DETAILS OF THE REQUESTING PARTY

DETAILS OF THE REQUEST
- Request:
I am currently requesting access to all pending documents which are related to the Digital Inclusion & Equity Act of 2024 (DIEA) which was introduced by Mayor Hank Preston and authored by the Deputy Mayor Frederick Coleman. The following types of documents or types of influences are required before the Bill is brought before Council and I'd also like to request a partisan stay of the bill until a proper review can be formed and submitted to both members of City Council and The Political Sandbox Journal/Forum.
In addition, given this is directed to public policy, an additional request will be made to remove any attempt at censoring current or previous government officials names from any transcripts requested. Given that votes on pieces of legislature are performed in the public eye and not privately, I am of firm belief that it is only fair for government officials to provide appropriate evidence. The intent of the following materials will be used to critically assess and publicize the cost of this bill for the common taxpayer, among potential other criticisms or support to the bill that may arise.
All documents MUST be timestamped with both the date that they were collected, and the date that they were last revised, and a final date stating when they were submitted in response to this request.

"ISP" Refers to the term "Internet Service Provider" which can also be used to refer to any telecommunications company that may serve to have an interest in this bill.
"Contact" refers to any communication established between any individual, organization, or government entity with another individual, organization, or government entity.

This is not apart of the Freedom of Information Request and thus is not expected.
