She's back

She’s back …
How come when you think a piece of state legislation is
dead in the water, somehow it always seems to makes
it’s way back to the surface.
That’s what happened last week at the State House in
Boston when Senate Bill 1439, The Huster Bill, had a
Public Hearing.
Bill 1439 was presented last year by State Senator Steven
Baddour and with the support of North Andover State
Representatives, David Torrisi and Barbara L’Italien.
The bill was initially referred to the Public Service
Committee on January 10, 2007.
As reported in The Valley Patriot previously, this bill
was written so that former North Andover School Committee
member Diane Huster could apply for retirement benefits
with the Essex Regional Retirement System and receive a
state pension (golden parachute?) for her 18 years on the
North Andover School Committee.
When Huster was a school committee member for those 18
years, she failed to apply for these benefits and now is
looking for a second bite at the apple.
We will keep you informed as to how far the bill gets
this time. After it was referred to Committee on Public
Service last year, it sat until finally, there was a
hearing on it last week.
We will inform you of the recommendation of the Committee
to the full Senate and House and if there are any votes
on the
Bill.
