Of all the problems you may criticize Gov. Maura Healey for, refusing to reveal the place she’s going when she’s out of state shouldn’t be one in every of them.

It’s preposterous to assume she’s not accountable as a result of she’s not bodily in Massachusetts. Additionally ridiculous is the fixed hand-wringing over the necessity to inform the press each time she goes over the border.

Simply to fulfill the vanity of the press, she’s going to place her security in danger?

There are critical, legitimate safety issues over telling individuals the place the Democratic governor is each second of the day.

Simply look what occurred in Minnesota this June, when a state lawmaker and her husband have been killed and one other lawmaker was wounded in a taking pictures assault that was a part of a plot by the alleged murderer to kill Democratic officers and abortion rights advocates.

In response to the shootings, North Dakota eliminated the house addresses of lawmakers from their web sites.

President Trump survived two assassination makes an attempt throughout the 2024 marketing campaign, together with one which missed killing him by inches. A Rhode Island man was arrested Wednesday for threatening to kill Trump, Lawyer Basic Pam Bondi and Deputy Chief of Workers Stephen Miller.

Just a few years in the past, a person waltzed into the house of then Gov. Charlie Baker previous state troopers whereas Baker’s spouse was at house.

Then there was the taking pictures of Gabby Gifford and the taking pictures of Republican lawmakers in Washington whereas they have been taking part in softball.

It’s a harmful time to be a public official.

It’s why Rep. Ayanna Pressley doesn’t reveal the situation of her press conferences except you RSVP first.

And now why Healey has determined to withhold from the general public the place she’s going when she takes every week off.

The wheels of presidency should not going to grind to a halt when Healey is out of city. She will get fixed briefings from employees, can govern remotely, or be on a name in a second’s discover, and lets Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll deal with the ceremonial duties.

The Boston Globe and Republican gubernatorial candidates appear obsessive about Healey’s whereabouts. However the paper definitely had no hassle discovering Healey when she met with Marcelo Gomes da Silva at her State Home workplace, writing a puff piece about it. Or when Healey makes one in every of her frequent journeys to public radio for her “Ask the Governor” phase.

Healey is out in public on a regular basis. She has the suitable to not reveal the place she’s going when she’s on trip or on an out of state official journey.

This obsession in some media with making her disclose the place she is day by day is absurd.

So what if she’s in Cancun or Washington D.C.? What’s so crucial that we have to know that? What do we predict she’s doing that’s so secret?

It’s a standard sense factor. So what if she’s in Bermuda along with her companion for every week? Why is that not allowed?

If she’s away for every week, whether or not it’s to go to household or on trip, she’s nonetheless the governor. She’s not escaping accountability by touring out of city.

Democrats definitely by no means raised a stink when Joe Biden wasn’t seen for weeks at a time or spent each weekend in Delaware at his seashore home
