The legislature has until Thursday to cough up some information sought by the State Auditor.

State Auditor Diana DiZoglio has warned she would soon send them a records request to begin an audit of “high-risk areas, such as state contracting and procurement procedures, the use of taxpayer-funded nondisclosure agreements, and a review of your balance forward line item — including a review of all relevant financial receipts and information.”

“We ask that all requested records and information be made available to us within 72 hours of the date of request,” she wrote.

The records request arrived Monday evening. At the same time, the State Senate sent the auditor’s letter to a newly created subcommittee to consider their next steps. A spokesperson for House leadership did not provide insight into the lower chamber’s response.

According to the auditor, 72 hours is the same window that “everybody else gets” but can be extended to 15 days.

DiZoglio’s efforts to look into legislative affairs come after a broad majority of Massachusetts voters approved a ballot question in November ostensibly giving her the authority to do just that. The law took effect on Friday.

The auditor has maintained that she has the power to audit the Legislature since she started campaigning for the office, but has met pushback from both House Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka.

The lawmakers have said that their affairs are not subject to review by the Executive Branch of the state government, and that their work is already audited by outside agencies.

According to the auditor, she’s currently in a holding pattern waiting to see if the Legislature will comply. If they don’t she’ll need the Attorney General’s Office to challenge them in court.

“The AGO has communicated to us that they are currently unwilling to take a position on this issue. It has instead informed us that unless the Legislature outright refuses to cooperate with our audit, or to provide specific documents requested in connection with our audit, they are unwilling to get involved,” she told the Herald.

DiZoglio said she’s remaining “cautiously optimistic,” but that as it stands lawmakers appear to be “conspiring to violate the law that nearly 72% of voters passed via ballot initiative.”

“The actions of the Legislature in recent weeks have been incredibly disappointing. The voters spoke loud and clear. This is no longer up for discussion,” she said.
