Saul Casdin v. Cummington, Town of - (SPR 20250313)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records February 12, 2025 SPR25/0313 Brian Gilman Selectboard Member Town of Cummington 33 Main Street Cummington, MA 01026 Dear Mr. Gilman: I have received the petition of Saul Casdin appealing the response of the Town of Cummington (Town) to three requests for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On December 19, 2024, in three separate requests, Mr. Casdin requested the following: [1] All emails sent by [an identified individual] via all of his town email addresses since 2016 to [nine listed people or groups]. [2] All fleet records for police department from January 1st 2014 – December 19th 2024[.] [3] All items paid for the ARPA funding[,] as well as the dates or date ranges[.] Previous Appeals These requests were the subject of previous appeals. See SPR25/0193, SPR25/0194, and SPR25/0195 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (January 31, 2025). In the January 31st determination, I closed these appeals after I learned that the Town intended on providing Mr. Casdin with a supplemental response. The Town provided Mr. Casdin with a response on January 31, 2025. Unsatisfied with the Town’s response, Mr. Casdin petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/0313, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided a supplemental response on February 4, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s January 31st response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Casdin may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s February 4th response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
