Massachusetts House members should never have voted to gut MassSave in last fall’s energy bill in the false name of affordability. It’s good to see the Healey administration defend the program and we hope the Senate now will too as they consider the energy bill.

‘Elizabeth Mahony, commissioner of the Department of Energy Resources, told lawmakers that Mass Save “benefits all customers” by delivering “impressive” energy savings through home weatherization and heat pump installations provided at low or no cost.“

‘The state’s surtax on its highest earners has already generated more than $3.1 billion in revenue this fiscal year, with still two months to be counted, likely leaving lawmakers with a generous surplus to dole out next spring.

The amount, disclosed in a letter released by the state Department of Revenue, already tops the $3 billion the state collected from the so-called millionaires tax during fiscal year 2025. It also far surpasses the $2.4 billion the state projected to spend from the levy in the fiscal year that ends next month.’ - Boston Globe

"The contrast with incumbent Senator Mike Rush could not be starker. Rush has cosponsored zero out of 22 progressive bills featured by Progressive Massachusetts in the current legislative session. In 2018 and 2020, Rush earned an F and a D-minus from Progressive Massachusetts on their legislative Scorecard, based largely on his opposition to criminal justice reform and to legislation backing women's reproductive rights." - JP Progressives
