To Whom it May Concern; I’m hereby appealing the denial of the public records request copied below. The state legislature is subject to the New Hampshire Public Records Law, and email constitutes a public record under New Hampshire law, and you’ve failed in your rejection to explain exactly how opinion the you reference exempts the email communications of legislators from the public records law. Furthermore, my request was not limited to email communications. I requested “electronic communications,” which encompasses text messages, direct messages on social media apps such as Twitter, Facebook, Snap Chat, etc.
