Accordingly, the Depaiiment is ordered to provide Attorney Grammel with a response in accordance with the Public Records Law, its Access Regulations and this order within ten business days, as well as responsive records as they become available without delay. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Attorney Grammel may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety days.
