All Records of Any Reported Incidents or Safety Issues [including four categories of records] Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Paul petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/3760, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Authority provided Ms. Paul with a response on December 23, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Authority’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Paul may appeal the substantive nature of the Authority’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
