"Massachusetts consistently ranks high among states for housing costs and affordability challenges often landing near the bottom of national rankings. Specifically we rank sixth in the U.S. for housing costs and third in the nation for rental outlays according to Boston Agent Magazine. The state also received an "F" grade in a report on housing production and affordability. Now Governor Healey is promoting a new Transfer Tax which would allow municipalities to impose an additional transfer fee on housing transactions making housing even less affordable. #magov #mapoli"

A proposed electrical rate increase of up to 17% for some residential customers is potentially adding $49 a month to household energy bills this winter. For others the increase may reach 13% or roughly $41 more per month. The hikes come as Bay Staters are already grappling with some of the highest utility costs in the country. This is the direct result of Healeys reckless energy agenda and her blocking natural gas pipelines into Massachusetts. Instead of ensuring reliable affordable energy for Massachusetts"

"Massachusetts is stuck in an economic death spiral. [-----] private sector jobs disappeared compared to pre-COVID levels. The cost of living is among the highest in the nation. Competitor states are eating our lunch. Thats what high taxes and overregulation will do. The solution isnt complicated. As governor Ill offer tax and regulatory relief to strengthen our economy and make Massachusetts affordable for working families. #magov #mapoli"

"Remember the old Wendys commercial- Wheres the beef Here in Massachusetts every day we are faced with the question- Wheres the money Maura Healey has decided to stop providing reports on how much money she is spending on migrant hotels and free apartment rental vouchers. She does not believe Massachusetts taxpayers deserve accountability. Healey has moved migrants out of the hotels and into the Home Base Program where our tax dollars are now providing migrants with free apartments. These policies have cost Massachusetts taxpayers billions of dollars. As your next Governor I will end the"

"I wholeheartedly support Sen. Bruce Tarrs bill to create a special unit within the Inspector Generals office dedicated to oversight of the Emergency Assistance shelter program. As we saw from the state auditors report the program is rife with abuse mismanagement political cronyism unlawful no-bid contracts and a lack of transparency and accountabilityall trademarks of the Healey administration. If you do nothing else today just read the press release Im posting here regarding that audit. #magov #mapoli"

"Maura Healey is finally conceding that her policies have made Massachusetts less competitive economically and she lacks a basic understanding of how the economy works. But wedont need anotherblue ribboncommission to tell us what we already know: taxes are too high utility bills are too high and state government is spending too much money. What we need is decisive leadership to cut utility bills and taxes get private sector growing again.we need a governor with experience in the real economy and a record of creating and growing good-paying jobs. #magov #mapoli"

"The Transportation Secretary has resigned but will retain her $200k salary through the end of the year as a parting gift to the taxpayers. This move is another example of Maura Healey moving deck chairs on the Titanic. But its not just the crew but the captain who needs to go. It is Maura Healeys failed leadership mismanagement cronyism and lack of transparency that gave us the service plaza debacle skyrocketing energy bills and an exploding cost of living. That wont change until we get a new governor. #magov #mapoli"

"We know what has caused utility bills to skyrocket - Maura Healeys state-imposed mandates and fees and her blocking two natural gas pipelines. We dont need a new study; we need a new governor. On Day One in office Ill end the mandates and hidden taxes that made our bills skyrocket and make affordability the driving factor in our energy policy. #magov #mapoli https://wbjournal.com/article/healey-orders-review-of-utility-fees/ https://wbjournal.com/article/healey-orders-review-of-utility-fees/"

"We need a governor who will put our states needs ahead of politics regardless of who is president. If I was governor today I would be on the first flight to Washington advocating for our Cape bridges that are in desperate need of replacement. These aging structures are critical to the economy public safety and quality of life for residents across the Cape and Islands and we cannot afford to let politics put this funding at risk.

"Two weeks ago Boston was making headlines across the country for all the wrong reasons. A police car was torched in the South End and the alleged perpetrators had their bail set at just $500 and $1000. A few days later a violent mob assaulted and injured [--] Boston Police officers with one officer suffering a broken nose. I joined @wcvb On the Record to discuss my plans to reduce crime in Massachusetts. I support bail reform ending cashless bail and establishing mandatory minimums on bail. #magov #mapoli"

"Several years ago Beacon Hill politicians raised the felony theft limit from $250 to $1200 as a gift to the criminal class. Predictably shoplifting has exploded costing retailers up to $2B a year.

"Maura Healey is playing a shell game with the migrants. She moved them out of the Healey Hotels and into the Home Base Program. The migrants are now receiving apartment rental vouchers which are paid for with our tax dollars. Meanwhile local aid is flat and many towns are facing overrides. When Im governor I will make sure our tax dollars are spent helping Massachusetts citizens. #magov #mapoli"

"Auditor DiZoglio recently did an audit on Mass Save. What she found is that working families in Massachusetts are paying exorbitant fees and getting little or nothing in return. Meanwhile Maura Healey recently fired two of her own appointees at the Department of Public Utilities and blocked two natural gas pipelines from coming into our state. When Im governor I will strip the exorbitant fees out of your utility bills and will bring more natural gas pipelines into Massachusetts. @WCVB #magov #mapoli"

"The Mass Pike service plaza contract is a classic example of lack of government transparency and insider deals. Maura Healey left $900 million on the table. Thats not her money its taxpayer money. Democrat Senator Mark Montigny agrees and released a scathing report highlighting the complete lack of transparency in the bid process. This is not only an issue with the Secretary of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Monica Tibbits-Nutt who abruptly resigned last week. This goes all the way to the governors office and the question is why did Maura Healey leave $900 million on the table"

"I arrived at the MBTA back in [----] when we were buried in [---] inches of snow and the system was facing a $300 million deficit. Under my leadership we got costs under control stripped out abuse of overtime and delivered a balanced budget for the taxpayers. The current head of the MBTA along with Maura Healey have never delivered a balanced budget. The MBTA is now facing a $500 million deficit and the taxpayers should not be on the hook for this. @WCVB #magov #mapoli"
