Question 1: Public Records Law for the Legislature and Governor's Office
Source: boston.com
What does this measure do?
Supports: Anti-Corruption
Makes most records kept by the state Legislature and the governor's office public, with exceptions for policy drafts and constituent help requests. Massachusetts is the only state where those records are closed; it costs you nothing new.
Proposed by: Citizen initiative led by State Auditor Diana DiZoglio
DiZoglio is a Democrat and the state auditor. She led the petition drive and put $150,000 of her own campaign money into it. She wants basic records open without needing an audit.

Legislature and governor's office records stay exempt from the public records law, as now.
