The Public Records Act states that the people of Washington have a right to review public records, and that all public records must be produced upon request unless a specific, statutory exemption would justify withholding a record. Yet despite this clear mandate, the Office of the Governor frequently asserts a privilege not found in statute to shield documents from disclosure. The governor's office insists that the constitutional theory of executive privilege entitles her to shield certain discussions and documents from public scrutiny. However, executive privilege is not a recognized statutory exemption found in the Public Records Act. Since 2007, the governor's office has invoked executive privilege 500 times.

The 2011 Earth Week Cruise-In
Ladies and gentlemen, start you engines! It's time once again for the Iowahawk eco-activism community to greet the gentle breezes of Spring, stomp the throttle and embrace the ultimate MILF: Mother Earth. Welcome to the 6th Annual Earth Week Cruise-In, where my readers proudly display how they get their carbon freak on, vehicular-wise; and not a moment too soon, judging by the snow I witnessed in Chicago yesterday. For the next 7 days I'll be frequently updating this post with entries, reverse chronological style, and I'm predicting we'll top last year's barn-burner.
Own a previously unfeatured CO2-spewer worthy of this showcase? send pics, YouTube links etc. and a pithy description to the email link on left with the subject line "2011 Earth Week" (deadline Saturday April 23). Onward into the carbon fog!
