line:84% that will come before the Senate during today's session. 00:11:06.020 --> 00:11:07.945 align:middle line:84% And Mr. President, currently on the calendar, 00:11:07.945 --> 00:11:10.120 align:middle line:84% and now pending before the Senate, 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.030 align:middle line:84% is a very substantial bond bill, which 00:11:13.030 --> 00:11:16.600 align:middle line:84% I know has been filtered through the Committee 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.350 align:middle line:84% on Bond and Capital Expenditures and State Assets, and also is 00:11:20.350 --> 00:11:22.900 align:middle line:84% now has been the subject of an effort 00:11:22.900 --> 00:11:24.820 align:middle line:84% by the Committee on Ways and Means. 00:11:24.820 --> 00:11:29.160 align:middle line:84% Mr. President, I would point out that this bond bill represents 00:11:29.160 --> 00:11:34.100 align:middle line:84% bond authorizations for over $3.5 billion. 00:11:34.100 --> 00:11:38.890 align:middle line:84% So this is a serious exercise in allocating state assets. 00:11:38.890 --> 00:11:41.386 align:middle line:84% So Mr. President, I'm hoping that before we 00:11:41.386 --> 00:11:42.760 align:middle line:84% get into the several amendments-- 00:11:42.760 --> 00:11:45.670 align:middle line:84% and I know that there are many amendments-- that we can have 00:11:45.670 --> 00:11:49.690 align:middle line:84% an explanation, preferably from the distinguished chairman 00:11:49.690 --> 00:11:52.060 align:middle line:84% of the Committee on Ways and Means, who is presently 00:11:52.060 --> 00:11:54.700 align:middle line:84% in consultation with the distinguished chairman 00:11:54.700 --> 00:11:57.790 align:middle line:84% of the Committee on Bond and Capital Expenditures and State 00:11:57.790 --> 00:11:58.660 align:middle line:90% Assets. 00:11:58.660 --> 00:12:00.700 align:middle line:84% They may be working out the final details 00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:02.890 align:middle line:84% and comparing notes of their analysis 00:12:02.890 --> 00:12:04.480 align:middle line:90% of this particular bill. 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:07.480 align:middle line:84% So hopefully any last minute information 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.640 align:middle line:84% that can come as a result of that conversation 00:12:09.640 --> 00:12:11.050 align:middle line:90% will be shared with us. 00:12:11.050 --> 00:12:13.420 align:middle line:84% I know the gentle lady who was the distinguished 00:12:13.420 --> 00:12:15.130 align:middle line:84% Chair of the Committee

that notebook open, 00:12:21.970 --> 00:12:25.030 align:middle line:84% and so I'm hoping that she will pry it open even 00:12:25.030 --> 00:12:29.140 align:middle line:84% further and share with us an overview of the bond bill 00:12:29.140 --> 00:12:30.970 align:middle line:84% that now pends before the Senate. 00:12:30.970 --> 00:12:33.820 align:middle line:84% I appreciate her work on this, and I look forward 00:12:33.820 --> 00:12:37.630 align:middle line:84% to her explanation, and I thank you, Mr. President. 00:12:37.630 --> 00:12:41.879 align:middle line:84% The chair recognizes the gentle lady from-- 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:42.670 align:middle line:90% where are you from? 00:12:42.670 --> 00:12:44.676 align:middle line:90% From Norfolk and Suffolk. 00:12:44.676 --> 00:12:46.065

--> 00:12:48.200 align:middle line:90% I'm learning. 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:49.680 align:middle line:90% Norfolk and Suffolk-- 00:12:49.680 --> 00:12:51.400 align:middle line:90% Ms. Spilka. 00:12:51.400 --> 00:12:52.930 align:middle line:90% Thank you, Mr. President. 00:12:52.930 --> 00:12:58.630 align:middle line:84% And I want to thank the minority leader for asking for an update 00:12:58.630 --> 00:13:01.750 align:middle line:84% as a highlight of what this bill does. 00:13:01.750 --> 00:13:07.060 align:middle line:84% So I will talk briefly about it, give a brief overview. 00:13:07.060 --> 00:13:08.410 align:middle line:90% [COUGHS] 00:13:08.410 --> 00:13:09.310 align:middle line:90% 00:13:09.310 --> 00:13:11.440 align:middle line:90% Excuse me. 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:17.500 align:middle line:84% Today we take up Senate 2279 to provide for the Commonwealth's 00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:19.330 align:middle line:90% capital needs. 00:13:19.330 --> 00:13:22.870 align:middle line:84% The bill before us authorizes the issuance 00:13:22.870 --> 00:13:29.110 align:middle line:90% of up to $3,546,000,000. 00:13:29.110 --> 00:13:31.060 align:middle line:90% And I will repeat that-- 00:13:31.060 --> 00:13:37.690 align:middle line:90% $3,546,000,000 in bonds. 00:13:37.690 --> 00:13:41.650 align:middle line:84% It authorizes that for the improvement of capital 00:13:41.650 --> 00:13:46.570 align:middle line:84% facilities of the commonwealth and for the general operations, 00:13:46.570 --> 00:13:50.150 align:middle line:84% for general government operations, 00:13:50.150 --> 00:13:56.500 align:middle line:84% including $475 million for state university and community 00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:59.800 align:middle line:84% college campus improvements that's desperately 00:13:59.800 --> 00:14:04.720 align:middle line:84% needed across our commonwealth to make sure our public higher 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:09.520 align:middle line:84% ed students have the best possible education that we 00:14:09.520 --> 00:14:13.800 align:middle line:84% can give them, and they deserve nothing less. 00:14:13.800 --> 00:14:17.920 align:middle line:84% $475 million for the University of Massachusetts 00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:21.100 align:middle line:90% system for campus improvements-- 00:14:21.100 --> 00:14:24.220 align:middle line:84% we know that we have been continually investing 00:14:24.220 --> 00:14:25.870 align:middle line:90% in the UMass system. 00:14:25.870 --> 00:14:31.420 align:middle line:84% We need to continue to invest in the UMass system, 00:14:31.420 --> 00:14:36.190 align:middle line:84% also, to make sure those campuses provide the best 00:14:36.190 --> 00:14:39.490 align:middle line:84% education, not only for public higher ed, 00:14:39.490 --> 00:14:45.410 align:middle line:84% but for all of the education for our students here. 00:14:45.410 --> 00:14:50.650 align:middle line:84% $675 million for the trial court facility improvements. 00:14:50.650 --> 00:14:52.450 align:middle line:84% We have some trial court buildings 00:14:52.450 --> 00:14:57.130 align:middle line:84% across the commonwealth that are literally falling apart. 00:14:57.130 --> 00:14:59.440 align:middle line:90% I know the one in my district-- 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:02.350 align:middle line:84% believe it or not, there's four walls to a building. 00:15:02.350 --> 00:15:03.820 align:middle line:90% We all know that. 00:15:03.820 --> 00:15:10.750 align:middle line:84% The rear wall is separating from the rest of the other three 00:15:10.750 --> 00:15:11.870 align:middle line:90% walls. 00:15:11.870 --> 00:15:15.040 align:middle line:84% It has literally been separating. 00:15:15.040 --> 00:15:16.120 align:middle line:90% It's very old. 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.640 align:middle line:90% It's fallen apart. 00:15:18.640 --> 00:15:23.380 align:middle line:84% $85 million for the Clean Energy Investment Program 00:15:23.380 --> 00:15:29.530 align:middle line:84% to improve the energy efficiency of state-owned facilities. 00:15:29.530 --> 00:15:33.670 align:middle line:84% To put this all in perspective, at the close of 2017, 00:15:33.670 --> 00:15:39.880 align:middle line:84% the Debt Affordability Committee recommended a total issuance 00:15:39.880 --> 00:15:46.930 align:middle line:84% of $2.34 billion for fiscal year 2019. 00:15:46.930 --> 00:15:50.700 align:middle line:84% This is an increase of approximately rightly 3.5% 00:15:50.700 --> 00:15:58.710 align:middle line:84% over the fiscal year 2018 issuance cap of $2.26 billion. 00:15:58.710 --> 00:16:01.710 align:middle line:84% As of August 31, the commonwealth's 00:16:01.710 --> 00:16:07.740 align:middle line:84% total outstanding debt was $26.1 billion, 00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:12.780 align:middle line:84% including $20.6 billion in direct debt 00:16:12.780 --> 00:16:16.643 align:middle line:90% subject to the statutory limit. 00:16:16.643 --> 00:16:23.880 align:middle line:84% That limit will increase from $22.9 billion in 2018 00:16:23.880 --> 00:16:29.010 align:middle line:84% to $24 billion in fiscal year '19. 00:16:29.010 --> 00:16:36.090 align:middle line:84% So all of the debt that we incur has that cap that we cannot 00:16:36.090 --> 00:16:41.640 align:middle line:84% incur any other debt over that bond cap. 00:16:41.640 --> 00:16:44.470 align:middle line:84% So the bill before us responsibly-- 00:16:44.470 --> 00:16:49.080 align:middle line:84% and I stress the word responsibly-- 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.740 align:middle line:84% provides for the capital needs of the commonwealth 00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:57.450 align:middle line:84% and assures that we are providing those capital needs 00:16:57.450 --> 00:17:03.090 align:middle line:84% and covering every corner of the state, all around the state, 00:17:03.090 --> 00:17:04.560 align:middle line:90% and the needs. 00:17:04.560 -->

00:17:15.540 align:middle line:84% makes great strides towards this effort 00:17:15.540 --> 00:17:19.380 align:middle line:84% to help all of the residents of our commonwealth. 00:17:19.380 -->

bonding, 00:18:22.100 --> 00:18:25.720 align:middle line:84% but I also would like to thank each one of the senators who 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:29.080 align:middle line:84% has given their input, their priorities, 00:18:29.080 --> 00:18:32.290 align:middle line:84% and put a lot of time towards creating 00:18:32.290 --> 00:18:34.861 align:middle line:90% this fiscally responsible bill. 00:18:34.861 --> 00:18:35.360 align:middle line:90% Thank you. 00:18:35.360 --> 00:18:38.120 align:middle line:90% 00:18:38.120 --> 00:18:40.412 align:middle line:84% Recognizes the gentleman from

appreciate the gentlelady's explanation. 00:18:45.500 --> 00:18:48.350 align:middle line:84% And I do appreciate the very important fact 00:18:48.350 --> 00:18:52.280 align:middle line:84% that she cited that the passage of this bond bill 00:18:52.280 --> 00:18:56.570 align:middle line:84% would not violate the principles that we have 00:18:56.570 --> 00:18:58.400 align:middle line:84% in terms of an overall bond spending 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:00.260 align:middle line:90% cap and the fiscal discipline. 00:19:00.260 --> 00:19:02.420 align:middle line:84% That's absolutely imperative here. 00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:03.930 align:middle line:90% And I appreciate that. 00:19:03.930 --> 00:19:07.040 align:middle line:84% I would sound a note of caution, that we continue 00:19:07.040 --> 00:19:08.930 align:middle line:84% to in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts 00:19:08.930 --> 00:19:13.770 align:middle line:84% have very high levels of indebtedness per capita 00:19:13.770 --> 00:19:16.830 align:middle line:84% versus states all across the country. 00:19:16.830 --> 00:19:19.100 align:middle line:84% And so even as we move forward with this exercise, 00:19:19.100 --> 00:19:22.010 align:middle line:84% I appreciate the elements of fiscal discipline 00:19:22.010 --> 00:19:23.612 align:middle line:90% that she has cited. 00:19:23.612 --> 00:19:25.070 align:middle line:84% But I, again, do not think it would 00:19:25.070 --> 00:19:29.150 align:middle line:84% be proper to undertake this exercise without realizing 00:19:29.150 --> 00:19:33.500 align:middle line:84% that we still have, as a collective situation, very high 00:19:33.500 --> 00:19:35.840 align:middle line:90% levels of bonded indebtedness. 00:19:35.840 --> 00:19:37.670 align:middle line:84% With that, Mr. President, I look forward 00:19:37.670 --> 00:19:40.376 align:middle line:84% to consideration of the several amendments. 00:19:40.376 --> 00:19:45.960 align:middle line:84% Shall I

align:middle line:84% for her excellent work on putting together this capital 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:09.380 align:middle line:84% bond bill, as well as the gentleman from Quincy, Senate 00:21:09.380 --> 00:21:11.790 align:middle line:90% Chair of Capital Bonding. 00:21:11.790 --> 00:21:14.400 align:middle line:84% I just want to briefly talk about this amendment, Amendment 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:18.320 align:middle line:84% number 3, which is $10 million to update and complete 00:21:18.320 --> 00:21:20.460 align:middle line:84% a final environmental impact statement 00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:23.670 align:middle line:84% in reporting on the North-South Rail Link. 00:21:23.670 --> 00:21:26.710 align:middle line:84% I am very proud that the Senate has taking the lead, 00:21:26.710 --> 00:21:30.600 align:middle line:84% going back to the Transportation Bond Bill of four years ago, 00:21:30.600 --> 00:21:34.350 align:middle line:84% to pass a $2 million feasibility study for the North-South Rail 00:21:34.350 --> 00:21:37.860 align:middle line:84% Link, which the Baker and Polito administration is currently 00:21:37.860 --> 00:21:40.920 align:middle line:84% studying, and a study is hopefully going 00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:43.222 align:middle line:90% to be come back to us in July. 00:21:43.222 --> 00:21:45.180 align:middle line:84% However, Mr. President, I think the recognition 00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:49.350 align:middle line:84% is we need an environmental impact of the North-South Rail 00:21:49.350 --> 00:21:51.750 align:middle line:84% Link, not only to preserve that path, 00:21:51.750 --> 00:21:54.390 align:middle line:84% but also to get a better sense of the cost of building 00:21:54.390 --> 00:21:55.920 align:middle line:90% a North-South Rail Link. 00:21:55.920 --> 00:22:00.180 align:middle line:84% It's a critical link, not only for improving traffic 00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:03.990 align:middle line:84% congestion in Boston, but I would say the entire MBTA 00:22:03.990 --> 00:22:05.970 align:middle line:90% commuter rail system in general. 00:22:05.970 --> 00:22:11.040 align:middle line:84% And this earmark not only would provide that study, 00:22:11.040 --> 00:22:13.290 align:middle line:84% but it sends a message, Mr. President, 00:22:13.290 --> 00:22:15.960 align:middle line:84% that the Senate strongly stands behind the North-South Rail 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:19.990 align:middle line:84% Link, and we need to invest in transportation infrastructure. 00:22:19.990 --> 00:22:22.410 align:middle line:84% Many of the earmarks, which are in this capital bond bill, 00:22:22.410 --> 00:22:24.210 align:middle line:90% are doing just that. 00:22:24.210 --> 00:22:27.420 align:middle line:84% Urge my colleagues to support Amendment number 3. 00:22:27.420 --> 00:22:28.760 align:middle line:90% Thank you, Mr. President. 00:22:28.760 --> 00:22:31.394 align:middle line:90% 00:22:31.394 --> 00:22:32.310 align:middle

align:middle line:84% The senator from Essex and Middlesex, Mr. Tarr. 01:16:35.430 --> 01:16:36.880 align:middle line:90% Why thank you, Madam President. 01:16:36.880 --> 01:16:39.210 align:middle line:84% How wonderful it is to see you upon the roster. 01:16:39.210 --> 01:16:42.800 align:middle line:84% It has been too quiet in the chamber, Madam President, 01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:46.580 align:middle line:84% but that's because we've been speaking to ways to spend 01:16:46.580 --> 01:16:49.520 align:middle line:84% money, and this particular amendment actually proposes 01:16:49.520 --> 01:16:51.800 align:middle line:84% potentially a way to save money, and so 01:16:51.800 --> 01:16:55.340 align:middle line:84% I rise to call attention to this amendment for the members. 01:16:55.340 --> 01:16:59.330 align:middle line:84% Madam President, we have seen, in some very discreet instances 01:16:59.330 --> 01:17:02.930 align:middle line:84% in the Commonwealth, the ability of public-private partnerships 01:17:02.930 --> 01:17:06.710 align:middle line:84% to effectuate important capital improvements, 01:17:06.710 --> 01:17:09.890 align:middle line:84% while making use of the skills of the private sector, 01:17:09.890 --> 01:17:13.430 align:middle line:84% combined with the abilities of the public sector, 01:17:13.430 --> 01:17:15.950 align:middle line:84% to be able to move forward with joint projects. 01:17:15.950 --> 01:17:18.200 align:middle line:84% Now Madam President, up until now, 01:17:18.200 --> 01:17:21.500 align:middle line:84% those projects have been considered fairly 01:17:21.500 --> 01:17:23.840 align:middle line:90% on an individualized basis. 01:17:23.840 --> 01:17:26.180 align:middle line:84% But yet, Madam President, it seems 01:17:26.180 --> 01:17:29.000 align:middle line:84% that it might be a way, or several ways, 01:17:29.000 --> 01:17:31.610 align:middle line:84% to develop pathways for these projects 01:17:31.610 --> 01:17:35.210 align:middle line:84% to happen in a more routine and in a more standardized way, 01:17:35.210 --> 01:17:37.910 align:middle line:84% that might make them even more efficient. 01:17:37.910 --> 01:17:40.550 align:middle line:84% And so, Madam President, the pending amendment 01:17:40.550 --> 01:17:44.990 align:middle line:84% proposes a commission to look at public-private partnerships, 01:17:44.990 --> 01:17:48.200 align:middle line:84% that includes representatives of organized labor, 01:17:48.200 --> 01:17:50.780 align:middle line:84% folks in the private construction industry, 01:17:50.780 --> 01:17:54.470 align:middle line:84% as well as folks in government, to see if we can bring people 01:17:54.470 --> 01:17:58.310 align:middle line:84% to the table and explore even more ways that we could 01:17:58.310 --> 01:18:01.970 align:middle line:84% use public-private partnerships to generate positive results. 01:18:01.970 --> 01:18:04.630 align:middle line:84% And Madam

having a wonderful afternoon 01:42:42.670 --> 01:42:45.460 align:middle line:84% together, but we seem to have had a interlude, which 01:42:45.460 --> 01:42:50.090 align:middle line:84% has led some

Thank you. 01:44:10.220 --> 01:44:14.070 align:middle line:84% Thank you, Madam President and, through you, to the members. 01:44:14.070 --> 01:44:17.100 align:middle line:84% When the B&O Railroad went out of business in the 1950s, 01:44:17.100 --> 01:44:21.500 align:middle line:84% the MBTA took over control of the Stoughton Train Depot 01:44:21.500 --> 01:44:23.450 align:middle line:90% without any payment. 01:44:23.450 --> 01:44:26.840 align:middle line:84% Moreover, in the mid-1980s, the Town of Stoughton, 01:44:26.840 --> 01:44:29.720 align:middle line:84% at their own expense, refurbished the depot 01:44:29.720 --> 01:44:33.260 align:middle line:84% because of its value to the town's downtown area 01:44:33.260 --> 01:44:39.080 align:middle line:84% and the great future of economic development that it promised. 01:44:39.080 --> 01:44:43.160 align:middle line:84% With the refurbishment, Stoughton expended $300,000, 01:44:43.160 --> 01:44:45.362 align:middle line:84% as I just mentioned, to modernize this depot. 01:44:45.362 --> 01:44:47.570 align:middle line:84% While the Town of Stoughton paid for the improvements 01:44:47.570 --> 01:44:52.490 align:middle line:84% to the depot, the MBTA has continued to own the building. 01:44:52.490 --> 01:44:54.560 align:middle line:84% Following the refurbishment, the MBTA 01:44:54.560 --> 01:44:57.920 align:middle line:84% did not perform any upkeep or maintenance on the depot. 01:44:57.920 --> 01:45:01.940 align:middle line:84% Quite literally due to the neglect of the MBTA, this depot 01:45:01.940 --> 01:45:04.310 align:middle line:90% is now a biohazard. 01:45:04.310 --> 01:45:07.370 align:middle line:84% Recently, the Town of Stoughton came to a decision 01:45:07.370 --> 01:45:10.640 align:middle line:84% to seek to acquire control of the building. 01:45:10.640 --> 01:45:12.710 align:middle line:84% In response to the Town of Stoughton's decision, 01:45:12.710 --> 01:45:15.740 align:middle line:84% the MBTA has asked the town to pay fair market 01:45:15.740 --> 01:45:20.180 align:middle line:84% value for this property, despite never paying anything 01:45:20.180 --> 01:45:22.810 align:middle line:84% for this depot themselves, or for 01:45:22.810 --> 01:45:25.000 align:middle line:90% the subsequent refurbishment. 01:45:25.000 --> 01:45:28.097 align:middle line:84% Consequently, the MBTA and the Town of Stoughton 01:45:28.097 --> 01:45:29.680 align:middle line:84% have come to an agreement for the town 01:45:29.680 --> 01:45:33.040 align:middle line:84% to purchase the building for $175,000. 01:45:33.040 --> 01:45:36.760 align:middle line:84% However, prior to this sale, the Town of Stoughton and the MBTA 01:45:36.760 --> 01:45:38.050 align:middle line:90% agreed to tour the facility. 01:45:38.050 --> 01:45:41.980 align:middle line:84% This tour happened in May of 2017. 01:45:41.980 --> 01:45:45.670 align:middle line:84% During the tour, general structural disrepair 01:45:45.670 --> 01:45:49.270 align:middle line:84% and, more alarmingly, a large amount of asbestos 01:45:49.270 --> 01:45:52.540 align:middle line:84% were discovered, posing significant hazards 01:45:52.540 --> 01:45:55.990 align:middle line:84% to any [INAUDIBLE] or use of the building. 01:45:55.990 --> 01:45:58.240 align:middle line:84% With this disturbing revelation, the Town of Stoughton 01:45:58.240 --> 01:46:04.270 align:middle line:84% has requested that the MBTA clean up the depot. 01:46:04.270 --> 01:46:07.330 align:middle line:84% Unfortunately, the MBTA has not done so. 01:46:07.330 --> 01:46:10.810 align:middle line:84% They have not addressed the biohazards that exist. 01:46:10.810 --> 01:46:13.450 align:middle line:84% Thus, the Town of Stoughton does not 01:46:13.450 --> 01:46:17.460 align:middle line:84% believe that the depot currently is worth $175,000. 01:46:17.460 --> 01:46:20.140 align:middle line:84% Now, there are there are two fundamental underpinnings 01:46:20.140 --> 01:46:22.450 align:middle line:84% to the proposed redevelopment of the Town of Stoughton. 01:46:22.450 --> 01:46:25.810 align:middle line:84% One is the postal office, which our congressman, Stephen Lynch, 01:46:25.810 --> 01:46:30.430 align:middle line:84% currently is seeking to move, and this train depot. 01:46:30.430 --> 01:46:35.270 align:middle line:84% With this amendment, if adopted, the purchase price 01:46:35.270 --> 01:46:38.780 align:middle line:84% will be reduced to $1 for the Town of Stoughton, 01:46:38.780 --> 01:46:40.690 align:middle line:84% which will allow the Town of Stoughton 01:46:40.690 --> 01:46:49.160 align:middle line:84% to invest significant moneys in this depot, 01:46:49.160 --> 01:46:51.410 align:middle line:84% assisting economic development and serving 01:46:51.410 --> 01:46:54.440 align:middle line:84% the riders of the T, who use this train 01:46:54.440 --> 01:46:57.260 align:middle line:84% station without the use of the depot, because, of course, 01:46:57.260 --> 01:47:04.160 align:middle line:84% it is locked up, and it is a disaster, quite succinctly. 01:47:04.160 --> 01:47:08.190 align:middle line:84% With that, I ask you to consider this amendment, 01:47:08.190 --> 01:47:09.690 align:middle line:90% and I hope it is adopted. 01:47:09.690 --> 01:47:11.338 align:middle line:84% Thank you very much, Madam President. 01:47:11.338 --> 01:47:14.930 align:middle line:90% 01:47:14.930 --> 01:47:23.066 align:middle line:84% The senator from Norfolk and Plymouth, Mr. Keenan. 01:47:23.066 --> 01:47:24.940 align:middle line:84% Thank you, Madam President, and, through you, 01:47:24.940 --> 01:47:29.040 align:middle line:84% to the gentleman from Milton, who 01:47:29.040 --> 01:47:30.840 align:middle line:84% I share the great town of Braintree 01:47:30.840 --> 01:47:32.580 align:middle line:84% with, as we represent it together. 01:47:32.580 --> 01:47:37.517 align:middle line:84% And I commend him for his advocacy for his district. 01:47:37.517 --> 01:47:38.600 align:middle line:90% He is well known for that. 01:47:38.600 --> 01:47:40.620 align:middle line:84% And on this matter in particular, 01:47:40.620 --> 01:47:42.990 align:middle line:84% I know when he was over in the House of Representatives, 01:47:42.990 --> 01:47:44.760 align:middle line:84% this was a matter of great concern to him, 01:47:44.760 --> 01:47:47.520 align:middle line:84% and that he has worked very hard to bring 01:47:47.520 --> 01:47:49.200 align:middle line:84% the MBTA and the Town of Stoughton 01:47:49.200 --> 01:47:52.980 align:middle line:84% together in an effort to have them reach 01:47:52.980 --> 01:47:57.720 align:middle line:84% an agreement for what is a property that certainly needs 01:47:57.720 --> 01:48:00.750 align:middle line:90% some work and some attention. 01:48:00.750 --> 01:48:05.010 align:middle line:84% What we have here before us in this amendment 01:48:05.010 --> 01:48:15.060 align:middle line:84% is to basically negate the last agreement that they had. 01:48:15.060 --> 01:48:20.829 align:middle line:84% Just by way of history, back in between 2000 and 2015-- 01:48:20.829 --> 01:48:22.620 align:middle line:84% I'm sorry, let me go back a little further. 01:48:22.620 --> 01:48:25.920 align:middle line:84% So back to 2012, the property was put out 01:48:25.920 --> 01:48:28.757 align:middle line:84% to bid So just about a little over five years ago, 01:48:28.757 --> 01:48:30.090 align:middle line:90% the property was put out to bid. 01:48:30.090 --> 01:48:33.660 align:middle line:84% There was no bids received on it. 01:48:33.660 --> 01:48:40.260 align:middle line:84% And back in 2012, in Chapter 242 of the Acts of 2012, 01:48:40.260 --> 01:48:44.160 align:middle line:84% it was called for a conveyance of the property from the MBTA 01:48:44.160 --> 01:48:47.280 align:middle line:84% to the Town of Stoughton for fair market value 01:48:47.280 --> 01:48:49.710 align:middle line:84% on the terms consistent with the MBTA's 01:48:49.710 --> 01:48:51.460 align:middle line:90% public offering at the time. 01:48:51.460 --> 01:48:55.620 align:middle line:84% So in 2012, we had these parties in agreement 01:48:55.620 --> 01:48:57.600 align:middle line:90% for fair market value. 01:48:57.600 --> 01:49:02.880 align:middle line:84% Subsequent to that, there were some further negotiations, 01:49:02.880 --> 01:49:05.550 align:middle line:84% and it was determined that the market 01:49:05.550 --> 01:49:07.400 align:middle line:90% value was about $350,000. 01:49:07.400 --> 01:49:12.660 align:middle line:84% And so the town and the MBTA went back and worked on it, 01:49:12.660 --> 01:49:16.230 align:middle line:84% and the MBTA agreed at that time to accept mortgage payments 01:49:16.230 --> 01:49:20.040 align:middle line:84% of $35,000 per year for a period of 10 years 01:49:20.040 --> 01:49:22.620 align:middle line:84% to enable the Town of Stoughton to take control 01:49:22.620 --> 01:49:25.500 align:middle line:90% of this piece of property. 01:49:25.500 --> 01:49:29.700 align:middle line:84% In the fall 2015, the SRA approached 01:49:29.700 --> 01:49:33.360 align:middle line:84% the MBTA about a signed existing purchase and sale agreement 01:49:33.360 --> 01:49:35.050 align:middle line:84% to the Town of Stoughton-- again, 01:49:35.050 --> 01:49:41.610 align:middle line:84% another step taken to move this matter to its conclusion. 01:49:41.610 --> 01:49:45.780 align:middle line:84% In 2015, in November of 2015, the MBTA 01:49:45.780 --> 01:49:48.690 align:middle line:84% facilitated an open house at the site 01:49:48.690 --> 01:49:52.110 align:middle line:84% and enabled Stoughton Town Meeting members and citizens 01:49:52.110 --> 01:49:53.550 align:middle line:90% to inspect the property. 01:49:53.550 --> 01:49:56.670 align:middle line:84% Following the open house, the MBTA 01:49:56.670 --> 01:49:59.100 align:middle line:84% agreed to accept the net present value 01:49:59.100 --> 01:50:05.280 align:middle line:90% of the property of $289,408. 01:50:05.280 --> 01:50:09.430 align:middle line:84% On November 23, 2015, just over two years ago, 01:50:09.430 --> 01:50:12.750 align:middle line:84% Stoughton Town Meeting approved purchase of the Stoughton Depot 01:50:12.750 --> 01:50:15.740 align:middle line:84% with a single payment of $250,000-- 01:50:15.740 --> 01:50:19.440 align:middle line:84% again, just over about two years ago. 01:50:19.440 --> 01:50:25.200 align:middle line:84% Subsequently, in a budget, Chapter 133 the Acts of 2016, 01:50:25.200 --> 01:50:27.600 align:middle line:84% after further negotiation, it was 01:50:27.600 --> 01:50:30.870 align:middle line:84% agreed that the town and the MBTA 01:50:30.870 --> 01:50:35.250 align:middle line:84% would come to an agreement for the purchase price of $175,000. 01:50:35.250 --> 01:50:38.700 align:middle line:84% That's chapter 133 of the Acts of 2016. 01:50:38.700 --> 01:50:41.160 align:middle line:90% So what's happened since then? 01:50:41.160 --> 01:50:44.070 align:middle line:90% Not much, quite frankly. 01:50:44.070 --> 01:50:51.360 align:middle line:84% The MBTA had a proposed purchase and sale agreement. 01:50:51.360 --> 01:50:53.880 align:middle line:84% The MBTA claims that the town has not responded to that. 01:50:53.880 --> 01:50:59.480 align:middle line:84% They provided that draft in May of 2017, less than a year ago. 01:50:59.480 --> 01:51:03.630 align:middle line:84% In May 26, 2017, representatives of the MBTA 01:51:03.630 --> 01:51:05.820 align:middle line:84% and representatives of the town met 01:51:05.820 --> 01:51:09.090 align:middle line:90% at the site, viewed the site. 01:51:09.090 --> 01:51:12.379 align:middle line:84% There was also assistance provided to the town's surveyor 01:51:12.379 --> 01:51:14.670 align:middle line:84% to go in there and get a good sense of what the utility 01:51:14.670 --> 01:51:17.190 align:middle line:90% situation looked like. 01:51:17.190 --> 01:51:19.830 align:middle line:90% That was done. 01:51:19.830 --> 01:51:21.730 align:middle line:84% And the town, since then, has never 01:51:21.730 --> 01:51:23.700 align:middle line:84% provided the MBTA with an updated survey 01:51:23.700 --> 01:51:25.860 align:middle line:90% plan for the site. 01:51:25.860 --> 01:51:28.350 align:middle line:84% The town has never approached the MBTA with any concerns 01:51:28.350 --> 01:51:29.849 align:middle line:84% about the condition of the building, 01:51:29.849 --> 01:51:34.590 align:middle line:84% although my colleague has been very vocal in conveying 01:51:34.590 --> 01:51:36.480 align:middle line:90% what the condition may be. 01:51:36.480 --> 01:51:39.467 align:middle line:84% In October, just a few months ago, the MBTA 01:51:39.467 --> 01:51:41.550 align:middle line:84% sent a letter to the Stoughton Board of Selectmen, 01:51:41.550 --> 01:51:44.250 align:middle line:84% asking them to schedule a vote on the transaction-- again, 01:51:44.250 --> 01:51:47.850 align:middle line:84% the transaction that was agreed upon at $175,000, dollars 01:51:47.850 --> 01:51:50.970 align:middle line:90% after a series of negotiations. 01:51:50.970 --> 01:51:54.450 align:middle line:84% As of this date, while the town has confirmed receipt 01:51:54.450 --> 01:51:57.780 align:middle line:84% of that letter from October of 2017, 01:51:57.780 --> 01:52:02.370 align:middle line:84% the town has not entered into or engaged the MBTA 01:52:02.370 --> 01:52:04.410 align:middle line:90% in any further discussion. 01:52:04.410 --> 01:52:08.790 align:middle line:84% So while the MBTA and the town, on several occasions, have met, 01:52:08.790 --> 01:52:12.210 align:middle line:84% have come together, have reached agreement-- 01:52:12.210 --> 01:52:16.680 align:middle line:84% the most recent one, October 2017-- 01:52:16.680 --> 01:52:20.390 align:middle line:84% since then, the town has not responded to the MBTA. 01:52:20.390 --> 01:52:24.170 align:middle line:84% And we have before us a very well meaning, well intentioned 01:52:24.170 --> 01:52:27.310 align:middle line:84% amendment to try to address that. 01:52:27.310 --> 01:52:30.770 align:middle line:84% But rather than trying to get the parties back to the table, 01:52:30.770 --> 01:52:36.230 align:middle line:84% this would require the MBTA to sell a piece of public property 01:52:36.230 --> 01:52:37.940 align:middle line:90% for $1. 01:52:37.940 --> 01:52:40.700 align:middle line:84% Now, we all know, because many of us 01:52:40.700 --> 01:52:44.000 align:middle line:84% were here when we voted on the Transportation Reform Bill, 01:52:44.000 --> 01:52:47.720 align:middle line:84% that we charged the MBTA with generating their own source 01:52:47.720 --> 01:52:48.920 align:middle line:90% revenue. 01:52:48.920 --> 01:52:51.440 align:middle line:84% We told them that they have an obligation 01:52:51.440 --> 01:52:57.130 align:middle line:84% to go out and address revenue situation on their own, 01:52:57.130 --> 01:52:59.490 align:middle line:84% and they have tried to do it in many different ways-- 01:52:59.490 --> 01:53:02.990 align:middle line:84% some successfully, some unsuccessfully. 01:53:02.990 --> 01:53:05.430 align:middle line:84% They have been very aggressive in promoting advertising 01:53:05.430 --> 01:53:08.780 align:middle line:90% in MBTA trains and on platforms. 01:53:08.780 --> 01:53:11.210 align:middle line:84% They have, as recently as within the last week, 01:53:11.210 --> 01:53:13.670 align:middle line:84% proposed some advertising for the entrance of the subway 01:53:13.670 --> 01:53:18.260 align:middle line:84% stations here in the downtown area of Boston, by Park Street. 01:53:18.260 --> 01:53:20.360 align:middle line:84% So they are doing what they can, because we 01:53:20.360 --> 01:53:24.540 align:middle line:84% have charged them to be responsible with their assets. 01:53:24.540 --> 01:53:28.520 align:middle line:84% We have charged them with being responsible in raising revenue 01:53:28.520 --> 01:53:30.170 align:middle line:90% for the MBTA. 01:53:30.170 --> 01:53:33.300 align:middle line:84% We have charged them, for instance, 01:53:33.300 --> 01:53:35.890 align:middle line:84% to look at transit-oriented development. 01:53:35.890 --> 01:53:39.410 align:middle line:84% And in the context of all of that, 01:53:39.410 --> 01:53:43.910 align:middle line:84% here we are perhaps setting a precedent, whereby legislation 01:53:43.910 --> 01:53:46.410 align:middle line:84% we go the opposite direction, and say, 01:53:46.410 --> 01:53:48.990 align:middle line:84% there's a building that the parties agree 01:53:48.990 --> 01:53:53.260 align:middle line:84% to is worth $175,000, and agreed to that fairly recently, 01:53:53.260 --> 01:53:55.640 align:middle line:84% and saying that the MBTA, on behalf 01:53:55.640 --> 01:53:57.830 align:middle line:84% of the taxpayers of the Commonwealth, 01:53:57.830 --> 01:54:03.200 align:middle line:84% will forego that $175,000 and convey the property for $1. 01:54:03.200 --> 01:54:06.170 align:middle line:84% Well, all our cities and towns, particularly 01:54:06.170 --> 01:54:08.930 align:middle line:84% those in the MBTA district, are soon 01:54:08.930 --> 01:54:10.820 align:middle line:84% going to get their cherry sheets. 01:54:10.820 --> 01:54:14.030 align:middle line:84% And they are going to get their MBTA assessments. 01:54:14.030 --> 01:54:17.360 align:middle line:84% And I'm not suggesting that this particular item will impact 01:54:17.360 --> 01:54:19.630 align:middle line:90% those assessments, but if-- 01:54:19.630 --> 01:54:20.130 align:middle line:90% [GAVEL] 01:54:20.130 --> 01:54:23.750 align:middle line:84% Excuse me, can we lower our conversations? 01:54:23.750 --> 01:54:26.500 align:middle line:84% What the gentleman's saying is very important in this debate, 01:54:26.500 --> 01:54:28.940 align:middle line:84% as it was for the other gentleman. 01:54:28.940 --> 01:54:32.030 align:middle line:90% Please listen carefully. 01:54:32.030 --> 01:54:33.410 align:middle line:90% Thank you, Madam President. 01:54:33.410 --> 01:54:36.044 align:middle line:84% But as they get those assessments-- 01:54:36.044 --> 01:54:37.460 align:middle line:84% and I observed at the local level, 01:54:37.460 --> 01:54:40.400 align:middle line:84% every time you get it, you say, how come my assessment went up? 01:54:40.400 --> 01:54:42.740 align:middle line:84% Well, if we do these types of things, 01:54:42.740 --> 01:54:45.470 align:middle line:84% where we convey valuable state property-- 01:54:45.470 --> 01:54:49.900 align:middle line:84% and maybe valuable's a relative term-- $175,000, $375,000. 01:54:49.900 --> 01:54:55.880 align:middle line:84% But $175,000 of taxpayer value for $1-- 01:54:55.880 --> 01:54:57.920 align:middle line:84% the cumulative effect of those types of actions 01:54:57.920 --> 01:55:00.980 align:middle line:84% will be that all of us will pay for this in our cherry sheet 01:55:00.980 --> 01:55:02.300 align:middle line:90% assessments. 01:55:02.300 --> 01:55:05.480 align:middle line:84% So Madam President, this sets a precedent 01:55:05.480 --> 01:55:08.930 align:middle line:84% that runs contrary to what we have traditionally done here 01:55:08.930 --> 01:55:09.860 align:middle line:90% in the Senate. 01:55:09.860 --> 01:55:13.160 align:middle line:84% And I close with, again, commending my colleague 01:55:13.160 --> 01:55:16.217 align:middle line:84% from Milton and our shared town of Braintree for his advocacy 01:55:16.217 --> 01:55:17.300 align:middle line:90% on behalf of his district. 01:55:17.300 --> 01:55:20.210 align:middle line:90% He is tireless in that regard. 01:55:20.210 --> 01:55:22.400 align:middle line:84% But I think that that advocacy comes up 01:55:22.400 --> 01:55:25.100 align:middle line:84% against established precedence here that we 01:55:25.100 --> 01:55:27.950 align:middle line:84% don't want to bypass, because we find ourselves going down 01:55:27.950 --> 01:55:28.710 align:middle line:90% a slippery slope. 01:55:28.710 --> 01:55:30.293 align:middle line:84% So for those reasons, Madam President, 01:55:30.293 --> 01:55:31.760 align:middle line:90% I urge that my members vote no. 01:55:31.760 --> 01:55:34.575 align:middle line:90% Thank you. 01:55:34.575 --> 01:55:35.545 align:middle line:90% Madam President? 01:55:35.545 --> 01:55:37.000 align:middle line:90% Senator from Norfolk. 01:55:37.000 --> 01:55:38.455 align:middle line:90% Senator from Norfolk. 01:55:38.455 --> 01:55:42.329 align:middle line:90% 01:55:42.329 --> 01:55:44.870 align:middle line:84% Thank you, Madam President, and, through you, to the members. 01:55:44.870 --> 01:55:47.649 align:middle line:84% And to my dear friend from Quincy, 01:55:47.649 --> 01:55:49.190 align:middle line:84% thank you very much for your remarks, 01:55:49.190 --> 01:55:52.230 align:middle line:84% and for giving Speaker Pelosi's recent filibuster 01:55:52.230 --> 01:55:56.470 align:middle line:90% a run for its money. 01:55:56.470 --> 01:55:59.560 align:middle line:84% On a very serious note, Madam President, 01:55:59.560 --> 01:56:03.250 align:middle line:84% are two fundamental points, number one being, 01:56:03.250 --> 01:56:05.210 align:middle line:84% when you speak to economic development, 01:56:05.210 --> 01:56:10.420 align:middle line:84% the MBTA has had no plans for this asset for decades-- 01:56:10.420 --> 01:56:12.430 align:middle line:90% number one. 01:56:12.430 --> 01:56:17.590 align:middle line:84% A great potential revenue raiser has lain dormant for decades-- 01:56:17.590 --> 01:56:19.690 align:middle line:84% number one, when you talk about the MBTA being 01:56:19.690 --> 01:56:22.010 align:middle line:90% charged with raising revenues. 01:56:22.010 --> 01:56:24.010 align:middle line:84% Number two, the reason why the Town of Stoughton 01:56:24.010 --> 01:56:26.320 align:middle line:84% has not addressed this issue recently with the MBTA 01:56:26.320 --> 01:56:29.770 align:middle line:84% is because they are awaiting legislative action, 01:56:29.770 --> 01:56:32.640 align:middle line:84% and the House has taken legislative action. 01:56:32.640 --> 01:56:35.340 align:middle line:84% They have enacted legislation within the confines 01:56:35.340 --> 01:56:37.350 align:middle line:84% of their bond bill, handing this over 01:56:37.350 --> 01:56:40.280 align:middle line:84% to the Town of Stoughton for $1, so that Stoughton 01:56:40.280 --> 01:56:44.050 align:middle line:84% may both serve T riders with an amenity 01:56:44.050 --> 01:56:45.550 align:middle line:84% and generate revenue for the town. 01:56:45.550 --> 01:56:47.430 align:middle line:90% Thank you very much. 01:56:47.430 --> 01:56:50.250 align:middle line:90% 01:56:50.250 --> 01:56:51.200 align:middle line:90% All right. 01:56:51.200 --> 01:56:54.570 align:middle line:84% The question now comes on adopting the amendment. 01:56:54.570 --> 01:56:56.340 align:middle line:90% All those in favor, say aye. 01:56:56.340 --> 01:56:58.280 align:middle line:90% Opposed, no. 01:56:58.280 --> 01:57:01.130 align:middle line:84% The nos have it, and the Ways and Means amendment 01:57:01.130 --> 01:57:04.006 align:middle line:90% is not adopted. 01:57:04.006 --> 01:57:05.443 align:middle line:90% Pardon me? 01:57:05.443 --> 01:57:06.401 align:middle line:90% [INAUDIBLE] 01:57:06.401 --> 01:57:10.240 align:middle line:90% 01:57:10.240 --> 01:57:16.200 align:middle line:84% Number 42 by Senators Timilty and Feeney 01:57:16.200 --> 01:57:20.400 align:middle line:84% from Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth and Bristol and Norfolk. 01:57:20.400 --> 01:57:22.970 align:middle line:84% The clerk will read the amendment. 01:57:22.970 --> 01:57:26.880 align:middle line:84% Amendment number 42 by Senators Timilty and Feeney, Sharon Land 01:57:26.880 --> 01:57:29.910 align:middle line:90% Conveyance. 01:57:29.910 --> 01:57:32.440 align:middle
