"Drivers might think twice about gunning it through an intersection when the light has just turned red if a bill the Massachusetts Senate plans to debate next week becomes law.

Under a bill (S 2553) scheduled for a vote next Thursday when the Senate meets in its next formal session, cities and towns across Massachusetts could decide to install automated road safety camera systems to identify and then photograph vehicles that commit any number of traffic law violations at intersections.

The camera systems could look for vehicles that fail to stop at a red light, cars traveling at least five miles an hour above the posted speed limit, vehicles making a right turn at a red light where prohibited, and cars blocking an intersection or bus lane. Drivers who put the pedal down when they see a yellow light, however, would be are safe -- the bill declares that it would not be a violation “if any part of the vehicle was over the stop line when the light was yellow.”

If caught by a camera, the vehicle owner could be hit with a fine of up to $25 under the bill, which was originally filed by Sen. William Brownsberger and redrafted by the Ways and Means Committee."

Social Security Launches New Campaign to Fight Scammers (video)

"Recently, we launched a new Public Service Announcement campaign as our latest step to caution you about the ongoing nationwide telephone impersonation scheme. The videos feature a message from our Commissioner, Andrew Saul. 

Along with our Office of the Inspector General, we continue to receive reports about fraudulent phone calls and emails from people falsely claiming they’re government employees. 

The scammers play on emotions like fear to convince people to provide personal information or money in cash, wire transfers, or gift cards. Fraudsters are also emailing fake documents in attempts to get people to comply with their demands."

MassBudget: Governor's FY 2021 budget $74M short for low-income students; one-time revenue gains largely offset by planned phase-outs; and assumptions that MassHealth will remain stable

New MassBudget analysis finds delay or underinvestment for some essential benefits and programs

Governor's FY 2021 budget for K-12 funding falls short by $74 million for low-income kids

While the Governor's Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 budget proposes funding levels that mostly keep pace with the state's seven-year plan to overhaul funding for K-12 schools, it falls short in keeping one key area on track: support for students in low-income families.

In this critical area of the new school funding law - the Student Opportunity Act (SOA) - the Governor's FY 2021 budget only delivers on four percent of the necessary increase, leaving low-income students $74 million short. Under this budget proposal, state lawmakers would have to make up the remaining 96 percent of what's needed for low-income students over the next six years, according to a new MassBudget report, Opportunity Delayed: FY 2021 Governor's budget for K-12 funding falls short by $74M for low-income kids. http://massbudget.org/report_window.php?loc=FY2021%20Governor%27s%20Budget%20SOA%20Highlights.html

"The goal of the Student Opportunity Act is to update our state funding for public schools so every child can get an excellent education, regardless of their background. Slower progress on any part of this new law means state lawmakers will have to play catch-up later," said Colin Jones, senior policy analyst and author of the report. "Meanwhile, schools would not be able to consistently phase in enhancements to their programs on schedule."

Other MassBudget briefs analyzing the Governor's FY 2021 budget found that:

In revenue, the Governor's budget proposes one-time revenues that will largely be offset by scheduled losses.

The Governor balances his budget by adding about $498 million in mostly one-time tax and non-tax revenues. These one-time sources will not be available to help fund the budget in future years.

Meanwhile, $420 million in recurring revenue will be disappearing from the state's revenue stream because of recent and pending changes in law. The Governor's FY 2021 budget already accounts for these losses, but the losses will leave the state with that much less each year to invest in communities.

Details on the revenue picture in the budget can be found in FY 2021 GOVERNOR'S BUDGET: Revenue - Governor proposes one-time revenues, which will largely be offset by scheduled loss of recurring revenues.  http://massbudget.org/report_window.php?loc=FY2021%20Governor%27s%20Budget%20Revenue%20Highlights.html

On MassHealth, the Governor proposes to hold steady.

The Governor's FY 2021 budget proposal does not include major health reform initiatives and assumes the MassHealth caseload will remain stable during the fiscal year. The proposal includes about $17.94 billion for a range of MassHealth programs and related spending. More than half of the MassHealth program spending is reimbursed by the federal government.

The Governor has proposed separate legislation to re-align overall health care spending to emphasize behavioral health and primary care.

For details on MassHealth funding in the budget, see FY 2021 GOVERNOR'S BUDGET: MassHealth and Health Reform - Governor proposes to hold steady.  https://massbudget.org/report_window.php?loc=FY2021%20Governor%27s%20Budget%20MassHealth%20Highlights.html

The Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center (MassBudget) produces policy research, analysis, and data-driven recommendations focused on improving the lives of low- and middle-income children and adults, strengthening our state's economy, and enhancing the quality of life in Massachusetts.

In the News: ISO rating improved for Franklin; Bellingham cinema exploring alcohol license

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"Some homeowners will see their insurance rates decrease this spring when the Franklin Fire Department’s new ISO rating takes effect next month.

Previously holding a Class 3 rating since 2018, Chief James McLaughlin recently announced that the department has improved its ISO rating - also referred to as a “fire score,” or Public Protection Classification (PPC) - to Class 2. Determined by the Insurance Services Office Inc. (ISO), the rating indicates how prepared a department is in the case of fire and how quickly it would be able to put it out, he said.

Ratings are issued on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the best. Jersey City, New Jersey-based ISO provides statistical and claims-related information to serve insurers, regulators and other risk managers in the property-casualty insurance market.

Though the audit process to review a department’s ranking takes place every five years, McLaughlin called the ISO to question why the department’s rating was a 3 when he joined the department last July. A few months later, he was informed that its rating was improved upon further review, he said."

"Franklin’s water supply was a factor in improving the Fire Department’s rating"

"The serving of alcohol and a $6 million renovation could be coming to Bellingham’s Regal Cinema.

The news comes from recently released Bellingham selectmen minutes from the board’s Jan. 21 meeting. Regal Bellingham General Manager Josh Ferriera and attorney Andrew Upton discussed “the possibility of obtaining an All Alcohol Restaurant license,” according to the minutes.

Management at Regal Bellingham, in the Charles River Center shopping plaza near Interstate 495, directed comment to the company’s media inquiries line. Messages left at that number and at Upton’s Boston office and email address were not returned by the Daily News’ deadline.

“Regal in Bellingham is in the process of a $6M update to the cinema and would like to offer the option of purchasing an alcoholic beverage,” the minutes read."

Franklin celebrates 242nd birthday at the Historical Museum - Mar 2

The Franklin Historical Museum will celebrate the town’s 242nd March 2 birthday with cake and a prize drawing. All residents of the town of Franklin who share the same birthday have been invited to join us on Sunday March 1st at 1:00 PM for the festivities. 

Franklin was incorporated during the early years of our country’s war for Independence. Less than two years after our young country declared independence from the Crown, the West Precinct of Wrentham declared independence and became the town of Franklin, March 2nd, 1778. 

Franklin celebrates 242nd birthday

As many people know, the town was originally to be known as Exeter, named after a town in England, possibly where many Wrentham residents originated from. But before the petition could be presented to the Dedham Court, our founding fathers changed the name to Franklin, to honor the great statesman Benjamin Franklin who had just secured support from France in our battle for independence from England.

The town has flourished and grown, first as a farming community, then a manufacturing town, and today is home to nearly 32,000 people. All residents are invited to stop by and share a piece of birthday cake, Sunday March 1st between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM.

The Franklin Historical Museum is located at 80 West Central Street. We are ADA compliant, admission is always free and donations are gratefully accepted.
