Office of the Tenant Advocate
At the suggestion of Senator Lovely, we submitted a proposal for the creation of the Office of the Tenant Advocate to Representative Sally P. Kerans. We were unable to complete a final bill in legislative language in time for the filing deadline, however, a “placeholder” bill was presented by Representative Sally P. Kerans and Senator Joan B. Lovely, cosponsored by Representative Thomas Walsh. The language has been updated by the House Counsel.
Please contact your Senator and Representative to express your support and ask them to cosponsor.
Even The Sparrow Has Found A Home
Alas, not every child finds a safe home and sparrows do fall. A child fell while in the nest of a car, the shelter the mother could provide when she could not afford the inn.
According to the report by Julie Manganis, Mother facing charges after 2-year-old child dies of an apparent drug overdose, Vanessa Jeising carried the lifeless body of her two-year-old daughter, Lilly Iorio, to Lahey Hospital in Peabody, after they spent the night in her car. The mother has been arrested on charges relating to her daughter’s death.

“Oh, isn't it great that the pandemic is almost over, that’s why we can hang out without masks.”
This conversation took place in the lobby of an apartment building of 112 units in Salem public housing for the elderly and disabled, where at least 9 tenants have current or recent cases of COVID, including one recent COVID death—a rate of 8% infections.
