Dear Chelsea Libreros,
Why are these documents that you provided redeacted? These are simply Police Reports and are not subject to redaction with out a court order or special circumstance. Remember, everyone is equal under the law.
Please be advised, I am amending my OPRA request for all similar OPRA requests for the past year, it is my HOPE, I will not find a pattern of abuse by the city of Linden to provide special treatment for Councilman Brown, as has been done in the past. My new request will be following shortly. I will leave this OPRA request OPEN subject to your outside counsel's review.
Yours sincerely,
Ethics Watch NJ
