Payments & invoices
Dear Gloucester County,
Under OPRA I seek:
1. A list of all payments to the law firm Carbone & Faasse since July 1, 2020.
(Note: All I want are payments relating to the ballot challenges (the line) suit, i.e. Conforti & Kim suits. But if you cannot sort that way, then I'll take a list of all payments. This probably exists in a vendor history/activity report).
2. Legal invoices for the law firms Carbone & Faasse since July 1, 2020.
(Note: Again, I only seek those relating to the ballot challenges (the line) suit, i.e. Conforti & Kim suits. If you can sort that way, then that's all that's needed. Otherwise I'd need them all).
I ask that you please produce the list of payments immediately. I understand the invoices may take longer, although they are also "immediate access" documents.
Thanks, TSS

Hello:
I see that you attached lists of payments for 2020-2024, however I did not see any actual legal invoices. So this makes it so I can't tell how much was billed to the ballot challenge case (Conforti). Could you either: 1) produce the legal invoices or 2) print a list of only those bills that relate to Conforti?
Good morning Tom S. Smith,
Regarding the document you were provided, the portion of the legal invoice
re Conforti v. Hanlon is located on page 4 (please reference attached).
Purchase order No. 21-06502 (located on page 2) is specific to legal
expenses for Conforti v. Hanlon. Please let me know if I may be of further
assistance.
