“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.

"Special records access for media? No thanks"
We wondered which newspaper would be the first to editorialize against the trend this legislative session of attempting to close off access to public records to everyone but the media.
The (Tacoma) News Tribune is the first. A great editorial.
