Subject: Short Public Records Request
Dear Custodian of Records, may I please get an undredacted copy of Mr. Sweetapple's August 2014 Itemized
Bill.
I have a partially redacted copy but the document produced by the Town does not notify the particular litigation
that correspond to the reactions as required by the Work -Product exemption.
That being said, there are only a few redacted entries. A 6/11/14 entry regarding sober houses and a 6/13/14
entry/ 6.24.14 and 6.26.14 entry. I would like the full copy in electronic format since the research or motions or
issues have now become public knowledge or dead issues.
Thank you.
