Paul Diego Craney, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, a conservative group and by far most vociferous TCI critic, said Thursday that were “so pleased” by its demise.

Massachusetts has not deployed a single EV charger through a Biden-era program that awarded the Bay State $64 million nearly four years ago, despite heightened concerns of federal funding claw backs under the Trump administration. https://t.co/KpRqAhnbnm

Residential property taxes will increase if rent control is imposed.

Mayor Michelle Wu threw her support behind a compromise rent control proposal that tenant advocates and a group of high-powered real estate developers unveiled earlier this week in a bid to avoid a brutal ballot fight this fall. https://t.co/mp6BXI8zq3

Since November of 2024, Massachusetts AG Campbell has filed 57 lawsuits against the Trump administration, but not a single one in support of the 72% voter-approved audit.

“Even in its revised form, this policy discourages new housing, adds legal risk for property owners, will increase residential property taxes, and ultimately makes the affordability crisis worse for the very people it claims to help.”

Five likes after nine hours. Subverting democracy to protect unethical behavior isn’t very popular outside of the State House.

Controlling energy costs and forcing a rapid shift to intermittent alternative energy sources are not compatible goals.

Governor Maura Healey is doubling down on them anyway.

“I’m not backing down,” she says, while pushing for more executive orders to lock in Massachusetts’ energy mix for the next 10 years.

Solar. Wind. Geothermal. Battery storage. Demand response. All dictated from the top.

Massachusetts residents are already paying some of the highest electricity prices in the country. Instead of reassessing what’s driving those costs, the response is more mandates, more targets, and more political stubbornness.

This isn’t flexibility and this is not listening to people's needs.

It’s doubling down on a strategy that’s already making energy less affordable.

This will surely be a stain on the history of this Commonwealth. Listen to the Auditor describe the horrific “transparency” bill we will be voting on tomorrow. I will be an obvious no vote because this is not what the 72% voted for at the ballot box.

[Paul Diego Craney @pauldiegocraney]

The ends do not justify the means. Not a good look for Healey. No one but extreme partisans share Healey’s point of view.

#Breaking: I asked @MassGovernor Maura Healey to explain her support for controversial #Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner @grahamformaine, asking how she could endorse someone with a Nazi tattoo and who messaged women while married on the “predators paradise” Kik app, among other controversies.
#Healey says “come November, we need to do everything we can to defeat Susan Collins,” citing her support of the Dobbs decision and her “enabling of Trump” as her primary reasons.

Everything is a political calculation for Governor Healey.

[Kelly Garrity @kellygarrity3]

On @BosPublicRadio, Gov. Maura Healey says she will back Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner if he is the Democratic nominee for the seat, even though she’s “disgusted by what he posted and… disgusted by some of his other behaviors and antics.” #mapoli

Clearly it’s political retribution.

Shiela Dibb has some explaining to do. Ask her why they’re still canceling Rutland’s festivities when Sherrif Lew offered to cover the security.
Looks like they had to make up a new reason to rain on everyone’s parade.

🚨🎙️"They talk about fighting climate change with this school project. You're adding additional costs and you're asking the taxpayers in those towns to foot the bill."

Executive Director @pauldiegocraney joined @ChrisMcradio on @WBSM1420 to talk about the $288,700,000 Old Colony High School project that falls right in the line with Beacon Hill's net-zero mandates.

…this felt like a long overdue acknowledgement that the state's climate & energy policies were expensive undertakings.

According to our recent White Paper, net-zero mandates are driving up costs for Massachusetts ratepayers.

Governor Maura Healey is doubling down and wants more alternative energy projects to fight climate change, including ones featuring geothermal and ground source heat pumps.

Old Colony High School Superintendent Aaron Polansky, who has been a part of the net-zero movement, is delivering for the Healey Administration with a new school project plan his team says will reduce global warming and carbon emissions.

Who are they calling out? 🤔

During the State Senate debate on finally complying with the voter-approved audit law, something unusual happened.

Senators pushed back on a familiar excuse:
That voters “didn’t understand what they were voting for.”

That argument didn’t come out of nowhere.

It echoes comments from Beacon Hill lawmakers like Rep. Danielle Gregoire, who openly claimed at a public meeting that voters didn't know what they were voting for and wouldn’t be able to explain the audit law they passed.

Now, on the Senate floor, that mindset is being challenged directly:

“The voters aren’t smart enough? I reject that wholeheartedly… anyone who believes that should find another career.”

Is Beacon Hill finally getting the message that dismissing voters isn’t a defense anymore?
