“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.

House Approves State-Spending Searchable Database Bill
The Washington Policy Center proudly reports that the House voted 94-0 to pass the bill to provide a searchable database on state spending. The Senate previously passed a very similar bill. Now the Senate needs to vote to concur with the House's version and then it's passed. Next stop is the Governor for her signature.
