What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

In the gubernatorial race in Massachusetts, Maura Healey and Mike Minogue proposed solutions to rising gas prices. Healey announced she was proposing a temporary suspension of the state's $0.24 per gallon gas tax due to the current crisis. Minogue also called for a gas tax holiday, though he stated it would revert to normal after the election. Minogue detailed a 'Blueprint for a Better Future' that included canceling midcentury net-zero commitments and temporarily suspending the state gas tax.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The candidates' proposals directly address the state's budget and consumer costs related to energy. Healey's administration has been criticized by a rival candidate regarding its handling of high gas prices. Furthermore, a super PAC supporting Minogue has launched negative advertising campaigns against Healey, focusing on her past statements regarding President Trump.

The candidates are engaged in a direct, high-stakes competitive contest for the office of Governor of Massachusetts.
