Editor’s Note 05/59/25: The submission above has been marked as “Completed”.
Please review any emails we received (07/24/2024 through 11/20/2024) from Lincoln County, NC Attorney Megan Gilbert in regard to the following records request:
Including that request – currently, we still have 3 “open” requests submitted to Lincoln County, NC:
Megan’s messages on 07/24/24 and 11/20/24 are intended to apply to all 3 of those open requests, as well as any prior requests the County has already fulfilled for us since May 2024.
Until the matter is resolved, Sunshine Request ([email protected]) will not be sending new requests to Lincoln County, NC Government. We are aware there is some public interest regarding this matter, as we’ve received numerous direct emails from individuals since 2024 asking about these requests. We cannot yet disclose on our site what our course of action is with Lincoln County. Once that info can be shared (publicly on our site), an update will be posted. Please note that we are a very small team, running this website in addition to our primary business.
** Please do not attempt to submit any new requests to the County through our website, or via direct email to our Team, during this time. If you would like to submit a new records request for the County to fulfill, please reach out to them directly for assistance outside of our website. In regard to salary data — that should be a simple request for them to fulfill. They should be able to complete that for you within 1 day or 1 week. Many other NC entities are able to.
If you have additional questions about our site, please check out our FAQs or Policies page.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
