By Grette Buttner, Banner Staff The Massachusetts Ballot questions present five important issues regarding pre-existing and new legislation, which Massachusetts residents will vote on during Election Day. Depending on the  results, the laws concerning each ballot initiative will either be updated or remain the same. The first ballot question would allow the State Auditor, an officer who examines state entities to ensure the government is working well, to alter not only state entities but the legislature’s processes and responsibilities themselves. Proponents of the initive claim this power will allow for more transparency in the Massachusetts Legislature. Counterarguments maintain that the change will disrupt the balance of power within the Legislature.
