“Today
marks the beginning of a new era of transparency and accountability for the
Massachusetts Senate, and a clear victory for citizens who deserve to know how
members are voting on the issues that affect all of us. Senate Republicans
have worked hard to make this information available, and to garner the
bipartisan support needed to reach that goal.
Providing
timely access to information can and will make our democracy stronger, and the
posting of Senate roll calls in an easily accessible format within 48 hours is
a major milestone. Having reached that milestone, our caucus will
continue the fight to open up what happens on Beacon Hill to the light of
public scrutiny.”
