Wonderful way to end a busy day at the State House—cribbage! I am grateful for all I learned from my grandmother because I was able to hold my own with these veteran players. Thank you Glenn and Joe for asking me (a complete stranger) to join your game on our way from Porter Square to S. Acton! #Community #PublicTransitFun
On Wednesday the Massachusetts House of Representatives voted on H4087 An Act relative to campaign finance reform. While the bill is a great step towards improving accountability—and I thank the Chairs of the Elections Committee for their work—there is room to add additional measures to increase transparency of how candidates receive and expend funds. I filed an amendment because the bill as written did not include any non-elected citizens on the commission that oversees the director of the Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF). This risks putting decision making and oversight powers of OCPF into the hands of those elected officials who have vested interests in the outcomes of the work OCPF accomplishes, interests that may not always align with the public good. Adding two citizens to the commission would mitigate the impacts of this possibility. The amendment I filed would’ve added two members to the commission who have campaign finance, elections, or other legal experience. I believe that if we had added these two non-elected positions to the commission we would’ve taken the needed step to further increase campaign finance transparency. My amendment was defeated 127-30, but I am proud that I filed the amendment and spoke in support of increasing transparency in our campaign financing system. Thank you to all my colleagues who stood in support. #MAPoli
