I greatly appreciate your patience while I researched this request.
Just so you are aware, Virginia FOIA § 2.2-3700 et. Seq. of the Code of Virginia does not grant rights to requestors from out-of-state.
The Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) grants rights of access to public records to citizens of Virginia and media representatives that broadcast or have circulation in or into Virginia.
