Washington 14th District Representative Gina McCabe says she voted for the bill that sets up a separate process for legislators outside of the state’s voter-approved Public Records Act, saying she is worried about protecting the privacy of the constituents she communicates with.  McCabe says she wants constituents to feel free to be able to communicate with her on sensitive topics like sexual abuse and whistleblower issues without being concerned about publicity.  Legislative leaders from both parties passed the bill in a matter of days last week in response to a Thurston County judge ruling in January legislative leaders had violated the open-records act when challenged by a number of news organizations, and that is currently under appeal.  The bill that was approved by a substantial majority of legislators will make some legislative records public like lawmakers’ calendars and e-mail exchanges with registered lobbyists created after July 1.
