Part of the challenge I have learned here is that there is almost no recourse for citizens upon discovering an open meetings act violation. Your primary outlet is the Attorney General PAC office and they're currently still adjudicating cases I sent them more than a *year* ago and I suspect I'll never get a response. Unless you're willing to drag them to court, there's no other recourse and they know it.

That's definitely the beauty of Washington. There are statutory damages involved!
