Yakima Herald-Republic Editorializes Against Soter Decision

Add the Yakima Herald-Republic to the long list of newspapers editorializing against the recent Soter decision. Here's a snippet:

That's how we got 300 exemptions over the years -- a trend that must be reversed in the spirit of the public's right to know about its public agencies."
