MA contributions

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

All record types of contribution reports, dated from now to as far back as possible. I request the entire database, including all fields and any documentation necessary to interpret the data. If there are fields that you cannot release, please provide all other fields.

I can accept the data in many formats and on multiple media. I’d be happy to talk with your database administrator to figure out the best way to format the data.

If the fees for processing this request will exceed $40, please provide an itemized estimate of costs. If you choose to deny this request, please provide a written explanation for the denial, including a reference to the specific statutory exemption(s) upon which you rely.

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, and is not made for commercial usage.

I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.

In the event that there are fees, 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,

Ileana Garnand

Hi Jason,

Thank you for your prompt reply. That webpage only allows me to download the data up to a certain limited number of rows. I am seeking the full database without said limitations.

Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you for your time and assistance.
