I recognize that you may charge reasonable costs for copies, as well as for personnel time needed to comply with this request - however - as a long-time member of the press first
(self published) in 1969, quoted in the New York Times, Boston Globe and multiple books, etc. and as this is of great public interest to citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
especially the city of Medford, I ask that all fees be waived.
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.
Please send via e mail
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Joe Viglione
