New Life CDC
Dear Clark Township,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
In the Mayor's apology video he stated he would work with Mark Bullock and New Life CDC to help learn and also to help the community. I don't believe anything has been done in regards to the mayors racist comments. In turn please
Please provide all correspondences from any town officials or employees with New Life CDC or Mark Bullock (CEO New Life CDC) from January 2020 to present.
Yours faithfully,
Anonymous Resident
