This blog piece by Preston Mui of the Evergreen Freedom Foundation describes his public records request to Sound Transit. The agency printed out and mailed emails instead of ... emailing them. And they charged Preston for printing them out and mailing them.
Seriously, you should read this piece.
“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.
We warmly welcome your thoughts on og-blog and especially welcome your emails with suggested postings and links to interesting stories and court cases. If you have something to say about open government in Washington State, sending it to og-blog is probably the best way to get it out. Don’t hesitate to contact us at greg@overstreet-law.com.
