Dear Records Custodian:

Under the Vermont Public Records Law, §315 et seq., I am requesting 
an opportunity to inspect or obtain copies of any Records
regarding Fred Sargeant.

I would strongly prefer that these records be provided in digital 
format or be posted on your transparency page for the public to view 
directly.

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 may contribute 
significantly to the publics understanding of policing and how 
government deals with hate groups.

I am a citizen journalist who is gathering this information in the 
public interest This information is not being sought for commercial 
purposes however it may be shared with commercial media.

The law requires a response to this request within 2 days, or 
within 10 days for extraordinary circumstances. If you expect a 
significant delay in fulfilling this request, please contact me
with information about when I might expect copies or the ability 
to inspect the requested records. If you deny any or all of this 
request, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies 
the refusal to release the information and notify me of the 
appeal procedures available to me under the law. Thank you for
