Jennifer Williams-Alvarez v. Massachusetts Gaming Commission (SPR 20212024)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records August 20, 2021 SPR21/2024 Carrie Torrisi, Esq. Associate General Counsel Massachusetts Gaming Commission 101 Federal Street, 12th Floor Boston, MA 02110 Dear Attorney Torrisi: I have received the petition of Jennifer Williams-Alvarez appealing the response of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (Commission) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Williams-Alvarez requested “[d]ocuments mentioning or related to Wynn Resorts, Encore Boston Harbor, or similar name, from January 1, 2017 to the present.” The Commission provided a response on July 7, 2021. Unsatisfied with the Commission’s response, Ms. Williams-Alvarez petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/2024, was opened as a result. Subsequent to the opening of this appeal, the Commission provided a supplemental response on August 20, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was the July 7th response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. If issues remain unresolved, Ms. Williams-Alvarez may appeal the substantive nature of the Commission’s August 20th response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Jennifer Williams-Alvarez One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
