I believe in being fair, Massachusetts has one Democrat who is willing to call out the corruption.
State Auditor Diana DiZoglio (D): "democracy is essentially dead in Massachusetts"
"Stand up to the Beacon Hill bullies and to say enough is enough. We want our lawmakers to follow the law. We have asked the Attorney General (D) to assist our efforts, but the Attorney General (D) is instead supporting legislative leaders (D) in actually allowing them to continue to violate the law.
Our elected leaders (D) have joined forces to tell us that our vote does not count, to tell us that democracy is essentially dead in Massachusetts, and that when we go to vote for something, the election will simply be denied if they don't like what we say. But since we can't guarantee that our lawmakers (D) will follow the law, that our Attorney General (D) will enforce the law, and that the courts will side with the people, the ballot question that we are working on this time is to subject this statehouse (D) right behind me to the public records law.
Friends, the public records law is a law that all of your city and towns have to follow. It's a law that our office follows. It's a law that all state agencies and departments have to follow, but it's a law that the legislature (D) and governor's office (D) exempt themselves from.
We're talking about basic taxpayer-funded receipts, documents, state contracts, procurement documents, process and procedures, all funded by the taxpayer that are being denied to you, the taxpayer.
And we need to let Beacon Hill know that this is not the politician's house, but this is the people's house."
The contrast in the Massachusetts governor’s race could not be more revealing.
The current Governor, Maura Healey (D), stood before voters and offered virtually no defense of her record. Instead, she screamed about Donald Trump, smeared PragerU as “anti-gay racist propaganda,” and portrayed anyone who disagrees with her as racist, anti-gay, extremist, and dangerous.
Mike Minogue (R) thanked God, his family, veterans, teachers, nurses, fishermen, small-business owners, and the people who supported his opponents.
Healey screamed about Trump.
Minogue talked about affordable housing, better schools, lower energy costs, safer communities, accountable government, ending sanctuary-state policies, and dismantling the one-party system that has made Massachusetts unaffordable.
Healey offered fear, division, and recycled political smears.
Minogue offered service, gratitude, accountability, and a message to people who did not vote for him... “You have a home here. You are welcome here.”
One candidate believes Massachusetts belongs to the Democratic establishment.
The other believes it belongs to the people who live, work, raise families, and pay taxes there.
That is the choice in November.
