Complainant alleged that the Town violated the APRA when it failed to provide a reason for requesting a time extension to his February 13, 2016 APRA request. We found that the Town's failure to provide a reason why it was requesting a time extension violated R.I. Gen. Laws. § 38-2-3(e). Based on the specific facts presented, including the fact that the Complainant did not challenge the validity of the Town's request for an extension, we found no evidence of a willful and knowing, or reckless, violation.
