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.

Dear Ms. Staats,
Thanks for your question. To answer, I would say that perhaps the Borough held events where news organizations or individual reporters were invited. I would like copies of the invitations sent for these events.

Similarly, I would like copies of any announcements that were shared with the press/media.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil

Lauren Staats, Dunellen Borough

Mr. Kratovil,
Thank you for your response. I would like to ask for an extension on this
request until March 14.
