Massachusetts Governor Healey starts term in gas-powered Expedition
Colin A. Young
Gov. Maura Healey promised in her inaugural address last week that she will electrify the state’s fleet of vehicles and put a million electric vehicles on the road by 2030, but she has not yet made the switch to an EV herself.
As she starts her term as governor, Healey is still riding around in the same type of SUV that she used as attorney general, a Ford Expedition, her office said.
Like her predecessors in the corner office, Healey has a State Police detail and driver, and her choice of vehicle is similar to the SUV that former Gov. Charlie Baker used. Ford Expeditions from model years 2018-2022 average between 17 and 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline, according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Ford does not make an electric version of the Expedition.
In her first speech as governor, Healey said last week that she would “electrify our public fleet, and put a million electric vehicles on the road by 2030.” In a statement Tuesday, her office said that Healey is still figuring out the best way and time to do that. “The Governor has committed to electrifying the public fleet and will be evaluating the best methods and timeline for that transition,” press secretary Karissa Hand said in response to questions about the governor’s vehicle.
Getting to a million electric vehicles in Massachusetts by the end of the decade will be a big shift — the previous energy and environmental affairs secretary said this fall that there were roughly 55,000 EVs and plug-in hybrids on the roads in Massachusetts. As of December 2017, when the firm ICF released a study of state fleet electrification opportunities it conducted for the Department of Energy Resources, there were 7,833 on-road vehicles owned and operated by the commonwealth.

Oh so she’s a hypocrite who has no plan whatsoever for meeting the stated goal. With that 20% pay increase these thieves gave themselves I’m sure she could afford an electric vehicle. only 945K more to go.

She was just as useless as the AG as well. Enjoy higher taxes to fund her 20% pay increase and giving her friends made-up climate jobs to the tune of 6 figure salaries at the taxpayers expense. Everyone should furious at the fleecing of their paychecks by useless politicians.

Welcome to the arena of the ridiculous. I’m wondering if Maura will be attending Davos? Marching orders from the liberal superclass will be imparted upon the chosen politicos at Davos? I’m expecting a World more wicked, more dumbed down where we the people will be fed toxic GMO crops and be forced to take poisonous vaccinations to even be allowed to participate in society. Social Credit Scores will be the new currency. Anyone who stands against this New World Order garbage will have their social crediting system turned off. Funny because all of you NWO acolytes think you will be joining the elites in this nightmare system. You will not even be allowed to eat the crumbs from their tables. The NWO is exposed thanks to great minds and spirits like Alex Jones. All of you lemmings will die off in the NWO plan. Look at the destruction caused by Covid Vaccines. Young people are dying at increasing rates from conditions unheard of in young people. Take another booster. There’s a new variant every week. A new shot will be required every 6 months. Don’t worry because un-elected physician and scientist Bill Gates is here to save humanity. Viva La Risistance!!!
