Ballot Initiative to
Audit the MA Legislature
-
The Massachusetts State Auditor is independently elected by the voters of the state and is tasked with auditing over 200 state departments, agencies, and entities.
-
Every state entity has cooperated with regular audits by the State Auditor except for one: the Massachusetts State Legislature.
-
Despite a long history of being audited, current Beacon Hill leaders are now refusing to be audited.
-
During this time of reduced transparency, we’ve seen power centralized on Beacon Hill and a lack of accountability surrounding the use of our tax dollars.
-
We deserve to know how our tax dollars are being spent and ask voters to make it crystal clear: the State Legislature should comply with an audit.
-
Over 13,000 voters must sign the petition to have this question placed on the 2024 ballot.
-
If approved, it would more explicitly compel the Legislature to participate in these audits that promote transparency, accountability, equity, and accessibility.
