Waltham, MA — Today, it was announced that Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt has stepped down as Massachusetts Secretary of Transportation. Leading Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Kennealy issued the following statement in response:

“Governor Healey should have fired Secretary Tibbits-Nutt the moment she declared she wanted to ‘go after anyone who has money’ and vowed to create more and raise tolls across the Commonwealth.

The era of appointing extreme progressive activists to run our government and tax our citizens into leaving Massachusetts will end when I’m Governor. It’s time for leadership that values competence, accountability, and affordability – not ideological crusades.”
