Yet another blue state is seeing more allegations of political stonewalling amid multi-million dollar welfare fraud
For months, investigators have been hauling in suspects as they follow the money trail through social services agencies that bilked Minnesota out of billions of dollars.
Now, a state auditor in Massachusetts is battling political headwinds from fellow Democrats as she tries to see what fraud might lurk at the legislative level, according toFox News.
Massachusetts State Auditor Diana DiZoglio said she has already found $12 million in potential fraud and wants to dig deeper, using a voter-approved law as her weapon.
“What are they hiding? If there’s nothing to hide, open up the doors, let the sun shine in. Let’s do this audit,” she said on the Fox News show “Saturday in America.”
DiZoglio is going to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to enforce a 2024 ballot measure that passed with 72 percent support which lets her audit the state’s legislature.
After examining various programs, the Massachusetts State Auditor’s Office identified almost $12 million in alleged fraud in fiscal year 2025.
Her best step was to audit the legislature, but leaders there will not share documents and the state attorney general’s office will not push for their release.
“This is something that 72 percent of voters came out to support, crossing party lines,” she said.
“You had progressive Democrats joining together with conservative Republicans. And essentially saying that they want this audit to get done,” she said.
