MyRWA adds staff to help communities prepare for extreme weather

“F

ar too often when we talk about preparing for climate change we focus on buildings and infrastructure and we leave out the people,” said Patrick Herron, the executive director of the Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA). “We are thrilled to announce that Melanie Gárate is joining our staff to help integrate public health and social resilience best practices into community preparedness efforts.”

Gárate’s position was created as part of the $1.3 million in funding MyRWA has helped secure for regional climate resilience efforts through the 16-community Resilient Mystic Collaborative. As Climate Resilience Project Manager, she will work closely with public health departments, service providers and community leaders to help municipalities identify priority actions and investments to protect people’s health, housing and ability to work during and after heat waves and big storms. As part of these efforts, she will also work with MyRWA’s Greenways Director to increase community engagement in designing waterfront parks and paths to help people stay cool in the summer and provide safe, beautiful, active transportation opportunities.

As a Veteran, I learned the principles of duty, honor and courage which to this day still impact every facet of my life. I have been very active in our community as a past member of the Everett Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, a member of the Kiwanis and a very active member of the Immaculate Conception parish, serving on the Parish Finance Council and as a Eucharistic minister.

As your City Councilor with 20 years of public service, I have worked hard to bring about comprehensive changes to City Hall, like Charter Reform and have been involved in extensive community development.

I have been a strong advocate for ensuring our education system is properly funded to give all our children an equal opportunity to succeed both academically and occupationally.

I have also worked closely with the City’s economic development which has brought thousands of jobs to Everett, raising

the standard of living for many of our residents. There are some running for office this year that criticize the progress of our community and its elected officials with no comprehension of the challenges we face on a regular basis. Now is not the time to derail or slowdown that progress with self-serving rhetoric and no true plan of action.

I am as always committed to working to move the City of Everett toward a brighter future. With knowledge and ex-

tendent search, School Committee Chairman Thomas Abruzzese vowed that the next top administrator would not come from the Everett Public Schools.

“We are going to find a superintendent who is from outside this district; any change to that will be over my dead body,” he said during the October 29 candidates forum.

Ward 3 Member Frank Parker said the search has been a “public process,” adding that survey results and input from two public forums have been taken into consideration.

When the time comes to vote for a new superintendent, Ward 1 Member Allen Panarese said, he will remain steadfast in his decision. “When I go with something, I go with it,” he said.

“I’m not going to be a flip-flop.”

Ward 4 Member David Ela said the 15-member Search Committee collectively spent more than 350 hours mulling over resumes, conducting interviews and deliberating.

Regarding diversity, Parker said greater diversification is needed in both staffing and curriculum development. “We need to celebrate culture, bring it in,” he said.

Ward 4 challenger Dana Murray spoke about her experience working with different groups of students as a teacher in the Boston Public Schools for more than 20 years. “You name it, I’ve done it all in terms of student population,” she said. “I am a teaching and learning expert.”

Abruzzese said he was sur-

Ward 4 Member David Ela

prised to hear that English Language Learners (ELL) still have needs that are not being met. “I don’t understand why services aren’t being provided; we have plenty of money,” he said.

Ward 5 Member Marcony Almeida-Barros was also taken aback, noting the recent hiring of additional staff. “We just voted to hire new teachers, where are they going? Are they going to ELL?” he asked.

Regarding the district’s high enrollment figures, Ward 6 challenger John Mavilio said 30 students in a class is “way too high.”

However, Almeida-Barros said that is the current reality. “There is no class in Everett that has 20 kids or 18 kids – all the schools are packed,” he said.

The candidates also addressed the issue of high school seniors who are unsure about their lives after graduation.

At-Large challenger Samantha Lambert said it would be beneficial to have upperclassmen enrolled in the Academy Program to help them explore career options that may not have existed 30 years ago.

“It’s a very different world right now,” she said.

In addition, At-Large challenger Daniel Skeritt said, an external community resource center should also be available to students.

At-Large challenger David Lindsey said the process needs to begin at a young age. “Preparing them for success starts in elementary school,” he said.

EHS Health Science Pathway students accepted into HPREP at Harvard Medical School

E

verett High School Health Science Pathway students were recently accepted into the highly competitive Health Professions Recruitment & Exposure Program (HPREP) at Harvard Medical School. The program’s goal is to recruit underserved and underrepresented high school students into science and medicine, and in so doing, to work towards eliminating disparities in physician and scientist training, health care treatment and health care access. HPREP consists of 10 sessions that combine interactive science lessons with oneon-one mentoring and career/ academic guidance. HPREP focuses on cultivating the skills students need to transform their passion into a career in science or medicine.

~ LETTER TO THE EDITOR ~

City raises nearly $30K on Brandon Conde Day Dear Editor: On September 26, Widmac Laterion and Jess Trejo came to my office to share the story of their friend, Brandon Conde, who had suffered a life-altering spinal cord injury which rendered him a tetraplegic.

While telling me the moving story of Brandon, I could feel the love they had for Brandon and it compelled me to help them out in any way that I could. At the time, the GoFundMe they set up for Brandon had achieved a donation total of $16,500, well-short of their $50,000 goal.

Brandon’s story stuck with me. After discussing with my staff, we came up with the idea of dedicating a day to this young man. On October 24, “Brandon Conde Day”, we asked that everyone, city-wide, wear red and donate to Brandon’s cause.

On the morning of October 24, Brandon’s GoFundMe had reached $22,000. However, the City of Everett, its employees, its students, and its residents knew how vitally important their role was in helping to achieve the goal of $50,000. During the day, over $10,000 was donated directly to the GoFundMe account. The School Department matched this, donating an additional $10,000. Following the City-sponsored Brandon Conde event at the Schiavo Club on the night of October 24, I am proud to announce that we managed to surpass the $50,000 goal! As a community, we raised close to $30,000 in one day, and words truly cannot express how proud I

MassFiscal applauds Senate’s reasonable approach to Campaign Finance Bill No tricks in bill despite Halloween release

T

he Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance released the following statement in response to the State Senate’s removal of controversial elements from a campaign finance bill passed

by House lawmakers several weeks ago. The House version of the bill included a provision that sought to strip the Republican party of their voice in the selection of the director of the Office of Campaign & Political Finance. The House legislation sought to replace the current bipartisan committee that makes the selection with one dominated by Democratic politicians and their appointees.

“Common sense and bipartisanship prevailed in the State Senate, which is in stark contrast to the approach taken by the Speaker. On both sides of the aisle, the Senators who worked on the bill should be applauded,” said Paul D.

Craney, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance.

The controversial provision seeks to replace a system in place since 1973, wherein the director of OCPF is selected by the Chair of the Republican Party, Chair of the Democratic Party, and appointees of both the Secretary of State and the Governor. A unanimous vote is currently required for appointment, guaranteeing the selection of a consensus candidate acceptable to all parties.

“If the House proposal were to be enacted, the agency’s integrity would be questioned.

When the House took the vote to move the controversial provision forward, they voted to transform the Office of Campaign and Political Finance into the ‘Democratic’ Office of Campaign and Political Finance,” said Craney.

The proposed change con-

centrated much of the power in the selection process into the hands of the Secretary of State and Attorney General.

Those offices have been occupied by Democrats since 1949 and 1969, respectively, and would have the power to consistently outvote the Governor on all matters. Election of the director would also no longer require a unanimous decision, with that threshold being lowered to four-fifths.

“Campaign finance law should be fair and clear. Fair for all parties and clear so that everyone can follow the law.

House Democrats sought to make our campaign finance laws fundamentally unfair. The Senate deserves credit for undoing that wrong and we sincerely hope that they insist on their wording when the bill inevitably goes to conference,” said Craney.

been contacted by an individual identifying himself as a member of the MSO. The man – using the name of a retired Middlesex County, New Jersey officer – said he was seeking to collect bond money for her alleged failure to respond to a subpoena. Recognizing the call was a scam, the woman hung up. The man then called back a second time, with “Middlesex Sheriff ’s Office” showing on the woman’s caller ID. In previous scams, individuals have used spoofing technology to display telephone numbers associated with legitimate law enforcement agencies. This scam is similar to previously reported ones in which

callers pose as members of law enforcement, the IRS or the courts, claiming warrants have been issued for residents’ failure to pay taxes or perform jury duty. The imposters will tell those they have called that they can avoid arrest if they pay an immediate fine.

“As these scams evolve and spread, it’s critical that residents be aware of the underlying similarities so that they can protect themselves and their hard-earned money,” said Middlesex County Sheriff Peter Koutoujian. “In this case, the intended victim immediately recognized this was a scam and notified us, allowing us to alert the public.”

Everett resident awarded prestigious scholarship from William James N

EWTON – Paulina Prieto of Everett was named a 2019-2020 Center for Multicultural and Global Mental Health (CMGMH) scholar at William James College, a graduate school of psychology located in Newton, Mass. Prieto has been awarded the Serving the Mental Health Needs of the Underserved Scholarship in recognition of her commitment to serving the mental health and behavioral health needs of underrepresented populations.

“This is a highly competitive and prestigious award that represents William James College’s commitment to diversifying the behavioral health workforce,” said Dr. Gemima St. Louis, William James College associate professor in the clinical psychology department and CMGMH co-director.

“Over the past three years, we have awarded 16 scholarships to students in our master’s and doctoral degree programs. In addition to academic training, each awardee engages in vol-

unteer and community service activities, participates in social-cultural and professional development programs, and receives professional mentoring that prepares them to serve as agents of social justice and social change.”

Born and raised in Guayaquil, Ecuador, she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Guayaquil’s Universidad de Especialidades Espíritu Santo. She has volunteered at a School for the Deaf, at the Institute of Neuroscience in Guayaquil and in Quito, Ecuador, providing mental health and emotional health tools, skills and activities.

EHS receives $28,100 state grant for Innovation Pathways Funding to launch business and finance, IT curriculum

By Christopher Roberson

E

verett High School (EHS) was recently chosen by the Baker-Polito Administration to receive a $28,100 grant to implement an information technology program as well as a business and finance program through Innovation Pathways.

Interim Superintendent of Schools Janice Gauthier said this is the third Innovation Pathways grant that Everett has received “thanks to dedicated administration and staff of EHS who believe in the Academy model.”

The grant is part of a $354,000 state effort to implement Innovation Pathways in 21 high schools. Next spring, these

schools will be eligible to be designated as having Innovation Pathways by the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and Department of Higher Education. In order to apply for the designation, schools must adhere to five design policies which include “equitable access for all students, a guided academic pathway that must relate to one of five specified broad industry sectors, enhanced student supports, relevant connections to career and deep partnerships between high schools and employers or workforce development boards.”

There are currently 26 high

City Council still leery about small cell antennas

By Christopher Roberson

T

he City Council has continued to exercise caution as to whether or not Extenet, LLC will be permitted to install a series of small cell antennas on telephone poles throughout the city.

The request was initially presented to the council during the September 23 meeting before being referred to the Committee of the Whole.

During its October 28 meeting, the council voted to postpone the matter for two more weeks as City Solicitor Colleen Mejia needed additional time to review Extenet’s proposal.

Prior to voting, Councillor-at-Large Wayne Matewsky expressed concerns about antennas being added to the existing equipment.

“We have to be mindful that you can only put so much on a pole,” he said. “There’s things the size of small refrigerators on these poles.”

However, Rosanna Ferrante, representing Extenet, said the company would need approval from National Grid before the antennas could be installed.

Student Opportunity Act In other news, State Senator Sal DiDomenico was pleased to report that the $1.5 billion Student Opportunity Act was passed by the House of Representatives following approval

PATHWAYS | FROM PAGE 10 schools in Massachusetts that have Innovation Pathways.

“Innovation Pathways are designed to engage students who are trying to discover what the next steps in their future careers are and help them succeed through college-level courses and internships,” said Governor Charlie Baker in a written statement. “We are proud to continue investing in these important programs and appreciate American Student Assistance’s support with this generous award, and are pleased that high schools across the Commonwealth will be able to give students better insight into the choices available to them.”

Since its launch nearly three years ago, Innovation Pathways has provided students with “experience in a specific high-demand industry through coursework and internships at local employers.”In addition to IT and business and finance, the program also specializes in teach-

from the Senate last month.

“We’re all in agreement, we’re all in alignment,” he said, adding that Everett is expected to receive at least $19 million, which will be doled out incrementally over the next seven fiscal years. “The $19 million figure is very conservative.”

DiDomenico is also confident that the funding will remain intact throughout the coming years.

“Even if the economy shifts a little bit and enrollment shifts a little bit, these numbers will remain very strong for Everett.”

The bill is now before Governor Charlie Baker.

Although the bill received overwhelming support in the Legislature, DiDomenico said Baker has been reluctant about signing it into law.

“He is a fiscally conservative governor, he has reservations about how it’s going to be funded,” said DiDomenico.

In the event that Baker vetoes the bill, DiDomenico said the Legislature is prepared to override the governor’s veto.

Therefore, he said he expects the Student Opportunity Act to be signed into law by Thanksgiving.

Ward 1 Councillor Fred Capone praised DiDomenico for his persistence in getting the bill passed.

“When students have a sense of purpose, they become more interested and engaged in their studies, able to easily see how it all fits into their future,” said Secretary of Education James Peyser. “As more students gain skills and knowledge in different fields of study, they will have a better sense of what courses to pursue in college or additional career training, increasing the likelihood of their success.”

Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Michael Kennealy also expressed support for Innovation Pathways.

“Massachusetts is home to one of the world’s leading innovation economies, and programs like Innovation Pathways make that critical connection between employers and promising talent, setting the stage for rewarding careers that help propel our economy and Commonwealth forward,” he said.

City councillors and candidates address Everettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immigrant community

By Christopher Roberson

A

group of incumbent city councillors were recently joined by their political challengers to answer questions about housing, schools, jobs, municipal access and equity as well as immigration and diversity.

Speaking about municipal access and equity, City Council President Richard Dell Isola said the city needs more bilingual employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go into City Hall and not be able to speak to someone,â&#x20AC;? he said during the October 23 candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forum, adding that bilinShown from left to right during the candidates forum are Councillor-at-Large candidate Renee Solano, Ward 5 Councillor candidate Vivian Thuc Nguyen, Ward 1 Councillor Fred Capone, Councillor-at-Large candidate Catherine Tomassi Hicks, Ward 2 Councillor candidate Stephanie Martins, City Council President Richard Dell Isola, Ward 6 Councillor Michael McLaughlin, Councillor-at-Large candidate Joseph LaMonica and Councillor-at-Large Peter Napolitano.

gual first responders are vitally important as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we have to work on.â&#x20AC;?

Councillor-at-Large candidate Joseph LaMonica said he would support an incentive program for employees to learn a second language.

One resident asked how the councillors would respond if federal officials ordered them to provide a list of residents who are undocumented immigrants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not required to hand that information off,â&#x20AC;? said Council-

lor-at-Large Peter Napolitano. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people are a part of our community.â&#x20AC;?

Ward 1 Councillor Fred Capone said he would also resist submitting a list to the federal government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would oppose it as much as we could legally,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get a judge to tell me we have to turn it over.â&#x20AC;?

Napolitano said there have been discussions about protecting immigrant residents by making Everett a sanctuary city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very dangerous time right now; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want people to be afraid,â&#x20AC;? he said.

However, Napolitano said that Mayor Carlo DeMaria has not favored the idea of becoming a sanctuary city.

Speaking about housing, Councillor-at-Large candidate Gerly Adrien said the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s threshold for affordable housing needs to be increased. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ten

percent is way too low,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;ridiculousâ&#x20AC;? that the market rate for a studio apartment is $2,000 per month. Adrien also said the council approved the redevelopment of Everett Square without considering the request for low-income housing in that part of the city.

Ward 5 candidate Vivian Thuc Nguyen said she would like to see the city have a rent cap, adding that the cap could take effect after a tenant has been in the same unit for four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely important to cap rent,â&#x20AC;? she said.

In addition, Adrien said more guidance counselors and social workers are needed in the schools. She also said that right now the district spends â&#x20AC;&#x153;$9,000 to $10,000â&#x20AC;? per student as opposed to Cambridge, which spends $17,000 per student.

Everett riding six-game win streak entering playoffs

By Greg Phipps

T

h e re m ay h ave b e e n some panic after the Everett Crimson Tide opened the regular season with a four-touchdown home loss to defending Div. 3 state champion Springfield Central. But everything appears to be back in its normal place as the Tide enter the Div. I North tournament by hosting a first-round game at Veterans Memorial Stadium this week.

The one difference is Everett (6-1 overall) may not play at home in round two if it advances past the opening-round tilt. The Tide received a No. 4 seeding and face off against fifth-seeded Acton-Boxborough (5-2) at 7 p.m. Friday night.

Everett claimed the Greater Boston League (GBL) title this season by rolling past the other three league opponents (Malden, Medford and Somerville) by a combined 128-13 margin. But it’s the playoffs and a possible state Super Bowl bid the Tide are really looking towards.

The offensive attack feat u re s q u a r te r b a c k D u k e Doherty, who ran for one touchdown and threw for two others two weeks ago against Somerville. He is aided by running backs Jayden Clerveaux and Clarence Jules and receivers Tyrese Baptiste and Josh Nieves, to name just a few members of a deep roster of offensive weapons.

Defensively, Everett has been stingy, only giving up 13 points in its last three games. Of course, those numbers have come against less formidable opposition in the three GBL foes. But the Tide can hang their hat on three straight comeback-style wins over perennial powerhouses Xaverian, St. John’s of Shrewsbury, and Brockton before entering the league portion of their schedule.

Everett seems to be operating on all cylinders entering this year’s tournament.

The school has qualified for the postseason 19 straight seasons and has won 10 Super Bowl titles in that time.

Everett has captured a total of 12 Super Bowl crowns in its history.

Current head coach The-

luxon Pierre has gone 16-2 overall (counting last year’s playoff loss to Central Catholic) since taking over the Everett reins last year. He and his team could have a rematch with Central Catholic if the Raiders emerge victorious in their first-round game

against No. 8 seed Lexington.

If Lexington pulls the upset, the Tide would be at home for the second round. Of course, that will mean getting past Acton-Boxborough first. The Colonials are no pushover and enter the playoffs having won three straight.

How to Help Aging Parents Manage their Medications Dear Savvy Senior, What tips or tools can you recommend that can help seniors and their caregivers keep up with medications? My 82-year-old mother, who lives alone, is supposed to take several different medications at various times of the day but often forgets.

Working Daughter Dear Working, Anybody who juggles multiple medications can relate to the problem of forgetting to take a medication, or not remembering whether they already took it.

This is especially true for older adults who take medications at varying times of the day. Here are some different product and service solutions that may help.

Simple Medication Helpers Getting organized and being reminded are the two keys to staying on top of a medication schedule. To help your mom achieve this, there are a wide variety of pillboxes, medication organizers, vibrating watches, beeping pill bottles and even dispensers that will talk to her that can make all the difference.

To find these types of products, the best source is Epill.com, where you’ll find dozens to choose from.

You can also help your mom stay organized by creating a simple medication list that breaks down exactly what she should take and when she should take it. To help you with this, go to SafeMedication. com – a resource from the American Society of HealthSystem Pharmacists – and download and print a copy of “My Medicine List.”

Smart Pill Boxes There are also a variety of “smart” pill boxes on the market today that will remind your mom when she needs to take her medicine and will send family members and caregivers notifications if she forgets to take her pills, or accidentally takes the wrong ones.

Three to consider here include Tricella (Tricella.com, $95), which uses Bluetooth connectivity but requires that your mom have a smartphone with data service or tablet with WiFi; PillDrill (PillDrill.com, $279), a comprehensive system ideal for strict medication schedules

but requires home Wi-Fi; and MedMinder (MedMinder.com, $40 per month), that operates off a cellular network (no phone line or Wi-Fi necessary).

Convenient Packaging Another way to help simplify your mom’s medication use is to get her prescriptions filled in single-dose packets that put all her medications (vitamins and over-the-counter drugs can be included too) together in neatly labeled packets organized by date and the time of day they should be taken. This does away with all the pill bottles and pill sorting. One of the top providers of this type of service is PillPack.com, an online pharmacy owned by Amazon.

Apps and Calling Services If your mom has a smartphone, there are apps she could use to help her keep up with her medication. One of the best is Medisafe (MyMedisafe. com), a free app works on Apple and Android phones. Medisafe will organize your mom’s pills in one place, send her timely notifications to take her meds, and send her reminders to fill her prescriptions.

Caregivers can also connect with the Medisafe app to get notifications about when it’s time for their loved one to take their medication – and they can see whether or not it’s been marked as taken.

If your mom doesn’t use a smartphone, there are also calling services, like Care Call Reassurance, which provides medication reminding calls – see Medication-Reminders. com. This service will call your mom’s phone at the scheduled times she needs to take her medication as a reminder, and if she fails to answer or acknowledge the call, a family member or caregiver will be contacted. This service runs between $15 and $20 per month.

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 “The Savvy Senior” book.

Treasurer Goldberg announces sale results of Clean Water Trust Green Bonds

T

he State Treasurer’s Office recently announced that the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust has successfully completed the sale of approximately $191.6 million in new money Green Bonds, bringing the total amount of Green Bonds issued by the Trust to over $1 billion. The sale

achieved a true interest cost of 2.505 percent with maturities ranging through 2020-2039.

The Series 22 Green Bonds (AAA/Aaa/AAA) were sold to retail investors on October 16 with an institutional investor order period on October 17.

The sale saw strong retail participation, with 143 unique

orders from retail investors.

The sale also saw strong participation from Massachusetts investors, which comprised $45.9 million of the total $191.6 million sold.

The proceeds from the Green Bond sale and Trust program funds will finance $332.9 million in low interest loans to 48

different borrowers throughout the Commonwealth, including $52.5 million to the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, which serves 61 communities in and around the metro Boston area. These loans will go to fund projects that assist communities with adhering to the federal Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water Acts with the goal of pro-

tecting the environment and public health.

“This sale demonstrates the strong demand that exists for the Trust’s AAA bonds and the support for the important infrastructure projects that they finance,” said Massachusetts Treasurer Deborah Goldberg, who is Chair of the Trust.

With no strings attached. $1 BILLION PLUS FOR EDUCATION (H 4157) House 155-0, approved the Student Opportunity Act that invests $1.5 billion, mostly in the form of Chapter 70 Aid for local school districts, in the state's public K-12 education system over the next seven years. The measure implements the recommendations of the Foundation Budget Review Commission which found the state was underfunding schools by more than $1 billion annually.

“I am proud of the bill passed in the House as it is the result of countless hours of research, analysis and input from all stakeholders in the education field," said Education Committee chair Rep. Alice Peisch (D-Wellesley). “This bill ensures that students across the commonwealth have access to the tools necessary for academic and post-secondary success. It is a massive step toward a more equitable funding structure, which will provide the additional resources necessary to level the playing field.”

“The new funding will mean smaller class sizes, more enrichment programs and electives, an increase in guidance services, more classroom aides, improved programs for English learners and special education students and greater ability for districts to foster caring, effective, innovative schools,” said Mass Teachers’Association President Merrie Najimy.

The Senate has approved a different version of the $1 billion plus package and a House-Senate conference committee will eventual-

ly hammer out a compromise version that wIll be approved by both branches and sent off to Gov. Baker.

(A “Yes” vote is for the bill.)

Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes FREE FULL-DAY KINDERGARTEN (H 4157) House 7-147, rejected an amendment that would provide grants to cities and towns to support the establishment of free full-day kindergarten programs in schools that do not offer it for free, and to support schools at a financial risk of losing an existing free full-day kindergarten program.

Amendment supporters said a similar grant program was in effect from 2000 to 2017 but was then eliminated when state tax revenue went down $600 million. They said that gutting the grants left 83 percent of districts with free all-day kindergarten and 17 percent without it. They said the amendment is designed to ensure that every child in every school district has access to free all-day kindergarten.

Amendment opponents said the grant program was intended to be transitional, not permanent. They noted that 17 percent of districts that were not offering full-day programs were doing it for reasons that were particular to their districts. They tended to be able to offer full-day programs but chose not to do so.

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

Rep. Joseph McGonagle No $780 MILLION BUDGET (S 2378) Senate 39-0, approved a $780 million fiscal 2020 supplemental budget to cover expenses and to fund various state programs and agencies that are running out of money. The package also sets the state's next primary election before Labor Day by making it on Sept. 1, 2020 and allows for five days of early voting ahead of the primary; allows farmers to cultivate hemp on land with agricultural preservation restrictions; and transfers $356 million to the state’s stabilization fund that would jump to $3.2 The Senate version costs $50 million more than the one recently approved by the House and unlike the House bill, does not decouple the Bay State from the federal tax code to allow corporate interest deductions. It also does not include $5 million the governor sought to fight fentanyl trafficking.

“With today’s passage of this supplemental budget, the Senate is responsibly closing the books on Fis-

cal Year 2019,” said Sen. Mike Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. “While bolstering our Rainy Day Fund, we make a number of meaningful investments to increase educational opportunity, improve our state’s aging infrastructure, confront worsening congestion, reduce our carbon footprint and address public health issues relative to Eastern equine encephalitis.”

A 6-member House-Senate conference committee will hammer out a compromise version of the budget that will be approved by both branches and will go to Gov. Baker’s desk.

(A “Yes” vote is for the budget.)

Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes $250,000 FOR VISITOR INFORMATION CENTERS (S 2378) Senate 9-30, rejected an amendment providing $250,000 for the 11 Massachusetts visitor information centers.

Amendment supporters said these centers are important places where visitors and tourists go to get information while staying in the Bay State. They argued the centers facilitate commerce and generate revenue for the state.

Amendment opponents said the amendment is well-intentioned but noted that the House must hold the line on additional spending if it wants to put away money in the State’s Rainy Day Fund. They noted that there are other boosts for tourism in the budget including a $1.2 million increase in funding for regional tourism councils.

(A “Yes” vote is for the $250,000. A “No” vote is against it.)

Sen. Sal DiDomenico No $200,000 FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN’S HEALTH (S 2378) Senate 38-1, approved an amendment providing $200,000 for the Silent Spring Institute for research on links between environmental chemicals and women and children’s health.

Amendment supporters said the Institute was created to examine elevated breast cancer rates on Cape

Cod. They said the research is very important for Massachusetts residents who have elevated breast cancer risks because there are toxins in the environment.

“I have a long-standing policy of opposing [earmarks],” said Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz (D-Boston) who opposed the amendment. “While some earmarks benefit wonderful organizations, overall I believe earmarking hurts our ability to plan long-term fiscal policy and undermines opportunities for fair, transparent, rigorous allocation of taxpayers’ dollars. I find other ways to go to bat for great organizations and causes."

(A “Yes” vote is for the $200,000. A “No” vote is against it.)

Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes DOUBLE DEPENDENT TAX CREDIT (S 2378) Senate 10-28, rejected an amendment that would double a dependent tax credit, from $1,000 per year to $2,000, for families with children and those who care for an elderly or disabled relative. The break was first proposed by Gov. Charlie Baker in his version of a supplemental budget but was stripped from the House and Senate versions of the budget.

Amendment supporters said the state has a more than $1 billion surplus and can afford to help working families with a reasonable tax cut.

“A taxpayer with two children and a dependent elderly parent would be eligible for a $6,000 exemption under this proposal, up from $3,000, with tax savings rising from $150 to $300,” said Baker when he filed the proposal back in September. “This change is expected to reduce tax collections by $87 million per year and I rec-

Page 25 ommend reserving $175 million to cover approximately two years at the higher exemption rate, which will give budget writers sufficient time to adjust to the revision in collections.’

Amendment opponents said it is not a good idea to implement a tax cut when the economy is flourishing. They argued when the state has excess revenues, the money should put it away in the Rainy Day Fund so it will be there when the economy eventually tanks.

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

Sen. Sal DiDomenico No HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. 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 October 2125, the House met for a total of 14 hours and 15 minutes while the Senate met for a total of seven hours and 20 minutes.

Mon. Oct. 21 House 11:01 a.m. to 2:50 p.m.
