Overview
- State Auditor Diana DiZoglio led a State House rally to demand compliance with the voter-approved audit of the Legislature nearly a year after passage.
- About 72% of voters backed the 2024 ballot measure authorizing the audit, but access to legislative records has not been granted.
- DiZoglio’s general counsel says the office is actively pursuing a lawsuit against the Legislature and has retained Donnelly, Conroy & Gelhaar while determining where to file.
- DiZoglio publicly challenged Attorney General Andrea Campbell to take her to court, arguing the dispute should be resolved by judges.
- Campbell says Question 1 stands as law but insists the audit must stay within constitutional limits, and her office has warned it will seek dismissal of any unauthorized suit; supporters also gathered signatures for ballot measures to expand public records access and reform stipend practices.
