While Olympia claimed to be closing loopholes, new documents obtained via public records requests tell a different story—one of back-channel coordination between the Attorney General’s office and legislative sponsors. ​In this episode of Left Coast News, we break down the 1,000-page document dump that critics say reveals a strategic roadmap designed to circumvent a century of constitutional precedent and ignore the will of Washington voters. We’re moving past the press releases to examine the paper trail. ​In this episode, we cover: ​The breakdown of the coordination between the AG’s office and the legislature. ​How SB 6346 was \"engineered\" to attempt to bypass the 1933 Culliton v.
