They asked, so did we.

On December 9, 2021 we asked the office of Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt (r) via a RSMo § 610 (Missouri Sunshine Law) request for the submitted contents of the illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov email address set up by the Attorney General to solicit complaints about mask wearing in Missouri public schools.

Our original request:

[….] Under RSMo § 610 I am requesting the following from your office:

All emails and attachments submitted to the email address – illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov [….]

The response from the office of Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt (r), on December 14, 2021:

[….] Due to the dates and the volume of records to be searched, the earliest we expect responsive records, if any, to be available is December 23, 2021. In the event they are available earlier, we will provide them as soon as they are available. [….]

We gave it another week. Yesterday, we asked for an update:

December 9, 2021 – Missouri Sunshine Law Request
Michael Bersin [….] Thu, Dec 30, 2021 at 1:25 PM
To: [….]@ago.mo.gov

[….]

This is to inquire about the status of my Missouri Sunshine Law Request submitted to your office on December 9, 2021. Please advise.

Michael Bersin
[….]

We’re still waiting.

So far the absence of alacrity from the office of Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt (r) to our RSMo § 610 (Missouri Sunshine Law) request is…disturbing.
