Massachusetts voters support enforcing Legislature audit law

news.yahoo.com

A recent poll shows that nearly 81% of Massachusetts voters want Attorney General Andrea Campbell to enforce a law allowing audits of the Legislature. This follows previous support for the law, but efforts to implement it have stalled. Auditor Diana DiZoglio has faced delays in using her new powers, citing a lack of cooperation from Campbell. The Attorney General claims DiZoglio has not provided necessary information for her to act. The poll also revealed strong opposition to Governor Maura Healey's proposed taxes, with 78% against a new vehicle excise tax surcharge and 82% against a pharmacy assessment. Voter sentiment indicates significant discontent with certain state policies.
