RE: FOIL Request: #3425
Dear Jaclyn Clemmer,
I would like to appeal the letter denying my FOIA request on the grounds that is not reasonably described. The request covers a specific time period (between the identification of the SARS COV2 virus in Dec 2019 and the date of filing in March 2021) and the request is plainly searchable (e.g. "McKinsey, COVID, receipt"). I am not able to name specific custodians in the request due to the state, to the best of my knowledge, not making any documents regarding these contracts (as reported by ProPublica [1] and Consulting.us [2] among other publications) available to the public.
Additionally this is not “a request for ‘all’ records, without limitation" as per your example. The specifics of my request do not demand complete or exhaustive records. I believe that I narrowly constructed my request to a limited number of records that would relate to the stated subject. It seems obstructive for your office to wait nearly a year before issuing a denial without even a recommendation for revising the request to meet its definition of "reasonably described".
Sincerely,
Matthew Borgatti
