Information clampdown in Olympia

It's pretty tough to get news out of the Legislature on what's going to happen with the state budget. Rich Roesler had a column about that. Now, here's a Seatte Times writer wondering why House Leader Frank Chopp won't meet the press.

Must be pretty awful news if it's being guarded so zealously from the pubilc (and lobbyists), but don't we already know that? Bring it on. The sooner we know, the sooner we can debate.

A Matter of Opinion is really a matter of three opinions – those held by the people responsible for the opinion pages of The Spokesman-Review. Check in regularly to find out what they’re up to, what they think and where they differ and to joust with them if you want.
