@seattletimes I should note @InvestigateWest has been all over this issue, pretty much foreshadowing this lawsuit, which has been in the works for while.

Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer jury selection continues, but looks like trial may be delayed. Attorney Anne Bremner says Troyer tested positive for influenza A, negative for COVID. Livestream here:
piercecountywa.gov/7884/Trial-Inf…
Troyer has right to be in court for jury selection, so this seems likely to bump that back, and delay opening statements in the trial, which were scheduled for Monday.
Defense moves to continue the jury selection until Monday. Prosecutors object.

OPB: Joe Kent releases documents amid questions over who is paying US House candidate’s salary opb.org/article/2022/1…
The Kent campaign also shared copies of W2s with the Seattle Times today, stating the company paying him is "Advanced Enterprises Solution" not "American Enterprise Solutions" as he has been saying and reported in ethics forms.
The owner of the company, Sean Reed, donated to Kent's campaign, listing his employer as "Self employed." The firm also received a $265k PPP loan in 2020, which was forgiven, saying it preserved 18 jobs.

Short thread: (1/5) If SCOTUS indeed is about to overturn Roe, it will put a spotlight on contrasting views of @SmileyForWA and @PattyMurray in WA's 2022 Senate race. #waelex
(2/5) Smiley, the likely GOP challenger to WA's five term senior senator Murray, reportedly backed Texas law banning virtually all abortions thehill.com/homenews/campa…
(3/5) But in an interview with me in Feb. she backed off that view, saying she didn't support the TX law, which allows individuals to sue anyone aiding an abortion seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p…

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.

Happening now: Washington's 12 presidential electors voting in Electoral College seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p…
@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.
