Just trying to help Massachusetts

[mary z. connaughton @MaryZforMass]

@EversourceMA we hoped to celebrate our nation’ 250th anniversary this weekend in Dennis, Massachusetts, instead we have had no power since 3:23 yesterday afternoon and @EversourceMA can’t give us an estimate of when it will be restored. @JulianCyr

The voters demanded oversight of the legislature at the polls. Why do they continue to operate in darkness? Thanks to the @BostonGlobe for publishing this op-ed by Pioneer's Mary Connaughton and Peter Enrich of the Progressive Democrats of Massachusetts.

AG Andrea Campbell says she "knows what no accountability looks like."

She should! For months, she’s refused to enforce the audit the legislature law, ignoring the 72% of voters who demanded it.

She says, "when we vote, we win." Unless she doesn't like the results, it seems.

The House wants to transfer $314 million to the MBTA for operations and the governor wants to transfer $254 million. Perhaps those numbers could be made a bit smaller if the #MBTA and Keolis do their job: collect fares.

“@NELegalFndtn President Dan Winslow urged lawmakers to embrace the idea, as did @MaryZforMass of the @PioneerBoston and @pauldiegocraney of the @MassFiscal.”

The public deserves to know what's happening behind closed doors on Beacon Hill. State Auditor @DianaDiZoglio is fighting for transparency with her push to audit the Massachusetts Legislature. Let's stand with her. #OpenGovernment #AuditTheLegislature
