Good afternoon.
Before we begin compiling this information, I want to make sure that you are aware that there will be a cost associated with obtaining this data, pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 13.03:
https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=13.03
We have no way in knowing in advance how much the total charges would be. Is there a limit to the amount of money you are willing to spend on this request?

Good morning.
The data request below appears to be exactly the same as a data request you sent on 5/16/18. I just want to make sure that they are, in fact, the same request.
I sent a response to the original request regarding fees. Minnesota Statute § 13.03 (link here: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=13.03) allows for us to charge the requesting person for the costs of searching for and retrieving government data. Since I do not know how much data there is regarding this subject, it's difficult to project how much this request will cost. However, as I asked in the last email, are you able to provide a dollar amount that you are willing to spend on this request?
Regards,
Roy

Good Afternoon,
The data request is exactly the same as the one sent on 5/16/18. However, I would like to change the dates from what I previously requested and instead narrow the search to between July 6th and July 12th. I am willing to pay $200.00 in fees regarding this request.
Thank you,
