The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records September 27, 2022 SPR22/2092 Lorraine A.G. Tarrow, Esq. Records Access Officer Office of the Attorney General One Ashburton Place, 20th Floor Boston, MA 02108 Dear Attorney Tarrow: I have received the petition of Joseph Viglione appealing the response of the Office of the Attorney General (Office) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On August 26, 2022, Mr. Viglione requested the following: 1) Any document that shows that the statute of limitations on the AG’s office investigation into [named entity] has expired, even if it is a copy of the law that oversees the negligent and deceptive public charity also known as [named entity]; and 2) All texts, inter-office memos, e mails [sic] of the Attorney General’s office in regards to [named entity] and other documents that show the work product generated by any and all of the staff of the AG in regards to the board members and staff of [named entity] including responses by city hall and the [named entity]. On September 12, 2022, the Office responded. Unsatisfied with the Office’s response, Mr. Viglione petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2092, was opened as a result. Based upon a conversation between a Public Records Division staff attorney and an Office representative, it is my understanding that the Office intends on providing a subsequent response to Mr. Viglione. Accordingly, the Office is to provide Mr. Viglione with said response in a manner consistent with the Public Records Law and its Regulations within 10 business days. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Mr. 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
