Cease making excuses, present some management and act like a governor, Maura Healey.
As an alternative of bickering with U.S. Legal professional Leah Foley on who stated what, when, Democrat Healey ought to be ordering an audit of each federal help program in Massachusetts.
Foley indicated that the latest $1.1 million advantages rip-off uncovered by her workplace was simply the tip of the iceberg on theft and misuse of public funds.
So what’s Healey’s plan? Why isn’t she being aggressive and making an attempt to ferret out corruption, as an alternative of downplaying and dismissing it?
If she doesn’t do it, President Donald Trump will and that received’t make her look good.
Healey as an alternative is making an attempt to assert credit score for Trump appointee Foley’s investigations and sitting on her governor’s seat whereas thousands and thousands of {dollars} are being stolen below her nostril by unscrupulous criminals exploiting the system.
Does she actually suppose that everybody getting public help cash is entitled to it?

Hi there? How clueless may you be?
Healey is off burnishing her nationwide profile in California and mingling with Patriots’ followers, somewhat than take care of the damaging climate and care for severe points right here at dwelling.
The issue of individuals improperly profiting from public advantages applications to line their pockets shouldn’t be going away, it’s solely getting worse.
She may take a tough stand in opposition to it. However that may battle together with her lefty political beliefs which name on the federal government to supply unlawful migrants with free meals, housing and training.

Nicely, if Healey received’t do it, perhaps a politician with extra guts — like Foley or Democratic Auditor Diana DiZoglio – may order an audit of the entire help applications, together with housing, EBT playing cards and Medicaid.
Or give the job of investigating fraud to Driscoll, if she will be able to put apart her plan to put on one other Dunkin’ Donuts jumpsuit to the St. Patrick’s Day roast.
However don’t maintain your breath for Healey to root out the fraud. She’s on the Tremendous Bowl and can take a move.
