Why is the check in the amount of $13,422 (Check #17353) redacted? It is clearly a purchase used with public funds for an (unspecified) project that should not be redacted. If it is indeed a "unique investigative technique" disclosing the name of the project would tell the public nothing about the program, just that a server is used as a part of it.

Please provide an unredacted copy.

FOIA officer, I am still awaiting a response to my request for an explanation of the redacted check. Here is the original response from November 21st of this year:

"Why is the check in the amount of $13,422 (Check #17353) redacted? It is clearly a purchase used with public funds for an (unspecified) project that should not be redacted. If it is indeed a "unique investigative technique" disclosing the name of the project would tell the public nothing about the program, just that a server is used as a part of it.

Please provide an unredacted copy.

From: Freddy Martinez

FOIA officers,

This request is not complete. Please provide an explanation to my inquiry submitted November 21st, an entire month ago. Additionally an inquiry made on the 13th of December of this month was not responded. The question remains "Why is the check in the amount of $13,422 (Check #17353) redacted? It is clearly a purchase used with public funds for an (unspecified) project that should not be redacted. If it is indeed a "unique investigative technique" disclosing the name of the project would tell the public nothing about the program, just that a server is used as a part of it."

This request may be considered complete by the FOIA officers but it is not to me.
