"Given the public’s need to know what their government is doing, the Public Records Act is an essential government duty, not a last-minute classroom assignment done grudgingly," writes George Erb, secretary of the Washington Coalition for Open Government. thenorthernlight.com/stories/op-ed-…

For journalists and other citizens interested in accountability reporting at the state level and non-profit journalism (two of my passions), I’m excited about the upcoming inaugural Collier Prize Symposium for State Government Accountability on Nov. 13. jou.ufl.edu/collier-prize-…

Washington once bragged about having the nation’s strongest Public Records Act. Now? A new study ranks WA 41st out of 44 in transparency and DEAD LAST in response times. Sunshine State? Try Shadow State. Our leaders are failing us. #waleg #transparency tinyurl.com/h4j38fc7

Disturbing Stanford study finds climate change has reduced global wheat yields about 10%. The world now uses 550M acres to grow wheat, which suggests a swath of nature about the size of Kansas has been cleared to compensate for climate-driven yield losses.
