Sorry to disappoint, but this is not a knee-jerk reaction. In my 3 years as Providence City Clerk, we never instructed someone who sought this type of record to file a formal APRA request, nor did we even consider such behavior. This is a deliberate abuse of the public's trust.
A total waste of time. This is the knee-jerk reaction we are seeing all the time, now. Public records are just that, and we (public and press) should not have to enter into what is essentially a form of litigation to get them.

Or even better, “Please provide copies of any emails from the City Clerk (or any of their staff) attaching Trade Name records during 2023.” It might provide evidence that your request was singled out for some mysterious reason.

Maybe @RIDOTNews should focus on fixing the roads without major delays instead of creating more gridlock with public records requests. valleybreeze.com/news/north-…

It will be so embarrassing for McKee if RI loses this opportunity.
Today's must-read is by @FitzProv, who went down to Philadelphia to see what @scoutlimited could help create the Cranston Street Armory -- and got a good sense of what Rhode Island stands to lose if the project stalls out. -->

Great to be back in the RI State House with @gencitizen for #CivicsDayGC to hear our #StudentVoice and see all of the participating students and volunteers!

Felicidades to @LPIRWU and ED @MarceB_ri on the next chapter of growth — we are proud and grateful for the work you do 💪🏽
It has been a privilege to be part of @LPIRWU for the last 4 years and to have witnessed incredible leaders like @AnnaKids1st, @Jorge_Elorza, @DomingoMorel, and so many others work to grow this organization.
We are excited about this new chapter of LPI together.

More @cbouzy and less Nate Silver please. Thanks.
1/14 I’ve been absent from Twitter all year, but I’m so concerned a proposed PVD Charter amendment is under voters' radar that I must ask:
Do you know why voting NO on Local Question 7 is so important to preserve the independence of Council appointees? (a thread for democracy)🧵
13/14 Council Appointees do serve the Council in many positive ways. But they aren't meant to be direct reports to the Council President as demanded by John Igliozzi today. Unfortunately, those illegal demands aren't publicly challenged by current Council Members who support him.
