Legal Counsel Executive Office of Energy & Environmental Affairs 100 Cambridge Street, Suite 900 Boston, MA 02114 Dear Attorney Sulla: I have received the petitions of Ryan Kath of WBZ-TV Boston appealing the non response ofthe Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) to a request for public records.
