Sunshine Committee considers clearing the clouds over the capitol
As noted by Brad Shannon in this Olympian article the Sunshine Committee took testimony on a proposal by Committee chair and elected Seattle City Attorney Tom Carr to remove the "exemption" that makes many legislative records exempt from disclosure. The Committee hopes to vote on a proposal at the next meeting. See the post below for more on the exemption. The article quotes Foster Pepper Public Disclosure Team chair Ramsey Ramerman, who is also a member of the Sunshine Committee.
Here are editorials from the Tacoma News Tribune and the Olympian on the exemption.
