On the same day she announced she won’t seek a fourth term next year, Massachusetts State Auditor Suzanne Bump released a report this morning alleging improper use of funds by Berkshire County Arc. The Pittsfield-based nonprofit provides services to people with disabilities. Bump says the organization misused almost $780,000 from the millions it receives annually from state agencies. The report examines the years between 2017 and 2019. Neither Berkshire County Arc nor the Berkshire County District Attorney’s office immediately responded to a request for comment on the report from WAMC News. WAMC spoke to Bump about the audit report, as well as her decision to not seek reelection in 2022.
