See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On December 3, 2022, Mr. Herman requested “[r]ecords of all the expenses the secretary of the agency has incurred in his/her capacity as secretary of the agency for the period October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Herman petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2792, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal, it remains unclear whether the Office has provided a response. Accordingly, the Office is ordered to provide Mr. Herman 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. Herman may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
