FOIA Request to Illinois Civil Service Commission Regarding State Agency Contracts with Vendors on March 24, 2025.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Sangamon Sun have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Illinois Civil Service Commission. Our request seeks documentation and details concerning the fulfillment of contractual obligations for all contracts executed or modified between this state agency and their vendors during January of the 2023 fiscal year.
Specifically, we are requesting records that verify the scope of work performed, deliverables completed, and any reports or evaluations related to these contracts. This information is crucial for holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency in government operations.
As members of The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating state and federal governmental agencies, we leverage Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws to shed light on government actions. Our goal is to inform the American electorate by pulling back the curtain on governmental activities.
We believe that access to these public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities as media professionals. Therefore, we have requested a fee waiver in line with our role in disseminating information to the public.
