Government transparency and representative accountability are fundamental principles in our democracy. Since the founding of our nation, Americans have emphasized the importance of holding officials accountable and being allowed to know what’s happening behind the scenes, yet the Massachusetts State House has failed to provide adequate procedures and rules to ensure the actions of our representatives are transparent.
Massachusetts has received failing scores for its lack of openness and opaque procedures in our States House. According to a report card released by Open States, a project of the Sunlight Foundation, Massachusetts ranks 47th out of 50 for transparency and openness, yet local media and politicians have completely ignored the issue, leaving voters in the shadows once again.

WE MEET AGAIN It s the first day of March, the month where the pandemic upended everything last year. And in some ways it feels like that month never quite ended.
