Questions and comments texted to Gov. Phil Murphy

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

An electronic list of all comments, questions and other message sent to the (732) 605-5455 text number promoted by Gov. Phil Murphy in the following message and press release.

https://www.nj.gov/governor/news/news/562023/20230824b.shtml

I ask that all database columns be included in the release. I ask that the response be in a common spreadsheet format, such as CSV or XLS.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

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 7 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Ben Welsh

Before I appeal, I ask that you reconsider your response. I'm always happy to consider narrowing my request. If you tell me how many text messages has the governor received so far, perhaps I could limit my request to a specific month or week?
