Andrew Katakis Responds?
And, I guess, from the seven comments made, I'm supposed to be a "fraud, lier (sic) and cheat."
Dear Rob,
My new buddy Andrew Katakis from Global Discoveries, LTD isn’t happy with me.
Something I said?

Typical PRA Request Reply
This acknowledges receipt of your public records requested dated September 25, 2007 and received by me on September 27, 2007.
Dear Rob,
Thought you’d like to see what happens when you make a request for public records in Yakima County.
I’m not suggesting there’s anything wrong with it. Just wanting to make sure it’s appropriate and aligns with the spirit of the PRA.
Seems about right to me, but as a non-lawyer, I may be wrong.

At this point, at least, no county has refused my request (although I’ve only heard from about half).

Public Records Lawsuit
It sends a message to agencies it that if you violate the law, it will have an impact on you in the future.
Dear Rob,
I noticed a couple comments relating to the willingness of Washington counties to provide the information I requested yesterday under the Public Records Act (PRA).
This is an excellent opportunity to post the WA Corrections lawsuit story, recognizing that PRA requests are nothing to be trifled with.
As you know, there are penalties for noncompliance.
