See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On May 1, 2022, Mr. Wallack requested an identified internal affairs report.

A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. Mr. Wallack may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
