Dear Solt_Daniel,
Thank you for the documents Daniel, however, I requested the "Atlantic County Weights and Measures Certificates of Conformance, for 2013-2017" but you sent the New Jersey Certificates. They are not the same.
The Atlantic County certificates are filled out by an Atlantic County employee. What you sent are New Jerseys summary of those.
Also, according to court records, the Atlantic County Governemnt settled two sexual harassment lawsuits out of court. One for Terri Hiles, and one for Shelly Imperatore. How is the county not in possesion of any records, when the settlements would've been paid using tax dollars?
Thanks Daniel!
Yours sincerely,
Jim Vuocolo
