See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On August 20, 2022, Mr. Johnson requested “[a] copy of any records showing the aggregate ‘Trip fee’ Uber has paid to Massport since January 27, 2017 in connection with transportation originating at Logan International Airport …” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Johnson petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2400, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal, it remains unclear whether the Authority has provided a response. Accordingly, the Authority is ordered to provide Mr. Johnson with a response to the request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Regulations within ten (10) business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Mr. Johnson may appeal the substantive nature of the Authority’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
