Since 2007, the Office of the Governor has invoked “executive privilege” 500 times to withhold records from the public. Why is that a problem? The Public Records Act says that public agencies must produce copies of records upon request unless a specific statutory exemption applies. Executive privilege is not one of the 300 exemptions listed in the law. Gov. Gregoire could rely on legitimate exemptions to withhold some records, but instead invokes this constitutional theory to lock away records that are of significant interest to the public. The records include documents about state’s tribal gambling compact, the departure of the Seattle Sonics, the selection and appointment of judges, budget issues, and clemency petitions of death-row inmates. Executive privilege is generally understood to protect an executive’s deliberations with close advisers. Yet Gregoire has asserted it to protect communication that falls far outside these parameters including communication amongst her staff, communication from other state agencies, and meeting memos with legislators.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has billed taxpayers for 312 nights spent in her own home during her first 19 months in office, charging a “per diem” allowance intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while traveling on state business. The governor also has charged the state for travel expenses to take her children on official out-of-town missions. And her husband, Todd, has billed the state for expenses and a daily allowance for trips he makes on official business for his wife. Palin, who earns 5000 a year, claimed and received 951 as her allowance, which officials say was permitted because her official “duty station” is Juneau, according to an analysis of her travel documents by The Washington Post. The governor’s daughters and husband charged the state 490 to travel, and many of the trips were between their house in Wasilla and Juneau, the capital city 600 miles away, the documents show. In separate filings, the state was billed about 000 for Palin’s daughters’ expenses and 000 for her husband’s. Flights topped the list for the most expensive items, and the daughter whose bill was the highest was Piper, 7, whose flights cost nearly 000, while Willow, 14, claimed about 00 and Bristol, 17, accounted for about 00. One event was in New York City in October 2007, when Bristol accompanied the governor to Newsweek’s third annual Women and Leadership Conference, toured the New York Stock Exchange and met local officials and business executives.

NARA Holding Maintenance – National Archives and Records Administration 2004 – N-09-HLDMNT – This DVD presentation was produced by Preservation Programs at the US National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) The National Archives is the record keeper for the federal government. Preserved at the Archives are the key documents in our Nation’s history, such as The Declaration of Independence, as well as those records that document how we have lived and the role government has played in our lives. Our mission is to preserve materials for future generations to ensure ready access to records that document the rights of US citizens, the actions of Federal officials, and the national experience. The Archives receives millions of records each year. Records come from federal agencies across the country and are stored in (Federal) Record Centers, Regional Archives, Presidential Libraries, Archives I in downtown Washington, DC and Archives II in College Park, Maryland. Records receive basic preservation attention through holdings maintenance, which emphasizes improved housing. This training program focuses on holdings maintenance for paper-based textual records with the understanding that records exist in a variety of sizes and formats. The package says, believe it or not, “(c) 2004 The US National Archives and Records Administration. All rights reserved.”
In 2012, I am going to vote for the candidate with the best immigration voting record. No matter if the person is a Democrat,republican,independent,new black panther party,a Mormon or a member of la raza or was born in Kenya. If you want to reduce legal immigration quotas and visas back to a pre 1965 Immigration Act that opened the floodgates and eliminate ilegal immigration by enforcing the laws and jailing employers that benfit from cheap labor than you got my vote. Go to Numbersusa.com to see your elected weasels record and fax the daylights out of them for free!! If you have been brainwashed into thinking every American that wants less legal and zero illegal immigration is a racist or nativist or xenophobe, that’s OK, I use to be the same way until i started educating myself on immigration. Immigration is a RACKET Then people that want it to always increase and never end are in the racket up to the hilt and have you in their pocket trying to shut up those speaking out against them.You are a TOOL. do some reading and ask yourself some questions as to who benefits from endless unlimited immigration and who does not. I am not bashing or against immigrants, only those people that are ruining our country by shoving more and more immigration and more and more amnesties down our throats when for 40 years most Americans have wanted the opposite. Immigration is a tax on the working poor here now. The only people that favor immigration are those that benefit from it and pass …
In many respects, you could call Hound Dog Taylor a cult artist. Respected by bluesmen and critics alike, he built a small, devoted following across America simply by constently touring. There were no hits and very few covers of hs songs, but his rowdy concerts and incendiary records on Alligator convinced any who heard him. In the process, he put Alligator Records on the blues map, so it only makes sense that the label return the favor with Hound Dog Taylor: A Tribute, one of the few blues tributes that really works. Taylor’s wild, careening slide guitar became one of more influential sounds in contemporary blues, as evidenced by this quality-packed record. Out of the 14 tracks, only George Thorogood’s thuggish, sluggish “I Just Can’t Make It” falls flat, but the quality of the remaining cuts is so high that it’s forgivable. Luther Allison’s “Give Me Back My Wig” rocks, Gov’t Mule’s “Gonna Send You Back to Georgia” is tough, Vernon Reid and Alvin Youngblood Hart do a nice acoutic reading of “It’s Alright,” Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin turns “See Me in the Evening” into an appealing, straightforward blues-rocker and Cub Koda tears through “Take Five” with the help of Hound Dog’s backing band, the Houserockers. Moments like these are what elevates this tribute album above the average. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Includes liner notes by Bruce Iglauer. Feat.Luther Allison,Son Seals, Dave Hole & More Personnel: Cub Koda, George Thorogood, Lil’ Ed Williams, Magic Slim, Michael …
