Milligan, Executive Director HELP REPUBLICANS END THE MONTH STRONG MassGOP Calls for Resignation of Treasurer Deborah Goldberg, Citing Wasteful Spending Call to Resign Comes After Goldberg Drops Appeal of O'Brien Suit   FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BOSTON, MA -- Massachusetts Republican Party Chair Amy Carnevale on Friday called for State Treasurer Deborah Goldberg to resign, citing the millions of dollars wasted in her lawsuit brought by Cannabis Control Commission Chair Shannon O'Brien and wasteful spending in other areas of her office. Goldberg was previously told by a state judge that she committed "clear error" in accusing O'Brien of gross misconduct, but chose to continue appealing O'Brien's wrongful termination suit until it became obvious that she had no viable path forward. The "bricks" of Goldberg's case against O'Brien, the judge concluded, were as "thin as playing cards." "Treasurer Goldberg has been in office 11 years, and in that time she has managed to turn a thriving arm of state government into the capital of out-of-state junkets and Cadillac catering. Her lackluster defense for firing Commissioner O'Brien is just the tip of the iceberg," said MassGOP Chair Amy Carnevale. "Since it's not her money, she doesn't care. "There is a pattern of apparent negligence and disregard, from junkets and holiday meals to credible reports of nepotism in her office. She abused her position by allowing cronyism and waste to flourish. "It's no wonder why Republicans are eager to introduce a serious challenger for the Office of State Treasurer in 2026." Some of the Treasurer's most outrageous bills include: $4,700 spent by the Lottery in 2025 for high-end dining at The Chateau A record $62,000 spent on out-of-state travel in 2025 Over $385,000 spent on supplemental salaries in 2025 to match manager pay with union pay increases 2025 -- $16,814 spent on meals and catering (Treasury) 2025 -- $21,530 (Lottery) 2024 -- 28,620 spent on meals and catering (Treasury) 2024 -- $19,429 (Lottery) 2023 -- $37,903 (Treasury) 2023 -- $17,482 (Lottery) 3 YEARS WASTEFUL MEALS TOTAL: $141,889 2025 -- $385,340 stipends, bonuses, and awards for non-union managers (Treasury) 2025 -- $29,948 (Lottery) 2024 -- $2,930 (Treasury) 2024 -- $20,643 (Lottery) 2023 -- $34,052 (Treasury) 2023 -- $1,305,164 in overtime pay (Lottery) 3 YEARS WASTEFUL SALARIES: $1,778,077 2025 -- $62,869 out of state travel, including airfare, hotel, and lodging (Treasury) 2025 -- $47,715 (Lottery) 2024 -- $49,265 (Treasury) 2024 -- $46,485 (Lottery) 2023 -- $73,843 (Treasury) 2023 -- $17,480 (Lottery) 3 YEARS WASTEFUL TRAVEL: $297,657 2025 -- $22,210 in housing allowances (Lottery) 2024 -- $28,486 (Lottery) 2023 -- $25,952 (Lottery) 3 YEARS WASTEFUL HOUSING: $76,648 2025 -- $649 in clothing allowances (Lottery) 2024 -- $1,987 (Lottery) 2023 -- $1,777 (Lottery) 3 YEARS WASTEFUL CLOTHING: $4,413 2025 -- $11,578 on overtime meals (Treasury) 2024 -- $11,402 (Treasury) 2023 -- $11,582 (Treasury) 3 YEARS WASTEFUL OVERTIME MEALS: $34,562 2025 -- $14,240 on conferences, training, and membership dues (Treasury) 2025 -- $11,255 (Lottery) 2024 -- $10,973 (Treasury) 2024 -- $4,091 (Lottery) 2023 -- $22,456 (Treasury) 2023 -- $3,326 (Lottery) 3 YEARS WASTEFUL CONFERENCES: $66,341 2025 -- $14,986 on "exigent" job-related expenses (Treasury) 2025 -- $8,242 (Lottery) 2024 -- $22,523 (Treasury) 2024 -- $8,035 (Lottery) 2023 -- $17,160 (Treasury) 2023 -- $6,264 (Lottery) 3 YEARS WASTEFUL JOB EXPENSES: $77,210 2025 -- $4,986 on bottled water (Treasury) 2025 -- $13,043 (Lottery) 2024 -- $5,579 (Treasury) 2024 -- $12,076 (Lottery) 2023 -- $4,392 (Treasury) 2023 -- $11,189 (Lottery) 3 YEARS WASTEFUL BOTTLED WATER: $51,265 2025 -- $1,506,157 for space rental (Treasury) 2025 -- $5,675,276 (Lottery) 2024 -- $1,543,641 (Treasury) 2024 -- $5,351,861 (Lottery) 2023 -- $1,516,762 (Treasury) 2023 -- $5,118,208 (Lottery) 3 YEARS WASTEFUL SPACE RENTAL: $20,711,905 Background: All data was provided by the Comptroller's CTHRU Spending website.
