Chatham Select Board votes to send letter backing state audit of Massachusetts legislature
Summary
The Select Board voted unanimously to send a letter to the House Speaker and Senate President supporting an audit of the Massachusetts legislature by the office of the state auditor, citing local ballot support and similar actions by nearby towns.
The Chatham Select Board on June 2 approved sending a letter to the Speaker of the Massachusetts House and the President of the Senate urging an audit of the state legislature by the Office of the State Auditor, consistent with the outcome of ballot Question 1 (Nov. 4, 2024).
Stuart, who brought the item, said the town voted in favor of an audit with about 62% support locally and noted similar letters from nearby communities. He also referenced a state‑level result he described as about 72% in favor. After brief discussion the board moved and approved the letter by unanimous roll‑call vote.
