summer.

As head of school, Dolan will primarily focus on enrollment, strategic planning and advancement.

Meet the 2018 RHS Patriots Girls Varsity Softball Team

Ciccarello looks for Lady Pats softball team to get back to “small ball”

By Julian Cardillo he Revere softball team will head back to the drawing board after falling, 14-2, to Gloucester on Wednesday night. Revere struggled to get their bats going and succumbed with their pitching and defense to a strong and veteran Northeastern Conference powerhouse.

“I’m not even mad because they’re just a better team,” said Patriots coach Joe Ciccarello of the Fishermen. “They basically hit the ball a lot, and they hit the ball where we weren’t in the field.”

Revere’s lone runs came off the bat of Eve Lescovitz.

She recorded an RBI double to score two runs in the fourth inning and temporarily halt the bleeding. Ciccarello praised Lescovitz for her hot bat, but lamented

his team’s inability to play string hits together.

“Obviously they were the better team, but I felt there were times at the beginning of the game where we could have scored runs and we didn’t,” said Ciccarello.

“We ran into some big outs, and it wasn’t just our younger players, it was our older players, too … Earlier in the season we were jumping on teams early and playing small ball. We just didn’t do that against Gloucester and we need to get back to that.”

The Patriots are now 8-3 on the season and are scheduled to play Cambridge on Saturday afternoon.

“At 8-3, our record is still good, but we want to get back to it,” said Ciccarello. “We want to get back to doing the little things right, playing small ball and fielding properly.”

Pope John XXIII High School announces Class of 1988 alumnus as Athletic Director PJHS Head of School Carl DiMaiti announced on Tuesday, May 8, that Paul Sobolewski (’88) would be returning to Pope John as the athletic director and head football coach. Coach Sobolewski will be returning to Pope John after a 12-year hiatus, having coached from 20032005 for the Tigers. He will replace Ryan Murphy, who has accepted the position as Director of Athletics with the Raiders of Watertown, on July 1.

A native Revere resident, Sobolewski has built a solid coaching career and resume in Massachusetts high school football. He has also had the privilege of coaching basketball, baseball and track & field since graduating in 1988. Having played football himself at Pope John from 1984-88, he was a member of the 1987 Catholic Central League (CCL), Small Division championship team. After graduation, Sobolewski went on to play

two seasons at Merrimack College before finishing his degree at Western New England University.

From 2003-2005, Sobolewski led the PJHS Tigers to a 19-13 record – the 2005 team finishing the season with a 9-2 record. This was one of the most explosive offenses in school history, amassing nearly 400 points.

That team was home to PJHS Athletic Hall of Fame members Anthony Nalen (head football coach at Sau-

gus High School), Peter Giannikopoulos and Brian Benson.

In 2006, Paul took the reins for the Winchester High School football team and led the Sachems to a 32-24 record with three consecutive Thanksgiving rivalry victories over Woburn. The 2009 team recorded it best record since 1990, and in his five seasons with the club, he sent more than 20 playPaul Sobolewski

Children’s Author Nila Webster visits the Hill Elementary School

Mystic Valley ranked third-best high school in Massachusetts by U.S. News & World Report he Mystic Valley Regional Charter School was ranked as the third-best high school in Massachusetts by U.S. News & World Report in its 2018 ranking of United States high schools. The rankings include data on more than 20,500 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Massachusetts was ranked as the state with the best high schools in the United States.

Mystic Valley ’s thirdplace ranking is the highest in school history and was only behind Boston Latin School and the Advanced Math & Science Academy Charter School in Marlborough, a magnet school for students primarily interested in math and science. No other high school in any of Mystic Valley’s sending districts cracked the top 50 in Massachusetts.

The rankings are determined through a four-step process. First was a finding that students exceeded expectations in the state. Second was whether underserved students performed better than the state average. Mystic Valley’s underserved students performed 22.7% better than the state average. Third was whether student graduation rates met a threshold of 80%.

Revere children’s author, Nila Webster, visited the Hill school to meet with the third grade students on Thursday, May 3rd.

Ms. Webster also gifted each student with her book, “Conversations with My Imagination.” Ms. Webster has been donating books to the Hill School students for the past six years and they are truly grateful for her overwhelming generosity.

Mystic Valley was ranked as the 193 rd best public high school in the entire United States, the 66th best charter school in the country and the fifth-best public high school of any kind in New England! Mystic Valley’s outstanding performance earned it U.S. News & World Report’s Gold Star.

Alex Dan, Mystic Valley’s superintendent/school director, was very happy to receive the news and said: “I would like to congratulate all members of the Mystic Valley community, including students, parents, teachers, and board members, on this landmark result. It is representative of the school’s ongoing commitment to academic excellence in core, foundational areas of subject matter, and to achieving its mission and core philosophy without veering into unproven trends in teaching and learning.

to assist those in our community that are in need of our help. If it were not for their donations, we would not be able to serve those who come to us, at the same level which we now provide.

Sincerely, St. Vincent de Paul Society St. Mary of the Assumption Parish Andrew Iovanna, President

tirelessly to promote inclusion, awareness, and justice for all Denison students. With those same ends in mind, you worked in Newark at Wilson Middle School on an Awareness Campaign for the Humane Society, tutored students at the ProTeen Center as well as at Pataskala Elementary with Project More, and even went on to be a Servant Leader Intern for Children's Defense Fund Freedom School in Newark. Be-

cause of your keen interest in teaching, you’ve challenged yourself to participate consistently as a gym instructor and dance teacher from the children at Welsh Hills School to the senior citizens of the Kendal Retirement Community.

We hate to let you go, Jenn, but we know there are many others out in our world who need someone to show up and mother them and motivate them and lead them, and Denison is proud to send you

forth to do just that."

Beacon Hill Roll Call

By Bob Katzen

THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local senators’ votes on roll calls from the week of April 30-May 4. There were no roll calls in the House last week.

FORMER SENATE PRESIDENT STAN ROSENBERG RESIGNS – Former Senate President Stan Rosenberg of Amherst resigned from the Senate last week following the release of a report by the Ethics Committee that found Rosenberg violated the Senate’s IT policy by sharing his confidential computer password which gave his husband Byron Hefner, unfettered access to Rosenberg’s Senate e-mail account. The report also found that Hefner had abused that access and sent messages under Rosenberg’s name.

Hogan Lovells is the law firm hired by the Ethics Committee to conduct the probe and issue a report to the committee.

The report also revealed that Rosenberg knew or should have known that Hefner racially and sexually harassed Senate employees and failed to address the issue adequately.

Investigators found that Rosenberg did not violate any Senate rules but demonstrated a “significant failure of judgment and leadership” which led to “failures that undermined the integrity of the Senate and had destructive consequences for the body

and the people with business before it.”

On March 29, a grand jury indicted Hefner on felony charges connected with five sexual assaults and criminal lewdness.

Calls for Rosenberg’s resignation were quick.

“The Senate’s ethics report reveals a deeply disturbing pattern of behavior, making it clear that Sen. Rosenberg has compromised the business of the chamber and trust of his constituents,” said Gov. Charlie Baker. “For the good of the institution and those who elected him to serve, I believe the senator needs to resign immediately. My thoughts remain with the victims and I commend them for their bravery.”

“Because Senator Rosenberg allowed a destructive pattern of behavior to continue over the course of many years, violating the trust that my colleagues and I invested in him, it is my firm belief that he should resign,” said Ways and Means Chair Karen Spilka (D-Ashland). “Doing so will move us towards our goal of healing the Senate and making it a safe, welcoming and productive place for everyone.”

On Thursday, Rosenberg released a lengthy statement that included his resignation from the Senate. Here is the statement in its entirety: “As I have stated repeatedly over the last 5 months, I deeply regret the difficulties that this situation has created for the members, the staff and the institution of the Senate.

In its report, Hogan Lovells found no conduct by me that violated Senate rules or state ethics law, no evidence that

Bryon influenced my actions as Senate president, and no knowledge on my part of any alleged sexual advances, assaults or attempts by Bryon to influence other senators or staff.

The report does, however, summarize statements from witnesses alleging that Bryon engaged in actions that harmed them and others, and it finds fault with my not having done more to control Bryon’s access to information and to the people who worked in and around the Senate.

Although, as the report notes, I was unaware of many of the events attributed to Bryon and took steps to address those incidents that came to my attention, that does not diminish my sorrow at what reportedly transpired or my sense of responsibility for what the Ethics Committee concludes was a failure on my part in not doing more to protect the Senate.

I have devoted nearly forty years of my life to public service with over 25 years in the Senate, motivated always by the best interests of that body and my constituents.

To the extent my efforts fell short, and most especially to all who have been affected by the events described in the Hogan Lovells report, I convey my sincere apology.

I had hoped that, with the conclusion of the investigation, I would be able to focus, once again, on representing my constituents and contributing meaningfully to the work of the Senate.

In light, however, of the disciplinary measures recommended by the Ethics Committee, it would not be fair to my constituents to have a

representative in the Senate who lacked the authority to represent their interests fully. I have resigned from my position as State Senator for the Hampshire Franklin and Worcester District effective Friday May 4, 2018 at 5 pm.”

SENATE ACCEPTS ROSENBERG’S RESIGNATION AND APOLOGIZES (S 2511) Senate 37-0, approved resolutions accepting Sen. Rosenberg’s resignation and telling the victims and others whose lives were affected by this incident that the Senate is sorry and must do better.

The Senate also pledged “to work diligently and swiftly to fortify the Senate’s systems for preventing and intervening in harassment in all its forms and [promising] that the staff and all those who walk through the Statehouse doors must be able to work in confidence that these policies are lived values and not mere pieces of paper.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the resolutions).

Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes BENEFITS AND SERVICES FOR VETERANS (S 2454) Senate 37-0, approved and sent to the House a bill that would expand benefits and increase access to a range of services for veterans, activeduty military personnel and their families.

Provisions include ensuring that public workers receive paid military leave for up to 40 days if they are away from their job and can’t perform their duties; allowing cities and towns to designate a reserved parking space for veterans at city and town halls; reducing from five years to two years the residency period required for some veteran’s property tax exemptions; and increasing coverage for funeral expenses for indigent veterans from $ 2,000 to 4,000.

“This omnibus veteran’s legislation encompasses some of the very best ideas presented by my colleagues in the Legislature and the veterans of the commonwealth to assist veterans and their families with employment protections, tax exemptions, burial expenses, court programs, medical care, and also continues to recognize those who serve and who have served,” said Sen. Mike Rush (D-Boston) the sponsor of the bill and the Senate Chair of the Committee on Veterans and Federal Affairs. “We want to ensure that Massachusetts remains number one in the nation in providing for our veterans, men and women in uniform, and their families. This legis-

lation goes a long way in accomplishing this goal.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes INCREASE PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION FOR VETERAN VOLUNTEERS (S 2454) Senate 37-0, approved an amendment to a current law that allows veterans to do volunteer work in their city or town and get up to a $1,000 property tax reduction in exchange. Local cities and towns are not required to offer the volunteer program and the decision whether to opt in is up to each individual city or town.

The amendment would raise the limit of the allowable property tax reductions to 175 hours at the current minimum wage of $11 per hour. That would make the new ceiling $1,925.

Amendment supporters said this additional $925 would help many veterans and their families further reduce the cost of their property taxes and in some cases, might even prevent them from being forced out of their homes.

(A “Yes” vote is for the hike to $1,925.)

Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes FLAGS AT HALF-MAST ON SEPTEMBER 11 (S 1820) Senate 37-0, approved a bill that would require that flags be flown at half-staff each September 11 in honor of the brave Americans who perished in the terrorist attack.

Supporters said this tribute will ensure that the first responders and civilians who died will never be forgotten.

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of

Joseph D. Cataldo â&#x20AC;&#x153;YOUR FINANCIAL FOCUSâ&#x20AC;?

Fiduciary Breach Of Duty And Masshealthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attack On Irrevocable Trust

n a May 1, 2018 Board of Hearing decision, the nursing home applicant prevailed in its appeal on a MassHealth denial of longterm care nursing home benefits. There were several legal issues that MassHealth raised as part of its denial.

The hearing officer agreed with the nursing home appellant/applicant on all issues argued. There were provisions in an irrevocable trust that MassHealth (as usual) attacked.

One issue of significance importance was the fact that the Trustee of the applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-settled irrevocable trust had accessed trust principal and made regular payments to the assisted living facility prior to the applicant transitioning to a nursing home. The total amount of principal withdrawals from the Trust approximated $100,000.

The hearing officer answered the question as to whether or not such payments to the assisted living facility met the â&#x20AC;&#x153;any circumstancesâ&#x20AC;? clause of 130 Code of Massachusetts Regulations 520.023(C)(1) (a), meaning, pursuant to the terms of the Trust, can

I

principal be accessed under any circumstances for the benefit of the Settlor/ Nursing home applicant?

The hearing officer did not see that there was any evidence of collusion between the Trustee and the applicant and went on to say that the Trustee breached his fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the Trust in alienating them from a portion of the principal in violation of the provisions of the Trust itself.

He stated that MassHealth did not present any federal or state court ruling, statute, regulation or even a formal policy which would equate a Trusteeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past breach of fiduciary duty to mean that principal â&#x20AC;&#x153;could be paid under any circumstancesâ&#x20AC;?. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;under any circumstancesâ&#x20AC;? test pertains to the provisions of the Trust instrument, and in the case at hand, there is no such provision that would result in the principal being available to the Settlor/applicant.

The hearing officer ruled that the Trust principal should not have been deemed a countable asset. This is an extremely important hearing decision.

Hopefully, other hearing officers will follow this decision as the Trust instrument must be viewed in its entirety and must be read as a whole. The terms of the Trust itself are what counts, not necessarily the acts of a Trustee in breach of his or her fiduciary duties to the remainder beneficiaries.

The fight continues.

What You Need to Know About Reverse Mortgages Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about reverse mortgages for retirees?

My wife and I are contemplating getting one but want to make sure we know what we’re getting into.

Running Short Dear Running, For retirees who own their home and want to stay living there, but could use some extra cash, a reverse mortgage is a viable financial tool, but there’s a lot to know and consider to be sure it’s a good option for you.

Let’s start with the basics.

A reverse mortgage is a unique type of loan that allows older homeowners to borrow money against the equity in their house (or condo) that doesn’t have to be repaid until the homeowner dies, sells the house or moves out for at least 12 months. At that point, you or your heirs will have to pay back the loan plus accrued interest and fees, but you will never owe more than the value of your home.

It’s also important to understand that with a reverse mortgage, you, not the bank, own the house, so you’re still required to pay your property taxes and homeowners insurance. Not paying them can result in foreclosure.

To be eligible, you must be 62 years of age or older, own your own home (or owe only a small balance) and currently be living there.

You will also need to undergo a financial assessment to determine whether you can afford to continue paying your property taxes and insurance. Depending on your financial situation, you may be required to put part of your loan into an escrow account to pay future bills. If the financial assessment finds that you cannot pay your insurance and taxes and have enough cash left to live on, you’ll be denied.

Loan Details Around 95 percent of all reverse mortgages offered today are Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM), which are FHA insured and offered through private mortgage lenders and banks. HECM’s also have home value limits that vary by county, but cannot exceed $679,650.

How much you can actually get through a reverse mortgage depends on your age (the older you are the more you can get), your home’s value and the prevailing interest rates.

Generally, most people can borrow somewhere between 50 and 65 percent of the home’s value. To estimate how much you can borrow, use the reverse mortgage calculator at ReverseMortgage.org.

You also need to know that reverse mortgages have recently become more expensive with a number of fees, including: a 2 percent lender origination fee for the first $200,000 of the home’s value and 1 percent of the remaining value, with a cap of $6,000; an upfront 2 percent mortgage insurance premium (MIP) fee on the maximum loan amount, plus an annual MIP fee that’s equal to 0.5 percent of the outstanding loan balance; along with an appraisal fee, closing costs and other miscellaneous expenses. Most fees can be deducted for the loan amount to reduce your outof-pocket cost at closing.

To receive your money, you can opt for a lump sum, a line of credit, regular monthly checks or a combination of these.

More Information To learn more, read the National Council on Aging’s online booklet “Use Your Home to Stay at Home” at NCOA.org/ home-equity. And see the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association self-evaluation checklist at ReverseMortgage. org/consumerguides.

Also note that because reverse mortgages are complex loans, all borrowers are required to get face-to-face or telephone counseling through a HUD approved independent counseling agency before taking one out. Most agencies typically charge around $125. To locate one near you, visit Go.usa.gov/v2H, or call 800-569-4287.
