Good morning,
 
This is not a valid OPRA request, as the material requested is overly
broad.

Dear Toms River NJ OPRA Support,

How is this request overly broad? It has clearly been confirmed during recent township meetings that communication is occurring between councilmen/woman regarding township business including how votes will occur, even during council meetings via cellphone. It is my right as a taxpayer to know what communication is occurring.

Basically, I want a copy of the records between these involved parties via those methods of communication.

Yours sincerely,
