MassFiscal Executive Director @pauldiegocraney with State Representative Mike Chaisson (@chaissonforma) showing their support for YES on Question 1. Question 1 would bring the Legislature and Governor’s Office under the public records law and give taxpayers greater access to what their government is doing. Vote YES on Question 1. Let in the sun! ☀️🌞☀️

Governor Healey: "I've never been against gas." Massachusetts Ratepayers: "Are you sure about that?" Maura Healey's long track record of opposing natural gas and driving up the costs of your utility bills isn't some made up thing. We’re living in the energy world Healey laid out for us over a decade ago. Your run away utility bills and skyrocketing energy prices are the direct result of the policies she's been pursuing for over ten years. No amount of back peddling in the closing weeks of a re-election campaign will change this. #Massachusetts #mapoli #greenenergy #alternativeenergy #netzero #energy

Mike Minogue: "She stopped the natural gas pipelines coming in. She said we wouldn't need it." Governor Healey: "I'm happy to talk about the pipeline. He made a bunch of misstatements about that." MassFiscal: "We have the receipts." #mapoli #Massachusetts #energy #netzero

Sharman Sacchetti: "Governor, do you have an oversight problem?" Governor Healey: "No!" The Receipts: "LOL" 😆

Talk is cheap. Putting it in writing is different. 💪 Christina @Delisio5th, candidate in the 5th Essex District, stopped by to chat with MassFiscal and signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, committing that she will not vote to raise taxes. The pledge gives taxpayers a clear commitment they can hold candidates accountable to if they are elected. Christina is running on three issues: 1⃣ Affordability 2⃣ Accountability-Audit the Legislature 3⃣ Local Control Christina also made another promise, watch to find out! Thank you, Christina, for signing!

Massachusetts voters will face nine statewide ballot questions this November. MassFiscal is taking a position on five. Here’s where we stand and why: ✅ YES on Question 1: Expand Public Records and State House Transparency. Massachusetts is the only state where all three branches of state government are exempt from public records laws. Taxpayers deserve greater transparency into how decisions are made and how their money is spent. ❌ NO on Question 2: Don’t Expand Public-Sector Unionization Through the Ballot Box. Question 2 would create collective bargaining rights for certain public defenders. That could affect government spending and management flexibility while making future reforms much harder. ❌ NO on Question 4: No Election Day Registration Without Greater Transparency. Before dramatically changing voter registration, Massachusetts should make voter registration information more transparent and give the public better tools to scrutinize the system. ✅ YES on Question 5: Return More Excess Revenue to Taxpayers. Question 5 would strengthen the state revenue limit and make taxpayer rebates more frequent and larger. When Beacon Hill collects more than the limit allows, taxpayers should get more of their money back. ❌ NO on Question 6: Don’t Earmark More Sales Tax Revenue for Climate Spending. Massachusetts already spends billions on environmental and climate programs. Question 6 would automatically divert existing sales tax revenue into a dedicated fund, putting more pressure on the rest of the state budget. MassFiscal does not take positions on issues that do not directly relate to its mission and has no positions on questions 3, 7, 8, or 9.

“Despite Healey’s assurances, the lack of eventual ownership and language putting the state on the hook for capital investments means this (Springfield Courthouse) deal just doesn’t add up in favor of the taxpayers.”

Being able to admit you were wrong and correct course is an important character trait. During the 1st Gubernatorial Debate, Moderator Jon Keller asked both candidates to name a "blunder" and how they "handled it." Governor Healey dodged the question and never named a "blunder." We answered the question for her. #Massachusetts #mapoli
