When someone asks me why I am voting for @MikeKennealy, this is one of the many reason why. Side note: I listen to all the candidates but no one ever sounds as authentic as Mike Kennealy. Especially with Minogue, who speaks like he's on a reality show while flying on his helicopter. Minogue reminds me of another fake politician: Maura Healey. Listen and watch Kennealy, you will see the man who will turn Massachusetts around.
Mike Kennealy for Governor@MikeKennealy

There is something within each of us that calls us to serve. To do something greater than ourselves. Turning around the Lawrence Public Schools was one of my proudest achievements. I look forward to bringing this kind of transformational change to Massachusetts.

@MassLtGov FIFA is a criminal(-like) organization robbing tax payers, so of course the Vice Governor for PR and Photo Opps will be pushing it!

Mike Kennealy for Governor
Western Massachusetts has been consistently overlooked by the Healey Administration and denied the respect it deserves. When I take office, I’ll represent all of Massachusetts – newsflash, Governor Healey, that includes Western Mass and communities like Southwick. Thank you to the Southwick Republican Town Committee for having me today.

@realBurhanAzeem New development is new growth so not part of the 2-1/2 calculation year 1.

@MikeforSchools I would also say that I think you can have new development and new growth which is both exempt from prop 2 1/2 and I think solves a lot of these issues for urban communities

Medford passed a $7.5M override. Winchester rejected $11.5M. Somerville froze hiring to avoid the ballot entirely. Three cities, one broken system. Prop 2½ shouldn’t make funding schools and roads a gamble every few years.

@realBurhanAzeem I dont think that's true. Most school overrides i have seen are for operational expenses. Repairs that require additional tax funding should be debt exclusions which is a fixed amount with an end date.

@MikeforSchools To clarify I mean like a lot of overrides are for school repairs and so saying “We need to pay for 5 years to these repairs” but afterwards the increase will go away.

@realBurhanAzeem thanks for the reply. What is stopping towns from doing #1 now (if I understand correctly)? Our town voted down an override last year, which would have raised $5M over 5 years. Is that what you mean by phased in?

@MikeforSchools More later but to answer now 1.Let towns phase overrides in over years instead of all-or-nothing ballot questions 2.Fully fund the reimbursements the state has already promised cities (special ed, transportation, veterans’ benefits) 3.Restore $351M in local aid (MMAs ask)

@KamalaHarris just ask Google: "Gas prices in NC experienced significant volatility during Joe Biden's presidency, reaching a record high average of $4.52/gallon in June 2022. This was a substantial increase from the average of roughly $2.38/gallon when he took office in January 2021"

Here in North Carolina and around the country, gas prices are too high. This is a direct result of Donald Trump's war of choice in Iran, and the American people are paying the price.

@EdMarkey imagine a politician not thinking that if the system is rigged, they are to blame. Not to mention, they are also benefiting from said rigging.

My father was a union leader. I grew up to be a United States Senator. I believe in the American Dream. But right now, the system is rigged in favor of CEO billionaires. We need to tax the rich and make that dream possible for everyone—not just the wealthy few.

Received a text message from my mobile carrier acknowledging my 22 years as a customer. It reminded me that was the year we moved, and our previous carrier had terrible service here. I then thought: "The town never recognized that. Why don't towns treat residents like customers?"

@SenWarren Or how about minimize the tax code to make it as simple and easy as possible. Nah, can't let your donors lose their loopholes.

Northbridge is seeking approval from the voters for a $3.3M override to support school funding. The school district is one of 3 in the state to project a $1M deficit in spending vs. required. That's not good.

NEW @TheAthleticFC World Cup host committee for Boston is providing alternative service to $80 MBTA trains to Gillette stadium… A $95 bus service. Like the trains, no special pricing for children or seniors. Full details: nytimes.com/athletic/71943…

Filed my #taxes over the weekend. Just another check to the government. I think the #IRS should be required to provide a statement which shows where every penny of your taxes were spent. That would be #accountability.
