Troopergate legislative hearing update (3 p.m. PDT)

[pnwmom]

The report won't be released unless 8/14 members of the committee vote to do so. 3/14 members are not present. The meeting is still going on. Details and pics at the link.

3 p.m.: So here's something to consider while we wait for the Legislative Council to vote -- and yes, we're still waiting:

The council needs eight votes to release the investigator's report. Three members of the 14-member council aren't here -- Rep. Ralph Samuels, Rep. John Harris and Rep. John Coghill.

Unless they called in after the meeting started, that means they're automatic "no votes."

So what's going on behind those doors? Do they have enough votes to make the report public?
