Communications
From: David Sirota
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to RCW Ch. 42.56 (Public Records Act), I hereby request the following records:
- All correspondence to employees of the Office of the Governor from the Executive Office of the President regarding Washington State's marijuana policy. This covers emails from email addresses from the domain "@who.eop.gov"
- All correspondence to employees of the Office of the Governor from the Department of Justice regarding Washington State's marijuana policy. This covers emails from email addresses from the domain "@usdoj.gov" and "@justice.gov"
I hereby request such correspondence from 1/20/17 to the present. Search terms include “marijuana,” “cannabis,” and “pot.”
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. International Business Times is an award-winning journalism organization and this is a newsworthy topic of public concern.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
David Sirota

Hi David,
First, I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your request for public records. I have run a few searches for responsive files, and I’ve come across this file that isn’t responsive to your request, but it is related. I will continue to conduct searches, with the goal of providing you another update in 3-4 weeks.
Second, please update your files to reflect that I’m now the Governor’s Public Records Officer. You can file PRA requests directly to me or to publicdisclosure@gov.wa.gov<mailto:publicdisclosure@gov.wa.gov>.
Thanks,
Tip
