Episode 2: Can the state hold itself accountable? Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

The State of Washington has a public official called the Public Records Ombuds who was an attorney under the Attorney General. This person is supposed to help the requestors get records to which they are entitled from state agencies. Seems like a good idea, until you realize that this is really just the government policing itself. Now, in the third iteration of the Ombuds, the ombuds stays silent as the Attorney General deftly evades public records requests.
