Executive Office of Economic Development -MassBusiness Contract

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the state Freedom of Information Act, G.L.M. c.4, €7, clause 26th, I hereby request the following records:

A copy of the most recent contract between the Executive Office of Economic Development and MassBusiness and the last three evaluations of MassBusiness conducted by the Executive Office of Economic Development.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Michael Morisy

I wanted to recontact you regarding the Public Records Request about MBDC originally made on January 20, 2011.

In it, we requested the last three evaluations of MBDC.

In the documents we received, there are several pieces of correspondence from MBDC, a 2008 contract, a draft contract from the 90s, a contract extension, several exhibits, and a number of legislative documents.

I don't see anything that meets the standard of an evaluation. Have I missed something? Were these evaluations not done?

Hi Matt,

Sorry, I meant to CC you on this follow up as well.

Best,

Michael
