The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records December 14, 2021 SPR21/3192 Arielle Mullaney, Esq. Executive Office of Public Safety & Security One Ashburton Place, Room 2133 Boston, MA 02108 Dear Attorney Mullaney: I have received the petition of Ronald Gardner appealing the nonresponse of the Executive Office of Public Safety & Security (Office) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Gardner requested names and titles of all personnel assigned to the review committee in the Office to review all religious/medical exemptions which were submitted by state workers in order to comply with Governor Baker’s Executive Order 595. Having received no response, Mr. Gardner petitioned this office. Subsequently, this office was notified that a response was provided, dated December 14, 2021. Where this matter was opened based upon the Office’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Gardner may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Ronald Gardner 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
