Accountability for Massachusetts

1. Mismanagement of migrant shelters

• A state audit released May 20, 2025 found “improper and unlawful no‑bid emergency procurements,” excessive costs, poor oversight, and missing documentation in the shelter system for migrants .

2. Accelerated shelter closures amid audit backlash

• Healey sped up the closure of all 32 migrant family hotel shelters by summer 2025—earlier than planned—prompted by the critical audit she herself commissioned. She then gave $3,500 per family so they could rent apartments across MA, thus pricing out existing struggling MA Residents!

3. Failure to backfill school meal funding

• Critics accuse her of prioritizing migrant shelter spending (~$1 billion annually) over replenishing a $12.2 million school meal program cut in federal aid, negatively impacting 200+ school districts and local farmers .

4. Energy policy flip-flop

• The Healey administration candidly described its energy plan as a “confession” of prior failures—repackaging old mandates blamed for high electricity costs, without substantive reform . She bragged about stopping Natural Gas Pipelines and forcing “Electric” which then blew up everyone’s Energy Bills!

5. Overreliance on alternative energy mandates

• Her energy strategy continues endorsing rigid alternative energy mandates, forcing high-cost, intermittent power sources rather than pursuing affordable, reliable solutions like natural gas. She outlawed Gas Cars after 2035!

6. Criticism of withholding municipal grants

• The Massachusetts GOP has accused Healey of using funding as leverage—threatening municipalities that don’t comply with the MBTA Communities Act by withholding grants—mirroring tactics she previously criticized

7. Lack of transparency on travel

• Healey faced scrutiny for failing to disclose details of a four-day out-of-state personal trip—declining to release parts of her calendar, breaking with her usual practice politico.com.

8. Housing and homelessness critique

• Polling indicates 56% of Massachusetts voters disapprove of her handling of housing issues—marking housing as a significant point of concern politico.com.

9. Mixed reactions to emergency shelter reforms

• An Absolute Trainwreck! Illegal Drugs, Gun Trafficing and no Criminal background Checks!

10. Shelter expenditures vs. federal leadership

Healey spent nearly $2 billion on migrant shelters while turning to national political positioning instead of focusing on state-level responsibility .
