Good for new Commissioner Randy Ross and veteran Vickie "I'm a Democrat. I've always been a Democrat" Raines for letter Cormier's motion die on the vine for lack of second. The public gets to see a contract and comment on the contract prior to the vote. They don't need to be in the room to see how sausage is made.

I agree. Labor negotiations are complicated enough without having to worry about every word being uttered winding up in the newspaper. Although, I admit that it might have been entertaining.

It ain't over. Senate Bill 5545 would make this "transparency" a state law rather than a local option.

Speaking of transparency, KBKW published notice of this above the byline of "Jason Mercier".
Mr Mercier works for the Washington Policy Center and KBKW's item was lifted from his blog.
SourceWatch identifies WPS as an affiliate member of the State Policy Network with ties to the Koch brothers and the American Legislative Exchange Council.

Neither the fact this comes from a Koch Bros. source nor the knowledge the KBKW DustBowl Corral puts it on their website comes as any surprise.
