Dear Jackson Township,

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:
Interview of Ken Bressi to fill vacant council seat. ( by all current council members who interviewed him)

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.

Thank you,
Scott Lamm

Dear requestor,

The Township of Jackson is in receipt of your OPRA request for the
following: “Interview of Ken Bressi to fill vacant council seat. ( by all
current council members who interviewed him)”

 

Please be advised that this request seeks information or asks questions
does not identify a specific government record.  As such, your request is
an invalid OPRA request and is denied.  When a request is “complex”
because it fails to specifically identify the documents sought, then that
request is not “encompassed” by OPRA. See New Jersey Builders Association
v. New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing, 390 N.J.Super. 166, 180 (App.
Div. 2007).
