QUIERO & FARLEY funds
Dear North Bergen Township,
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:
Request # 1 - Please provide information or public documents in relation to the civil law suit where Victor Quiero and this wife Michelle each received $125,000 when their lawyer settled their lawsuit. I'm told these funds were used to buy their house in Washington Township because they are too good to live in North Bergen.
Request # 2 - Please also provide information and public documents in relation to funds Chief Farley received from federal disaster or storm disaster relief funds for his home, although most people believe he was not entitled to make such a claim.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. 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.
Yours faithfully,
NBNEEDSTOKNOW
