Volunteers honored for outing port · 24 August 08
Washougal volunteers who exposed secret dealings at the Port of Camas-Washougal were recently honored by “a nonpartisan group that bird-dogs Washington’s open meetings law,” according to a report in the Columbian. The volunteers, known as Concerned Citizens in Action, “filed public records requests that showed Camas-Washougal port leaders excluded the public from debate over the controversial, 65-acre proposed riverfront project before they signed an agreement with RiverWalk LLC in 2005.” The Concerned Citizens are set to receive an award in September from the Seattle-based Washington Coalition for Open Government.
