Former state senator Ben Downing, now is running for governor in Massachusetts, says he wants the state running entirely on non-fossil fuels by 2040.
"I think Massachusetts has the potential to solve these big problems. What we haven't had from our leadership is a sense of urgency and maybe on no other issue is that urgency needed than on climate," Downing said, according to MassLive.
Some may accuse members of the media of giving in-kind campaign contributions in the form of favorable media coverage for some candidates and unfavorable coverage to other candidates.
