FOIA Request to City of Leland Grove Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Sangamon Sun have sent a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140) to the City of Leland Grove.
Our request is for a list of all parking violations currently unpaid within the city. This includes the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, violation date, and total due. We have requested this information preferably in an electronic format for ease of access and analysis.
Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities as journalists. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We await a response from the City Clerk's office and will keep our readers updated with any developments. As always, we remain committed to shedding light on local government operations and ensuring accountability through our reporting.
