Dear Trinity County staff / Michele Nasise of Prentice - Long:
Thank you for your response to my Public Records Act request. The two responsive documents that you loaded, "Pepperball Quote 001" and "Pepperball Quote 002" appear on my screen, but unlike other documents do not appear to be downloadable. Is it possible for you to upload these as pdf documents instead? Or, if easier, you could send them to me at jlindsay-poland@afsc.org.
Thanks and best.
