Accordingly, the Town is ordered to provide Mr. Kinsella with a response in accordance with the Public Records Law, its Access Regulations and this order within ten business days. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Mr. Kinsella may appeal the substantive nature of the Town's response within ninety days.
