David Ismay, the Baker administration $130,000-a-year climate change undersecretary, has resigned “immediately” citing his incendiary comments.
In a resignation letter he shared with the Herald today, Ismay writes: “It is with great regret that I submit my resignation, effectively immediately, from the position of Undersecretary for Climate Change in the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.”
The resignation letter is addressed to his boss, Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Kathleen Theoharides, and is dated Wednesday, Feb. 10.
Ismay heads out the door after a series of questionable comments about forcing homeowners, motorists and fishermen to prepare for hard times as the state pushes for so-called Net Zero emissions in the years to come.
Even Gov. Charlie Baker bristled at Ismay’s rhetoric, saying the undersecretary does not speak for him.
Ismay laded on the hot seat after MassFiscal posted a video of the undersecretary saying the state needs to “break their will” and “turn the screws on” ordinary people to force changes in their consumption of heating fuels and gasoline. Ismay described the ordinary people as the “person across the street” and the “senior on fixed income.”
That didn’t sit well with the governor.
“First of all, no one who works in our administration should ever say or think anything like that — ever,” Baker said late last week. “Secondly, Secretary Theoharides is going to have a conversation with him about that.”

thats what he gets for using his outside voice instead of his inside voice.
Compost!
“This is a Republican governor Charlie Baker’s administration.”
A Massachusetts Republican is the same as a California Democrat.
Mitt Romney.
I hope there is a video of this. It would make a great campaign add.
Thank goodness this guy’s gone, but...
“Although my comments were interpreted by some as placing the burden of climate change on hardworking families and vulnerable populations, my intent was the opposite.”
He’s not even a good liar.
However this is the Soviet Nature of not just the apparatchiks in MA but all over the world now that are into the Green Religion.
No one will mention that in MA.
* They are closing Pilgrim Nuclear.
* They nixed a NG pipeline
* They nixed an addition LNG Terminal in Boston.
* The won't frack the basin in Western MA along the Connecticut River.
* They are paying through the nose for electricity from Niagara/Canada.
Not to mention the strains O'Biden is putting on traditional energy, and this guy disses the common folk that probably can't rap their heads around what I typed in this post, and that isn't a hit against them.
Where do these clowns really think energy / warmth comes from.
Don't even get me started on the "Die In" by 12 college students to protest a Combined Cycle NG plant in a neighboring state who's Mega Watts will probably go to the Boston area given it's location...

How dare he reveals their secret plans!
Even that commie thug Maxine isn't this blunt...she and John Kerry might want to 'break the will of the people' and 'turn the screws on them' but they don't SAY IT OUT LOUD... I wonder what kind of mansion this jerk Ismay lives in...
That’s what you get for letting the cat out of the bag.

Hey, he was just giving us a heads up - probably the most honest person in the administration (and the dumbest).
If the Guv doesn’t want any of his staff around who “even think that way” he’s going to have to start a whole lot of conversations with a whole lot of people.
Global Warming PING!
Yep, another John Ossoff, but at least Ossoff has a nerdy masculinity about him.
And whatever happened to Cass Sunstein merely nudging us onto the “right” path, or is this the same thing in different terms?
Big media won’t touch this and if they do they won’t use the word “radical left”
I’m sure he will land on his feet at some left wing think tank or maybe a regular guest on MSNBC.
Hmmmmmmm......wadda ya wanna bet Attila Ismay got the job b/c of his liberal “tolerance and compassion”.....snx.
