The National Freedom of Information Coalition (NFOIC) and SPJ announced last week that Brian Sonntag will be added to Heroes of the 50 States: The State Open Government Hall of Fame.
Sonntag recently retired after serving five terms as the elected State Auditor in Washington state.
The State Open Government Hall of Fame is a joint venture by SPJ and NFOIC. It was developed by leaders in both organizations as a way to recognize long-term contributions of individuals to open government in their states.
