iquestQueacute pasoacute con elgobierno del pueblopor el pueblo y parael pueblo Escribo esta parte de mi columna en
el 207vordm aniversario del nacimiento de
Abraham Lincoln Cada mes de febrero
se celebra el nacimiento de Lincoln y
Washington Washington es maacutes recordado
por el derrocamiento de un gobierno
opresor y tiraacutenico en el que la gente no teniacutea
representacioacuten El mejor recordado discurso
de Lincoln es el Discurso de Gettysburg
el cual nos recuerda que al menos en este
paiacutes nuestro gobierno debe responder a las
personas de las que recibe su autoridad El discurso de Gettysburg fue
apresuradamente escrito y presentado en tan
soacutelo unos pocos minutos El discurso que
auacuten perdura como la mejor retoacuterica poliacutetica
estadounidense terminoacute con estas pocas
palabras que el gobierno del pueblo por
el pueblo y para el pueblo no desapareceraacute
de la tierrardquo En eacutesta corta frase Lincoln
se hace eco del lenguaje de nuestra
Constitucioacuten y nos recuerda que nuestro
gobierno es creado por nosotros para servir
a los Estados Unidos Hace doscientos antildeos
la misma idea que el gobierno debe servir a
la gente y no al rey fue revolucionaria Por lo tanto el Sr Lincoln y el Sr
Washington por favor quiero pedir
disculpas a ustedes en su cumpleantildeos por el
comportamiento vergonzoso que se ve en
Lawrence hoy Lawrence se ha olvidado de
los sacricios de nuestros antepasados para
crear un gobierno que nos representa En su
lugar elegimos a las personas cuyo intereacutes
no es en servir pero en servirse a siacute mismos
Son demasiados los funcionarios elegidos
que ven su eleccioacuten para un cargo como un
trampoliacuten para obtener maacutes poder o un salario
maacutes alto y no como una oportunidad para
ayudar a los maacutes deacutebiles Cualquier benecio
que recibimos de su trabajo es secundario a
su auto-promocioacuten Nuestros funcionarios
elegidos en su prisa por obtener estipendios
realizar conexiones poliacuteticas se les paga sin
trabajar viajan a costa nuestra entran encontratos puacuteblicos con las organizaciones
en cuyas juntas directivas una vez estaban
sentados contratan a sus trabajadores de
campantildea despiden a sus enemigos de sus
empleos otorgan estacionamiento gratuito en
lotes de la ciudad y en las calles abusan de sus
credenciales de estacionamiento en el auto se
van de compras por un vehiacuteculo nuevo durante
las horas de trabajo y otorgan privilegios
inmerecidos a sus amigos y aliados se olvidan
de que trabajan para nosotros
El reciente artiacuteculo exponiendo elRegistro de Propiedades (Registry ofDeeds) conrma que nuestros funcionarios
elegidos se olvidan de mantener el
juramento de su cargo y violan la conanza puacuteblica Una historia tras otra escuchamosde las personas no cualicadas que son
puestas en trabajos que no merecentrabajadores de campantildea que se parqueande forma gratuita trabajos adjudicados alos amigos sin publicarlos o competencialos empleados que trabajan como maestrosdurante las horas en que se les paga a trabajar para la ciudad Muchas historias auacuten no sehan reportado historias de concejales que
tienen sus gastos de remolque de autos
perdonados mientras que los ciudadanosque los eligieron deben pagar ellos A pesarde existir fotografiacuteas e informes ningunorecibe disciplina Cuando nos quejamosnuestros funcionarios le dicen al mundoque nos quejamos porque queremos que lasviejas formas corruptas vuelvan Asiacute que Sr Lincoln y Sr Washingtondeacutejenme decirles no hay viejas formascorruptas para volver La corrupcioacuten nuncase fue Todaviacutea estaacute aquiacute y peor que nuncaHoy en diacutea es cubierta de azuacutecar tapada por la benevolencia y escondida detraacutesde los comunicados de prensa positivosSu exposicioacuten se suprime en los mediosde comunicacioacuten cuando los funcionarioselectos intercambian publicidad pagada
por prensa positiva y los medios decomunicacioacuten guardan silencio Y por estos ejemplos desvergonzadosde auto-negociacioacuten y auto-promocioacuten noculpar a nuestros funcionarios elegidosiexclCuacutelpennos a nosotros Nos falta elcoraje y la determinacioacuten de luchar por elgobierno por y para la gente que nos handejado No vamos a votar en grandesnuacutemeros Cuando algunos de nosotrosdeciden recuperar nuestro gobierno a traveacutesde remover a nuestros funcionarios muy pocos de nosotros estamos dispuestos arespaldarlos y apoyarlos puacuteblicamente El alcalde sabe que ya no representa ala mayoriacutea de la gente Dejoacute de trabajar para

Tal es el caso con el rumor de que la proacutexima reunioacuten ante la Junta de Registrode Votantes no seraacute televisada o mostrada

que es cuestioacuten de queacute departamento va a pagar por el costo de televisarlo iexclEso eslo uacuteltimo que necesitamos en LawrenceCensura de prensa
He estado solicitando copias de la

Todo lo que se haga para manipular las listas

If youre not close toretirement age its easyto ignore what SocialSecurity is doingHowever some sig-nicant announcements
late last year make now
a very good time to payattention
What follows is a summary of notable
changes to Social Security at the start of 2016
and ways to ensure youre making the right
retirement planning and claiming (http
wwwconsumernancegovretirement
before-you-claim) decisions based on
whats ahead
1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets
5 Service changes If you haventcreated a My Social Security accountdo so for two reasons First there have been reports of ID theft related to thievesattempting fraudulent signups for suchaccounts Second the agency is making
more detailed account data available onlinesuch as estimates of monthly payments atvarious claiming ages Also Social Securityexpanded ofce hours in some of its eld
locations in 2015 so if you need face-to-face assistance check hours of operation at
your closest local ofce (httpssecuressa
govICONmainjsp)
Bottom line Social Security froze benet
amounts for the coming year and thathas an impact on both current and futurerecipients You cant fully understand yourretirement without understanding howSocial Security works so nows the time to
learn

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

iquestQueacute pasoacute con elgobierno del pueblopor el pueblo y parael pueblo Escribo esta parte de mi columna en
el 207vordm aniversario del nacimiento de
Abraham Lincoln Cada mes de febrero
se celebra el nacimiento de Lincoln y
Washington Washington es maacutes recordado
por el derrocamiento de un gobierno
opresor y tiraacutenico en el que la gente no teniacutea
representacioacuten El mejor recordado discurso
de Lincoln es el Discurso de Gettysburg
el cual nos recuerda que al menos en este
paiacutes nuestro gobierno debe responder a las
personas de las que recibe su autoridad El discurso de Gettysburg fue
apresuradamente escrito y presentado en tan
soacutelo unos pocos minutos El discurso que
auacuten perdura como la mejor retoacuterica poliacutetica
estadounidense terminoacute con estas pocas
palabras que el gobierno del pueblo por
el pueblo y para el pueblo no desapareceraacute
de la tierrardquo En eacutesta corta frase Lincoln
se hace eco del lenguaje de nuestra
Constitucioacuten y nos recuerda que nuestro
gobierno es creado por nosotros para servir
a los Estados Unidos Hace doscientos antildeos
la misma idea que el gobierno debe servir a
la gente y no al rey fue revolucionaria Por lo tanto el Sr Lincoln y el Sr
Washington por favor quiero pedir
disculpas a ustedes en su cumpleantildeos por el
comportamiento vergonzoso que se ve en
Lawrence hoy Lawrence se ha olvidado de
los sacricios de nuestros antepasados para
crear un gobierno que nos representa En su
lugar elegimos a las personas cuyo intereacutes
no es en servir pero en servirse a siacute mismos
Son demasiados los funcionarios elegidos
que ven su eleccioacuten para un cargo como un
trampoliacuten para obtener maacutes poder o un salario
maacutes alto y no como una oportunidad para
ayudar a los maacutes deacutebiles Cualquier benecio
que recibimos de su trabajo es secundario a
su auto-promocioacuten Nuestros funcionarios
elegidos en su prisa por obtener estipendios
realizar conexiones poliacuteticas se les paga sin
trabajar viajan a costa nuestra entran encontratos puacuteblicos con las organizaciones
en cuyas juntas directivas una vez estaban
sentados contratan a sus trabajadores de

empleos otorgan estacionamiento gratuito en
lotes de la ciudad y en las calles abusan de sus
credenciales de estacionamiento en el auto se
van de compras por un vehiacuteculo nuevo durante
las horas de trabajo y otorgan privilegios
inmerecidos a sus amigos y aliados se olvidan
de que trabajan para nosotros
El reciente artiacuteculo exponiendo elRegistro de Propiedades (Registry ofDeeds) conrma que nuestros funcionarios
elegidos se olvidan de mantener el
juramento de su cargo y violan la conanza puacuteblica Una historia tras otra escuchamosde las personas no cualicadas que son
puestas en trabajos que no merecentrabajadores de campantildea que se parqueande forma gratuita trabajos adjudicados alos amigos sin publicarlos o competencialos empleados que trabajan como maestrosdurante las horas en que se les paga a trabajar para la ciudad Muchas historias auacuten no sehan reportado historias de concejales que

Si usted no estaacute cerca
de la edad de jubilacioacuten
es faacutecil ignorar loque estaacute haciendo
la Seguridad SocialSin embargo algunosanuncios importantesrecientes del antildeo pasado
hacen que ahora sea un buen momento para prestar atencioacuten
Lo que sigue es un resumen de loscambios notables de Seguridad Social en elinicio de 2016 y las maneras de asegurarsede que estaacute tomando las decisiones correctas para la planicacioacuten y el reclamo de la
jubilacioacuten (httpwwwconsumernance
govretirementbefore-you-claim) en base
a lo que se avecina
1 Los pagos de Seguridad Social de
2016 no aumentaraacuten A nales de octubre
Seguridad Social (httpswwwssagovmyaccount) anuncioacute que no habiacutea suciente
inacioacuten en 2015 para crear un ajuste por
costo de vida (COLA por su sigla en ingleacutes)
para los benecios mensuales de este antildeo
Comprensiblemente este anuncio sacudioacutea los destinatarios que ven a SeguridadSocial como una parte signicativa de sus
ingresos mensuales Es soacutelo la tercera vezen la que los pagos se congelaron en losuacuteltimos 40 antildeos desde que comenzaron losajustes automaacuteticos COLA pero aquiacute estaacute el problema las tres ocasiones se produjerondespueacutes de 2010 En resumen la mayoriacutea
de las personas mayores tendraacuten que vivircon un pago promedio mensual de $ 1341con los beneciarios casados recibiendo un
total de $ 2212
2 Las personas casadas y divorciadas
pueden tener que repensar la forma en
que reclaman benefcios Tambieacuten enoctubre pasado Washington establecioacuteuna batalla por el presupuesto federal en parte para cerrar algunas lagunas notablesen la ley de Seguridad Social que permitiacuteaque ciertas parejas casadas aumentaransustancialmente sus benecios en el
tiempo y que ciertas personas divorciadasreclamaran benecios de ex-coacutenyuges en
determinadas circunstancias Estas nuevasrestricciones a las estrategias llamadasldquosolicitar y suspenderrdquo (ldquole and suspendrdquo)
y reclamo restringido entraraacuten en vigorel proacuteximo mes de mayo En resumen
si estaacute cerca de los 62 antildeos (la edad maacutestemprana que puede empezar a reclamar los
benecios de Seguridad Social) obtenerasesoramiento calicado nunca ha sido maacutes
importante
3 Otras cuestiones relacionadas con
COLA Cuando no hay ajuste por costode vida no hay cambio en la cantidadmaacutexima de ganancias sujetas al impuestode Seguridad Social que se quedaraacute en$ 118500 en 2016 Esto signica que
las ganancias por encima de ese nivel noestaacuten sujetas a la parte de Seguridad Socialdel impuesto sobre la noacutemina o se utiliza para calcular los pagos de jubilacioacuten Almismo tiempo el liacutemite de ingresos deSeguridad Social para las personas quetrabajan y reclaman pagos de SeguridadSocial se quedaraacute en $ 15720 en el antildeo2016 para las personas de 65 y menores Alos beneciarios de Seguridad Social que
ganan maacutes de esta cantidad se les retendraacute$1 en benecios temporalmente por cada
$2 de ganancias por encima del liacutemite
4 Algunos benefcios estaacuten bajando
un poco El pago maacutes alto posible deSeguridad Social para un trabajador de 66antildeos de edad que se inscriba en SeguridadSocial este antildeo seraacute $ 2639 por mes menos$ 24 de los $ 2663 del antildeo 2015 iquestLarazoacuten Seguridad Social sentildealoacute que a pesarde ninguacuten ajuste por costo de la vida se produjo un aumento en el iacutendice nacional
de salario promedio uno de los postesindicadores estadiacutesticos que el organismoutiliza para calcular los benecios
5 Cambios de servicio Si no ha creadouna cuenta de Mi Seguridad Social haacutegalo por dos razones En primer lugar ha habidoreportes de robo de identidad relacionadoscon ladrones que intentan inscripcionesfraudulentas para dichas cuentas Ensegundo lugar la agencia puso a disposicioacutenen liacutenea datos de la cuenta maacutes detalladoscomo estimaciones de los pagos mensualesde diversas edades de reclamo AdemaacutesSeguridad Social amplioacute el horario deocina en algunas de sus ocinas de campo

If youre not close toretirement age its easyto ignore what SocialSecurity is doingHowever some sig-nicant announcements
late last year make now
a very good time to payattention
What follows is a summary of notable
changes to Social Security at the start of 2016
and ways to ensure youre making the right
retirement planning and claiming (http
wwwconsumernancegovretirement
before-you-claim) decisions based on
whats ahead
1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets
5 Service changes If you haventcreated a My Social Security accountdo so for two reasons First there have been reports of ID theft related to thievesattempting fraudulent signups for suchaccounts Second the agency is making
more detailed account data available onlinesuch as estimates of monthly payments atvarious claiming ages Also Social Securityexpanded ofce hours in some of its eld
locations in 2015 so if you need face-to-face assistance check hours of operation at
your closest local ofce (httpssecuressa
govICONmainjsp)
Bottom line Social Security froze benet
amounts for the coming year and thathas an impact on both current and futurerecipients You cant fully understand yourretirement without understanding howSocial Security works so nows the time to
learn
This article is intended to provide
general information and should not be
considered legal tax or nancial advice
Its always a good idea to consult a tax or
nancial advisor for specic information
on how certain laws apply to your situation
and about your individual nancial
situation

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

por el derrocamiento de un gobierno
opresor y tiraacutenico en el que la gente no teniacutea

de Lincoln es el Discurso de Gettysburg
el cual nos recuerda que al menos en este
paiacutes nuestro gobierno debe responder a las
personas de las que recibe su autoridad El discurso de Gettysburg fue
apresuradamente escrito y presentado en tan
soacutelo unos pocos minutos El discurso que
auacuten perdura como la mejor retoacuterica poliacutetica
estadounidense terminoacute con estas pocas
palabras que el gobierno del pueblo por
el pueblo y para el pueblo no desapareceraacute
de la tierrardquo En eacutesta corta frase Lincoln
se hace eco del lenguaje de nuestra
Constitucioacuten y nos recuerda que nuestro
gobierno es creado por nosotros para servir
a los Estados Unidos Hace doscientos antildeos
la misma idea que el gobierno debe servir a
la gente y no al rey fue revolucionaria Por lo tanto el Sr Lincoln y el Sr
Washington por favor quiero pedir
disculpas a ustedes en su cumpleantildeos por el
comportamiento vergonzoso que se ve en
Lawrence hoy Lawrence se ha olvidado de
los sacricios de nuestros antepasados para
crear un gobierno que nos representa En su
lugar elegimos a las personas cuyo intereacutes
no es en servir pero en servirse a siacute mismos
Son demasiados los funcionarios elegidos
que ven su eleccioacuten para un cargo como un
trampoliacuten para obtener maacutes poder o un salario
maacutes alto y no como una oportunidad para
ayudar a los maacutes deacutebiles Cualquier benecio
que recibimos de su trabajo es secundario a

inmerecidos a sus amigos y aliados se olvidan
de que trabajan para nosotros
El reciente artiacuteculo exponiendo elRegistro de Propiedades (Registry ofDeeds) conrma que nuestros funcionarios

Si usted no estaacute cerca
de la edad de jubilacioacuten
es faacutecil ignorar loque estaacute haciendo
la Seguridad SocialSin embargo algunosanuncios importantesrecientes del antildeo pasado
hacen que ahora sea un buen momento para prestar atencioacuten
Lo que sigue es un resumen de loscambios notables de Seguridad Social en elinicio de 2016 y las maneras de asegurarsede que estaacute tomando las decisiones correctas para la planicacioacuten y el reclamo de la
jubilacioacuten (httpwwwconsumernance
govretirementbefore-you-claim) en base
a lo que se avecina
1 Los pagos de Seguridad Social de
2016 no aumentaraacuten A nales de octubre
Seguridad Social (httpswwwssagovmyaccount) anuncioacute que no habiacutea suciente
inacioacuten en 2015 para crear un ajuste por
costo de vida (COLA por su sigla en ingleacutes)
para los benecios mensuales de este antildeo
Comprensiblemente este anuncio sacudioacutea los destinatarios que ven a SeguridadSocial como una parte signicativa de sus
ingresos mensuales Es soacutelo la tercera vezen la que los pagos se congelaron en losuacuteltimos 40 antildeos desde que comenzaron losajustes automaacuteticos COLA pero aquiacute estaacute el problema las tres ocasiones se produjerondespueacutes de 2010 En resumen la mayoriacutea
de las personas mayores tendraacuten que vivircon un pago promedio mensual de $ 1341con los beneciarios casados recibiendo un
total de $ 2212
2 Las personas casadas y divorciadas
pueden tener que repensar la forma en
que reclaman benefcios Tambieacuten enoctubre pasado Washington establecioacuteuna batalla por el presupuesto federal en parte para cerrar algunas lagunas notablesen la ley de Seguridad Social que permitiacuteaque ciertas parejas casadas aumentaransustancialmente sus benecios en el
tiempo y que ciertas personas divorciadasreclamaran benecios de ex-coacutenyuges en
determinadas circunstancias Estas nuevasrestricciones a las estrategias llamadasldquosolicitar y suspenderrdquo (ldquole and suspendrdquo)
y reclamo restringido entraraacuten en vigorel proacuteximo mes de mayo En resumen
si estaacute cerca de los 62 antildeos (la edad maacutestemprana que puede empezar a reclamar los
benecios de Seguridad Social) obtenerasesoramiento calicado nunca ha sido maacutes
importante
3 Otras cuestiones relacionadas con
COLA Cuando no hay ajuste por costode vida no hay cambio en la cantidadmaacutexima de ganancias sujetas al impuestode Seguridad Social que se quedaraacute en$ 118500 en 2016 Esto signica que
las ganancias por encima de ese nivel noestaacuten sujetas a la parte de Seguridad Socialdel impuesto sobre la noacutemina o se utiliza para calcular los pagos de jubilacioacuten Almismo tiempo el liacutemite de ingresos deSeguridad Social para las personas quetrabajan y reclaman pagos de SeguridadSocial se quedaraacute en $ 15720 en el antildeo2016 para las personas de 65 y menores Alos beneciarios de Seguridad Social que
ganan maacutes de esta cantidad se les retendraacute$1 en benecios temporalmente por cada
$2 de ganancias por encima del liacutemite
4 Algunos benefcios estaacuten bajando
un poco El pago maacutes alto posible deSeguridad Social para un trabajador de 66antildeos de edad que se inscriba en SeguridadSocial este antildeo seraacute $ 2639 por mes menos$ 24 de los $ 2663 del antildeo 2015 iquestLarazoacuten Seguridad Social sentildealoacute que a pesarde ninguacuten ajuste por costo de la vida se produjo un aumento en el iacutendice nacional
de salario promedio uno de los postesindicadores estadiacutesticos que el organismoutiliza para calcular los benecios
5 Cambios de servicio Si no ha creadouna cuenta de Mi Seguridad Social haacutegalo por dos razones En primer lugar ha habidoreportes de robo de identidad relacionadoscon ladrones que intentan inscripcionesfraudulentas para dichas cuentas Ensegundo lugar la agencia puso a disposicioacutenen liacutenea datos de la cuenta maacutes detalladoscomo estimaciones de los pagos mensualesde diversas edades de reclamo AdemaacutesSeguridad Social amplioacute el horario deocina en algunas de sus ocinas de campo

If youre not close toretirement age its easyto ignore what SocialSecurity is doingHowever some sig-nicant announcements
late last year make now
a very good time to payattention
What follows is a summary of notable
changes to Social Security at the start of 2016
and ways to ensure youre making the right
retirement planning and claiming (http
wwwconsumernancegovretirement
before-you-claim) decisions based on
whats ahead
1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets
5 Service changes If you haventcreated a My Social Security accountdo so for two reasons First there have been reports of ID theft related to thievesattempting fraudulent signups for suchaccounts Second the agency is making
more detailed account data available onlinesuch as estimates of monthly payments atvarious claiming ages Also Social Securityexpanded ofce hours in some of its eld
locations in 2015 so if you need face-to-face assistance check hours of operation at
your closest local ofce (httpssecuressa
govICONmainjsp)
Bottom line Social Security froze benet
amounts for the coming year and thathas an impact on both current and futurerecipients You cant fully understand yourretirement without understanding howSocial Security works so nows the time to
learn

general information and should not be

nancial advisor for specic information

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

energy rates for Haverhill residents particularly through the use of solar Vargaswill look to work with civic organizations
neighborhood groups and other key
stakeholders to disseminate information on
the economic benets and opportunities of
residents going solar On economic development one of thekey action items will be to work closely
with Economic Development Director BillPillsbury and Mass Development to clearlyidentify and market Haverhill commercial
and industrial properties One of the barriers to promoting Haverhill as a strongcandidate for a prospective business is thelack of easy access to information such as
a catalog of all commercial and industrial properties

Si usted no estaacute cerca
de la edad de jubilacioacuten
es faacutecil ignorar loque estaacute haciendo
la Seguridad SocialSin embargo algunosanuncios importantesrecientes del antildeo pasado
hacen que ahora sea un buen momento para prestar atencioacuten
Lo que sigue es un resumen de loscambios notables de Seguridad Social en elinicio de 2016 y las maneras de asegurarsede que estaacute tomando las decisiones correctas para la planicacioacuten y el reclamo de la
jubilacioacuten (httpwwwconsumernance
govretirementbefore-you-claim) en base
a lo que se avecina
1 Los pagos de Seguridad Social de
2016 no aumentaraacuten A nales de octubre
Seguridad Social (httpswwwssagovmyaccount) anuncioacute que no habiacutea suciente
inacioacuten en 2015 para crear un ajuste por
costo de vida (COLA por su sigla en ingleacutes)
para los benecios mensuales de este antildeo
Comprensiblemente este anuncio sacudioacutea los destinatarios que ven a SeguridadSocial como una parte signicativa de sus
ingresos mensuales Es soacutelo la tercera vezen la que los pagos se congelaron en losuacuteltimos 40 antildeos desde que comenzaron losajustes automaacuteticos COLA pero aquiacute estaacute el problema las tres ocasiones se produjerondespueacutes de 2010 En resumen la mayoriacutea
de las personas mayores tendraacuten que vivircon un pago promedio mensual de $ 1341con los beneciarios casados recibiendo un
total de $ 2212
2 Las personas casadas y divorciadas
pueden tener que repensar la forma en
que reclaman benefcios Tambieacuten enoctubre pasado Washington establecioacuteuna batalla por el presupuesto federal en parte para cerrar algunas lagunas notablesen la ley de Seguridad Social que permitiacuteaque ciertas parejas casadas aumentaransustancialmente sus benecios en el
tiempo y que ciertas personas divorciadasreclamaran benecios de ex-coacutenyuges en
determinadas circunstancias Estas nuevasrestricciones a las estrategias llamadasldquosolicitar y suspenderrdquo (ldquole and suspendrdquo)
y reclamo restringido entraraacuten en vigorel proacuteximo mes de mayo En resumen
si estaacute cerca de los 62 antildeos (la edad maacutestemprana que puede empezar a reclamar los
benecios de Seguridad Social) obtenerasesoramiento calicado nunca ha sido maacutes
importante
3 Otras cuestiones relacionadas con
COLA Cuando no hay ajuste por costode vida no hay cambio en la cantidadmaacutexima de ganancias sujetas al impuestode Seguridad Social que se quedaraacute en$ 118500 en 2016 Esto signica que
las ganancias por encima de ese nivel noestaacuten sujetas a la parte de Seguridad Socialdel impuesto sobre la noacutemina o se utiliza para calcular los pagos de jubilacioacuten Almismo tiempo el liacutemite de ingresos deSeguridad Social para las personas quetrabajan y reclaman pagos de SeguridadSocial se quedaraacute en $ 15720 en el antildeo2016 para las personas de 65 y menores Alos beneciarios de Seguridad Social que
ganan maacutes de esta cantidad se les retendraacute$1 en benecios temporalmente por cada
$2 de ganancias por encima del liacutemite
4 Algunos benefcios estaacuten bajando
un poco El pago maacutes alto posible deSeguridad Social para un trabajador de 66antildeos de edad que se inscriba en SeguridadSocial este antildeo seraacute $ 2639 por mes menos$ 24 de los $ 2663 del antildeo 2015 iquestLarazoacuten Seguridad Social sentildealoacute que a pesarde ninguacuten ajuste por costo de la vida se produjo un aumento en el iacutendice nacional
de salario promedio uno de los postesindicadores estadiacutesticos que el organismoutiliza para calcular los benecios
5 Cambios de servicio Si no ha creadouna cuenta de Mi Seguridad Social haacutegalo por dos razones En primer lugar ha habidoreportes de robo de identidad relacionadoscon ladrones que intentan inscripcionesfraudulentas para dichas cuentas Ensegundo lugar la agencia puso a disposicioacutenen liacutenea datos de la cuenta maacutes detalladoscomo estimaciones de los pagos mensualesde diversas edades de reclamo AdemaacutesSeguridad Social amplioacute el horario deocina en algunas de sus ocinas de campo

If youre not close toretirement age its easyto ignore what SocialSecurity is doingHowever some sig-nicant announcements
late last year make now
a very good time to payattention
What follows is a summary of notable
changes to Social Security at the start of 2016
and ways to ensure youre making the right
retirement planning and claiming (http
wwwconsumernancegovretirement
before-you-claim) decisions based on
whats ahead
1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets
5 Service changes If you haventcreated a My Social Security accountdo so for two reasons First there have been reports of ID theft related to thievesattempting fraudulent signups for suchaccounts Second the agency is making
more detailed account data available onlinesuch as estimates of monthly payments atvarious claiming ages Also Social Securityexpanded ofce hours in some of its eld
locations in 2015 so if you need face-to-face assistance check hours of operation at
your closest local ofce (httpssecuressa
govICONmainjsp)
Bottom line Social Security froze benet
amounts for the coming year and thathas an impact on both current and futurerecipients You cant fully understand yourretirement without understanding howSocial Security works so nows the time to
learn
This article is intended to provide
general information and should not be
considered legal tax or nancial advice
Its always a good idea to consult a tax or
nancial advisor for specic information
on how certain laws apply to your situation
and about your individual nancial
situation

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

Si usted no estaacute cerca
de la edad de jubilacioacuten
es faacutecil ignorar loque estaacute haciendo
la Seguridad SocialSin embargo algunosanuncios importantesrecientes del antildeo pasado
hacen que ahora sea un buen momento para prestar atencioacuten
Lo que sigue es un resumen de loscambios notables de Seguridad Social en elinicio de 2016 y las maneras de asegurarsede que estaacute tomando las decisiones correctas para la planicacioacuten y el reclamo de la
jubilacioacuten (httpwwwconsumernance
govretirementbefore-you-claim) en base
a lo que se avecina
1 Los pagos de Seguridad Social de
2016 no aumentaraacuten A nales de octubre
Seguridad Social (httpswwwssagovmyaccount) anuncioacute que no habiacutea suciente
inacioacuten en 2015 para crear un ajuste por
costo de vida (COLA por su sigla en ingleacutes)
para los benecios mensuales de este antildeo
Comprensiblemente este anuncio sacudioacutea los destinatarios que ven a SeguridadSocial como una parte signicativa de sus
ingresos mensuales Es soacutelo la tercera vezen la que los pagos se congelaron en losuacuteltimos 40 antildeos desde que comenzaron losajustes automaacuteticos COLA pero aquiacute estaacute el problema las tres ocasiones se produjerondespueacutes de 2010 En resumen la mayoriacutea
de las personas mayores tendraacuten que vivircon un pago promedio mensual de $ 1341con los beneciarios casados recibiendo un
total de $ 2212
2 Las personas casadas y divorciadas
pueden tener que repensar la forma en
que reclaman benefcios Tambieacuten enoctubre pasado Washington establecioacuteuna batalla por el presupuesto federal en parte para cerrar algunas lagunas notablesen la ley de Seguridad Social que permitiacuteaque ciertas parejas casadas aumentaransustancialmente sus benecios en el
tiempo y que ciertas personas divorciadasreclamaran benecios de ex-coacutenyuges en
determinadas circunstancias Estas nuevasrestricciones a las estrategias llamadasldquosolicitar y suspenderrdquo (ldquole and suspendrdquo)
y reclamo restringido entraraacuten en vigorel proacuteximo mes de mayo En resumen
si estaacute cerca de los 62 antildeos (la edad maacutestemprana que puede empezar a reclamar los
benecios de Seguridad Social) obtenerasesoramiento calicado nunca ha sido maacutes
importante
3 Otras cuestiones relacionadas con
COLA Cuando no hay ajuste por costode vida no hay cambio en la cantidadmaacutexima de ganancias sujetas al impuestode Seguridad Social que se quedaraacute en$ 118500 en 2016 Esto signica que
las ganancias por encima de ese nivel noestaacuten sujetas a la parte de Seguridad Socialdel impuesto sobre la noacutemina o se utiliza para calcular los pagos de jubilacioacuten Almismo tiempo el liacutemite de ingresos deSeguridad Social para las personas quetrabajan y reclaman pagos de SeguridadSocial se quedaraacute en $ 15720 en el antildeo2016 para las personas de 65 y menores Alos beneciarios de Seguridad Social que
ganan maacutes de esta cantidad se les retendraacute$1 en benecios temporalmente por cada
$2 de ganancias por encima del liacutemite
4 Algunos benefcios estaacuten bajando
un poco El pago maacutes alto posible deSeguridad Social para un trabajador de 66antildeos de edad que se inscriba en SeguridadSocial este antildeo seraacute $ 2639 por mes menos$ 24 de los $ 2663 del antildeo 2015 iquestLarazoacuten Seguridad Social sentildealoacute que a pesarde ninguacuten ajuste por costo de la vida se produjo un aumento en el iacutendice nacional
de salario promedio uno de los postesindicadores estadiacutesticos que el organismoutiliza para calcular los benecios
5 Cambios de servicio Si no ha creadouna cuenta de Mi Seguridad Social haacutegalo por dos razones En primer lugar ha habidoreportes de robo de identidad relacionadoscon ladrones que intentan inscripcionesfraudulentas para dichas cuentas Ensegundo lugar la agencia puso a disposicioacutenen liacutenea datos de la cuenta maacutes detalladoscomo estimaciones de los pagos mensualesde diversas edades de reclamo AdemaacutesSeguridad Social amplioacute el horario deocina en algunas de sus ocinas de campo
en 2015 por lo que si necesita asistencia personal revise el horario de atencioacuten en suocina maacutes cercana (httpssecuressagov

If youre not close toretirement age its easyto ignore what SocialSecurity is doingHowever some sig-nicant announcements
late last year make now
a very good time to payattention
What follows is a summary of notable
changes to Social Security at the start of 2016
and ways to ensure youre making the right
retirement planning and claiming (http
wwwconsumernancegovretirement
before-you-claim) decisions based on
whats ahead
1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

Si usted no estaacute cerca
de la edad de jubilacioacuten
es faacutecil ignorar loque estaacute haciendo
la Seguridad SocialSin embargo algunosanuncios importantesrecientes del antildeo pasado
hacen que ahora sea un buen momento para prestar atencioacuten
Lo que sigue es un resumen de loscambios notables de Seguridad Social en elinicio de 2016 y las maneras de asegurarsede que estaacute tomando las decisiones correctas para la planicacioacuten y el reclamo de la
jubilacioacuten (httpwwwconsumernance
govretirementbefore-you-claim) en base
a lo que se avecina
1 Los pagos de Seguridad Social de
2016 no aumentaraacuten A nales de octubre
Seguridad Social (httpswwwssagovmyaccount) anuncioacute que no habiacutea suciente
inacioacuten en 2015 para crear un ajuste por
costo de vida (COLA por su sigla en ingleacutes)
para los benecios mensuales de este antildeo
Comprensiblemente este anuncio sacudioacutea los destinatarios que ven a SeguridadSocial como una parte signicativa de sus
ingresos mensuales Es soacutelo la tercera vezen la que los pagos se congelaron en losuacuteltimos 40 antildeos desde que comenzaron losajustes automaacuteticos COLA pero aquiacute estaacute el problema las tres ocasiones se produjerondespueacutes de 2010 En resumen la mayoriacutea
de las personas mayores tendraacuten que vivircon un pago promedio mensual de $ 1341con los beneciarios casados recibiendo un
total de $ 2212
2 Las personas casadas y divorciadas
pueden tener que repensar la forma en
que reclaman benefcios Tambieacuten enoctubre pasado Washington establecioacuteuna batalla por el presupuesto federal en parte para cerrar algunas lagunas notablesen la ley de Seguridad Social que permitiacuteaque ciertas parejas casadas aumentaransustancialmente sus benecios en el
tiempo y que ciertas personas divorciadasreclamaran benecios de ex-coacutenyuges en
determinadas circunstancias Estas nuevasrestricciones a las estrategias llamadasldquosolicitar y suspenderrdquo (ldquole and suspendrdquo)
y reclamo restringido entraraacuten en vigorel proacuteximo mes de mayo En resumen
si estaacute cerca de los 62 antildeos (la edad maacutestemprana que puede empezar a reclamar los
benecios de Seguridad Social) obtenerasesoramiento calicado nunca ha sido maacutes
importante
3 Otras cuestiones relacionadas con
COLA Cuando no hay ajuste por costode vida no hay cambio en la cantidadmaacutexima de ganancias sujetas al impuestode Seguridad Social que se quedaraacute en$ 118500 en 2016 Esto signica que
las ganancias por encima de ese nivel noestaacuten sujetas a la parte de Seguridad Socialdel impuesto sobre la noacutemina o se utiliza para calcular los pagos de jubilacioacuten Almismo tiempo el liacutemite de ingresos deSeguridad Social para las personas quetrabajan y reclaman pagos de SeguridadSocial se quedaraacute en $ 15720 en el antildeo2016 para las personas de 65 y menores Alos beneciarios de Seguridad Social que
ganan maacutes de esta cantidad se les retendraacute$1 en benecios temporalmente por cada
$2 de ganancias por encima del liacutemite
4 Algunos benefcios estaacuten bajando
un poco El pago maacutes alto posible deSeguridad Social para un trabajador de 66antildeos de edad que se inscriba en SeguridadSocial este antildeo seraacute $ 2639 por mes menos$ 24 de los $ 2663 del antildeo 2015 iquestLarazoacuten Seguridad Social sentildealoacute que a pesarde ninguacuten ajuste por costo de la vida se produjo un aumento en el iacutendice nacional
de salario promedio uno de los postesindicadores estadiacutesticos que el organismoutiliza para calcular los benecios
5 Cambios de servicio Si no ha creadouna cuenta de Mi Seguridad Social haacutegalo por dos razones En primer lugar ha habidoreportes de robo de identidad relacionadoscon ladrones que intentan inscripcionesfraudulentas para dichas cuentas Ensegundo lugar la agencia puso a disposicioacutenen liacutenea datos de la cuenta maacutes detalladoscomo estimaciones de los pagos mensualesde diversas edades de reclamo AdemaacutesSeguridad Social amplioacute el horario deocina en algunas de sus ocinas de campo
en 2015 por lo que si necesita asistencia personal revise el horario de atencioacuten en suocina maacutes cercana (httpssecuressagov

En pocas palabras Seguridad Socialcongeloacute montos de los benecios para
el proacuteximo antildeo y esto tiene un impactotanto en los destinatarios actuales como losfuturos No se puede entender plenamentesu jubilacioacuten sin entender coacutemo funcionaSeguridad Social por lo que ahora es el

1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets
5 Service changes If you haventcreated a My Social Security accountdo so for two reasons First there have been reports of ID theft related to thievesattempting fraudulent signups for suchaccounts Second the agency is making
more detailed account data available onlinesuch as estimates of monthly payments atvarious claiming ages Also Social Securityexpanded ofce hours in some of its eld
locations in 2015 so if you need face-to-face assistance check hours of operation at
your closest local ofce (httpssecuressa
govICONmainjsp)
Bottom line Social Security froze benet
amounts for the coming year and thathas an impact on both current and futurerecipients You cant fully understand yourretirement without understanding howSocial Security works so nows the time to
learn

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

Si usted no estaacute cerca
de la edad de jubilacioacuten
es faacutecil ignorar loque estaacute haciendo
la Seguridad SocialSin embargo algunosanuncios importantesrecientes del antildeo pasado
hacen que ahora sea un buen momento para prestar atencioacuten
Lo que sigue es un resumen de loscambios notables de Seguridad Social en elinicio de 2016 y las maneras de asegurarsede que estaacute tomando las decisiones correctas para la planicacioacuten y el reclamo de la
jubilacioacuten (httpwwwconsumernance
govretirementbefore-you-claim) en base
a lo que se avecina
1 Los pagos de Seguridad Social de
2016 no aumentaraacuten A nales de octubre
Seguridad Social (httpswwwssagovmyaccount) anuncioacute que no habiacutea suciente
inacioacuten en 2015 para crear un ajuste por
costo de vida (COLA por su sigla en ingleacutes)
para los benecios mensuales de este antildeo
Comprensiblemente este anuncio sacudioacutea los destinatarios que ven a SeguridadSocial como una parte signicativa de sus
ingresos mensuales Es soacutelo la tercera vezen la que los pagos se congelaron en losuacuteltimos 40 antildeos desde que comenzaron losajustes automaacuteticos COLA pero aquiacute estaacute el problema las tres ocasiones se produjerondespueacutes de 2010 En resumen la mayoriacutea
de las personas mayores tendraacuten que vivircon un pago promedio mensual de $ 1341con los beneciarios casados recibiendo un
total de $ 2212
2 Las personas casadas y divorciadas
pueden tener que repensar la forma en
que reclaman benefcios Tambieacuten enoctubre pasado Washington establecioacuteuna batalla por el presupuesto federal en parte para cerrar algunas lagunas notablesen la ley de Seguridad Social que permitiacuteaque ciertas parejas casadas aumentaransustancialmente sus benecios en el
tiempo y que ciertas personas divorciadasreclamaran benecios de ex-coacutenyuges en
determinadas circunstancias Estas nuevasrestricciones a las estrategias llamadasldquosolicitar y suspenderrdquo (ldquole and suspendrdquo)
y reclamo restringido entraraacuten en vigorel proacuteximo mes de mayo En resumen
si estaacute cerca de los 62 antildeos (la edad maacutestemprana que puede empezar a reclamar los
benecios de Seguridad Social) obtenerasesoramiento calicado nunca ha sido maacutes
importante
3 Otras cuestiones relacionadas con
COLA Cuando no hay ajuste por costode vida no hay cambio en la cantidadmaacutexima de ganancias sujetas al impuestode Seguridad Social que se quedaraacute en$ 118500 en 2016 Esto signica que
las ganancias por encima de ese nivel noestaacuten sujetas a la parte de Seguridad Socialdel impuesto sobre la noacutemina o se utiliza para calcular los pagos de jubilacioacuten Almismo tiempo el liacutemite de ingresos deSeguridad Social para las personas quetrabajan y reclaman pagos de SeguridadSocial se quedaraacute en $ 15720 en el antildeo2016 para las personas de 65 y menores Alos beneciarios de Seguridad Social que
ganan maacutes de esta cantidad se les retendraacute$1 en benecios temporalmente por cada
$2 de ganancias por encima del liacutemite
4 Algunos benefcios estaacuten bajando
un poco El pago maacutes alto posible deSeguridad Social para un trabajador de 66antildeos de edad que se inscriba en SeguridadSocial este antildeo seraacute $ 2639 por mes menos$ 24 de los $ 2663 del antildeo 2015 iquestLarazoacuten Seguridad Social sentildealoacute que a pesarde ninguacuten ajuste por costo de la vida se produjo un aumento en el iacutendice nacional
de salario promedio uno de los postesindicadores estadiacutesticos que el organismoutiliza para calcular los benecios
5 Cambios de servicio Si no ha creadouna cuenta de Mi Seguridad Social haacutegalo por dos razones En primer lugar ha habidoreportes de robo de identidad relacionadoscon ladrones que intentan inscripcionesfraudulentas para dichas cuentas Ensegundo lugar la agencia puso a disposicioacutenen liacutenea datos de la cuenta maacutes detalladoscomo estimaciones de los pagos mensualesde diversas edades de reclamo AdemaacutesSeguridad Social amplioacute el horario deocina en algunas de sus ocinas de campo

If youre not close toretirement age its easyto ignore what SocialSecurity is doingHowever some sig-nicant announcements
late last year make now
a very good time to payattention
What follows is a summary of notable
changes to Social Security at the start of 2016
and ways to ensure youre making the right
retirement planning and claiming (http
wwwconsumernancegovretirement
before-you-claim) decisions based on
whats ahead
1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets
5 Service changes If you haventcreated a My Social Security accountdo so for two reasons First there have been reports of ID theft related to thievesattempting fraudulent signups for suchaccounts Second the agency is making
more detailed account data available onlinesuch as estimates of monthly payments atvarious claiming ages Also Social Securityexpanded ofce hours in some of its eld
locations in 2015 so if you need face-to-face assistance check hours of operation at
your closest local ofce (httpssecuressa
govICONmainjsp)
Bottom line Social Security froze benet
amounts for the coming year and thathas an impact on both current and futurerecipients You cant fully understand yourretirement without understanding howSocial Security works so nows the time to
learn
This article is intended to provide
general information and should not be
considered legal tax or nancial advice
Its always a good idea to consult a tax or
nancial advisor for specic information
on how certain laws apply to your situation
and about your individual nancial
situation

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

Si usted no estaacute cerca
de la edad de jubilacioacuten
es faacutecil ignorar loque estaacute haciendo
la Seguridad SocialSin embargo algunosanuncios importantesrecientes del antildeo pasado
hacen que ahora sea un buen momento para prestar atencioacuten
Lo que sigue es un resumen de loscambios notables de Seguridad Social en elinicio de 2016 y las maneras de asegurarsede que estaacute tomando las decisiones correctas para la planicacioacuten y el reclamo de la
jubilacioacuten (httpwwwconsumernance
govretirementbefore-you-claim) en base
a lo que se avecina
1 Los pagos de Seguridad Social de
2016 no aumentaraacuten A nales de octubre
Seguridad Social (httpswwwssagovmyaccount) anuncioacute que no habiacutea suciente
inacioacuten en 2015 para crear un ajuste por
costo de vida (COLA por su sigla en ingleacutes)
para los benecios mensuales de este antildeo
Comprensiblemente este anuncio sacudioacutea los destinatarios que ven a SeguridadSocial como una parte signicativa de sus
ingresos mensuales Es soacutelo la tercera vezen la que los pagos se congelaron en losuacuteltimos 40 antildeos desde que comenzaron losajustes automaacuteticos COLA pero aquiacute estaacute el problema las tres ocasiones se produjerondespueacutes de 2010 En resumen la mayoriacutea
de las personas mayores tendraacuten que vivircon un pago promedio mensual de $ 1341con los beneciarios casados recibiendo un
total de $ 2212
2 Las personas casadas y divorciadas
pueden tener que repensar la forma en
que reclaman benefcios Tambieacuten enoctubre pasado Washington establecioacuteuna batalla por el presupuesto federal en parte para cerrar algunas lagunas notablesen la ley de Seguridad Social que permitiacuteaque ciertas parejas casadas aumentaransustancialmente sus benecios en el
tiempo y que ciertas personas divorciadasreclamaran benecios de ex-coacutenyuges en
determinadas circunstancias Estas nuevasrestricciones a las estrategias llamadasldquosolicitar y suspenderrdquo (ldquole and suspendrdquo)
y reclamo restringido entraraacuten en vigorel proacuteximo mes de mayo En resumen
si estaacute cerca de los 62 antildeos (la edad maacutestemprana que puede empezar a reclamar los
benecios de Seguridad Social) obtenerasesoramiento calicado nunca ha sido maacutes
importante
3 Otras cuestiones relacionadas con
COLA Cuando no hay ajuste por costode vida no hay cambio en la cantidadmaacutexima de ganancias sujetas al impuestode Seguridad Social que se quedaraacute en$ 118500 en 2016 Esto signica que
las ganancias por encima de ese nivel noestaacuten sujetas a la parte de Seguridad Socialdel impuesto sobre la noacutemina o se utiliza para calcular los pagos de jubilacioacuten Almismo tiempo el liacutemite de ingresos deSeguridad Social para las personas quetrabajan y reclaman pagos de SeguridadSocial se quedaraacute en $ 15720 en el antildeo2016 para las personas de 65 y menores Alos beneciarios de Seguridad Social que
ganan maacutes de esta cantidad se les retendraacute$1 en benecios temporalmente por cada
$2 de ganancias por encima del liacutemite
4 Algunos benefcios estaacuten bajando
un poco El pago maacutes alto posible deSeguridad Social para un trabajador de 66antildeos de edad que se inscriba en SeguridadSocial este antildeo seraacute $ 2639 por mes menos$ 24 de los $ 2663 del antildeo 2015 iquestLarazoacuten Seguridad Social sentildealoacute que a pesarde ninguacuten ajuste por costo de la vida se produjo un aumento en el iacutendice nacional
de salario promedio uno de los postesindicadores estadiacutesticos que el organismoutiliza para calcular los benecios
5 Cambios de servicio Si no ha creadouna cuenta de Mi Seguridad Social haacutegalo por dos razones En primer lugar ha habidoreportes de robo de identidad relacionadoscon ladrones que intentan inscripcionesfraudulentas para dichas cuentas Ensegundo lugar la agencia puso a disposicioacutenen liacutenea datos de la cuenta maacutes detalladoscomo estimaciones de los pagos mensualesde diversas edades de reclamo AdemaacutesSeguridad Social amplioacute el horario deocina en algunas de sus ocinas de campo

If youre not close toretirement age its easyto ignore what SocialSecurity is doingHowever some sig-nicant announcements
late last year make now
a very good time to payattention
What follows is a summary of notable
changes to Social Security at the start of 2016
and ways to ensure youre making the right
retirement planning and claiming (http
wwwconsumernancegovretirement
before-you-claim) decisions based on
whats ahead
1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets
5 Service changes If you haventcreated a My Social Security accountdo so for two reasons First there have been reports of ID theft related to thievesattempting fraudulent signups for suchaccounts Second the agency is making
more detailed account data available onlinesuch as estimates of monthly payments atvarious claiming ages Also Social Securityexpanded ofce hours in some of its eld
locations in 2015 so if you need face-to-face assistance check hours of operation at
your closest local ofce (httpssecuressa
govICONmainjsp)
Bottom line Social Security froze benet
amounts for the coming year and thathas an impact on both current and futurerecipients You cant fully understand yourretirement without understanding howSocial Security works so nows the time to
learn
This article is intended to provide
general information and should not be
considered legal tax or nancial advice
Its always a good idea to consult a tax or
nancial advisor for specic information
on how certain laws apply to your situation
and about your individual nancial

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

Si usted no estaacute cerca
de la edad de jubilacioacuten
es faacutecil ignorar loque estaacute haciendo
la Seguridad SocialSin embargo algunosanuncios importantesrecientes del antildeo pasado
hacen que ahora sea un buen momento para prestar atencioacuten
Lo que sigue es un resumen de loscambios notables de Seguridad Social en elinicio de 2016 y las maneras de asegurarsede que estaacute tomando las decisiones correctas para la planicacioacuten y el reclamo de la
jubilacioacuten (httpwwwconsumernance
govretirementbefore-you-claim) en base
a lo que se avecina
1 Los pagos de Seguridad Social de
2016 no aumentaraacuten A nales de octubre
Seguridad Social (httpswwwssagovmyaccount) anuncioacute que no habiacutea suciente
inacioacuten en 2015 para crear un ajuste por
costo de vida (COLA por su sigla en ingleacutes)
para los benecios mensuales de este antildeo
Comprensiblemente este anuncio sacudioacutea los destinatarios que ven a SeguridadSocial como una parte signicativa de sus
ingresos mensuales Es soacutelo la tercera vezen la que los pagos se congelaron en losuacuteltimos 40 antildeos desde que comenzaron losajustes automaacuteticos COLA pero aquiacute estaacute el problema las tres ocasiones se produjerondespueacutes de 2010 En resumen la mayoriacutea
de las personas mayores tendraacuten que vivircon un pago promedio mensual de $ 1341con los beneciarios casados recibiendo un
total de $ 2212
2 Las personas casadas y divorciadas
pueden tener que repensar la forma en
que reclaman benefcios Tambieacuten enoctubre pasado Washington establecioacuteuna batalla por el presupuesto federal en parte para cerrar algunas lagunas notablesen la ley de Seguridad Social que permitiacuteaque ciertas parejas casadas aumentaransustancialmente sus benecios en el
tiempo y que ciertas personas divorciadasreclamaran benecios de ex-coacutenyuges en
determinadas circunstancias Estas nuevasrestricciones a las estrategias llamadasldquosolicitar y suspenderrdquo (ldquole and suspendrdquo)
y reclamo restringido entraraacuten en vigorel proacuteximo mes de mayo En resumen
si estaacute cerca de los 62 antildeos (la edad maacutestemprana que puede empezar a reclamar los
benecios de Seguridad Social) obtenerasesoramiento calicado nunca ha sido maacutes
importante
3 Otras cuestiones relacionadas con
COLA Cuando no hay ajuste por costode vida no hay cambio en la cantidadmaacutexima de ganancias sujetas al impuestode Seguridad Social que se quedaraacute en$ 118500 en 2016 Esto signica que
las ganancias por encima de ese nivel noestaacuten sujetas a la parte de Seguridad Socialdel impuesto sobre la noacutemina o se utiliza para calcular los pagos de jubilacioacuten Almismo tiempo el liacutemite de ingresos deSeguridad Social para las personas quetrabajan y reclaman pagos de SeguridadSocial se quedaraacute en $ 15720 en el antildeo2016 para las personas de 65 y menores Alos beneciarios de Seguridad Social que
ganan maacutes de esta cantidad se les retendraacute$1 en benecios temporalmente por cada
$2 de ganancias por encima del liacutemite
4 Algunos benefcios estaacuten bajando
un poco El pago maacutes alto posible deSeguridad Social para un trabajador de 66antildeos de edad que se inscriba en SeguridadSocial este antildeo seraacute $ 2639 por mes menos$ 24 de los $ 2663 del antildeo 2015 iquestLarazoacuten Seguridad Social sentildealoacute que a pesarde ninguacuten ajuste por costo de la vida se produjo un aumento en el iacutendice nacional
de salario promedio uno de los postesindicadores estadiacutesticos que el organismoutiliza para calcular los benecios
5 Cambios de servicio Si no ha creadouna cuenta de Mi Seguridad Social haacutegalo por dos razones En primer lugar ha habidoreportes de robo de identidad relacionadoscon ladrones que intentan inscripcionesfraudulentas para dichas cuentas Ensegundo lugar la agencia puso a disposicioacutenen liacutenea datos de la cuenta maacutes detalladoscomo estimaciones de los pagos mensualesde diversas edades de reclamo AdemaacutesSeguridad Social amplioacute el horario deocina en algunas de sus ocinas de campo

If youre not close toretirement age its easyto ignore what SocialSecurity is doingHowever some sig-nicant announcements
late last year make now
a very good time to payattention
What follows is a summary of notable
changes to Social Security at the start of 2016
and ways to ensure youre making the right
retirement planning and claiming (http
wwwconsumernancegovretirement
before-you-claim) decisions based on
whats ahead
1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets
5 Service changes If you haventcreated a My Social Security accountdo so for two reasons First there have been reports of ID theft related to thievesattempting fraudulent signups for suchaccounts Second the agency is making
more detailed account data available onlinesuch as estimates of monthly payments atvarious claiming ages Also Social Securityexpanded ofce hours in some of its eld
locations in 2015 so if you need face-to-face assistance check hours of operation at
your closest local ofce (httpssecuressa
govICONmainjsp)
Bottom line Social Security froze benet
amounts for the coming year and thathas an impact on both current and futurerecipients You cant fully understand yourretirement without understanding howSocial Security works so nows the time to
learn

general information and should not be

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

Si usted no estaacute cerca
de la edad de jubilacioacuten
es faacutecil ignorar loque estaacute haciendo
la Seguridad SocialSin embargo algunosanuncios importantesrecientes del antildeo pasado
hacen que ahora sea un buen momento para prestar atencioacuten
Lo que sigue es un resumen de loscambios notables de Seguridad Social en elinicio de 2016 y las maneras de asegurarsede que estaacute tomando las decisiones correctas para la planicacioacuten y el reclamo de la
jubilacioacuten (httpwwwconsumernance
govretirementbefore-you-claim) en base
a lo que se avecina
1 Los pagos de Seguridad Social de
2016 no aumentaraacuten A nales de octubre
Seguridad Social (httpswwwssagovmyaccount) anuncioacute que no habiacutea suciente
inacioacuten en 2015 para crear un ajuste por
costo de vida (COLA por su sigla en ingleacutes)
para los benecios mensuales de este antildeo
Comprensiblemente este anuncio sacudioacutea los destinatarios que ven a SeguridadSocial como una parte signicativa de sus
ingresos mensuales Es soacutelo la tercera vezen la que los pagos se congelaron en losuacuteltimos 40 antildeos desde que comenzaron losajustes automaacuteticos COLA pero aquiacute estaacute el problema las tres ocasiones se produjerondespueacutes de 2010 En resumen la mayoriacutea
de las personas mayores tendraacuten que vivircon un pago promedio mensual de $ 1341con los beneciarios casados recibiendo un
total de $ 2212
2 Las personas casadas y divorciadas
pueden tener que repensar la forma en
que reclaman benefcios Tambieacuten enoctubre pasado Washington establecioacuteuna batalla por el presupuesto federal en parte para cerrar algunas lagunas notablesen la ley de Seguridad Social que permitiacuteaque ciertas parejas casadas aumentaransustancialmente sus benecios en el
tiempo y que ciertas personas divorciadasreclamaran benecios de ex-coacutenyuges en
determinadas circunstancias Estas nuevasrestricciones a las estrategias llamadasldquosolicitar y suspenderrdquo (ldquole and suspendrdquo)
y reclamo restringido entraraacuten en vigorel proacuteximo mes de mayo En resumen
si estaacute cerca de los 62 antildeos (la edad maacutestemprana que puede empezar a reclamar los
benecios de Seguridad Social) obtenerasesoramiento calicado nunca ha sido maacutes
importante
3 Otras cuestiones relacionadas con
COLA Cuando no hay ajuste por costode vida no hay cambio en la cantidadmaacutexima de ganancias sujetas al impuestode Seguridad Social que se quedaraacute en$ 118500 en 2016 Esto signica que
las ganancias por encima de ese nivel noestaacuten sujetas a la parte de Seguridad Socialdel impuesto sobre la noacutemina o se utiliza para calcular los pagos de jubilacioacuten Almismo tiempo el liacutemite de ingresos deSeguridad Social para las personas quetrabajan y reclaman pagos de SeguridadSocial se quedaraacute en $ 15720 en el antildeo2016 para las personas de 65 y menores Alos beneciarios de Seguridad Social que
ganan maacutes de esta cantidad se les retendraacute$1 en benecios temporalmente por cada
$2 de ganancias por encima del liacutemite
4 Algunos benefcios estaacuten bajando
un poco El pago maacutes alto posible deSeguridad Social para un trabajador de 66antildeos de edad que se inscriba en SeguridadSocial este antildeo seraacute $ 2639 por mes menos$ 24 de los $ 2663 del antildeo 2015 iquestLarazoacuten Seguridad Social sentildealoacute que a pesarde ninguacuten ajuste por costo de la vida se produjo un aumento en el iacutendice nacional
de salario promedio uno de los postesindicadores estadiacutesticos que el organismoutiliza para calcular los benecios
5 Cambios de servicio Si no ha creadouna cuenta de Mi Seguridad Social haacutegalo por dos razones En primer lugar ha habidoreportes de robo de identidad relacionadoscon ladrones que intentan inscripcionesfraudulentas para dichas cuentas Ensegundo lugar la agencia puso a disposicioacutenen liacutenea datos de la cuenta maacutes detalladoscomo estimaciones de los pagos mensualesde diversas edades de reclamo AdemaacutesSeguridad Social amplioacute el horario deocina en algunas de sus ocinas de campo

If youre not close toretirement age its easyto ignore what SocialSecurity is doingHowever some sig-nicant announcements
late last year make now
a very good time to payattention
What follows is a summary of notable
changes to Social Security at the start of 2016
and ways to ensure youre making the right
retirement planning and claiming (http
wwwconsumernancegovretirement
before-you-claim) decisions based on
whats ahead
1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets
5 Service changes If you haventcreated a My Social Security accountdo so for two reasons First there have been reports of ID theft related to thievesattempting fraudulent signups for suchaccounts Second the agency is making
more detailed account data available onlinesuch as estimates of monthly payments atvarious claiming ages Also Social Securityexpanded ofce hours in some of its eld
locations in 2015 so if you need face-to-face assistance check hours of operation at
your closest local ofce (httpssecuressa
govICONmainjsp)
Bottom line Social Security froze benet
amounts for the coming year and thathas an impact on both current and futurerecipients You cant fully understand yourretirement without understanding howSocial Security works so nows the time to
learn
This article is intended to provide
general information and should not be
considered legal tax or nancial advice
Its always a good idea to consult a tax or
nancial advisor for specic information
on how certain laws apply to your situation
and about your individual nancial
situation

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

a lo que se avecina
1 Los pagos de Seguridad Social de
2016 no aumentaraacuten A nales de octubre
Seguridad Social (httpswwwssagovmyaccount) anuncioacute que no habiacutea suciente
inacioacuten en 2015 para crear un ajuste por
costo de vida (COLA por su sigla en ingleacutes)
para los benecios mensuales de este antildeo
Comprensiblemente este anuncio sacudioacutea los destinatarios que ven a SeguridadSocial como una parte signicativa de sus
ingresos mensuales Es soacutelo la tercera vezen la que los pagos se congelaron en losuacuteltimos 40 antildeos desde que comenzaron losajustes automaacuteticos COLA pero aquiacute estaacute el problema las tres ocasiones se produjerondespueacutes de 2010 En resumen la mayoriacutea
de las personas mayores tendraacuten que vivircon un pago promedio mensual de $ 1341con los beneciarios casados recibiendo un
total de $ 2212
2 Las personas casadas y divorciadas
pueden tener que repensar la forma en
que reclaman benefcios Tambieacuten enoctubre pasado Washington establecioacuteuna batalla por el presupuesto federal en parte para cerrar algunas lagunas notablesen la ley de Seguridad Social que permitiacuteaque ciertas parejas casadas aumentaransustancialmente sus benecios en el
tiempo y que ciertas personas divorciadasreclamaran benecios de ex-coacutenyuges en
determinadas circunstancias Estas nuevasrestricciones a las estrategias llamadasldquosolicitar y suspenderrdquo (ldquole and suspendrdquo)
y reclamo restringido entraraacuten en vigorel proacuteximo mes de mayo En resumen
si estaacute cerca de los 62 antildeos (la edad maacutestemprana que puede empezar a reclamar los
benecios de Seguridad Social) obtenerasesoramiento calicado nunca ha sido maacutes
importante
3 Otras cuestiones relacionadas con
COLA Cuando no hay ajuste por costode vida no hay cambio en la cantidadmaacutexima de ganancias sujetas al impuestode Seguridad Social que se quedaraacute en$ 118500 en 2016 Esto signica que
las ganancias por encima de ese nivel noestaacuten sujetas a la parte de Seguridad Socialdel impuesto sobre la noacutemina o se utiliza para calcular los pagos de jubilacioacuten Almismo tiempo el liacutemite de ingresos deSeguridad Social para las personas quetrabajan y reclaman pagos de SeguridadSocial se quedaraacute en $ 15720 en el antildeo2016 para las personas de 65 y menores Alos beneciarios de Seguridad Social que
ganan maacutes de esta cantidad se les retendraacute$1 en benecios temporalmente por cada
$2 de ganancias por encima del liacutemite
4 Algunos benefcios estaacuten bajando
un poco El pago maacutes alto posible deSeguridad Social para un trabajador de 66antildeos de edad que se inscriba en SeguridadSocial este antildeo seraacute $ 2639 por mes menos$ 24 de los $ 2663 del antildeo 2015 iquestLarazoacuten Seguridad Social sentildealoacute que a pesarde ninguacuten ajuste por costo de la vida se produjo un aumento en el iacutendice nacional

If youre not close toretirement age its easyto ignore what SocialSecurity is doingHowever some sig-nicant announcements
late last year make now
a very good time to payattention
What follows is a summary of notable
changes to Social Security at the start of 2016
and ways to ensure youre making the right
retirement planning and claiming (http
wwwconsumernancegovretirement
before-you-claim) decisions based on
whats ahead
1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets
5 Service changes If you haventcreated a My Social Security accountdo so for two reasons First there have been reports of ID theft related to thievesattempting fraudulent signups for suchaccounts Second the agency is making
more detailed account data available onlinesuch as estimates of monthly payments atvarious claiming ages Also Social Securityexpanded ofce hours in some of its eld
locations in 2015 so if you need face-to-face assistance check hours of operation at
your closest local ofce (httpssecuressa
govICONmainjsp)
Bottom line Social Security froze benet
amounts for the coming year and thathas an impact on both current and futurerecipients You cant fully understand yourretirement without understanding howSocial Security works so nows the time to
learn

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

Si usted no estaacute cerca
de la edad de jubilacioacuten
es faacutecil ignorar loque estaacute haciendo
la Seguridad SocialSin embargo algunosanuncios importantesrecientes del antildeo pasado
hacen que ahora sea un buen momento para prestar atencioacuten
Lo que sigue es un resumen de loscambios notables de Seguridad Social en elinicio de 2016 y las maneras de asegurarsede que estaacute tomando las decisiones correctas para la planicacioacuten y el reclamo de la
jubilacioacuten (httpwwwconsumernance
govretirementbefore-you-claim) en base
a lo que se avecina
1 Los pagos de Seguridad Social de
2016 no aumentaraacuten A nales de octubre
Seguridad Social (httpswwwssagovmyaccount) anuncioacute que no habiacutea suciente
inacioacuten en 2015 para crear un ajuste por
costo de vida (COLA por su sigla en ingleacutes)
para los benecios mensuales de este antildeo
Comprensiblemente este anuncio sacudioacutea los destinatarios que ven a SeguridadSocial como una parte signicativa de sus
ingresos mensuales Es soacutelo la tercera vezen la que los pagos se congelaron en losuacuteltimos 40 antildeos desde que comenzaron losajustes automaacuteticos COLA pero aquiacute estaacute el problema las tres ocasiones se produjerondespueacutes de 2010 En resumen la mayoriacutea
de las personas mayores tendraacuten que vivircon un pago promedio mensual de $ 1341con los beneciarios casados recibiendo un
total de $ 2212
2 Las personas casadas y divorciadas
pueden tener que repensar la forma en
que reclaman benefcios Tambieacuten enoctubre pasado Washington establecioacuteuna batalla por el presupuesto federal en parte para cerrar algunas lagunas notablesen la ley de Seguridad Social que permitiacuteaque ciertas parejas casadas aumentaransustancialmente sus benecios en el
tiempo y que ciertas personas divorciadasreclamaran benecios de ex-coacutenyuges en
determinadas circunstancias Estas nuevasrestricciones a las estrategias llamadasldquosolicitar y suspenderrdquo (ldquole and suspendrdquo)
y reclamo restringido entraraacuten en vigorel proacuteximo mes de mayo En resumen
si estaacute cerca de los 62 antildeos (la edad maacutestemprana que puede empezar a reclamar los
benecios de Seguridad Social) obtenerasesoramiento calicado nunca ha sido maacutes
importante
3 Otras cuestiones relacionadas con
COLA Cuando no hay ajuste por costode vida no hay cambio en la cantidadmaacutexima de ganancias sujetas al impuestode Seguridad Social que se quedaraacute en$ 118500 en 2016 Esto signica que
las ganancias por encima de ese nivel noestaacuten sujetas a la parte de Seguridad Socialdel impuesto sobre la noacutemina o se utiliza para calcular los pagos de jubilacioacuten Almismo tiempo el liacutemite de ingresos deSeguridad Social para las personas quetrabajan y reclaman pagos de SeguridadSocial se quedaraacute en $ 15720 en el antildeo2016 para las personas de 65 y menores Alos beneciarios de Seguridad Social que
ganan maacutes de esta cantidad se les retendraacute$1 en benecios temporalmente por cada
$2 de ganancias por encima del liacutemite
4 Algunos benefcios estaacuten bajando
un poco El pago maacutes alto posible deSeguridad Social para un trabajador de 66antildeos de edad que se inscriba en SeguridadSocial este antildeo seraacute $ 2639 por mes menos$ 24 de los $ 2663 del antildeo 2015 iquestLarazoacuten Seguridad Social sentildealoacute que a pesarde ninguacuten ajuste por costo de la vida se produjo un aumento en el iacutendice nacional
de salario promedio uno de los postesindicadores estadiacutesticos que el organismoutiliza para calcular los benecios
5 Cambios de servicio Si no ha creadouna cuenta de Mi Seguridad Social haacutegalo por dos razones En primer lugar ha habidoreportes de robo de identidad relacionadoscon ladrones que intentan inscripcionesfraudulentas para dichas cuentas Ensegundo lugar la agencia puso a disposicioacutenen liacutenea datos de la cuenta maacutes detalladoscomo estimaciones de los pagos mensualesde diversas edades de reclamo AdemaacutesSeguridad Social amplioacute el horario deocina en algunas de sus ocinas de campo

If youre not close toretirement age its easyto ignore what SocialSecurity is doingHowever some sig-nicant announcements
late last year make now
a very good time to payattention
What follows is a summary of notable
changes to Social Security at the start of 2016
and ways to ensure youre making the right
retirement planning and claiming (http
wwwconsumernancegovretirement
before-you-claim) decisions based on
whats ahead
1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets
5 Service changes If you haventcreated a My Social Security accountdo so for two reasons First there have been reports of ID theft related to thievesattempting fraudulent signups for suchaccounts Second the agency is making
more detailed account data available onlinesuch as estimates of monthly payments atvarious claiming ages Also Social Securityexpanded ofce hours in some of its eld
locations in 2015 so if you need face-to-face assistance check hours of operation at
your closest local ofce (httpssecuressa
govICONmainjsp)
Bottom line Social Security froze benet
amounts for the coming year and thathas an impact on both current and futurerecipients You cant fully understand yourretirement without understanding howSocial Security works so nows the time to
learn

general information and should not be

nancial advisor for specic information

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

Si usted no estaacute cerca
de la edad de jubilacioacuten
es faacutecil ignorar loque estaacute haciendo
la Seguridad SocialSin embargo algunosanuncios importantesrecientes del antildeo pasado
hacen que ahora sea un buen momento para prestar atencioacuten
Lo que sigue es un resumen de loscambios notables de Seguridad Social en elinicio de 2016 y las maneras de asegurarsede que estaacute tomando las decisiones correctas para la planicacioacuten y el reclamo de la
jubilacioacuten (httpwwwconsumernance
govretirementbefore-you-claim) en base
a lo que se avecina
1 Los pagos de Seguridad Social de
2016 no aumentaraacuten A nales de octubre
Seguridad Social (httpswwwssagovmyaccount) anuncioacute que no habiacutea suciente
inacioacuten en 2015 para crear un ajuste por
costo de vida (COLA por su sigla en ingleacutes)
para los benecios mensuales de este antildeo
Comprensiblemente este anuncio sacudioacutea los destinatarios que ven a SeguridadSocial como una parte signicativa de sus
ingresos mensuales Es soacutelo la tercera vezen la que los pagos se congelaron en losuacuteltimos 40 antildeos desde que comenzaron losajustes automaacuteticos COLA pero aquiacute estaacute el problema las tres ocasiones se produjerondespueacutes de 2010 En resumen la mayoriacutea
de las personas mayores tendraacuten que vivircon un pago promedio mensual de $ 1341con los beneciarios casados recibiendo un
total de $ 2212
2 Las personas casadas y divorciadas
pueden tener que repensar la forma en
que reclaman benefcios Tambieacuten enoctubre pasado Washington establecioacuteuna batalla por el presupuesto federal en parte para cerrar algunas lagunas notablesen la ley de Seguridad Social que permitiacuteaque ciertas parejas casadas aumentaransustancialmente sus benecios en el
tiempo y que ciertas personas divorciadasreclamaran benecios de ex-coacutenyuges en
determinadas circunstancias Estas nuevasrestricciones a las estrategias llamadasldquosolicitar y suspenderrdquo (ldquole and suspendrdquo)
y reclamo restringido entraraacuten en vigorel proacuteximo mes de mayo En resumen
si estaacute cerca de los 62 antildeos (la edad maacutestemprana que puede empezar a reclamar los
benecios de Seguridad Social) obtenerasesoramiento calicado nunca ha sido maacutes
importante
3 Otras cuestiones relacionadas con
COLA Cuando no hay ajuste por costode vida no hay cambio en la cantidadmaacutexima de ganancias sujetas al impuestode Seguridad Social que se quedaraacute en$ 118500 en 2016 Esto signica que
las ganancias por encima de ese nivel noestaacuten sujetas a la parte de Seguridad Socialdel impuesto sobre la noacutemina o se utiliza para calcular los pagos de jubilacioacuten Almismo tiempo el liacutemite de ingresos deSeguridad Social para las personas quetrabajan y reclaman pagos de SeguridadSocial se quedaraacute en $ 15720 en el antildeo2016 para las personas de 65 y menores Alos beneciarios de Seguridad Social que
ganan maacutes de esta cantidad se les retendraacute$1 en benecios temporalmente por cada
$2 de ganancias por encima del liacutemite
4 Algunos benefcios estaacuten bajando
un poco El pago maacutes alto posible deSeguridad Social para un trabajador de 66antildeos de edad que se inscriba en SeguridadSocial este antildeo seraacute $ 2639 por mes menos$ 24 de los $ 2663 del antildeo 2015 iquestLarazoacuten Seguridad Social sentildealoacute que a pesarde ninguacuten ajuste por costo de la vida se produjo un aumento en el iacutendice nacional
de salario promedio uno de los postesindicadores estadiacutesticos que el organismoutiliza para calcular los benecios
5 Cambios de servicio Si no ha creadouna cuenta de Mi Seguridad Social haacutegalo por dos razones En primer lugar ha habidoreportes de robo de identidad relacionadoscon ladrones que intentan inscripcionesfraudulentas para dichas cuentas Ensegundo lugar la agencia puso a disposicioacutenen liacutenea datos de la cuenta maacutes detalladoscomo estimaciones de los pagos mensualesde diversas edades de reclamo AdemaacutesSeguridad Social amplioacute el horario deocina en algunas de sus ocinas de campo

If youre not close toretirement age its easyto ignore what SocialSecurity is doingHowever some sig-nicant announcements
late last year make now
a very good time to payattention
What follows is a summary of notable
changes to Social Security at the start of 2016
and ways to ensure youre making the right
retirement planning and claiming (http
wwwconsumernancegovretirement
before-you-claim) decisions based on
whats ahead
1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets
5 Service changes If you haventcreated a My Social Security accountdo so for two reasons First there have been reports of ID theft related to thievesattempting fraudulent signups for suchaccounts Second the agency is making
more detailed account data available onlinesuch as estimates of monthly payments atvarious claiming ages Also Social Securityexpanded ofce hours in some of its eld
locations in 2015 so if you need face-to-face assistance check hours of operation at
your closest local ofce (httpssecuressa
govICONmainjsp)
Bottom line Social Security froze benet
amounts for the coming year and thathas an impact on both current and futurerecipients You cant fully understand yourretirement without understanding howSocial Security works so nows the time to
learn

general information and should not be

nancial advisor for specic information

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

If youre not close toretirement age its easyto ignore what SocialSecurity is doingHowever some sig-nicant announcements
late last year make now
a very good time to payattention
What follows is a summary of notable
changes to Social Security at the start of 2016
and ways to ensure youre making the right
retirement planning and claiming (http
wwwconsumernancegovretirement
before-you-claim) decisions based on
whats ahead
1 2016 Social Security payments
wont increase In late October SocialSecurity (httpswwwssagovmyaccount)
announced that there wasnt enough ination
in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA) to monthly benets this year
Understandably this announcement shook
up recipients who look to Social Security
for a signicant part of their monthly
income Its only the third time paymentswere frozen in the past 40 years sinceautomatic COLA adjustments began butheres the rub ndash all three occasions occurredafter 2010 In short most seniors will haveto live with an average monthly payment of$1341 with married beneciaries receiving
a total of $2212
2 Married and divorced individuals
may have to rethink the way they claim
benefts Also last October Washingtonsettled a federal budget battle in part byclosing some notable loopholes in SocialSecurity law that allowed certain marriedcouples to substantially increase their benets over time and certain divorced
individuals to claim benets from former
spouses under certain circumstances Thesenew restrictions on so-called le-and-
suspend and restricted-claim strategies gointo effect this coming May In short ifyoure close to age 62 (the earliest age youcan start claiming Social Security benets)
getting qualied advice has never been
more important
3 Other COLA-related issues Whentheres no cost-of-living adjustment theresno change in the maximum amount ofearnings subject to the Social Security taxwhich will stay at $118500 in 2016 Thismeans earnings above that level arentsubject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts At the same time the Social
Security earnings limit for people who work
and claim Social Security payments willstay at $15720 in 2016 for people ages 65and younger Social Security beneciaries
who earn more than this amount will have$1 in benets temporarily withheld for
every $2 in earnings above the limit
4 Some benefts are going down ndash a
little The highest possible Social Security payment for a 66-year-old worker who
signs up for Social Security this year will be$2639 per month down $24 from $2663in 2015 The reason Social Security notedthat despite no cost-of-living adjustmentthere was an increase in the nationalaverage wage index one of the statisticalguideposts the agency uses to calculate
benets
5 Service changes If you haventcreated a My Social Security accountdo so for two reasons First there have been reports of ID theft related to thievesattempting fraudulent signups for suchaccounts Second the agency is making
more detailed account data available onlinesuch as estimates of monthly payments atvarious claiming ages Also Social Securityexpanded ofce hours in some of its eld
locations in 2015 so if you need face-to-face assistance check hours of operation at
your closest local ofce (httpssecuressa
govICONmainjsp)
Bottom line Social Security froze benet
amounts for the coming year and thathas an impact on both current and futurerecipients You cant fully understand yourretirement without understanding howSocial Security works so nows the time to
learn

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

What happened to
government of thepeople by the peopleand for the people I write this portion of my columnon the 207th anniversary of AbrahamLincolnrsquos birth Each February we
celebrate both Lincolnrsquos and Washingtonrsquos
births Washington is best remembered foroverthrowing an oppressive and tyrannicalgovernment in which the people had norepresentation Lincolnrsquos best-remembered
speech the Gettysburg Address reminds usthat at least in this country our governmentmust respond to the people from whom it
receives its authorityThe Gettysburg Address was hastily writtenand presented in just a few short minutesThe speech which still endures as the bestAmerican political rhetoric ended withthese few words ldquothat government of the
people by the people for the people shallnot perish from the earthrdquo In this one short phrase Lincoln echoes the language ofour Constitution and reminds us that ourgovernment is created by us to serve USTwo hundred years ago the very idea thatgovernment should serve the people andnot the king was revolutionary
So Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington please let me apologize to you on your birthdays for the shameful conduct that
you see in Lawrence today Lawrencehas forgotten our forefathersrsquo sacrices
to create a government that represents usInstead we elect people whose interest isnot in serving us but in serving themselvesFar too many elected ofcials see their
election to ofce as a stepping stone to
higher power or higher salary and not as achance to help the powerless Any benet
we receive from their work is secondary to
their self-promotion Our elected ofcials
in their haste to get stipends make political
connections get paid without working
travel at our expense enter public contractswith organizations on whose boards theyonce sat hire their campaign workers re
their enemies get free parking on city lotsand streets abuse their parking placards
shop for new cars during work hours and
grant undeserved privileges to their friendsand allies forget to do any work for us
The recent expose on the Registry of Deedsconrms that our elected ofcials forget
to uphold the oaths of their ofce and
violate the public trust Story after storyis reported about unqualied people being
given jobs campaign workers parking
for free jobs awarded to friends withoutadvertisement or competition employeesworking as teachers during the hours when
they are being paid to work for us Many
stories have yet to be reported storiesabout councilors having their car towing
fees waived while the citizens who electedthem must pay theirs Despite photographsand reports no discipline issues Whenwe complain our ofcials tell the world
that we complain because we want the oldcorrupt ways to returnSo Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington letme tell you there are no old corrupt waysto return The corruption never left It isstill here and worse than ever Today it is
sugar-coated disguised by benevolenceand hidden behind positive press releases
Its exposure is suppressed in the mediawhen elected ofcials exchange paid
advertising for positive press and mediasilenceAnd for these shameless examples of self-dealing and self-promotion donrsquot blame
our elected ofcials Blame us We lack
the courage and determination to ght for
the government by and for the people thatyou left us We donrsquot show up to vote in
large numbers When some of us decideto take back our government by the recall
of our ofcials too few of us are willing
to stand beside them and publicly supportthemThe Mayor knows he no longer represents
the majority of the people He stoppedworking for us when he started working for
himself He knows he cannot win another
mayoral election because he lost touch withthe common humble voter This is whyhe spends thousands of dollars to preventthe recall This is why he objects at everystep of the recall This is why he told usit failed before objections were even led
He knows the will of the people Rather
than work for that will he is doing the
hardest work of his career making certain
that we never get another chance to expressour will Such is the case with the rumorthat the next meeting before the Board ofRegistrars will not be televised or shownon YouTube Council President Kendrys
Vasquez explained that it was a questionof which department would pay for thework of televising it Thatrsquos all we need in
Lawrence Press censorshipI have been requesting copies of the
Activity Report Changes on the voters list
from November 3 2015 through December9 2015 only to be told that it cannot be
done This printout will show who madeany changes on the list by removing addingof changing the names or addresses in anyway Richard Reyes the only employeeleft in the Elections Department said thatis impossible so I spoke to Rafael Tejeda
former bilingual elections coordinator whowas red two years ago by Mayor Rivera
Tejeda explained to me the stepsto be followed to get the desired resultsand issuing that report should not take
more than 5 minutes Furthermore hesaid that nothing can be erased from thatcomputer system Everything done theremanipulating the lists leaves a permanentrecord of the date time and password of
the person making the alterations I nowwonder if Richard Reyes doesnrsquot know the
system or he has been ordered not to issueany reports Itrsquos time to subpoena Rafael
Tejeda to testify under oath as to what hetold me or ask him to come to City Hall and
run the report for me The Mayor does not want us to vote onwhether we like the job he has done Mr
Mayor we can vote now or later Eitherway your popularity will be judged by wewho empowered you Mr Lincoln and Mr Washington wedonrsquot deserve the gift of free government
you gave us We do too little to protectit and you deserve more from us Nextyear for your birthdays we the citizens of
Lawrence want to return to you that samegovernment of the people by the peopleand for the people that so many have foughtand died for We must NEVER allow thatrepresentative government to ever perishfrom Lawrence

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-

be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to

no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-

direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities

An independent review of specialeducation in Massachusetts commissioned by the Massachusetts Department of
Education nds that ldquoStudents withdisabilities who spend more time beingeducated with their typically developing peers on average earn higher scores on theMassachusetts Comprehensive AssessmentSystem testsrdquo Based on this nding the
Massachusetts Department of Educationrecommends that students with disabilitiesspend more time being educated with theirtypically developing peers Often this means an inclusionclassroom What is an inclusion classroomIt is the least restrictive setting for a childwith an IEP (Individualized EducationPlan) However merely naming a class an
inclusion class does not meet student needsA true inclusion classroom is composedof a certied general education teacher
and a certied special education teacher
working conjunctively both in planning the
classroom learning activities and also inexecuting those plans together each class period for the entire length of the class The state average of IEP students in aninclusion setting is 611 Based on the most recent data fromthe DOE some districts are doing betterthan others at providing an inclusiveenvironment ndash the least restrictive settingfor students with disabilities With 628 of IEP students in aninclusion setting Methuen exceeds the
state target of 605 The graduation ratefor Methuen students with IEPs is 492 North Andover has a rate of 711 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of their students on IEPs is817 Andover has a rate of 628 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting Theyhave an 845 rate of graduation for their
students on IEPs Dracut has a rate of 565 of IEPstudents in an inclusion setting The
graduation rate of students on IEPs is 538 The review also nds that ldquolow-
income students with disabilities andLatino and African American students withdisabilities are considerably less likely to
be included in general education classeswhen compared to their White and Asianspecial education counterpartsrdquo This isconcerning considering the nding that
academic success of students with learningdisabilities increases with time spent in aninclusion setting How do our more urban areas of theMerrimack Valley do when it comes to
providing an inclusive setting for studentswith disabilities Lowell reports a rate of 567 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of Lowell students on IEPsis 211 Haverhill has a rate of 526 ofIEP students in an inclusion setting Thegraduation rate of students on IEPs is 488 296 of students on IEPs in Lawrenceare in an inclusion setting Lawrence has a476 graduation rate for students withIEPs While some Lawrence schools areheld up as evidence the receivership isworking many others have shown little or
no improvement A few have become worseFor each year since 2012 the city has beenlabeled chronically underperforming Considering the DOErsquos nding of a
direct correlation between student successand inclusion districts throughout theMerrimack Valley will likely move toward
providing more inclusion opportunities forstudents with disabilities
