Dennis Select Board to send letter urging state auditor review of legislature
Summary
The board unanimously approved sending a letter to the state House Speaker and Senate President endorsing implementation of Question 1 from the November 2024 ballot to allow the state auditor to audit the legislature, adopting language similar to a letter previously sent by Yarmouth.
The Select Board reviewed a proposed letter to the Massachusetts House Speaker and Senate President expressing support for implementing Question 1 from the November 2024 ballot, which authorizes the state auditor to audit the legislature. Members noted that Yarmouth and Harwich had sent similar correspondence and suggested adopting Yarmouth’s closing paragraph urging the legislature to “listen to the voters, lead by example” and allow the auditor’s review.
A motion to send the revised letter as discussed was made, seconded and approved unanimously. A board member volunteered to sign the letter and staff will arrange transmission to the legislative leaders.
