John Paff: West Orange Board of Ed Charges $150 to Access Payroll Records

I recently learned that the West Orange Board of Education assesses records requestors a $150 special service charge for each payroll report requested under the Open Public Record Act (OPRA). According to a July 31, 2012 e-mail from ADP, the payroll vendor (available here:http://ogtf.lpcnj.org/2012/2012215ot//ExtractPage1.pdf ), the company apparently does charge the Board $150 for each report prepared.
