Dear Mr. Tidmarsh:
This email confirms receipt of your public records request on 5/26/2020. You have requested records from 2019 regarding Jimmy Anderson.
Wis. Stat. 19.35(3)(f) allows our office to require prepayment of fees related to an open records search if the cost will be greater than $5. Wisconsin courts have noted that this statute’s purpose “is clearly intended to protect an authority from squandering staff time, supplies and equipment usage for a substantial copying project that a requester might later disavow.” (State Ex Rel. Hill v. Zimmerman, 196 Wis.2d 419 (1995)). In order to not squander future “staff time, supplies, and equipment usage” in the future, we ask that you prepay for large requests.
We estimate that the cost for this request will be approximately $75.00.
Please remit this amount to the Assembly Chief Clerk’s Office. Upon prepayment your request will be fully processed pursuant to Wisconsin law and the procedures of the Wisconsin State Assembly, and a response will be prepared.
If you have any questions regarding your request, please contact our office.
Sincerely,
Steve Fawcett

Hello,
On August 31, I mailed a check for $41.51 to satisfy the attached public records request, and I am writing to ask whether the correct office received my check. The check was intended for the Assembly Chief Clerk's office, because that's where I was instructed to send it. However, there's a possibility that Muckrock (the online tool I use to help me file public records requests) may have addressed the check to Rep. Vos' office instead of the Assembly Chief Clerk's office.
Can you please verify whether my check was received by the correct office?
Thank you,
Christopher Tidmarsh

Hello,
I apologize, I meant to say July 31 in my previous email, not August 31. Thank you.
