Communications
From: Aarian Marshall
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Any emails, written communications, documents, or other communications between officials from the Virginia State Corporation Commission and officials from the corporation "Amazon." Specifically, I am searching for communications related to the development of Amazon's second headquarters, which is expected to be located in Crystal City, Virginia: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/05/technology/amazon-second-headquarters-split.html
We seek records of any kind, including electronic records, audiotapes, videotapes, and photographs, as well as letters, emails, facsimiles, telephone messages, voice mail messages and transcripts, notes, and minutes of any meetings. The search should be limited to responsive records created between September 17, 2017 and the day the request is fulfilled.
Our request includes any attachments to these records. No category of material should be omitted from search, collection, and production. You may not exclude searches of files or emails in the personal custody of your officials, such as personal email accounts.
In the event some portions of the requested records are properly exempt from disclosure, please disclose any reasonably segregable non-exempt portions of the requested records. If it is your position that a document contains non-exempt segments, but that those non-exempt segments are so dispersed throughout the document as to make segregation impossible, please state what portion of the document is non-exempt, and how the material is dispersed throughout the document. If a request is denied in whole, please state specifically that it is not reasonable to segregate portions of the record for release.
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 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Louise Matsakis
