In her inaugural speech last week, Gov. Maura Healey said that she would direct each agency under her administration to conduct a full equity audit. She expanded on that idea during an interview on Thursday.
Gov. Maura Healey has said that her administration will put an emphasis on equity in all the decisions it makes and on Thursday detailed the"equity audit" that she will soon launch to"get our arms around what's happening on equity right now."
Healey ticked through a litany of ways in which equity could be measured in the audit:"we can measure that in terms of ridership on transportation, public transportation, health outcomes, who's using what in terms of government services ... environmental justice, climate impacts ... what's happening with respect to housing security, food security, and back to representation, what's happening in terms of actual numbers of people working where or appointed where.
"We urge the next Administration to build on our current success, accelerating diversity to better guide our state during these challenging times," Silbert said a few weeks before Healey was elected.
