From: Don Warner Saklad

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, ยง10, I hereby request the following records:

a) Names of staff of all Offices, Divisions, Sections, etc. of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

b) Names of all consultants for all Offices, Divisions, Sections, etc. of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

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 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,

Don Warner Saklad

I have received your request for a copy of any record that contains the names of staff and consultants for this office. Whereas there is no one record in this office that is responsive to your request, you may wish to visit two websites for more information that may assist you.

First there is a list of addresses, phone numbers and email contact information for each Division of the Secretary of the Commonwealth on our website, at
