Re: Massachusetts Public Records Request

Dear Keeper of the Records

This is a request under the Massachusetts Public Records Law (M. G. L. Chapter 66, Section 10). I am requesting that I be provided a copy of the following records:

1)The business certificate for RC-limo.com or RC Grand Limos or whatever name City Councilor Richard F. Caraviello uses for his livery company or limousine service which should be available in the city clerk's office

2)The document at city hall which may provide the corporate name and shareholders of Councilor Richard F. Caraviello's company, if any.

In a previous document request regarding elected officials we understand that City Hall may not have certain documents requested. An upcoming editorial will clarify the need for elected officials to be held to the highest of standards with their CORI check, business documents and other matters made public.  The taxes in Medford keep rising and certain elected officials are not held accountable.  This journalist has documented inappropriate behavior by city councilors and school committee members in the past.  With charter review now in motion, it is the right time for citizens to demand accountability and elected officials providing much, much more information about their businesses so that voters can make informed decisions.

I recognize that you may charge reasonable costs for copies, as well as for personnel time needed to comply with this request.  If the fee is more than $5.00 please advise me.  As an esteemed member of the fourth estate in Medford, the only journalist obtaining results at this specific point in time, I humbly request that you waive any fees associated with this document search.

Please send information via e mail.

The Public Records Law requires you to provide me with a written response within 10 business days. If you cannot comply with my request, you are statutorily required to provide an explanation in writing.

Sincerely,

Joe Viglione
