This will surely be a stain on the history of this Commonwealth. Listen to the Auditor describe the horrific “transparency” bill we will be voting on tomorrow. I will be an obvious no vote because this is not what the 72% voted for at the ballot box.
“With this proposed bill & under the guise of transparency, your state reps are not only throwing the 72% voter-mandated law in the dumpster - they’re taking a match & lighting that dumpster on fire, violating the People’s constitutional rights & undermining democracy.” #mapoli
Happy to be quoted in this article pointing out one more way (on a long list) that the legislature lacks sufficient transparency for our constituents. Thanks to @kellygarrity3 for reporting this story and bringing the issue to light.
Proud to be a member of the caucus fighting to bring sustainable long term success to the Commonwealth. We cannot continue down the same path. Through common sense amendments and holding the line we can find a better way. #mapoli
Excited to serve on my first conference committee. If we are going to have this surtax it must at least go to benefit our schools and local communities. I look forward to being at the table for these conversations. #mapoli
@johnfgately@MarcTLombardo Not even sure what they are trying to claim or insinuate here or who they are trying to attack. I certainly don’t see it as an insult that I am proud to speak up for my constituents on the floor!
Before any signatures were gathered, Senate President Spilka moved to block a ballot question applying public records law to the Legislature.
If they had already made up their mind, the hearing was theater.
Everyone else follows the law, why should lawmakers get an exemption?
Proud to take up the fight on energy affordability with my Republican colleagues last week. We stood for common sense amendments to a lackluster bill and kept the debate going until nearly 11pm. We will not stop until your voice is truly heard on Beacon Hill.
More lies from the AGO. She must be too busy suing and bullying our towns at the direction of the Governor over the MBTA Communities Act to comply with the law and the Auditors request. Keep up the fight @DianaDiZoglio
@DerekBennettMA@ShortsleeveMA This is great! Spot on as well! We need more people to see that change is necessary and I hope day by day we reach new voters open to that change.

Really excited to be live next week with the Republican Response to Governor Healey’s State of the Commonwealth. I do not know how she could spin the last two years as anything but failure so we will be sure to hold her claims, and her record, to account.
We are happy to announce we’ve turned in over 100k raw signatures to subject the Legislature and Governor’s office to the public records law. We just need 75k of the 100k+ to be certified by the clerks now — and we’re back. 🙌 #mapoli
