If you come across any good news, pass it along.

Gov. Maura Healey could use it.

Her administration is falling apart, or so it seems, and it will take more than attacking President Donald Trump to turn things around.

Even having Attorney General Andrea Campbell file suits against Republican Trump, the way Healey used to do when she held the office, is getting old.

Healey needs to make clear that she works for the people who elected her and not the Democrat Party or the illegal immigrants who have flocked into the state.

Not that Healey is currently in danger of not being elected to a second four-year term in 2026.  She is not.

She polls well and has no Democrat primary opposition. And the three business orientated Republicans running for governor, Brian Shortsleeve, Mike Keneally and Michael Minogue—all of whom are qualified—have yet to make a splash.

It is early in the campaign, of course, but thanks to the public relations tailspin the Healey administration is in, there is plenty of material to use against her, the latest being the arrest of her Western Massachusetts deputy director over charges of cocaine drug trafficking.

He is LaMar Cook, 45, of Springfield, who was arrested last Tuesday while driving his car reportedly without a driver’s license. He was charged with trafficking more than 200 grams or more of cocaine and unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.

Cook was hired by Healey in 2023 and was paid $115,668 for being “a key liaison between the state government and Western Massachusetts.”

Healey’s office said Cook’s behavior was “unacceptable” and that he had been fired.

The news of Cook’s arrest came while a story broke about a convicted sex offender working at the Registry of Motor Vehicles since March who had just been fired.

Leonard Shuster, 64, had been hired by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to process truck company applications at the RMV for a truck safety program, according to MassDOT. His salary was $53,445.

MassDOT said that Shuster “did not interact with the general public” in his job.

Shuster, a registered sex offender in Florida, moved to Massachusetts after having served a decade behind bars, but was not listed on the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry website.

These developments took place while stories broke over the scandal of state troopers being charged or sentenced for selling Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) at the RMV to unqualified petitioners.

This is not to take into consideration the negative reaction to Healey spending billions to house, feed and care for the invasion of illegal immigrants, or the shortfall in federal funds made worse by her constant attacks on President Trump

There was also the controversy over the role that Transportation Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt, since resigned, and MassDOT played over the initial award of a $1.5 billion contract to Applegreen, based in Ireland, for the redevelopment of 18 service plazas. It was an inside ball game all the way.

Critics of the deal said that Global Partners, a local company, could do the job for at least $625 million less.  Applegate has since pulled out of the deal, and Monica Tibbits-Nutt has resigned.

Now Healey will soon name her third transportation secretary.

People come and people go, of course. It happens in every administration.

Yet it is noteworthy that Tibbits-Nutt’s resignation makes her the sixth member of Healey’s 11-person Cabinet to resign.

Economic Development Secretary Yvonne Hao left in April, Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh left in July, Veterans Service Secretary Jon Santiago resigned in August, and Terrence Reidy, Secretary of Public Safety resigned in September.

The good news is that upon election four years ago, Healey had no gubernatorial record to attack. The bad news is that now she does.
