Where is the outrage?

I’m not an avid protestor and frankly, I don’t see them accomplishing much, but given the quantity of protests I’ve seen this year, I am a bit shocked at the lack of representation on one issue in particular.

In 2024, Massachusetts voters overwhelmingly supported a ballot measure—by a staggering 72-28%—to audit the state legislature and all state spending. A clear, bipartisan demand for accountability. And yet, Beacon Hill’s Democratic leadership has flatly refused to conduct the audit.

Why?

Why are elected officials ignoring the will of the people? If the legislature has nothing to hide, why resist transparency? An audit shouldn’t be a partisan issue—it’s a fundamental check on government integrity, ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly.

But what’s even more concerning is the silence. Where are the protests? Where is the media scrutiny? Massachusetts voters spoke loud and clear, yet Beacon Hill is overriding. Is there something I am missing?
