This request demanded that First Selectman Don Lowe and Selectman Bob Ostrosky produce all correspondence received between January 1 and May 11, 2026, regarding BOE maintenance expenditures and the shifting of the $50M Sherman School renovation project costs. First Selectman Lowe formally acknowledged the request on May 14, 2026, but entered Constructive Denial after an unlawful delay.

UPDATE (July 5, 2026): After a formal appeal was filed with the state FOIC, First Selectman Lowe certified in writing on June 10 that a secondary search yielded zero records[cite: 3]. Accepting this as a truthful admission of profound administrative and fiduciary negligence, the FOIC appeal was formally withdrawn to focus investigative resources on actionable, coordinated tax fraud within the Assessor's Office.
