Mike Minogue on Budget & Economy

What we need is to grow and invest in innovation

Healey: Donald Trump is driving costs up every single day with his tariffs, with his war, which is raising the cost of everything from gas to groceries. He's gutting funding and making life more expensive. I'm working every day to find ways to make life more affordable.

Minogue: I want to make sure that focus on stopping over spending, which makes overtaxing happen and then overregulating. We already have eight taxes. Those taxes continue to go up. The 100,000 homes were pre-built. That's from Charlie Baker, because we're last in the nation in permits per capita and we have the most expensive electricity, second most health care, most expensive housing, and most expensive child care. What we need is to grow and invest in innovation. But last is we need to make sure we get rid of the gas tax, get rid of a 130 year utility fee that will put thousands of dollars back into the pockets of the people right now that are struggling to pay bills.

Provide transparency and stop overspending
