Dear Ms. Jerome:
Thank you for promptly acknowledging my request.
I am looking for communication throughout Kate Murray's two terms as town clerk, from 2002 to 2003 and again from 2020 to present. I've had difficulty finding the exact start and end dates of Murray's terms, but I imagine the ranges are approximately January 1, 2002, through December 31, 2003, and January 1, 2020, through December 29, 2023 (the date of my request).
I am sorry you've had trouble contacting me. I filed this request through the nonprofit Muck Rock, which may have provided the phone number you said was inoperable. You can reach me directly at nickhirshon@gmail.com or 646-288-6803.
Best,
Nick
