Massachusetts Announces State Income Tax Filing Deadline Being Extended to July 15

BOSTON – Governor Charlie Baker, Lt. Governor Karyn Polito, Senate President Karen Spilka and House Speaker Robert DeLeo today announced an agreement to extend the 2019 state individual income tax filing and payment deadline from April 15 to July 15 due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. This income tax relief is automatic and taxpayers do not need to file any additional forms to qualify.

“Massachusetts will move the state personal income tax filing and payment deadline to July 15, consistent with the federal government, in order to provide additional flexibility to filers during this crisis,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “In partnership with our colleagues in the Legislature, we are committed to providing this flexibility to taxpayers in a way that protects the Commonwealth’s strong fiscal footing that we have all worked hard to develop over the past several years.”

“We are proud to work with the Legislature to provide meaningful relief to people throughout the Commonwealth during this public health emergency,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “This extension will afford taxpayers additional time to file their Massachusetts individual income tax returns as we carry out the historic response to the COVID-19 outbreak.”

"The top priority during this public health crisis is to address the immediate needs facing our residents,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka. “Our message is clear: residents should stay home and avoid social contact to be safe. Extending the tax deadline helps us accomplish that goal and provides peace of mind. I want to thank Chair Rodrigues, as well as our partners in the House and the Administration for their continued collaboration in confronting the challenges facing our Commonwealth."

“The House, in partnership with the Senate and the Administration, agreed to an extension of the state tax filing deadline to ease the burden on individuals while agreeing to borrowing measures that would protect the Commonwealth’s revenue stream,” said House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo. “Thank you to Chair Michlewitz for his leadership in ensuring the Commonwealth’s fiscal viability while providing tax relief to those unduly effected by this crisis.”

Today’s announcement will move the state income tax filing deadline to match the July 15 deadline for filing federal individual income taxes. Legislation will be filed in the near future to finance the extension, and accompanying administrative changes will be implemented through the Department of Revenue. Specifically, the legislation will authorize the Commonwealth borrowing flexibility to manage deferred revenue this fiscal year and repay it in the next fiscal year, which starts July 1, 2020. 

Individuals with questions or concerns regarding taxes can contact the Massachusetts Department of Revenue at (617) 887-6367 or send a secure e-message through MassTaxConnect.

The Commonwealth will continue to update the public on further developments and individuals are encouraged to consult both the Department of Public Health and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention websites for the most up to date information.

MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES TEMPORARY PARKING ENFORCEMENT CHANGES BOSTON - Thursday, March 26, 2020 - To address the transportation needs of residents, health care providers and businesses during the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency, Mayor Martin J. Walsh and the Boston Transportation Department (BTD) today announced updated enforcement regulations and transportation services.  "During this challenging time, we're doing all we can to keep our residents healthy and safe," said Mayor Walsh. "We understand transportation is a need and concern for residents and medical professionals, and these updated policies will help everyone during this ongoing public health crisis."  The following updates to parking enforcement policies are in effect until further notice in the City of Boston: Resident Parking  Residents with a valid resident permit sticker will be allowed to park in a metered or two-hour parking space, without having to adhere to the time limit or pay a meter fee, within their specific neighborhood.  For cars without the relevant resident permit parking sticker, standard time limit and meter requirements remain in place. Street Cleaning BTD has not been ticketing and towing for street cleaning, given challenges to finding alternative places to park in neighborhoods.  Inspection Stickers and Registration BTD will not ticket for expired inspection stickers or registrations, given potential challenges for people to renew inspections and registrations at this time. Parking Garages To support the medical community, BTD has identified facilities offering free, reduced rate or reserved parking for medical professionals. To receive discounted parking, medical staff will need to present a hospital ID.To see the list of participating facilities, please visit: https://www.boston.gov/news/discounted-garages-available-hospital-staff-boston BlueBikes  The City of Boston and its municipal partners of Brookline, Cambridge, Everett, and Somerville are offering all hospital staff a free 30-day pass for our public bike share, Bluebikes. To learn more about how to sign up for the program, visit boston.gov .  Pick Up/Drop Off Zones for Small Businesses  To help small businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19, BTD is creating temporary pick up zones in front of restaurants that have transitioned to takeout and delivery only. Takeout food pickup zones restrict parking to five minutes to increase convenience for the quick pickup and delivery of takeout food from restaurants, and provide adequate room for social distancing of six feet or more. Restaurants that would like to request a temporary pick up zone can do so on boston.gov. Requests will be evaluated on a case by case basis.  With the exception of those changes noted above, BTD will continue to enforce parking violations, with a focus on public safety violations, such as blocking a hydrant, sidewalk or handicap ramp. Additional resources and information about COVID-19 are available on boston.gov/coronavirus. Resources available on boston.gov and through City departments, including support for small businesses; free meals for Boston students; free toiletries for Boston students; emergency childcare centers -- including 27 centers in Boston -- support for older residents; information on homeless shelters; transportation options for healthcare workers; resources for those in recovery or those who have a substance use disorder; and mental health resources.  For additional questions or programs, please visit  boston.gov/coronavirus or call 3-1-1, Boston's 24-hour constituent hotline.

Massachusetts Dedicates Former Hospital for Shelter, Treatment of Homeless Individuals

Massachusetts Dedicates Former Hospital for Shelter, Treatment of Homeless Individuals

Newton Pavilion building to be used for care of homeless residents

BOSTON – To ensure the care and safety of the Boston area’s homeless population during the COVID-19 epidemic, the Baker-Polito Administration today announced that a former Boston Medical Center hospital building will be temporarily reopened and used to meet COVID-19 related medical needs of area homeless residents.  

The building, known as Newton Pavilion, is currently owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The new facility will be operated by a consortium of providers, including Boston Medical Center, Boston Healthcare for the Homeless, shelters including the Pine Street Inn, and the City of Boston’s COVID-19 response team.

“As we continue to urge residents to stay at home, it’s vitally important to provide for the safety of individuals who don’t have a place to call home,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “We continue to take steps to protect the health and safety of all residents, particularly our more vulnerable residents including older adults, individuals with underlying health conditions, and individuals experiencing homelessness.”

“This action is a critical protection for the health care needs of individuals experiencing  homelessness, a population at high risk for the virus that needs a place to recover safely in cases of mild illness,” said Secretary of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders. 

The facility will be able to be used as needed for a range of care needs, potentially including treatment of homeless patients who:

• Are confirmed COVID-19 positive with mild symptoms who do not require hospitalization but do require isolation from the general population

• Are symptomatic and awaiting test results who require isolation to avoid spreading infection to the general population

• Post-discharge facility for COVID-19 patients who have been hospitalized but who don’t have a home to return to

• Acute care for sicker patients, up to and including ICU care

Capacity of the facility can grow with demand to 250 beds, marking a significant increase in clinical capacity to treat homeless individuals who contract COVID-19.

"It's critical that we continue to support our most vulnerable residents, especially our homeless population," said Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh. "In Boston, we are putting in place measures to protect shelter guests and prevent the virus from spreading, including new facilities for screening, testing and isolating patients, and identifying additional overnight beds in the city. The reopening of the Newton Pavilion at Boston Medical Center will be essential to relieving stress on our health care system and increasing medical care for our homeless population as we continue to respond to this public health crisis." 

“This new facility will be a critical asset in our hospital’s and our community’s ability to care for Boston’s homeless patients affected by COVID-19 and in turn will help us prevent further spread of the virus,” said Kate Walsh, President and CEO of Boston Medical Center Health System. “We applaud and thank Governor Baker and his Administration for taking this crucial step and are grateful for the partnership of our fellow providers in this effort.”

“This is a huge step forward in ensuring that our patients and the City’s homeless community are able to get the care they will need and deserve in the weeks and months ahead,” said Barry Bock, CEO of Boston Health Care for the Homeless. “We’re ready and eager to work closely in partnership with our fellow providers to make this new facility a reality, and we’re so grateful to Governor Baker for his leadership in making this possible,”

“We are very grateful to the Governor and Secretary Sudders for designating this building as a site for homeless individuals during this crisis. This site will be crucial in helping contain the spread of this virus in our community,” said Lyndia Downie, President of Pine Street Inn. “I want to thank our partners in the fight, Boston Medical Center and Boston Health Care for the Homeless, for the work they are doing to get this building operational.”

麻州COVID-19確診病例飆升至2417宗 25人死亡 州長申請聯邦援助

             (Boston Orange編譯)新型冠狀病毒(COVID-19)在麻州擴散速度驚人，今(26)日新增579宗，確診數躍升至2417例，死亡者再增10人，累計25人。麻州州長查理貝克(Charlie Baker)直指這情況前所未有，影響深遠，他已透過聯邦緊急管理局請求美國總統宣佈麻州面臨重大災害，給予支援。

             根據麻州公共衛生廳(DPH)數據，累計至今日，麻州已有23,621人做了病毒檢測，之前一天是19,794人。麻州在一天之內檢測的人數已超過政府之前預估的每日檢測3500人了。

             新增的10名死者，8名男士，2名女士，年齡在50到90之間，分別來自米斗塞郡，益士石郡，薩福克郡等7個郡。
                  昆士市長柯奇(Tom Koch)在他的每日疫情會報中，告訴昆士市民，今日新增2人死亡，累計確診人數為43人，現有約100名昆士市居民自我隔離中。

             查理貝克在今日的疫情匯報中說明，由哈佛大學和麻省理工學院合作的博德研究院(Broad Institute)已同意和州政府合作，並從昨(日25)日起加入為民眾檢測行列，預定週五開始報告檢測結果，估計每日可檢測2000例。目前麻州總共有21個實驗室參與協助檢測。

             查理貝克表示，州政府是為地方市鎮，州府各部門，某些非牟利機構，以及州民而向聯邦政府申請災難援助，希望來自聯邦的濟助，可以減輕各方負擔，也希望聯邦政府可以動作快點的批准申請。

             他直言，他簡直無法形容自己有多失望，看著數以百萬件計，已確認的訂單，就這樣在眼前消失，州政府現在已經另外下單，可能也算確認了，但直到這些物品出現在麻州之前，都不算數。

             麻州健康及人民服務長Marylou Sudders在會中表示，州政府正和本地醫學院院長們洽談，希望給剛畢業的人提供幾乎是自動的90天牌照，以增加可在第一線工作的醫療人員人數。

             Marylou Sudders也報告，州政府昨天已送出68套個人防護設備給地方機構，消防員，過去2週以來，他們和聯邦政府的緊急管理局已送出150套。另外他們送了10,000個拭子(swab)給55個樣本站，週日時，他們也送出28,000個口罩。

             查理貝克表示，州政府擁有的牛頓亭(Newton Pavilion)會暫時重新開放，以在病毒大流行期間照顧等待檢測結果，以及已經確診的流浪漢。該場所約可安置250張床。(視頻來自麻州州政府網站)

麻省理工學院亞洲商務會議慶10週年 宏碁董事長陳俊聖傳授翻轉企業之道

              (Boston Orange 周菊子劍橋市報導) 麻省理工學院(MIT)史隆管理學院的亞州商務會議今年慶祝10週年，以”橋接亞洲”為主題，邀20多名講者，暢談投資，醫療健保，創新與消費趨勢。主講人宏碁董事長陳俊聖的經驗分享，提醒許多人，現代企管一大課題是如何”翻轉”企業。

              史隆商學院院長大衛·斯密特雷恩（David C. Schmittlein）為會議做開場致詞。他強調這會議的知識交流傳統與意義，更為今年會期遇上新型冠狀病毒全球肆虐，所有講者與參會者不懼威脅，仍然出席，大表感謝。

              宏碁董事長陳俊聖和Antler全球合夥人Martell Van Hardenberg當天先後為這場會議做主題演講。一個分享企業翻轉經驗，一個談從打造電商到”製造”創投。

MIT史隆商學院院長David C. Schmittlein致詞。(周菊子攝)

              陳俊聖畢業於成功大學交通管理系，從IBM，英代爾，做到台積電的全球銷售及市場副總裁。2014年，突然有業界前輩找他接手宏碁。那時，宏碁雖然歷史悠久，名聲響亮，但2013年已虧損7億元，公司重臣也接踵離任，他著實思考了好一陣子，想自己的事業發展究竟是因為自己很好，還是公司很棒，想著擺在眼前的這公司正處困境，如何翻轉可是真正的挑戰。

宏碁董事長陳俊聖(左)會後應與會者要求合影。(周菊子攝)

陳俊聖後來不帶一兵一卒的踏進宏碁。抱持著在台積電時從張宗謀那兒學來”不要把別人的問題變成你的問題”處事態度，面對宏碁重臣們敘述一籮筐問題的轟炸，他只專注哪兒有機會，還要各單位擬定100日計畫，每週檢討進度，把他從併購(M&A)學來的經驗，應用到重整宏碁上，專注財務，簡化產品線，砍掉手機及平板生產，把子公司從11家縮減到5家，推出Predator等電競品牌，每年參加兩次國際產品發表大會，藉以帶動改善產品或推陳出新的時間壓力，逐漸重塑宏碁形象，不但遊戲電腦領域排名第一，還使宏碁成為注重人性，強調環保的品牌。

陳俊聖指出，在翻轉宏碁這條路上，重點之一是如何處理問題。他初進宏碁時，人們搶著說給他聽的問題多如繁星，真要去一一處理，恐怕窮其一生，也解決不完，所以他的做法是只要是不致命問題，就暫放一旁，把精力、重心放在找出宏碁的優點，加以擴大發揮上。他相信5年之內，宏碁將成為人們生活中必不可少的產品。

              Antler全球合夥人Martell Van Hardenberg的引人注目是他才24歲時，就和人合夥，於2012年創辦出Lazada，這個市場橫跨越南，印尼，新加坡，2016年被阿里巴巴以10億美元買走控股權，後來又加碼20億元發展的東南亞最大電商平台。

              在荷蘭、義大利念大學，在法國拿企管碩士學位的Martell認為，整個東南亞加起來，是世界第四大經濟體，中產階級人數正大幅度增加，已有60%網路用戶網購，其中33%還是經由社交媒體來採購，東南亞無疑將是企業界的兵家必爭之地。

              Martell在會場中以投影片指出，2012年時，東南亞還是個困難重重的市場，物流服務不足，幾乎沒人在網上付款，零售業很分散，境內使用的語言更多達240種，市場太過分歧，各國流行的社交媒體各不相同，印尼用what’s app，馬來西亞，新加坡，越南用Youtube，泰國用wechat，菲律賓用facebook。Lazada打造的金流，物流服務，手機應用程式，卻逐一解決了品種，上網，信任等顧慮，達成包裹包裝的75%，運送的70%，都由他們來處理。Lazada的金融科技還解決了東南亞6個市場的語言差異問題，儘管那時約91%的東南亞人沒信用卡，居然有83%的人用貨到付款方式，在Lazada上購物。2016年阿里巴巴進駐後，更是把Lazada帶向數位經濟，創造出一批新一代企業家。

              現在他已離開Lazada，投身進打造創業家的Antler。

              在主題演講之外，今年的MIT亞洲商務會議還安排了四場分場論壇，談投資，醫療護理，創新及消費者趨勢。

              其中的”消費者趨勢”可算是科技，創新領域人士在長時間關注科技後覺醒，科技和生活互相依存，對改善生活沒有作用的科技，充其量就只是技藝，能改善生活，卻使科技有了可能變革社會的更巨大意義。

騰訊投資部執行總監Steven Fan。(周菊子攝)

由曾任沃爾瑪媒體集團資深市場主任，現為MIT史隆學者的張栖(James Zhang)主持的這場”消費者趨勢”論壇，講者有3A服裝公司創辦人暨執行長Anu Chadha，GrubMarket創辦人兼執行長徐敏毅，Grain創辦人兼執行長宋頌(Yi Sung Yong)，Ducker Frontier常務董事Joel Backaler。

              GrubMarket創辦人兼執行長徐敏毅，是中國來美的第一代移民。他透露自己曾在甲骨文，蘋果，eBay等高科技公司工作，7年升職7次，但在一路順遂之際，他忍不住的想，就算自己在美國企業界認真爬梯，真的有一天當上了諸如亞馬遜之類大公司的執行長，他又能在那職位上待多久，這才促成他自己出來，打造下一代的偉大企業。

              徐敏毅說，他同意擔任MIT亞洲商務會議講者是因為他認為在MIT讀書的下一代，比他有更好機會，成為美國大企業的掌舵人，希望分享、傳承經驗。

              根據網路資料，GrubMarket是個以”從農場到廚房(Farm to Kitch)”為理想，起家時在網路上把農產品直接賣給消費者，其後擴展至賣給超市等的公司，創立於2014年，在楊致遠、紀源資本相繼投資後，迄今已累計融資6400萬美元。

              目前營業範圍仍以洛杉磯為主要地區的GrubMarket，正積極向美東擴展。原本傳聞2019年上市，但目前仍無動靜。

              這場會議的其他分場討論，投資部分由MIT全球經濟、實務教授Gary Gensler主持，講者有中金公司常務董事戚婷婷，騰訊投資部執行總監Steven Fan，Intudo Ventures創始合夥人詹谷新(Eddy Chan)。

Baker-Polito Administration Announces Federal Disaster Request and Other COVID-19 Response Efforts

Baker-Polito Administration Announces Federal Disaster Request and Other COVID-19 Response Efforts

BOSTON – The Baker-Polito Administration today announced a new request to the federal government for a Major Disaster Declaration, in addition to other actions to sustain the Commonwealth’s response to COVID-19.

Major Disaster Declaration Request: Governor Baker today submitted a request to the federal government for a Major Disaster Declaration for Massachusetts. If approved, this declaration would provide the Commonwealth additional federal assistance beyond what was included in the Emergency Declaration declared by President Trump on March 13, 2020. The disaster declaration request includes a request for FEMA’s Public Assistance Program, which would make financial assistance available to cities and towns, state agencies, and certain non-profits statewide. The disaster declaration request also requests FEMA’s Individual Assistance Program including Disaster Unemployment Assistance and Crisis Counseling Assistance to help support residents in need during this unprecedented incident.

Read the Letter.

  

New Public Health Orders: The Department of Public health has issued three emergency orders to support the health care system’s response to COVID-19:

• Pharmacy Practice: To ensure pharmacists are able to fully support the health care system’s response to COVID-19, this emergency order makes several changes regarding pharmacy practice, including expedited approval for pharmacists licensed in other states to practice in Massachusetts, and allowing the remote processing of prescriptions by pharmacy technicians. Read the Order
• Determination of Need: This emergency order exempts health care facilities from the requirement that they submit a Notice of Determination of Need for certain activities that will support their response to COVID-19. Read the Order | Read the Guidance
• Nurse Staffing: To ensure hospitals have the flexibility they need to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak, this emergency order exempts hospitals from certain nurse-staffing requirements, while requiring that they must ensure that staffing levels remain adequate to meet patients’ needs, and staff is trained and competent to meet the needs of their patients. Read the Order

Permit Order: Governor Baker today is issuing an emergency order that provides that a permit will not expire or lapse during the state of emergency for most permits issued by agencies within the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs and the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development. The order also pauses deadlines for these agencies to decide or hold hearings on permit applications. The clock on those deadlines will resume 45 days after the end of the emergency. It also ensures that no permit is automatically issued because an agency is unable to make a decision on a permit application during the emergency.

Ensuring Access to Personal Care Attendant Services: The Administration worked with the advocacy community and union partners to implement solutions to ensure access to Personal Care Attendant (PCA) services for individuals with disabilities and older adults during this public health emergency. MassHealth created a hotline through MassOptions for MassHealth members to call if they are in need of services, and updated its policies to streamline the hiring process and allow more flexibility for PCAs to work more hours

MassUndocuFund for COVID-19 Relief要籌款100萬元協助失業無證件移民

(Boston Orange 編譯)新型冠狀病毒(COVID-19)造成失業潮，無證件移民礙於身分，無法申請失業救濟，可能遭受更大衝擊。麻州非牟利團體MassUndocuFund for COVID-19 Relief正設法籌募100萬元，以資助這大約27萬5000名無證件移民。

根據皮優(Pew)研究中心數據，麻州大約有275,000無證件居民，沒有資格申請失業救濟或州政府的其他補助。

餐館機會中心(Restaurant Opportunities Center)，麻州正義的工作(Massachusetts Jobs with Justice)，Matahari婦女工人中心，以及一份公平工資(One Fair Wage)等機構，因而攜手成立MassUndocuFund for COVID-19 Relief，希望籌款100萬元，幫助這些無證件移民度過難關。

這非牟利組織打算以每週發支票，直到疫情消退為止的方式，來幫助這些無證件移民。他們可以撥打一個安全電話號碼，提出申請，現在申請，大約下週五就能拿到支票。他們估計，若能籌得100萬元，大概可以幫到3000個家庭。
