Meet Massachusetts's first-ever climate chief
The Washington Post via MSN ^ | March 9, 2023 | by Maxine Joselow, Vanessa Montalbano

On the first full day of her administration, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) signed an executive order creating the state’s first-ever climate chief and appointing Melissa Hoffer, a former Environmental Protection Agency official, to the Cabinet-level role.

Hoffer, who previously worked for Healey when she was Massachusetts attorney general, is responsible for ensuring that climate change considerations are incorporated into “all relevant decision-making” at every state agency. Her position mirrors that of White House national climate adviser Ali Zaidi, whom President Biden has tasked with ensuring a whole-of-government approach to climate change within his administration.

But unlike Biden officials, Hoffer doesn’t have to contend with a divided Congress that threatens to stall climate action at the federal level.

But unlike Biden officials, Hoffer doesn’t have to contend with a divided Congress that threatens to stall climate action at the federal level. Instead, Democratic majorities in both chambers of the Massachusetts legislature are likely to help advance Healey’s ambitious climate goals, including 100 percent clean electricity by 2030 and the end of new gasoline-powered car sales by 2035.

That means Hoffer could become an influential climate official in America, and one with the unique opportunity to inject climate considerations into state agencies that have not historically focused on global warming.

What’s her rainbow flag gender status? Is she a “NATURAL WOMAN” or just another male identifying as a female to take full advantage of “International Women’s Month?

Chief? ... Chief?!

Sounds "racially insensitive" to me ... perhaps even a form of "cultural appropriation". Besides, it is technically incorrect. Assuming this a fear-mongering woman, her title should be "Climate Squaw".

Mass politics has long been known for creating useless political positions (with very high salaries exceeding the dreaded private sector) to pay off their mindless followers.

George Soros went after every district attorney office to destroy our country from within. Now he's going after your gas stove and car in your driveway from the local and state level.

Choke these people out in federal courts. Sue them for sharpening a pencil.

When it comes to Mass government your gaydar is useless—it’s more rare to see a heterosexual. It has become a clown show.
