Kimberly/MPS
Data Request Staff---
Eight
days have now transpired since I issued Public Data Request #26-511 asking for
Davis Center staff listed by position and salary. In prior
administrations Scott Weber easily provided this information within a day or
two.
Please
fulfill the indicated request with all due speed.
With best
regards---

I
then replied briefly to Kimberly Haynes as follows:
This is a
highly routine request that in all past administrations has been fulfilled
within two days--- I will again be making numerous requests as I
complete the second edition of my book in the district, so that delay in this
one is worrisome. Delays in providing information that should be readily
available becomes part of my assessment of an administration I have found to be
frequently prevaricating---
