flag Massachusetts auditor sues legislative leaders to enforce voter-approved audit power over lawmakers' finances.

flag Massachusetts State Auditor Diana DiZoglio has sued House Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka, seeking court enforcement of a 2024 voter-approved law granting her audit authority over the Legislature. flag Despite 72% public support, legislative leaders have refused to provide financial records, including budgets and settlement agreements, citing separation of powers. flag DiZoglio alleges the Attorney General’s Office obstructed her efforts by declining to assist without more detail, prompting the lawsuit to compel document production and appoint a special prosecutor. flag The case could set a precedent on state transparency and auditor independence.
