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:

Campaign finance reports for all elected officials in the City of Somerville through the third quarter of 2010.

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,

If no reports are required for the calendar year 2010, we would like to see all reports covering the calendar year 2009. We're only looking for reports from municipal officials. Thanks.

Hi Nicholas,

We are willing to pay the estimated $100 for the copies of the 2009 reports. We tried photographing them, but that turned out about as poorly as one would expect.

Thanks! Let us know when they will be available.

Hi,

Aldermen Trane's and Sullivan's reports were not in the packet we picked up. Did they file reports in that year?

Thanks!
