Charlie Kratovil made this OPRA request to Ewing Township as part of a batch sent to 50 authorities Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.
Dear Ewing Township,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
Please provide copies of all press releases, press advisories, and other invitations or announcements sent to members of the press by the Mayor's Office, governing body, or municipal departments (including the police) during the year 2024.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Thanks, as always, for your assistance with my requests.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Kratovil
Charlie,
Please elaborate a little more on this request. For instance, invitations
- do you want invitations to bid that we send to the newspapers?
Specifically, is there one particular press release or invitation you are
looking for?
Thank you,

Dear Ms. Macellaro
Sorry for the delay in my response. I am seeking your government's communications with the press aka the news media. Perhaps your administration sends press releases or other invitations/announcements to organizations and individuals that report on your community. To be clear, I am NOT seeking legal notices.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
Please find attached your completed OPRA.
Have a nice night!
