Green-Rainbow Party candidate for State Auditor Nat Fortune hit Roxbury yesterday explain his positions on school funding, transparency, health care finance, and the very long list of sweetheart deals gone bad. Nat joined five of the six candidates for this position at a “Get Out the Vote Coalition State Auditor and Treasurer Candidates Forum” at the Reggie Lewis Center in Roxbury that was well-attended by Boston-area supporters.

You need to be able to follow the money. And to follow the money you need to be able to not have to worry about where that money trail leads you. That means you have to be independent of the parties, the interests, the insiders and the lobbyists that are running Beacon Hill and not have to worry about who you are going to embarrass or what contribution you are going to imperil.
