THREAD: It's past time to share the most comically lousy Public Records Act response I've seen from a state agency in my 20+ years as a reporter. Yes I am talking about @ESDwaWorks#waleg
On June 24, 2020, I emailed a records request to @ESDwaWorks for "a complete copy of [ESD Commissioner] Suzi LeVine's calendar from Jan. 1, 2020 through May 31, 2020."
This is basic stuff that can be turned around in a day or two. @GovInslee does so regularly, for example. But on June 29 ESD gave me an ETA of "no later than" Oct. 30 - FOUR MONTHS.
@secstatewa Kim Wyman is kicking off ceremony by praising voter turnout & peaceful transfer of power. She is choking up a bit as she talks about end of "one of the most contentious elections of our lifetime" "This is getting to me today."
@secstatewa Wyman says ceremony is brining the 2020 election to a close. "Thank God," she says.
