RE:
unbacked
bills
Ms.
Boyer-Vine,
Thank
you
for
your
reply.
Given
that
your
email
oers
two
responses,
Im
hoping
that
you
can
oer
some
clarity:
1.
You
say
the
Oce
cant
readily
track
the
number
of
unbacked
requests.
Does
that
mean
its
something
that
would
take
Lme
to
count?
Or
do
you
mean
that
the
Oce
has
no
way
of
counLng
them?
2.
If
there
is
no
way
to
disaggregate
the
data,
could
you
simply
provide
a
total
number
of
bills
draded
by
the
Oce
in
the
2013-14
session?
Or
for
any
other
two-year
session?
3.
Im
aware
of
aeorney-client
privilege,
but
could
you
provide
more
informaLon
on
how
our
request
for
aggregate
data
falls
under
that
rule?
Were
not
seeking
informaLon
on
the
contents
of
the
bills,
simply
the
total
number
of
requests
made.
If
it
helps,
were
amending
our
request
to
only
cover
the
2013-14
session,
which
would
seem
to
eliminate
any
privilege
issues
related
to
pending
legislaLon
and/or
legislaLve
deliberaLons.
We're
hoping
you
can
answer
two
addiLonal
quesLons,
as
well:
1.
Are
there
any
limits
placed
on
how
many
unbacked
bills
that
a
member
can
request
your
Oce
to
drad?
2.
Would
aeorney-client
privilege,
in
your
view,
extend
to
former
legislators?
Given
the
nature
of
your
work,
we
certainly
understand
the
concerns
with
condenLality.
However,
we
also
believe
that
aggregate
historical
data
is
of
importance
to
the
public.
As
such,
if
there
are
specic
laws
or
regulaLons
that
you
believe
prohibit
disclosure,
it
would
be
helpful
to
know
which
ones.
Thanks
again,
John
Myers
