MA House Considers “Transparency” Bill. The Massachusetts House of Representatives is considering what they are describing as a “transparency bill” called, An Act Promoting Transparency and Public Access in State Government. The bill is in direct response to the ongoing legal battle brought forth by State Auditor Diana DiZoglio, to audit the State Legislature. The measure would allow DiZoglio to audit the administrative functions of both the House and Senate but would not allow an audit of “constitutional functions.” House Speaker Ron Mariano says it would, “establish a clear framework for legislative audits conducted by the State Auditor.” Diana will check in with us on NightSide this evening to discuss!
What is going on with Iran? The U.S. has been engaged in an ongoing conflict with Iran since the end of February with still no end in sight. President Trump said during a podcast this week that "Iran already agreed they are not going to have a nuclear weapon", which seems to be the main reason Trump ordered the U.S. to go to war with Iran in the first place, yet here we are still unable to reach a peace deal. What’s the hold up? The U.S. conducted what they called "self-defense strikes" last weekend in Iran targeting Iranian radar and drone command and control sites. In addition, Pres. Trump is reportedly livid with Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu calling the Prime Minister "crazy" and that Israel’s fighting with Hezbollah in Lebanon is holding back peace talks with Iran. We will discuss.
