Apparently WA legislators from both sides of the aisle (GOP and Democrats) are fighting these requests for both their calendars and texts. Lawyers for both the Senate and House have responded on behalf of lawmakers, making the argument that under the state's definition of legislative records, the calendars and most text messages are not public records. It would be nice to have a bit more info on the "who, what, where, when," of this story. I would like to see a more transparent government, but haven't succumbed to say this is only one party's problem. I'd say there's a reluctance by legislators of both parties to comply with our State Public Records Act.
