We are making this request for purposes of newsgathering and reporting about a subject that is of public interest and important to the citizens of Connecticut. Disclosure of this information therefore is in the public interest and benefits the general welfare, and we request that all fees be waived pursuant to the FOIA, Section 1-212(d)(3). In the event that you deny this request for fee waiver, we reserve the right to appeal such denial, but in the meantime we request that you advise us of the fee you consider reasonable.

If you have any questions or need any additional information, I would appreciate your contacting me by telephone or e-mail as I am making this request in my capacity as a news reporter and the information is of timely value. I look forward to hearing from you promptly.
