Rep. @wickse's HB 1329 is exactly how.
While #idleg Rep @MeganBlanksma work to silence #healthcareheroes public health boards, we're working to let more voices be heard. That's building back better. That's leadership for you.
Here is how we #buildbackbetter... @wickse HB 1329 will:
a) Allow public comment, including an online component regardless if the meeting is in-person or online
b) Require recordings be retained of public meetings
c) Put in minutes why an executive session to exclude ze public
Watch us today. šŗšø

Three bills on deck today... so might be a while before HB 1329. Will live-tweet out ze action as able.
But we will have a real hearing with real testimony & real sunlight as we work to build back better.
We also have HB 1180, a weak @WaHouseGOP #opengov bill with a lot of testimony to come also. Bill doesn't go far enough as I'll explain. Basically no online public comment option.
But enough about weak bills. HB 1180 won't go anywhere.
More worried about the concern trolling to amend and likely weaken HB 1329. #waleg has way too many lobbyists who don't work for the people but for the government bench as you can see below.

1. You know I love you, @reason, but I'm not getting your homepage right now. Lots of mocking the left, lecturing people who are scared...

Now, in 2020, we have one party so upset about the election, theyāre openly fomenting a crisis of democracy. Hereās the Reason homepage today. Thereās one article about all of that. Thereās a hell of a lot more about the threat posed by Joe Biden. And more riciduling the left.
Iām picking on Reason. And Iāll add that there are people there who have sufficiently grasped the threat the last four years, despite the general editorial direction of the magazine. But it really underscores the disappointment Iāve had with my fellow libertarians in general ...
... in the Trump era. Weāre supposed to be the alarmists. Proudly! Weāre supposed to the ones who overreact when government overreaches. Because alarmism is a hell of a lot better than complacency. And history tells us that governments tend not to give powers ...
... back once theyāve claimed them. In the Trump era, too many libertarians not only stopped being alarmists, they spent most of their time scolding and ridiculing the people who were. I mean, itās still bizarre to me that the philosophy that ...
Take this sentiment expressed by a Christian journalist, which is simultaneously ignorant, tacky, and completely callous to the horror of the murder of innocents.
Fun fact for pro-lifers: Abortion rates drop most sharply under Democratic presidents.
— Jonathan Merritt (@JonathanMerritt) November 8, 2020
Congrats on your win!
It's ignorant, because 1) correlation does not equal causation, and 2) a far more plausible reason that abortion rates declined in those years is owing to pro-life legislation at the state level.
It's tacky, because the primary aim of the comment is to antagonize pro-life Christians who voted for Trump on the ground that he has followed through on many of his campaign promises regarding pro-life policies & judges. Make light of baby murder to own the Trumpsters.
It's callous, because Biden/Harris plan to aggressively rollback policies that limit abortions.

2. Firstly, the EU shared rules in the deal they did with Canada, they just did it in a different way.
3. Canada were required to sign up to several car regulations in UNECE.
4. The EU has, at minimum, 48% of the vote on any one of those regulations. With CETA, Canada agreed to share rules where it can be outvoted, and most likely will be.
5. The alignment the EU is proposing for the UK is different. It's based on dynamic alignment which is about approximating rules.
