I seem to recall our planet has gone through ice ages and meltings throughout our planet's existence. Get our basic infrastructure and water up to par, then we can consider fixing climate. Besides as science reveals, "our environment is cleaner today than it was since the 1950s." TCI is just another name for increasing gas taxes for working Americans. |

I am against the TCI. If it is good policy, let the lawmakers in each state vote on the individual proposals. No additional gas taxes should be used to battle climate change. I am against the TCI.

We repealed the automatic gas tax increase at the ballot box in 2014 by a margin of 53-47. All new taxes are supposed to originate in the House of Representatives not with the Governor. We need to see which of our elected office holders are in favor of this disastrous initiative and hold them responsible at the ballot box. Enough of these crazy schemes! Just look to California to see what it has done to the price of a gallon of gas over now over $4.00.

The fact is that the earth has been rotating on its axis and revolving around the sun for millions and millions of years. It is a living entity, so it is subject to change. If we believe scientist of all ages, they have witnessed change and recorded their observations for thousands, not multi-millions, of years. The world as we know hypothetically should not go through catastrophic change over the next millennium. Unless, of course, stupid politicians decide that nuclear bombing becomes a necessary purging! Politicians are liars and panderers. This country belongs to “We the people”. Now is the time for “intervention“!
Our state official and government employees act as if they are in charge. Get rid of all “non-essential” personnel and reduce the budget. |

I equate it to the state providing shooting galleries for drug addicts. The ma state beaurocrats need to put as much effort into spending less money on themselves than trying to raise more with additional taxes. Look no further than CT and ny to see the consequences.

Climate fluctuation is a normal activity that has been happening since the earth was created. Limiting CO2 emissions so people can feel good about themselves should not burden the taxpayers or drag down the economy. Can government actually work on important items? I agree with Governor Sanunu, just say NO! |

How many scientific reports, grim news articles and shocking images will it take to jar people to change their daily habits and consumption patterns. I feel optimistic that people are becoming acutely aware of how dire the situation is, but feel that we need policy to drive change at the highest level.
I call on the Gov. Phil Scott of Vermont to agree to all terms of the TCI. |

After 20 years of traveling the expressway to and from my job, I use to sit in my car and try to decide what would it take for me to leave this driving nightmare and yet arrive at work timely and efficiently. I had to ask myself what would incentivize me and others to change our daily driving habit of getting to Boston? The only answer I could arrive at was a full-service monorail system that would be elevated right down the center of the expressway with strategically placed stops and parking nearby. The monorail would have wires included in the railing that would prevent the buildup of ice and snow allowing an enhanced speed without the danger and delay to the drivers that they are constantly subjected too. Putting such a system down the middle of this highway would serve as a constant reminder to drivers and motivation that there exists a better way to get to and/or from town most expeditiously. This project could put in place in phases and probably attract both private and federal funding. This would solve our current dilemma of convincing our drivers to leave their cars in more strategic locations and/or at home.
I would love to work on such a project as it is my opinion a WIN-WIN for all of us both for personal and businesses alike. |

We did not consciously vote for Representatives to take it upon themselves to spend, spend, and spend. We elected our Representatives to work in our best interest. No candidate was voted into office with a carte blanche credit card. Our expectation is that our Representatives work diligently to reduce unnecessary costs and balance the state budget. The citizens of Massachusetts elected NOBODY to fall in line behind any Senate or House leaders. It was our intent to elect independent thinkers who ensured us that they have our backs. Continually raising taxes is not what was expected. If I want to buy a new house, or car, I reduce spending and save in order to do so! I expect the same from my Representatives. |
