About Half Of Mass. Quasi-Public Agencies Fail To Report Spending

Quasi government agencies in Massachusetts provide public services and receive state financial support but operate with less accountability than traditional state offices. After the passage of a 2010 transparency law, these agencies have been required to provide their financial records for the State to post online.

But, a Boston Globe report has found that 19 of quasi-public agencies have not disclosed financial data for at least one of the past three years.
