Dear Spotswood Borough,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Open Public Records Act reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Spotswood Borough's handling of my OPRA request 'Canadian Geese incident'.

You cannot redact out the name of the person charged with a crime, where is the Vaughn index? Is the person charged under Daniels law?

A full history of my OPRA request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://opramachine.com/request/canadian...

Yours faithfully,

William Bailey
