Boston hackney/taxi driver license revocation and appeals records

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the state Freedom of Information Act, G.L.M. c.66, §10, I hereby request the following records:

I am requesting all the records related to hackney/taxi driver license revocations and appeals of hackney/taxi driver license revocation decisions made by the Boston Police Department or the City of Boston since January 1, 2008, including the case-by-case police documentation and the standards/rules pertaining to the revocation and appeals decisions.

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,

Khadeeja Safdar

Yes, please provide an estimate, and if you have any suggestions to reduce the scope of the request to reduce associated costs.
