Hi Mr. Rubenstein,
Thank you for your assistance with this request. Regarding the text messages, I agree to the extension period.
Regarding the email portion, could I please narrow the search to include only the phrases: "March on the DNC", "sight and sound", and "sight & sound"?
Please let me know if that does enough to make the request manageable, or if it will require further narrowing.
Thank you,
Maggie Dougherty
From: Chicago Department of Transportation
