- The Olympian: "Gov. Chris Gregoire blew it with her appointment of Seattle City Attorney Tom Carr as chairman of a new committee to examine the more than 300 exemptions to the state’s public records act. Carr is a supporter of secrecy in government, not a fan of openness. Greg Overstreet, the former open government ombudsman for Attorney General Rob McKenna, was right when he said that the governor couldn’t have picked 'a more polarizing figure.'"

“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.
