BOSTON (Podcast) State Auditor Diana DiZoglio is trying to conduct an audit of the Massachusetts Legislature. DiZoglio was unsuccessful with getting cooperation from legislative leaders as well as gaining a supportive legal ruling from the Attorney General’s office. So now, she is working outside of her state office, to put a ballot question on the November ballot authorizing an audit of the legislature. In this podcast the Methuen resident and former state legislator has rolled out a state-wide signature drive to get the question on the November ballot. Useful links are posted below to get involved with the effort and to make contributions to the ballot drive.
