<v Speaker 3>between the state auditor and state legislature. Auditor Diana Dezaglio

88
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.319
<v Speaker 3>sent a formal records requests this week to both the

89
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.680
<v Speaker 3>House and the Senate with a seventy two hour order

90
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 3>to comply. She has demanded records of non disclosure agreements

91
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.680
<v Speaker 3>and financial receipts. Time's up at three point fifteen this afternoon.

94
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 3>chambers on Beacon Hill, But then Beacon Hill leaders immediately

95
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.839
<v Speaker 3>approved a rules change that would instead give that oversight

96
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.480
<v Speaker 3>to an independent auditor. The auditor was mad and threatened

97
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.519
<v Speaker 3>to go to court. Reporters asked the House Speaker this week,

98
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 3>will you turn over these records by today's deadline? As

99
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 3>answer was, compliance is in the eyes of the beholder.
