Gov. Healey Refuses to Answer on Net Zero Costs—Watch the Video






























































At a recent public event, MassFiscal Executive Director Paul Craney asked Governor Maura Healey a straightforward question—not once, but four separate times:

How much is your Net Zero 2050 mandate going to cost, and who’s going to pay for it?



The Governor ignored every single question.



Massachusetts residents are being asked to bear the burden of aggressive climate mandates with little transparency and no public cost analysis. We deserve answers—not silence.



To his credit, Senator Michael Barrett stepped in to speak with us and said he reads all our work, but actually claimed the net zero policy would save billions of dollars. We’re very skeptical of that idea.



Have your energy bills gone down? Ours haven’t.



While Beacon Hill talks about future savings, families and small businesses across the Commonwealth are already feeling the pain of higher energy bills. If this plan is supposed to save money, why aren’t we seeing it?
