From: Sam The Reporter/Bellingham Herald.
Hey Dave, well it looks like I’ve started the ball rolling on something that is apparently a big deal. After writing an article on a bill in the Washington state Legislature that would exempt some oil and gas pipeline data from public disclosure, I requested the records myself. Now, nine different companies have sued the state to keep the information from me. Seem simple enough? Well now it appears that the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association is rounding up support for an old-fashioned court fight over the information and has confirmed that the Seattle Post-Intelligencer will be taking my records request and filing an identical version. As you can probably tell, Bellingham is just fine with me, I’m having a great time here. I cranked out a breaking news story on this issue just a bit ago: Gas companies fight release of pipeline info/Sam Taylor, Bellingham Herald.
