Housing Families presents this year’s legislative agenda

By Barbara Taormina alden had a chance to learn the latest about the state’s housing crisis and some of the proposed solutions this week at Housing Families Inc.’s 16th annual Legislative Breakfast. A crowd of residents, advocates and political leaders gathered at the Irish American Club Wednesday morning to hear the personal stories of families who have struggled with homelessness and to share information about ongoing legislative efforts to ensure all families have a safe and secure home.

Homelessness isn’t new, but much has changed since a grassroots group from Malden, Medford and Everett launched Housing Families in 1986 and opened the first shelter for local families the following year. Housing Families has grown into a regional program with a comprehensive approach to assisting an estimated 13,170 people in families with children throughout the state who are homeless or at-risk of losing their homes.

M

Although figures and statistics on homelessness and affordable housing are disheartening, Mayor Gary Christenson brought some good news to the breakfast. Christenson said the city has welcomed Habitat for Humanity to Malden to build two single-family homes and a six-unit townhouse project on Main Street.

Christenson also said the city will increase its housing assistance program by $30,000 and that local officials have been working with the state delegation to have every homeless family placed at the Town Line Inn Motel relocated to permanent housing. “It’s your concern for others that has truly made a difference,� Christenson told Housing Families staff, volunteers and supporters.

While there are housing successes worth celebrating, most of the talk at the breakfast focused on broader solutions to fight homelessness that are tied to the state’s 2019 budget. “We are at a tipping point and everybody is talking about the housing crisis,� said

State Senator Jason Lewis, who added that the Senate would pass the $1.8 billion Housing Bond Bill that will reauthorize bond programs to create, expand and protect

affordable housing and support services. “Housing should be a basic human right,� said Lewis, who also highlighted the need for a higher minimum wage, paid

family and medical leave and the Fair Share Amendment that would increase state taxes by four percent for those

alden has joined a growing list of Massachusetts cities and towns that are suing major pharmaceutical companies for their role in the ongoing opioid epidemic. Richard Sandman, an attorney with the Malden-based law firm Rodman, Rodman & Sandman, met with the City Council this week to explain the lawsuit, which is seeking to recover money the city has spent responding to opioid-related problems and issues. Malden has signed onto

the suit on a contingency basis and will only pay legal feels if the suit is successful.

Sandman and his firm are part of a group of local and national law firms working to hold the pharmaceutical industry accountable for the opioid crisis. “We want to take on the pharmaceutical companies and distributors,� Sandman told the councillors. “This industry created this epidemic.� Sandman said drug distributors have flooded the market with opioids and that companies have failed to report suspiciously large numbers of

prescriptions in specific areas, which they are required to do under both state and federal law.

Last year, McKesson, the largest pharmaceutical distributor in the United States, was fined $150 million for failing to report suspicious drug orders.

Cardinal Health, another major drug distributor, was fined $44 million for its failure to report suspicious increases in opioid prescriptions.

Sandman said that Malden, like other communities, may be able to recover the cost of Police and Fire Department

time spent responding to opioid-related calls as well as the money spent on emergency medical services and Narcan. Communities may also be awarded money for education, prevention and treatment to deal with potential future damages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are in good company,â&#x20AC;? said Sandman, adding that his firm also represent Woburn, Everett, Revere and Chelsea in the lawsuit. All municipalities that have joined the lawsuit are working to identify the dollar amount of the damages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our cases are being filed in federal court, which is the right place to be for a national solution to this problem,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Councillors had no objections to the decision to have the city join the lawsuit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The opioid epidemic has been a lightning bolt throughout our community,â&#x20AC;? said Ward 6 Councillor David Camell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to fight this every way we can.â&#x20AC;?

a moratorium on the building of all new multi-unit housing developments throughout the City. After four public meetings throughout the spring, including two before the Malden Planning Board in which successive papers were rejected by that body, the City Council voted to allow the Citizens to vote on a moratorium, to halt all multi-unit housing

developments throughout the City that had not yet been approved or did not lie in previously approved Residential Incentive zones. It was a compromise from the first paper. During those public meetings in which the Council was asked what would be the purpose of a moratorium, a presentation was made – approved by the City Council Ordinance Committee and Council – which contained five questions outlining the objectives of a moratorium. The questions were as follows: 1. What should be our population maximum?

2. What should be the maximum density of housing?

3. How much open space should there be per person?

4. How will we fund additional police, fire, DPW, and general city services going forward?

5. What about education – do the taxes generated actually pay enough for students?

In November of 2015, with a total of 6,054 ballots cast, the Citizens voted and delivered a landslide in favor of the Moratorium, 68% in favor, 20% opposed, and 12% blanks. During the same election, there were two other questions put on the ballot after the moratorium question. The first asked whether Malden should adopt the “Community Preservation Act”, which would tax each property owner an additional 1% on their real estate tax bill annually to fund Open Space Acquisition, Historical Preservation, and/or Affordable

Housing. The second question – should the City acquire the Malden Hospital site. The CPA question passed with 55.6 % in favor and 35% opposed, still a large plurality, while the question regarding the Acquisition of the Malden Hospital site passed with 71% in favor and only 22% opposed, marking a huge landslide. The latter two ballot questions clearly answered one of the questions the City Council had said it was seeking an answer to, namely, “How much open space should there be per person?”The Vote on the Preservation Act, along with the Vote on the Acquisition of the Hospital site, signaled clearly that “we the citizens” wanted more open space per person, not less, and that the Malden Hospital site in particular should unquestionably be purchased by the city and not developed for housing.

In fact, the Campaign for the CPA question cleverly linked it to the Moratorium and Hospital Acquisition directly with a slogan of “Vote Yes Questions 1, 2, 3.”

Shortly after the election, the City Council voted to pass the moratorium for one year.

The moratorium went into effect on January 1, 2016 and was eventually extended due to delays in the study, relating both to funding issues and the length of time it took to do the study on the issue, until December 31, 2017.

Oteri opts to replace Linden School principal

By Barbara Taormina amilies with students at Linden STEAM Academy were surprised to learn this week that Principal Richard Bransfield will not be back in September. “It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that after 35 years in Malden, 15 as an administrator, Superintendent Oteri has decided to not renew my contract here in Malden, and as of June 30th, I will no longer be your principal,” Bransfield wrote in a letter to staff and colleagues this week.

Bransfield did not offer any explanations about the decision not to renew his contract, and Oteri is not able to publicly discuss any personnel decisions. And that has left many current and former students and parents with questions about the change in Linden’s administration.

For many parents who have known Bransfield throughout his career, the decision to let him go made no sense.

Bransfield taught at Beebe Elementary School before becoming an assistant principal there in 2006. He has served as the principal of Linden

F

since 2012.

Former substitute teacher Diane Ignacio, who knows Bransfield from his days at Beebe, said the decision not to renew his contract is a loss for Malden schools. “He is wonderful,” she said. “He always worked hard for the kids.” Ignacio recalled how Bransfield was always outside with the kids at Beebe, making sure that everyone was behaving and that there was no bullying in the schoolyard.

“He was strict, but he really cared,” she said. “He only did good for the school.”

Ward 8 Councillor Jadeane Sica, who served as Linden’s PTO president for 11 years, said the school will not be the same without Bransfield.

“In my opinion, Mr. Bransfield has gone above and beyond for the students of Malden over the past 35 years,” said Sica. “Based on my experiences with him at Linden, I saw him to be an outstanding leader and educator who was reasonable and fair. He was an exceptional listener who had a great ability to solve problems.”

Like others, Sica was surprised by the decision partic-

ularly because of Bransfield’s role in establishing Linden as the city’s first Innovation School with a focus on science, technology engineering, arts and math. “It was because of his dedication and persistence that Linden was able to become Malden’s first Innovation School which has continued to flourish,” said Sica, adding that Bransfield’s willingness to collaborate with teachers, staff, parents and students helped make Linden an amazing learning environment.

“I, for one, am glad my children got to look up to him and experience his leadership during their elementary years,” said Sica.

Some parents have vowed to write letters supporting Bransfield to Oteri and School Committee Chairman Mayor Gary Christenson. But others feel that Oteri made a personnel decision that he felt was in the best interest of the district.

In addition to finding a new principal for Linden, the school district is also searching for candidates to serve ae

Participants in last fall’s C i t i z e n Ly c e u m o n t h e Constitution at the Malden Public Library

alden Reads will present a Citizen Lyceum at the Malden Public Library on Tuesday, April 3, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The topic for this learning opportunity will be the Bill of Rights. This is an event that had been postponed due to a snowstorm.

The “One City, One Book” program is looking to expand learning around the democracy we live in and opportunities to become engaged citizens through civic and civil dialogue. Earlier this fall, Malden Reads held a Citizen Lyceum focused on the Constitution.

Many diverse organizations are cosponsoring this event: the Malden Public Library, Chinese Culture Connection (CCC), the Malden Community Organizing for Racial Equity (CORE), and the American Association of Arab Women (AAAW). Roger Desrosiers from the Massachusetts Center for Civic Education will be the guest speaker and will lead discussions with participants about important issues today that relate to the Bill of Rights. There will be opportunities for participants to discuss the essential features from the initial explanation of the principles and values embedded in the Bill of Rights.

The Citizen Lyceum is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

PRINCIPAL | FROM PAGE 3 the principals of Malden High School and Beebe Elementary School.

[Editor’s note: Bransfield announced the decision not to renew his contract in the following email, which was sent to Linden teachers and staff this week.]

Dear Staff and Colleagues: It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that after 35 years in Malden, 15 as an administrator, Superintendent Oteri has decided to not renew my contract here in Malden and as of June 30th I will no longer be your principal. Malden has meant the world to me and I have dedicated a career to the students, families and the district as a whole but as you know Linden has always been my home. From teacher to coach to Golden Tornado Club president to assistant principal and principal, I have had the luxury of working with some of the finest educators and administrators anyone could wish for.

I had the pleasure of working for five superintendents … Dr Holland who was the consummate gentleman and mentor, Joan Connelly who told me that someday I would be a principal here, Sid Smith who taught me so much about curriculum, working in our “grit group” together showing inner city kids that life can change if you want it, Dave DeRuosi who helped and urged me to open the city’s first and only innovation school with open dialogue and relationship building and him always there when you needed an ear to listen and finally Dr. Grandson who always believed in LSA and how kids engaged in learning was the cornerstone for high academic achievement. It has been quite a ride and there are so many of you that I learned from across the district the list would be endless.

Finally … the Linden STEAM Academy family has been my

home for the last 7 years. You have done amazing work, twice in my tenure succeeding as a Level 1 school and most importantly always getting kids to achieve, especially our students on IEP’s that showed a 10% improvement on high takes state testing the last few years. Linden, as you know, is THE place to educate your kids in Malden! You all are the epitome of teachers that can “coach students” to love learning and achieve … you have given students life through literacy and will surely make all who enter your doors “learners for life”.

To the Pathways group … our program has done so much in shaping and changing the lives of young people … I marvel at your expertise and am proud to have been able to be your leader; the city should be especially proud and thankful of the students you keep in district giving

them hope and a future.

As I have said before … and now it applies to me “we are on to Cincinnati” … Your professional lives will go on and the students in Malden will be lucky to have you. It would only be fitting that I leave you with a quote; Colin Powell once said, “Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care.

Either case is a failure of leadership”. I hope you know how much I cared about all of you and the students and families that came through our doors … your job is important … you can make a difference in someone’s life, don’t take that power for granted!

MORATORIUM | FROM PAGE 2 the then City Council President Barbara Murphy assigned me to the task of leading the AdHoc Moratorium Committee.

The Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tasks were to hire an outside independent Consultant to do a Growth Management Study, conduct citywide forums with the residents for feedback, and to conduct a survey put together with the Consultant. This survey would ask the citizens for their input to key questions with the intent to answer the five questions which we had promised would be answered and which would provide us a direction for the future of the City based upon the direct feedback from the citizens. The Growth Management Study, meanwhile, was to provide general information and an understanding of what was actually happening in our City in terms of growth in population, housing, students and

its impact along with formulas on how best to ensure Maldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial viability going forward.

The study, the forums, and the survey, the largest ever conducted within Malden, involved the input of over 2,000 residents, fully a third who had voted in 2015, and could not have provided a more clear vision of what the citi-

zens wanted. They demanded simply that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population stop growing as the city is dense enough (86%), that multi-unit apartment complexes with more than twenty units in them stop being built (over 70%), and that multi-unit housing complexes more than three stories high outside of downtown, none exceeding six stories in the Central Busi-

ness District, stop being built as well (76%). The study made it crystal clear that if we are to find our way to financial viability in the future, our sole focus must be on Commercial Development and the halting of housing development. The only housing development the majority of Citizens supported was senior housing and assisted living housing, and no-

where did anybody state it should be above six stories.

Since December, the City Council, not in its entirety, has proceeded down a path which ignores the study, the forums, the survey, and the votes of the citizens in November 2015. If you value your public safety, your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education, the maintenance of this cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure, and your property values long term, bear in mind that your will, expressed in all of your feedback during the moratorium, should not and must not be ignored if any trust is to be maintained in our local government. If it is ignored it will be akin to stealing from the homeowners and putting their home equity in outside Developersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hands.

Next week: What the Growth Management Study informed us about Maldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current financial struggles and the path to future financial health for our city.

Thaiger, ‘crying tiger’ refers to a traditional dish from rural northeastern Thailand, made with tender beef brisket and seasoned with a tangy, aromatic sauce. Folk legends variously attribute the dish’s origin to a woebegone tiger with eyes bigger than its stomach, or to the oil that dripped from grilling brisket like the hot tears of a tiger, or to the eyewatering heat of its sauce.”

Malden celebrates Community Development Week s communities across the nation celebrate National Community Development Week, April 2-6, the City of Malden is preparing another year of projects financed by the federally funded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Mayor Gary Christenson is expected to present the CDBG budget to the City Council on April 3. While in recent years there have been significant cuts made by Congress, the approximately $1.2 million that Malden receives continues to have a positive impact on Malden residents.

This year marks the 44th anniversary of the CDBG program, which provides grants to more than 1,200 local governments to improve physical, economic and social conditions in communities. Every $1 of CDBG leverages almost $3 in other funds, which bring additional vital resources to communities. A companion housing program, the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), now in its 27th year, provides grants to more than 600 participating jurisdictions to create safe and affordable housing. Every $1 of HOME funding leverages an additional $4 in other funding. Both programs are managed by the Malden Redevelopment Authority (MRA).

“Community Development Week gives us the opportunity to showcase services provided by the City and MRA that help improve the quality of life for our residents. Through this recognition, we hope to reach even more people who may not realize the number of lives greatly enhanced with Community Development funding,” said May-

“The programs and organizations we fund help improve lives, empower people to rebuild their

neighborhoods, advance the City’s affordable housing stock and leverage private investment. In recent years there have been significant cuts and threats to these valuable programs, and our goal this week is to showcase the impact of these programs in our community,” said

MRA Executive Director Deborah Burke.

CDBG and HOME funds have been used to invest and respond to current and emerging community development needs in home rehabilitation, youth programs, lead paint abatement, senior services, food banks, vi-

tal street improvements, affordable housing, and employment training. These funds have served seniors, the homeless, veterans, first-time homebuyers, at-risk youth, business owners, disabled persons and working families and have reduced childhood lead poisoning.

Committee explores state regulations for Malden River walkway

By Barbara Taormina he city is learning how best to use state laws that govern shorelines and waterways to develop a waterfront walk that will provide public access to the Malden River. Chapter 91 is a state licensing program that regulates waterfront development and protects the public’s guaranteed right to access and use waterways and tidelands. This week the City Council’s Waterfront Access Committee Chair, Barbara Murphy, invited Boston Harbor Now’s Director of Waterfront Policy, Jill Valdes Horwood, to a meeting to discuss ways Chapter 91 can be used to move the Malden River walkway project forward. A nonprofit organization that promotes public access to the waterfront, Boston Harbor Now has been working for decades to reclaim and restore Boston’s coast and harbor.

Valdes Horwood said she often tells developers that waterfront property comes with strings attached. Non-waterrelated projects, such as restaurants, residential housing and commercial buildings, must include, at minimum, a 12-foot wide public walkway along waterfront. But Valdes Horwood stressed that shorelines and tidelands are public resources and stakeholders can and should push for more than the minimum requirements when developers apply for a Chapter 91 license to build on waterfront land.

“You really want to maximize the public benefits of your riverfront,” she told committee members. “You really want to advocate for your community and know that you have this wonderful law to back you up.”

Valdes Horwood said the best time to negotiate more public space and amenities, such as benches and lights, is during the planning and permitting phase of a waterfront development. Proposals for buildings that exceed Chapter 91 height and dimensional restrictions give communities that chance to trade for more benefits and public access to the water. “You can say to developers that you have to give us enough to offset the fact that we’re giving you public land for private use,” she said.

She warned committee members that property owners often resist requests to expand public access to the waterfront. The idea that

T

the public has a right to access and use a stretch of private property can be difficult for developers to accept. But Valdes Horwood repeatedly stressed that public access is a guaranteed right rooted in a Colonial-era concept that no one can own the water, air or shore. She urged committee members to promote the idea of a “living shoreline” that is a community asset that enhances a private development.

Although it is more complicated to claim Chapter 91 access rights with existing waterfront buildings, Valdes Hor-

wood said there are some options. Every waterfront property that has a Chapter 91 license is also required to have a management plan for public access and pathways that has been approved by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. Valdes Horwood said most waterfront property owners don’t have management plans, and many may not even know they are required. Communities can offer to help develop those management plans and use the opportunity to advocate for more public space and benefits.

The bill incorporates projectbased learning components, encourages the instruction of civic competencies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including news and media literacy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and provides extracurricular civic participation opportunities.

Senator Lewis noted that he had been urged to support this bill by young people across the partisan spectrum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Members of both Young Democrats and Young Republicans chapters in our region encouraged me to support this bill because our youth are increasingly civically engaged and are eager to contribute as citizens,â&#x20AC;? said Senator Lewis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen young people across the country take leadership roles in issue debates and other opportunities for community engagement.

Beacon Hill Roll Call

By Bob Katzen THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local senators’ and representatives’ votes on roll calls from the week of March 19-23.

REGULATION AND TAXING OF SHORT-TERM RENTALS (H 4314) House 118-30, approved and sent to the Senate a bill regulating and taxing shortterm rentals of less than 28 days that are offered by Airbnb, HomeAway and VRBO. Taxes would range from 4 percent to 8 percent based on how many units a host offers. No excise would be imposed if the total amount of rent is less than $15 per day or if the renter is in the United States military traveling on official military business.

Residential hosts renting two or fewer units would be taxed at 4 percent, investor hosts with three to five units would have a 5.7 percent tax, and professionally managed hosts renting six or more units would face an 8 percent tax per rental. All professionally managed hosts would be required to hire a property manager for each residential unit and maintain $1 million or more in liability insurance.

Cities and towns would also have the option to impose local excise taxes of up to 5

percent for residential hosts, 6 percent for investors and 10 percent for professionally managed hosts.

Cities and towns that impose the local excise tax are required to conduct a safety inspection on the residential unit within 60 days of the unit being listed on a newly-created short-term rental registry.

Municipalities are required to distribute 50 per cent of the excise tax collected by professionally managed hosts to programs addressing either local infrastructure needs or low- to moderate-income housing programs.

Supporters said the bill strikes a balance and levels the playing field of taxes and regulation of these untaxed and unregulated short-term rentals and hotels and motels that are currently regulated and taxed.

“The House took a thoughtful and holistic approach to regulating short term rentals,” said House Speaker Bob DeLeo. “For the first time in Massachusetts, we go beyond taxation and implement a necessary regulatory framework to ensure public safety and accountability Opponents said the last thing Massachusetts needs is another tax. “This proposal is onerous and overly bur-

New “Toys for Learning” literacy-based toy library now open he Chinese Culture Connection (CCC) and Malden Reads are pleased to partner together to announce the opening of the Toys for Learning library pilot program for families with young children.

The Toys for Learning library is held at the Beebe School as part of the Little Dragons program. The toy library will be a resource for parents of young children to learn basic skills and to encourage interaction together around lit-

eracy-based activities. Families may borrow toys for two weeks at a time before returning them to the Little Dragons program, at which time they may borrow another activity to take home.

An initial workshop was held to share procedures, and educational toys were given to the families to borrow.

Additional workshops will be held for new parents before they will be able to borrow materials. In the work-

shop, parents are encouraged to establish routines to play with the toys and teach their children how to interact with others, including taking turns, sharing and putting things away. Parents are asked to share their experience with one another.

There is no fee for participants. For more information, including upcoming dates/ hours for the program, contact Mei at meih@chinesecultureconnection.org.

densome for our host community, and the kind of legislation the hotel industry has promoted across the country to prevent middle class families from earning additional income,” said Airbnb spokeswoman Crystal Davis. “The commonwealth and its residents can only truly benefit from fair and reasonable short-term rental rules.”

(A Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.)

Rep. Paul Donato Didn’t Vote Rep. Steven Ultrino Yes

CIVICS EDUCATION (S 2355) Senate 32-4, approved and sent to the House a bill that updates the requirement that all public schools provide instruction in American history and civics.

Provisions include requiring all public-school students to participate in two student-led civics projects; making it mandatory beginning in 2021 for all students to complete one student-led civics project after 8th grade in order to graduate; permitting the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to establish an annual convention to assess the current state of civic education; and establishing a special commission to study the development of civic education for youth.

“Anyone who spends time in or follows the news from Beacon Hill or Washington knows that now more than ever before we need more people engaged in public life,” said Sen. Eileen Donoghue (D-Lowell). “The consolidated bill that passed the Senate will empower students with the knowledge they need today so they can more effectively improve our society tomorrow.”

“This bill is an important step toward fulfilling our responsibility to pass the torch of democracy to the next generation of voters and problem-solvers,” said Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz (D-Boston).

“Unfunded mandates are big issues with local governments especially those involving schools,” said Sen. Dean Tran (R-Fitchburg). “It is very unfortunate that the Senate has imposed another unfunded mandate on struggling schools across the commonwealth when we should be lessening the burden and increasing funding.”

“I understand the importance of educating students on the importance of being

civically active and engaged in our democratic process,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman (RWebster). “That being said, time and time again I hear from my constituents and school committee members about the undue financial burden of unfunded mandates on our communities.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.)

Sen. Jason Lewis Yes

T

FINANCIAL LITERACY (S 2343) Senate 37-0, approved and sent to the House a bill requiring the state to develop and allow cities and towns to institute a program to teach financial literacy to students in kindergarten to grade 12.

The topics covered would include understanding banking and financial services, loans, interest, credit cards, online commerce, renting or buying a home, balancing a checkbook, state and federal taxes and charitable giving.

Supporters said it is important to start educating children about finances at an early age and to continue through their high school years.

“Today’s youth are bombarded with a multitude of financial options and responsibilities at an increasingly young age, yet many are illequipped to make informed decisions about financial matters,” said Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton.) “By teaching children the financial education basics in school, we will help them make educated financial decisions in the future, preventing future bankruptcies, foreclosures, and unmanageable debt.

The investment we make in teaching our children financial literacy now will pay substantial future dividends.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Sen. Jason Lewis Yes

TOLERATE DIFFERING OPINIONS (S 2355) Senate 7-29, rejected an amendment that would add “respectful tolerance of differing opinions” to the list of subjects that would be included in the history and social science curriculum framework that would be taught. The framework already includes American and local history; the function and composition of the branches of local, state and federal government; the roles and responsibilities of a citizen in a democracy; community diversity and the role it plays in the democratic process; and opportunities to identify and debate issues relative to power, economic status and the common good in democracy.

Amendment supporters said that especially in today’s political climate and a divided nation, it is important to teach students to respect each other’s opinions.

Amendment opponents said respect of each other’s opinions is already covered under other existing requirements including community diversity and the role it plays in the democratic process and the roles and responsibilities of a citizen in a democracy.

(A “Yes” vote is for including respectful tolerance of differing opinions. A “No” vote is against including it.)

Sen. Jason Lewis No

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE - Friday, March 30, 2018

BEACON | FROM PAGE 16 UNFUNDED MANDATE (S 2355) Senate 7-29, rejected an amendment requiring the state to conduct a study to determine whether the new civics education law is an unfunded mandate being imposed on cities and towns.

Amendment supporters said it will cost money for the schools to implement this new law.

Amendment opponents said there are no anticipated costs to cities and towns in implementing the new law.

(A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesâ&#x20AC;? vote is for the amendment. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noâ&#x20AC;? vote is against it.)

Sen. Jason Lewis No HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.

During the week of March 19-23, the House met for a total of three hours and 44 minutes while the Senate met for a total of six hours and 15 minutes.

Mon. March 19 House 11:11 a.m. to 11:24 a.m.

Senate 11:16 a.m. to 11:46 a.m.

How to Write a Will Dear Savvy Senior, Though it may seem hard to believe, at age 65, I never have gotten around to making a will, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to now.

My question is: Do I need to hire a lawyer to write my will, or can I do it myself? I want to get my affairs in order, but I hate paying an attorney fee if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to.

Getting Organized Dear Getting, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hard to believe at all. Fewer than half of American adults have a will, mainly because they either havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thought about it or gotten around to it, or theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put it off because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to think about dying.

But having a will is important because it ensures that your money and property are distributed to the people you want to receive it after your death.

If you die without a will, your estate will be settled in accordance with state law. Details vary by state, but assets typically are distributed using a hierarchy of survivors. Assets go to first to a spouse, then to children, then your siblings, and so on.

You also need to be aware that certain accounts take precedence over a will. If you jointly own a home or a bank account, for example, the house, and the funds in the account, will go to the joint holder, even if your will directs otherwise. Similarly, retirement accounts and life insurance policies are distributed to the beneficiaries you designate, so it is important to keep them up-to-date too.

Do You Need a Lawyer?

Not necessarily. Creating a will with a do-it-yourself software program may be acceptable in some cases, particularly if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re single and have a modest bank account.

But if you have significant financial assets or a complex family situation, like a blended family or child with special needs, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to seek professional advice. An experienced law-

yer can make sure you cover all your bases, which can help avoid family confusion and squabbles after youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gone.

The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA.org) and the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC.org) websites are good resources that have directories to help you find someone in your area.

Costs will vary depending on your location and the complexity of your situation, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $200 and $1,500 to get your will made. To help you save, shop around and get price quotes from several different firms. And before you meet with an attorney, make a detailed list of your assets and accounts to help make your visit more efficient.

If money is tight, check with your stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bar association (see www.FindLegalHelp.org) to find low-cost legal help in your area. Or call the Eldercare Locater at 800-677-1116 for a referral.

If you are interested in a do-it-yourself will, one of the best options is the Quicken WillMaker Plus 2018 software (available at NOLO.com) that costs $70, works with Windows personal computers and Macs, and is valid in every state except Louisiana.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also recommend that if you do create your own will, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wise to have a lawyer review it to make sure it covers all the important bases.

Where to Store It? Once your will is written, the best place to keep it is either in a fireproof safe or file cabinet at home, or in a safe deposit box in your bank. But make sure your executor knows where it is and has access to it. Or, if a professional prepares your will, keep the original document at your lawyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Also, be sure to update your will if your family or financial circumstances change, or if you move to another state.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior. org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Savvy Seniorâ&#x20AC;? book.

EDUCATION | FROM PAGE 15 tion will further prepare our students to be civic leaders and fully participate in our democracy.â&#x20AC;?

The legislation seeks to do the following: update the requirement that all public schools provide instruction in American history and civics; require all public school students to participate in two student-led civics projects; permit the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to establish regional civics councils; permit DESE to establish an annual convention to assess the state of civics education; permit school committees to design a student outreach officer position who

shall be responsible for ensuring that a student advisory committee exists and is informed about the agenda of the school committee; require the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) to create a civics endorsement for educators demonstrating competency; establish a special commission to study the development of civic education for youths; and require the Massachusetts Secretary of State to establish the High School Voter Challenge, where each public high school will appoint a student voter outreach officer who will hold voter registration drives for eligible voters to register and pre-register to vote during High School Voter Challenge Weeks.

The curriculum is made possible by the Civics Project Trust Fund, which will provide funding for professional development and for the further development of curriculum frameworks to ensure that this measure is not an unfunded mandate to be financed out of municipal budgets.

On March 26, the House of Representatives referred the bill to the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joint Committee on Rules.

Senator Lewis is the Assistant Majority Whip in the State Senate. He also serves as the Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Public Health and the Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development.
