Dear Ms. Nelson,
On April 12 you indicated to me that: " We will respond on or before Friday, 4/22/2022." I have received no further response and it is now April 30. This is a deemed denial under the law and if I don't receive the requested record, I am going to contact my lawyer on Monday to prepare a legal complaint for violation of the Open Public Records Act. When will you actually be able to provide the promised response to my request.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
Mr. Kratovil,
