"Anyone who doubts the power of the state’s open records law ought to take a look to the east at Spokane, where city fathers are learning the lesson the hard way." (Note: the Tacoma News-Tribune is editorializing about events in a city on the other end of the state. Newspapers care a lot about open government. Agencies should remember this.)

“Og-blog” stands for “open-government blog” and that’s what we do: tell people about open-government issues of interest to regular citizens, media, trade associations, and government agencies. We find interesting stories and court cases from Washington State and other places about the Public Records Act, Open Public Meetings Act, access-to-court rulings, and media law.
We warmly welcome your thoughts on og-blog and especially welcome your emails with suggested postings and links to interesting stories and court cases. If you have something to say about open government in Washington State, sending it to og-blog is probably the best way to get it out. Don’t hesitate to contact us at greg@overstreet-law.com.
