Good morning,
I am working on your OPRA request as we speak. We do have responsive records. I am currently saving same and working on the technical aspects of sending them to you. I respectfully request an extension to August 4, 2023 in order to completely fulfill this request.
Thank you,

Dear Joe Flatley,
With all due respect sir, these records can be easily accessed by anyone with a internet connection on the planet, except in totalitarian states like China, that have no first amendment.
You could simply give me the administrator name and password and I could get these records from my own home. So I really am having a hard time believing that you can actually justify this extension.
Please provide the specific exemption in law as to why you have denied these easily accessed records.
The format that is easiest for me , and the format I request is a simple pdf file that can be attached to this email right here.
Yours sincerely,
R Lord
R Lord,
I am extremely appreciative of your understanding that I needed to do the research on how to save the posts. As such, I was simply looking for a little more time in the event I ran into any technical issues. Your consideration is noted.
Attached are the two PDF files you requested.
Attached
Thank you,

Dear Joe Flatley,
I do not not think these are all of the records I have asked for. If you need a extension to produce all of the records and all of the comments that many people made I understand the extension.
If you need more time to undelete, deleted comments by all means the extension is reasonable.
Yours sincerely,
R Lord
