Mariano ignored MassFiscal’s call for transparency, and the Speaker’s emergency House rules are set to expire on July 15. In early January, the newly elected Speaker took the controversial measure of extending emergency House rules that were originally enacted at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The temporary House rules delayed debate and roll call votes on the permanent House rules, which outline the parameters of operation and govern debate in the House of Representative’s two-year legislative session. Despite Speaker Mariano’s opaqueness and gamesmanship, Senate President Karen Spilka and the State Senate passed their rules in February. MassFiscal Spokesperson/ Board Member Paul Craney said, “Mariano’s Speakership has operated under a cloud of secrecy in which the House doesn’t even have its own rules voted on. No democracy can endure this level of prolonged secrecy…Under ~ HELP WANTED ~ Bilingual Italian or Spanish speaking woman wanted for senior citizen. Light housekeeping, preparing dinner.

Speaker Mariano’s lawless leadership, he’s passed several controversial bills and he is planning to spend billions of dollars in the budget process and from federal COVID relief money. How can the public, or rank and fi le House members, be expected to weigh in if the State House is closed to the public and there are no permanent rules for the House? The answer is that they aren’t.” “By now it’s clear to anyone carefully watching that Speaker Mariano is most frightened of transparency. He will go to great lengths to keep it as far away as possible,” said Craney.
