Show Notes
Activists in Massachusetts challenge lawmakers extra pay, proposing a ballot question to tie stipends to actual work done, potentially slashing leaders total extra pay by over $500,000. Lawmakers counter with a constitutional challenge, arguing it interferes with their power to set internal rules. Critics point to low productivity and lack of transparency, with only 28% of voters approving of the legislatures performance. The push for reform includes expanding public records laws and calls for audits, with tensions boiling over at a recent hearing during Sunshine Week.
