Dear Mr. Bennett,
Under the Maine Freedom of Access Act § 402 et seq., I am requesting an opportunity to inspect or obtain copies of public records that detail when the Virginia Cartmill Trust was established, its board the first year and its board now, how much money has been distributed from the trust each year it has existed and for what purposes.
If there are any fees for searching or copying these records, please inform me if the cost will exceed $20. However, I would also like to request a waiver of all fees in that the disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the public’s understanding of the injunction proceeding. This information is not being sought for commercial purposes.
If you intend to deny this request, I will expect to hear from you within the five business days mandated by law. Also, if you expect a significant delay in responding to this request, please contact me with information about when I might expect copies or the ability to inspect the requested records.
Thank you for considering my request.
Sincerely,
Molly Lovell Keely
