[edit] Attorney general unveils proposed legislation

"Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna on Wednesday unveiled a package of legislation he'll give to lawmakers to try to tackle abuse of the state's public records and open meetings laws.

McKenna is joined by State Auditor Brian Sonntag in proposing a bill that would make training on the state's Open Public Meetings Act mandatory for elected officials and require recording of closed sessions once a court finds a government has violated the law intentionally by doing business behind closed doors."
