LTown United made this OPRA request to Livingston Township This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.
Dear Livingston 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:
In a previous request the town provided a document titled "Playing Politics Redacted Reduced.pdf" and in that document it revealed that both Pat Seybold and Jarid Kantor were also included in these email conversations, however their email addresses were redacted.
We are requesting all communications to/from Ms. Seybold and/or Mr. Kantor to Councilmen and Town Employees by searching for records using these aforementioned redacted email addresses. Please narrow your search to only those records and communications between September 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019.
Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
LTown United

Dear Glenn Turtletaub,
Thank you for your response. We don’t understand why you require an additional 10 days for such a straightforward request? If you in fact receive 10 OPRA requests a day you would have likely received more than 400-500 requests since we started making them and only about 10 would have been from our group. What’s the problem and why the pushback on our request for transparency?
Yours sincerely,
LTown United
