DuBois City Open Records Challenge

Okay! So for this class we were supposed to write a letter to either our old school district or the city council asking for public records. Well, I did that. I wrote my letter addressed to the City of DuBois, only because I was unsure of who the record-keeper for the city was. I asked for records concerning the on-going battle about sewer rights (I know, very interesting, right?) But nevertheless, there has been a lot of controversy regarding this back home. All I know about the issue is what I heard from my parents. They both said that at one point in time, Sandy Township wasn't doing so well economically, and DuBois City was. Sandy tried to merge with DuBois, but DuBois said no. Then just recently, DuBois wanted to merge with Sandy, because Sandy had brought in a new shopping plaza, new stores for the mall, a Wal-Mart, etc., and DuBois was starting to lose business because of the new conviences Sandy brought in.

In some sense, there is a lot of "bad blood" between the two, and this whole sewer issue could be considered spiteful by the city. And all because Sandy Township is bringing in more money due to its growing economy.

But back to the letter at hand! So I wrote this letter, to the mystery right to know officer of DuBois city. I did not hear back from them for almost two weeks! I thought they were going to blow me off, and pretend that they never received my letter. But, when I went to check my campus mail box yesterday afternoon, there was a letter from the City of DuBois in my mailbox!
When I opened it, I am happy to report that they seem willing to comply with my request, because I was given a form to fill out and I just have to mail it in.

So I did in fact hear back from them, I just need to fill out the form and mail it back, and according to the post-it note attached to the form, they will send me my requested information.
