Question 1 State Auditors Authority to Audit the Legislature
Description
In this episode of "All Politics is Local," former State Representative Lenny Mirra discusses the implications of Question 1 on the ballot. The question proposes giving the state auditor the authority to audit the Massachusetts legislature. A "yes" vote would allow the auditor to investigate the financial practices of the House and Senate, while a "no" vote would leave the current laws unchanged.
Throughout the discussion, Mirra highlights the importance of transparency in government, the challenges faced in bringing Question 1 to the ballot, and the bipartisan support for the initiative. He also explains how the audit could expose hidden expenses and improve accountability in state government spending. Finally, Mirra shares his thoughts on what could happen if Question 1 passes and the potential hurdles that may follow.
