Governor Healey claimed today she “never stopped pipelines,” but as AG, she said something very different. So we put her two statements side by side. Was she lying then or is she lying now? 👖🔥 Let us know in the comments.

Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is bad for Massachusetts and bad for democracy. The RCV ballot question was defeated in 2020 but the threat continues. MassFiscal recently welcomed @KimStrassel to Boston for our special event, alongside @AFPhq. Executive Director Paul Craney spoke with Kim about RCV's impact in her home state of Alaska and our ongoing efforts to educate the public on the problems associated with RCV and defend the will of the voters who soundly rejected the ballot question. #mapoli

That is the correct answer. Also, Wu, Healey, Warren, & Markey all use Super PACs.

Paul Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, hammered the AG for prioritizing foreign wind developers over Bay State ratepayers. "It's unfortunate the Attorney General is defending the interests of an offshore company instead of the interests of the ratepayers," Craney said. "Offshore wind is the most expensive energy source, and the Attorney General was completely silent when their turbine blade broke off into the ocean, polluting our ocean, sea animals, and shores. The Attorney General is showing her allegiance to these foreign offshore wind companies instead of the ratepayers of Massachusetts. Craney was pointing at the July 2024 Vineyard Wind blade failure south of Nantucket, when a GE Vernova blade shattered and sent fiberglass debris washing onto the island's beaches. Campbell issued no public statement.”

Now that Governor Maura Healey has backed Mike Minogue's position on the gas tax, which of Minogue's policies would you like to see Healey adopt next? How about repealing the net zero mandates? If Governor Healey believes Massachusetts families cannot afford another 24 cents at the pump today, she should be willing to take the same hard look at every state mandate driving up the cost of keeping the lights on and heating our homes. #Massachusetts #mapoli #energy #netzero

Gov. Healey Should Suspend Costly Climate Mandates Along with Gas Tax BOSTON – The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance responded Tuesday to Governor Maura Healey’s announcement that she will file legislation temporarily suspending Massachusetts’ 24-cent-per-gallon gas tax for two months as gasoline prices rise. Healey attributed the recent increase at the pump to the war with Iran and federal energy policy.

At the same time, the Healey administration continues pursuing its broader Net Zero agenda, which calls for major changes to how Massachusetts generates electricity, heats homes, powers transportation, and uses fossil fuels. The administration has still not publicly released the comprehensive economic analysis of the investment needed to meet the Commonwealth’s 2050 climate mandates that former Climate Chief Melissa Hoffer identified as a priority.

“A two-month gas tax holiday is temporary relief that’s clearly an election ploy, insulting the intelligence of Massachusetts voters. The big picture costs of Massachusetts’ energy mandates appears on utility bills month after month and year after year,” said Craney. “If Governor Healey believes Massachusetts families cannot afford another 24 cents at the pump today, she should be willing to take the same hard look at every state mandate driving up the cost of keeping the lights on and heating our homes.” “Massachusetts does not need two months of energy affordability. It needs an energy policy built around affordability every month of the year,” concluded Craney. #mapoli

MassFiscal is urging a YES vote on Question 5. Question 5 would change the way Massachusetts’ Chapter 62F tax refund law works, making automatic taxpayer rebates more frequent. Tufts’ Center for State Policy Analysis estimates Question 5 could trigger refunds 2–4 times as often and return 2–7 times as much money to taxpayers, averaging roughly $200–$250 per year across refund and non-refund years. @pauldiegocraney explains what Question 5 would mean for Chapter 62F, taxpayer refunds, and why MassFiscal believes more of that money should be returned to the people who earned it. Every tax cut, and every tax rebate, is a pay raise!

The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance says the endorsements of nearly all political incumbents by the union illustrates it feels content with the state’s current economic status.

“More heavily unionized states are seeing more job losses. Unionization makes reforms much more difficult. There is no better state in need of reform than Massachusetts,” MassFiscal Executive Director Paul Craney told the Herald. “The fact that the union bosses are endorsing the status quo shows you that they are happy with how things are going so long as they have control over the incumbent politicians.”
The Massachusetts AFL-CIO is endorsing 14 of 15 incumbents in major state and federal races in the general election as a massive outmigration of businesses and working-aged residents continues. bostonherald.com/2026/09/19/…

Thank you Somerville for making us your new state legislative delegation! It was a joy and an honor to get together for dinner at Rincón in East Somerville to celebrate our wins and discuss the work ahead. It’s still Housing for All, Tax the Rich, and Free Palestine. ✊❤️🎉🙏
