I refer to the ‘Goodbye Graffiti’ website which states that if a person’s information leads to the arrest or caution of an offender, they may be eligible for a reward of up to $1000, and ask:
(a) for each year since this reward was first offered, please provide the number of rewards granted;
(b) for each year since this reward was first offered, please provided a breakdown of what state regions rewards were granted;
(c) since this reward was first offered, what is the total amount paid out as rewards;
(d) how much funding is currently allocated to this reward program; and
(e) how much of this funding is currently unused or has not be awarded?
