Taping Bill Apparently Dead

Fueled in part by concerns about reel-to-reel tapes taking up too much space in government buildings (?!), it looks like the bill to require the recording of executive sessions is dead. It didn't make it out of a key legislative committee. This story in The Olympian explains it all.

Here, too, is a story on the bill's apparent demise from The (Vancouver) Columbian.

We say the bill is "apparently" dead because no bill is dead until the final gavel falls at the end of session.
