They did not go as far as they could have, but the fact that they went as far as they did was only possible because of people like you who emailed, called, and met with your legislators. But the fight isn’t over yet. The House and Senate have to negotiate the differences between their respective proposals for Joint Rules. A six-person conference committee was recently appointed to oversee these negotiations: Sen. Cindy Creem (D-Newton) Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem) Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) Rep. Mike Moran (D-Brighton) Rep. Bill Galvin (D-Canton) Rep. David Muradian (R-Grafton) In recent sessions, these conference committees have stalemated. But this session can and must be different. Legislators have felt the pressure from the public that voters across the commonwealth want to see these changes. Let’s keep the momentum, get this done, and get to the important work across so many urgent issues facing the Commonwealth. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/ma-transparency-march-2025
