Dear Anonymous,

business day deadline to respond to your request is March 15, 2024. This

before 2022 and/or extend past 2026 as long as they cover the time period
of 2022 through 2026.

I am also seeking all Memorandums of Agreement (MOA) between the Township
of Plainsboro and the Plainsboro Superior Officers Association for
collective negotiations agreements (CNAs) covering the period of 2022
through 2026.
