Republican Mary Connaughton, who often challenged Mass. Turnpike officials during her tenure on the board of that authority, will run for state auditor in 2010, she told the News Service late Wednesday.... "My goal is to facilitate transparency for all agencies throughout the state," Connaughton said. "I believe that government is for the people and not for government. I want to get the message out as to how money is being spent so people understand where the tax dollars and fees are going."
What I know of Mary Connaughton, I like. She asks tough questions that people don't want to answer, and generally makes a nuisance out of herself. Plus, she has been known to appear on BMG. Excellent qualifications for Auditor, wouldn't you say? This could turn into a terrific race.
