Newspapers report attorney general to investigate Kitsap County:

7/7/2005 Seattle Times: "Kitsap County may have violated records rules with NASCAR project"
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002364066_nascar07m.html

7/7/2005 Kitsap Sun: "State AG Called In To Look At Track Process"
http://www.kitsapsun.com/bsun/local/article/0,2403,BSUN_19088_3908831,00.html

The Sun quoted Commissioner Chris Endresen, regarding confidentiality agreements signed by county officials and employees:

"The one that I signed, I signed as part of a business-retention program in December '02," Endresen said. "It didn't have anything to do with NASCAR."

Oh, really! Take a look at Endresen's signed agreement: http://www.tangledwebsite.net/nd-endresen.html

Note the lower left corner of the document, which is preprinted, "Adopted by KREDC Board of Directors on January 16, 2003."

How could Commissioner Endresen have signed "in December '02," on a form that apparently didn't exist at the time?

Note also that Commissioner Endresen checked the form as a KREDC board member. Assuming that her memory is foggy about when she signed the undated form and she actually signed it sometime after 1/16/2003, when the form was apparently approved by the KREDC board, then why did she check off that she was on the KREDC board? According to the record, she was not on the board after the end of 2002:

One county commissioner at a time sits on the KREDC board, on a rotating basis. Take a look at the KREDC's 2002 and 2003 annual reports, on the KREDC's website: http://www.kitsapedc.org/default.asp?ID=62

Note that Commissioner Endresen is listed as a KREDC board member, on page 13 of the 2002 annual report: http://www.kitsapedc.org/pdfs/2002AnnualReport.pdf

Note also that Commissioner Jan Angel is listed as a KREDC board member, on page 5 of the 2003 annual report: http://www.kitsapedc.org/pdfs/2003AnnualReport.pdf

(Commissioner Endresen may want to clarify just when she signed the confidentiality agreement.
