[edit] King Co. to pay blogger $225K for witholding docs

"King County has agreed to pay conservative blogger Stefan Sharkansky $225,000 to settle a public records lawsuit he brought over the county's delay in releasing documents about the 2004 governor's election.

Sharkansky filed his request in December 2004, seeking a list of everyone who voted in the county in the election that year, but the county didn't satisfy the request until more than two years later."
