"Massachusetts Undersecretary for Climate Change David Ismay has resigned after candidly admitting that climate regulators intend to “break your will” to force you to change the way you heat your home and travel.
Here’s what Ismay said:
“So let me say that again, 60% of our emissions that need to be reduced come from you, the person across the street, the senior on fixed income, right
… there is no bad guy left, at least in Massachusetts to point the finger at, to turn the screws on, and you know, to break their will, so they stop emitting.
That’s you.
We have to break your will.
Right, I can’t even say that publicly.”
Ismay made the statement during a video conference with Vermont “Climate Council” members.
... Paul Diego Craney of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, which posted the video, told the Boston Herald that the clip provides a “sneak peek into the minds of regulators.”
It is “frightening to think an official so high up in the Baker administration is bragging to an out-of-state group about the economic pain he wants to inflict on the very people whom he’s supposed to work for.”
Eight Massachusetts legislators, seven Republicans and one Democrat, wrote to Governor Baker demanding he fire Ismay immediately.
... David K. Ismay has resigned
... Massachusetts appears to be vying with California to produce the most arrogant, out-of-touch, scientifically and economically foolish climate officials."
