To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10, I hereby request the following records:
* All emails from mma.org email addresses containing the search terms "marijuana" or "cannabis" from September 1, 2016 to present
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.
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.

Audrey,
I am looking for any emails to or from ANY mma.org email address. I am not looking for emails from a specific person, but anyone who uses an email associated with that domain. I hope that clarifies things.
Best regards,
Andrew Quemere
From: Audrey Coulter
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your email. To clarify, what we are looking for is the end of
the email domain for mma.org (for example, my email domain would be "@
boston.gov"). If we have the domain, it ensures we are able to best provide
what you are looking for. Does that help?
Best,
Audrey

Hi,
I was still wondering if you had an estimated date for when you'll be getting me those emails. Thank you.
Sincerely,

From: Andrew Quemere
Supervisor of records,
This email is in regards to SPR14/141, dated January 30, 2017. In that decision, you closed my appeal because the city of Boston agreed to produce the emails that I asked for. However, I have not been contacted by the city since that decision was issued. Please take whatever action you deem necessary to get the city to comply with my request. I ask that you do not close my appeal until the city has actually produced records.
Best regards,
Andrew Quemere
