FOIA Request to Illinois Commission on Equity and Inclusion 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 have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Illinois Commission on Equity and Inclusion. This 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.
Our inquiry specifically targets records that verify the scope of work performed, deliverables completed, and any reports or evaluations related to these contracts. Access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities, which include holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the public.
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 operations. For more information about our coalition's mission, please visit [https://stopsecrecy.org/about/](https://stopsecrecy.org/about/).
We are hopeful that this request will be met with cooperation from the Illinois Commission on Equity and Inclusion, allowing us to continue our work in serving the public interest.
