MASS GOP PATS ITSELF ON THE BACK FOR ELECTING ANOTHER UNOPPOSED GOP CLOWN....
NEMASKET NEWS OFFERED A SOFTBALL INTERVIEW WITH THIS NEWLY ELECTED
STATE REP. WHOSE IGNORANCE WILL HAUNT THE COMMONWEALTH...
Q: What are your thought on the MBTA Communities law?
A: That should be a local decision when it comes to the zoning. Local Planning Boards and the townsfolk have to vote on setting the zoning. In Carver as well as Middleboro, it's pretty much an unworkable situation. I've talked to a few people that are okay with it and I've talked to many people that are against it.
Having been on the planning board in Carver and having gone through Town Meeting and been on zoning committees trying to come up with good policies, it seems that most of the time the state is saying you're going to do it our way or else and that is one of the factors that drove me to do this. Just because something works in Boston doesn't mean it's going to work everywhere else.
MBTA COMMUNITIES ACT WAS PASSED IN 2021 - WHERE WAS JOHN GASKY?
A surprising history of how a bill became the MBTA Communities law
When then-Gov. Charlie Baker signed the bill in January 2021, much of the focus landed on a different zoning measure: a lower, simple-majority threshold for towns to adopt some zoning changes. That's in no small part because Baker had been trying to get that particular measure passed for years. In February 2021, Baker’s housing and economic development secretary Mike Kennealy called that change “the most significant zoning reform in decades.”
The zoning requirements — and the grant eligibility rules — had emerged in a late-night, last-minute compromise between House and Senate lawmakers before the curtain officially closed on their 2019-2020 legislative session. Before Baker signed it, the Massachusetts Municipal Association urged the governor to veto the MBTA Communities language, arguing it would "override local-decision making” and penalize communities that fail to meet the mandate.
But Baker wasn’t swayed. He told lawmakers that while he didn’t propose the section, he would still sign it into law because it gave his administration “considerable discretion to determine compliance.”

Q: With solar energy being a popular renewable energy source in the district, what are your thoughts on it?
A: My feeling is that we're doing everything wrong. The idea that solar and wind is the be all end all on a grand scale is wrong. I think solar is great on a small scale for a house or small building but I don't think the government is serious enough about it. The state has made the decision that this is how it had to be and they're not looking at everything right now. The state is destroying the ecology and ripping down forests in the name of green energy and saying it's a net positive.
There are cleaner ways to get energy, natural gas is actually quite clean and I know everybody likes to think about the carbon footprint but we're all carbon based. I'm not anti-clean energy, I just don't like the state putting it's thumb down on the scale saying this is the only option.
DID JOHN GASKY EVER COMPARE THE BTU & COSTS OF GAS V OIL? APPARENTLY NOT!
LOOK IT UP!
THIS IS SO GROSSLY UNINFORMED, IT NEEDS SERIOUS QUESTIONING ABOUT THE EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS OF JOHN GASKY!
DIDN'T HE EVEN TAKE A CHEMISTRY COURSE?
PART OF HIS MISINFORMED COMMENT IS MAGA LIES....
THIS IS JUST SHEER IGNORANCE BY CHOICE!
GAS = METHANE! IT CONTAMINATES HOMES WITH ADVERSE HEALTH CONSEQUENCES!
CLEAN? HARDLY!
MAGA MAGGOTS GOT HYSTERICAL AT THE PROSPECT OF REDUCING GAS APPLIANCES IN HOMES....LOOK UP THE SCIENTIFIC STUDIES!
IN ADDITION, FRACKING EMPLOYS TOXIC CHEMICALS THAT ARE PUMPED INTO DRINKING WATER & HAVE CONTAMINATED DRINKING WATER....LOOK IT UP!
LOOK UP THE WATER CONSUMPTION FROM FRACKING! IT'S STAGGERING!
CHINA IS PROMOTING CHEAP CLEAN SOLAR AND THEIR ECONOMY IS PROSPERING AS A CONSEQUENCE...CHINA IS PROMOTING CHEAP CLEAN SOLAR & THEY'RE BUILDING ROADS & CREATING ALLIANCES THAT MATTER!
FINALLY...FOOD FOR THOUGHT....
Q: What are you looking to accomplish/set in motion during your first few months?
A: I really want to start building relationships and working on expanding Republican seats in the house. There's a few things that I hope we can get done especially in regards to immigration and protecting religious exemptions.
MORE MANURE, BUT IT'S TIME TO THINK!
