'I warned you': Left-wing governor scraps migrant shelter plan after $1B blowup

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey announced the closure of all remaining hotel shelters in the Bay State amid the formal termination of her executive emergency focused on the state’s Biden-era migrant influx.

Meanwhile, Mike Kennealy -- her Republican rival in the 2026 gubernatorial sweeps who also served as the state’s housing secretary under GOP Gov. Charlie Baker -- is telling the Democrat, "I told you so."

Healey described her emergency order period as a success, saying that when she took over from Baker, "families were being placed in hotels all across the state, and families were staying in shelter for months – sometimes years – at a time."
