In this episode, Massachusetts State Auditor Diana DiZoglio discusses her mission to bring transparency back to state government by rooting out waste and fraud in programs like SNAP and MassHealth. The conversation focuses on DiZoglio’s high-profile legal battle to audit the state legislature—a common practice from 1849 until the early 1990s that was halted following a series of corruption scandals. Despite a 2024 ballot initiative where 72% of voters supported the audit, legislative leaders continue to block access to basic financial records, prompting DiZoglio to urge citizens to support a new ballot measure aimed at expanding public record access and restoring taxpayer trust.
