Washington, D.C. - In the wake of bombshell reporting from the Boston Herald showing that presidential Climate Czar John Kerry is still refusing to disclose public information about his secret taxpayer-funded office, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future, called on Congress to defund the unaccountable slush fund:

“So much for democracy dying in darkness. Whether it’s a Secretary of Defense mysteriously hospitalized, the budget for his Climate Corps, or jet-setting John Kerry’s office, the Biden Administration sure loves keeping secrets,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “The bureaucrats in Kerry’s office are receiving six figure salaries while Joe Biden is spending massive amounts of unaccountable money on the green agenda. While Joe Biden drones on about supporting democracy, he allows secret offices with anonymous staff to spend untold amounts of money without any oversight. If Joe Biden and John Kerry won’t come clean about what they’re doing, Congress should defund their efforts immediately."

According to the Herald’s reporting, Kerry’s office is costing taxpayers $4.3 million a year, yet the staffers’ names are being withheld because reveling their identities “would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of an individual’s personal privacy.” As he approaches the three-year anniversary as Climate Czar, Kerry has stonewalled details about his office until closer to the election.
