Dear Green Brook Township,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Open Public Records Act reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Green Brook Township's handling of my OPRA request 'Property Records'.
The OPRA law states that “a custodian of a government record shall grant access to a government record or deny a request for access to a government record as soon as possible, but not later than seven business days after receiving the request”. N.J.S.A 47:1A-5
Please acknowledge receipt of this message. Thanks.
Yours faithfully,
Omar
Omar,
Thank you for your email. We cannot locate an OPRA request from you or one

it to me so I can look into this?
