A Massachusetts state senator has introduced a bill that would create a government commission tasked with coming up with ways to reduce the number of miles that residents drive in their personal vehicles to bring the Commonwealth into compliance with the Net Zero carbon mandate, a draconian scheme that advocates insist is necessary to stave off the coming global warming apocalypse.
82-year-old Senate Majority Leader Cynthia Creem who chairs the Massachusetts Senate Committee on Climate Change & Global Warming has filed Bill S.2246, titled “An Act Aligning The Commonwealth’s Transportation Plans With Its Mandates and Goals For Reducing Emissions and Vehicle Miles Traveled” that would require the state MassDOT to “set goals for reducing the number of statewide driving miles.”
The legislation establishes “an interagency coordinating council” that would be responsible for setting fines and penalties to enforce compliance with drivers who will be forced into using public transportation or riding bicycles to limit the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on the environment. Creem’s legislation is modeled after laws and regulations in Colorado and Minnesota, two states that are under the control of far-left Democrats who worship at the altar of the climate cult.
According to a summary, “the bill would establish an interagency coordinating council—similar to the existing coordinating council for EV charging infrastructure—to come up with a whole-of-government plan to reduce vehicle miles traveled and increase access to transportation options other than personal vehicles. The legislation would ensure that Massachusetts stays on track to reduce emissions from transportation, the sector that accounts for the greatest share of emissions in the Commonwealth.”
And a commie.
I couldn’t agree more.
She is 82, why is she worried about the climate, she will be room temperature long before the climate gets her. She does give credibility to the old Billy Joel song “Only the Good Die Young”.
Let’s start with making legislators ride buses or bikes.
Dust off your bicycles everybody !
Remember, Massholes, you pay their fat salaries and provide them with great benefits and pensions so they can screw you and your families to the wall while they enrich themselves and their families off your hard-earned money.
Keep voting left, Massholes and enjoy your subjugation! Same goes for Rhode Island.
. . . And then vote for the same poisonous ideology that destroyed the state they fled.
I second your sentiments, times ten.
What an UGLY bunch of people!!!!
MA has been depopulating for decades.
A recent headline...
I have a woke sister in law who lives in western Mass. but has to frequently visit a hospital in Boston. She will be surprised when she has to make the 140 mile trip (one way) on a bicycle, especially in the winter.
Trial run for the whole country. Make no mistake. This is every deep state democrat’s wet dream. It’s the final nail in the control of the populace. They want us as slaves, sitting in our government issued box apartments as cowering slave-servants, afraid to utter a word against the state, and grateful for the bug gruel they allow us to slurp off the floor each day.
They are dirty, filthy communists.
Delivery costs are going to skyrocket.
Just like prohibition the issue is about to get worse.
Look at those faces.
The nearest train station is 198 miles from my home...
Hard pass on this.
There shall be NO taxpayer funds spent on any type of fossil fuel.
All Public Employee’s shall be guilty of a FELONY, punishable by a minimum of 5 years in PRISON for using any type of transportation that uses fossil fuels
PROBLEM SOLVED
“...She’ll get her wish when half the people in Mass depart for saner states....”
And therein lies the problem.
Most sane conservatives that existed there left a loonnngggg time ago.
These msashole basstids move up to New Hamshire and Maine, get involved in those state governments there bringing the same BS that they left behind [n MassHoleLand to those states screwing them up just as bad as the craphole they crawled out of.
That’s most of the problem in Maine’s state government: It’s not the native Mainers per se, it’s these masshole transplants. Native Mainers despise these basstids with a passion, but cannot outvote em..
Maybe they should NOT be allowed to leave their “beloved” craphole. Perhaps, the Masshole state government should also levy a huge, massive exit tax on these miseralbe basstids to try and keep em right where they are to “enjoy” the quagmire that they created.
bert’s executive order 01:
The commonwealth of Massachusetts is hereby abolished. No citizens of that place shall be allowed to exit for travel within the continental 47 United States
