The Boston Globe reported last week that the governor's office would not disclose where the governor went during a four-day trip out of state last month, even when askedMassachusetts Gov. Maura Healey doubled down Monday on maintaining privacy for her and her family, after her administration reportedly refused to disclose where she went when she left the state for four days last month.
"Due to security concerns, we will not be advising the Governor's travel in advance," spokeswoman Karissa Hand said at the time."The Governor is engaged in her work at all times and keeps in constant communication with her team no matter where she is." Whenever the governor leaves Massachusetts, the executive powers are passed on to the lieutenant governor. If the lieutenant governor is also away , the powers go to the secretary of state.
