Dear Pennington Borough,
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-5(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:
Please provide a copy of your most recent Annual Debt Statement filed with the State of New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as an attachment. 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.

Dear Ms. Sterling,
I am having trouble locating the Annual Debt Statement for the year ending 12/31/2024. I see a "Supplemental Debt Statement" prepared on 2/3/2025. The same record also appears when I click on "2024" under "Annual Debt Statements." Can you kindly look into this and provide a copy of (or link to) the 2024 Annual Debt Statement? Thanks.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil

Dear Ms. Sterling,
The record provided is still not the one I am seeking. You provided a SUPPLEMENTAL Debt Statement, not the ANNUAL Debt Statement. Was there an ANNUAL Debt Statement filed with the state for the year ending 12/31/2024? If so, please provide a copy of that record. Thanks for your help. Have a good evening.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
