Tacoma News, Inc. v. Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “Disclosing the identities of sources will discourage potential sources from providing important information in the future, and will therefore frustrate the investigative process.”
• “So long as the identities of complainants and witnesses are not revealed, disclosure of the facts alone will not have a ‘chilling effect’ on the investigation and enforcement process.”
