A handful of mostly Republican lawmakers in Massachusetts want the state's governor to fire David Ismay, the state undersecretary for climate change.
Eight representatives signed a letter to Governor Charlie Baker saying that he needs to immediately dismiss Ismay from his administration in the wake of comments Ismay made in a video uncovered by the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance last week. Seven are Republicans; one is a Democrat.
Democratic candidate for governor Ben Downing thinks personal responsibility is overrated when it comes to the coronavirus emergency — and wants people to make sacrifices for "the common good."
Downing, who announced this past weekend that he will run for governor of Massachusetts next year, clarified his take on coronavirus measures in a radio segment for WAMC in December 2020.
