he Massachusetts state auditor is headed to court as part of her effort to audit the state legislature.
State Auditor Diana DiZoglio, earlier this year, notified the state legislature that she would begin the audit, after 72% of state voters approved a law permitting her to do so.
However, state lawmakers declined to produce documents necessary for the audit, Fox News reported. She is now challenging the state at the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

That development has turned the public’s attention to state government’s and their attitudes toward enforcing restrictions on eligible recipients of public aid.
