If such draconian measures are required to allieviate the purported "climate change" emergency, then let it be done at the national level, in the light of day. Rather than target the middle clas, perhaps instead you should add confiscatory taxes to luxury cars, first-class airplane seats, yachts, and luxury homes in Swampscott, Louisberg Square and Hyannisport. |

Once again a permanent gas tax is looming large on the horizon in the guise of “Climate Change” mitigation. Nothing like doing an end run, bypassing the legislative process a la Barack O’Bama. It’s bad enough we have a legislature that is 97% Moonbat, but we have RINO Charlie Baker who also serves at the altar of political correctness and climate change. Needless to say I expected as much from the legislature but am very disappointed with Governor Baker. |

WHEN will the people of this state wake up and end one party rule? |

This is nothing but a new tax. Massachusetts has become a haven for far left liberals , I was a Dem most of my life , I absolutely didn't vote for President bone spurs and never will. I am getting disgusted by this State with what is becoming of it! Mass was always a working class state , now we are becoming a far left conclave of out of state wealthy people. We are pushing out the working class and people , like me , who worked our whole life and planned on living here til I die. The State govt passes laws which should be left to people who can and must be allowed to make decisions on our own! BANNING AND TAXING ALMOST EVERYTHING WILL NOT HELP CLIMATE CHANGE ONLY INDIVIDUALS WILL ! PLASTIC BAGS AND STRAWS,OUTSIDE CLOTHES LINES , SERIOUSLY ! BANNING MENTHOL CIG. WAS DONE ONLY TOO ALLOW A 75 PERCENT EXCISE ON VAPING PRODUCTS ( LET PEOPLE DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO SMOKE OR VAPE EVERYONE KNOWS THE DANGERS PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN POLS THINK ) MARIJUANA IS LEGAL BUT MENTHOL CIG. ARE NOT ? I PAY TAXES FOR EVERYTHING ( COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY I STILL NEED TO PAY EXCISE TAXES ON MY OLD CAR? ) THE BIG DIG WAS SUPPOSE TO SOLVE EVERY TRAFFIC PROBLEM OUR TAXES PAID FOR IT HOW DID THAT WORK OUT ? BIKE LANES EVERYWHERE AND MORE PEOPLE BEING HIT BY CARS. BANNING OF WORDS LIKE BITCH. SOMETHING HAS GONE VERY WRONG WITH OUR STATE AND POLS. I COME FROM A LARGE VOTING UNION HARD WORKING FAMILY AND WE WILL STAR TO FIGHT ALL THESE RIDICULOUS TAXES AND MEASURES FROM NOW ON. AGAIN WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS BECOMING OF MY BELOVED MASSACHUSETTS ? |

This will not reduce carbon emissions in fact it may increase them since people living close enough to New Hampshire will buy their fuel there. The state government needs to learn to live within it's means like the rest of us have to do instead of coming up with yet another scheme to further pick the pockets of it's citizens. |

State employees never adjust the age at which they retire with their defined benefit pensions , long ago made obsolete in the private sector
Where actual budgets have to be adhered to. The guise of “ climate “ is a complete lie . We should not emulate California lest we become the excrement rich he’ll hole California now has become. Act like a Republican Charlie . |

Massachusetts currently creates only 1.3% of the nations greenhouse gasses. You can financially punish the citizens to the point we turn off our heat and stop driving our cars and you could never change the temperature of the earth from Massachusetts. Elected officials no longer represent we the people. This fee will disproportionately impact low income people that must commute off Cape Cod each day. And for what? So Charlie Baker earns a green award? |
