Sincerely, Reneé Rowan Basel As requested by Rita Taylor, Town Clerk Custodian of the Records Renee Basel From:Mort O'Boyle <enrgy2burn@gmail.com> Sent:Thursday, August 10, 2017 11:25 AM To:Renee Basel Subject:Re: GS #2562 (Records Request - Renee Basel e-mails) I would like the records from May 1, 2017 to today's date. I reject the idea that a simple email search will take "extensive use of information technology resources or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance". I can do a search on my computer for emails and it would take all of about 2 minutes. The mere notion is ludicrous.
