Brian Smyth:

DELAY, DELAY, DELAY I am surprised you provided a response on the 6th business day and not the 7th.

answers to 1, 2 and 3 are: No, No and No.

I look forward to receiving your response today before tonight's Wall BOE meeting.

Did the Wall BOE post and approve your new form in public I remember Athina Cornell talking about it but do not recall ever seeing your updated form.

Regards,

Betsy Cross

Mr. Smyth:

I have mentioned that you have been delaying your OPRA replies to me for over a decade. Please refer to Jeni DeCarlo's letter to Judge Thornton if you need more information. Why did you wait 6 business days to reply to my OPRA?

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-6(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:

See above.

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.

I look forward to your reply with the documents by the close of business today given the Wall Business meeting tonight at 7:00 PM.

Regards,

Betsy Cross
