- "Top Revenue aide hired for 'technology rollouts' had no experience in data security," by Frank Phillips, Boston Globe: "In September 2016, then Massachusetts Tax Commissioner Michael J. Heffernan persuaded Governor Charlie Baker's budget office to authorize a new $121,000-a-year job, despite a government hiring freeze. His agency was anticipating two major technology rollouts, he said, and they were concerned about security threats. ... But the woman Heffernan hired - a Wellesley neighbor, friend, and donor to his 2014 campaign for treasurer - had no discernible experience in data security or technology, according to documents obtained by the Globe."

- "Complaint seeks to force Mass. Fiscal Alliance disclosure," by Michael P. Norton, State House News Service: "Lawmakers who say they've been targeted recently in their districts by the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance plan to call on state regulators Tuesday to force the non-profit group to register as a political committee and disclose its donors. The Massachusetts Democratic Party joined the lawmakers in filing the complaint with the Office of Campaign and Political Finance, which asks the independent agency to conduct an investigation and also to fine MassFiscal for failing to disclose the top five donors behind the flier campaign."
