"State Auditor Diana DiZoglio held a rally on Wednesday to pressure the State House into complying with the audit of the state Legislature voters passed into law last year. In 2024, 71.6% of voters answered "yes" on the ballot in support of auditing the state Legislature. Nearly a year since the initiative became law, the state has yet to allow the audit to be conducted, DiZoglio said."
"On Oct. 10 on The Grace Curley Show, DiZoglio said the Office of the State Auditor is "there to help, and if anyone in government is pushing back on something as simple as an audit where we're trying to look at records and process and procedures to help make government work better, one has to wonder: What are they hiding?""
State Auditor Diana DiZoglio organized a rally to pressure the State House to comply with a voter-approved audit of the state Legislature. Voters approved the audit initiative with 71.6% support in 2024, but the audit has not been allowed nearly a year later. About 60 rally attendees, including Republican state representatives, chanted for an audit. DiZoglio framed the rally as bipartisan opposition to Beacon Hill leadership and said the Legislature's refusal undermines democracy and disenfranchises voters. DiZoglio questioned whether officials are hiding information and accused House Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka of denying records and abusing power.
