At the time, the Boston Globe described Healey and the Democrats as "winners" following Kinder Morgan's departure.
"Healey’s office represents the ratepayers and came out with a study last fall asserting that the region over the next 15 years does not need new interstate natural gas pipeline capacity," the newspaper reported in 2016. "Instead, Massachusetts could meet its additional energy needs through efficiency and demand response programs."
Lyons said Friday that the political punishment Healey and the Democrats have inflicted over the years upon natural gas providers will now translate to battered bank accounts and broken family budgets.
"Maura Healey and the Democrats have spent years catering to the radical progressives and their 'green new deal' political pursuits, and now Massachusetts families will be paying the price," Lyons. "This advertisement captures Maura Healey bragging about shutting down a clean source of energy that heats homes and keeps the lights on, and she deserves to be reminded of that fact every single day.
"I am asking people to share this video clip far and wide, because the voters deserve to know the truth -- the Democrats and Maura Healey prioritized radical progressive politics over the ability of Massachusetts families to afford to pay their energy bills, and this winter is projected to be a devastating indictment of their policies."
