Ms. Carla Vitale 
Town of Winthrop Town Clerk 
One Metcalf Square, Room 5 
Winthrop, MA 02152 
Dear Ms. Vitale: 
I have received the petition of Mr. Todd Wallack appealing the nonresponse of the Town
of Winthrop Town Clerk (Town) to his request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also
950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Wallack submitted a request for “a copy of the [Town’s]
voter rolls.” Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Wallack petitioned this office and
this appeal was opened as a result. 
Subsequently, this office was notified that a response was provided, dated Monday,
February 8, 2020. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the Town’s lack of a written
response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Wallack may appeal the
substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). 
Sincerely, 
Rebecca S. Murray 
Supervisor of Records
