Both Connecticut and Massachusetts have withdrawn from the climate pact of cities and states represented at “FLOP26” by Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee but steered by Sir Michael Bloomberg through his anti-nation Global Cities Alliance. Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker withdrew his state on Nov. 18 from the multi-state pact to reduce carbon emissions in transportation, according to the WBUR, the public media radio station affiliated with NPR. Baker said he is withdrawing from the Transportation and Climate Initiative because not enough states are committed to it. “The Baker-Polito Administration always maintained the commonwealth would only move forward with TCI if multiple states committed, and, as that does not exist, the transportation climate initiative is no longer the best solution for the commonwealth’s transportation and environmental needs,” Baker’s press secretary said.
Connecticut had withdrawn on Nov. 17, the day before, citing high gas prices, reported the Boston Herald.
