The Washington State Attorney General’s Office is creating a new unit and a new position to modernize public records and retention processes, enhance staff training on open government issues, and innovate solutions to hurdles between the business of government and the public’s right to know.
“Transparency is a key part of the work we do every day to protect and support Washingtonians,” Attorney General Nick Brown said. “At a time of widespread mistrust in government, public access is as crucial as ever to let the public see our work for themselves.”
