The 11 Year Road to 2024 Voter Fatigue and Political Rhetoric

In this week's episode, Jennifer welcomes Diana DiZoglio, the Massachusetts State Auditor. Diana was previously the youngest woman elected to the Massachusetts House and Senate. She navigated a challenging primary without party support and has a track record advocating for transparency and accountability in government. Diana's candid approach to politics is shaped by her upbringing in a straightforward, self-speaking community. As a staunch critic of legislative secrecy, she’s pushing for a ballot initiative, known as "question one," to bring audits and transparency to the Massachusetts state legislature.



Jennifer and Diana dive deep into the critical issues of voter participation, transparency, and bipartisan cooperation in state and local government. They discuss the historical resistance to audits by the Massachusetts state legislature and Diana's bipartisan support for increasing government accountability. The episode also covers Diana’s political journey, from overcoming challenges in a 'legacy seat' to her continued fight against established legislative norms. The conversations are enriched with controversial ideas such as the call for public records laws to apply to the legislature, governor's office, and judiciary and the perennial issue of late budgets in Massachusetts.



“Public trust is built on transparency, not secrecy.” - Diana DiZoglio

Restaurants, Tipped Workers, and Rising Costs - Chris Lane on the Economic Impacts of Question 5

In this week's episode, Jennifer welcomes Kelly Dooner, a trailblazing member of the Taunton City Council in Massachusetts. Elected as the youngest woman to the council in 2021, Kelly has since served as City Council President and contributed to boards like the Taunton Planning Board. She has played a significant role in doubling the senior tax credit and revitalizing the city. Motivated by her dissatisfaction with the state's policies and a desire to secure a better future for her children, Kelly is running for office to bring common sense and fiscal responsibility to Massachusetts politics.

Jennifer and Kelly dive deep into the prevailing issues within Massachusetts' legislative system, including a lack of transparency, one-party rule, and financial inefficiencies. Kelly highlights her campaign to address these shortcomings and her fight for an audit of the Massachusetts legislature. They discuss the "right to shelter" law, which has led to resource strains, and the unaffordability of housing that pushes young people to neighboring states. Touching on small business challenges, they explore the need for a small business bill of rights and reducing onerous regulations. They also investigate the impact of rising insurance rates on residents and the urgency for legislative change to help municipalities control property taxes better.

"It's not just about being elected; it’s about making meaningful changes." - Kelly Dooner

Kelly Dooner Discusses Transparency, Shelter Laws, and Small Business Rights

Today, Jennifer welcomes Sandra Wright, a seasoned politician and advocate running for the House of Representatives from Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Sandra has served as a four-term Plymouth County Commissioner and has a diverse background in medicine, firefighting, and teaching. Her political journey was inspired by personal experiences, including caring for her late son, who was born handicapped, which drove her to become a strong advocate for public health and community wellbeing.

Sandra Wright and Jennifer dive into the pressing issues facing Bridgewater and Raynham, Massachusetts. They discuss the rising trend of residents moving out due to affordability and lack of amenities, claims about Bridgewater State University hiring undocumented workers, and the controversial government policies prioritizing undocumented residents over citizens. Sandra shares her views on the critical need for mental health care, education, and trade skills training. Sandra and Jennifer also highlight concerns about the water shortage, the non-functional water plant investment, and the challenges veterans face, linking these to the broader issues of public resource allocation and immigration policies.

Today, Jennifer welcomes Sandra Wright, a seasoned politician and advocate running for the House of Representatives from Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Sandra has served as a four-term Plymouth County Commissioner and has a diverse background in medicine, firefighting, and teaching. Her political journey was inspired by personal experiences, including caring for her late son, who was born handicapped, which drove her to become a strong advocate for public health and community wellbeing.
Sandra Wright and Jennifer dive into the pressing issues facing Bridgewater and Raynham, Massachusetts. They discuss the rising trend of residents moving out due to affordability and lack of amenities, claims about Bridgewater State University hiring undocumented workers, and the controversial government policies prioritizing undocumented residents over citizens. Sandra shares her views on the critical need for mental health care, education, and trade skills training. Sandra and Jennifer also highlight concerns about the water shortage, the non-functional water plant investment, and the challenges veterans face, linking these to the broader issues of public resource allocation and immigration policies.
