Lights Out Mass is a podcast about government transparency — or the lack thereof — in Massachusetts. Hosted by Andrew Quemere of The Mass Dump and Jeff Raymond of Mass Transparency.
In our second episode, we interview journalist Laura Kiesel about the importance of remote access to public meetings for people with disabilities and the difficulties she’s encountered when requesting accommodations from Arlington, the town where she lives. We also discuss proposed legislation that would require hybrid meetings and the opposition from local officials, who say they prefer “flexibility” to “mandates.”
