Lights Out Mass is a podcast about government transparency — or the lack thereof — in Massachusetts. Hosted by Andrew Quemere of The Mass Dump and Jeff Raymond of Mass Transparency.

The third episode is all about Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and her approach to public records requests. Although the governor is exempt from the public records law, Healey said shortly before taking office that she would comply with it anyway. However, that promise didn’t last long. Laugh along with us as we listen to Healey try to explain her, uh... evolution on this issue. We also discuss proposed legislation that would fix this flaw in the law.
