Jason Connors v. Bureau of the State House (SPR 20222725)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records December 12, 2022 SPR22/2725 Tammy Kraus Superintendent Bureau of the State House 24 Beacon Street, Room 1 Boston, MA 02133 Dear Superintendent Kraus: I have received the petition of Jason Connors appealing the response of the Bureau of the State House (Bureau) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On June 30, 2022, Mr. Connors requested, “… surveillance videos from an incident that took place on June 11th, 2022 in room 5 of the Massachusetts Statehouse … [and] inside floor 1 hallway that leads from elevators 5 and 6 to door 14.” Previous appeal This request was the subject of a previous appeal. See SPR22/1907 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (August 25, 2022). The Bureau responded on September 9, 2022. Unsatisfied with the response, Mr. Connors petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2725, was opened as a result. Based upon a conversation between a Public Records Division senior attorney and a Bureau representative, it is my understanding that the Bureau intends on providing a further response to Mr. Connors. Accordingly, the Bureau is ordered to provide Mr. Connors 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. Connors may appeal the substantive nature of Bureau’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). 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
