Blocked posts and users from the Dennis Township COVID-19 Facebook Page by public officials
Dear Dennis Township,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
As recent case law in NJ has shown, if a government official conducts official government business on a social media account (such as updating constituents on official COVID-19 matters), than those accounts are government records and are subject to access under OPRA.
Because of this fact I am requesting documentation of any blocked users or posts from the Dennis Township COVID-19 Facebook Group page which is administered by Mayor Zeth Matalucci, Committeeman Scott Turner.
Yours faithfully,
Alan "Way Down Yonder on the Matalucci" Jackson
ps: (It gets hotter than a hootchie coochie)
Received. Thank You!
