FOIA Request to City of Grayville Regarding Newly Registered Businesses on May 7, 2025.
As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability in local governmental affairs, SE Illinois News has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Grayville. We are seeking a comprehensive list of businesses registered with the city over the past week. The requested information includes several key details about each business:
– Business Name
– Business Number
– Business Type
– Business Address
– Issued Date
– Status
– Registered Agent Name
Our objective is to ensure that public records remain accessible and that government actions are transparent to the community we serve. As members of The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Missouri Corporation, we leverage Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws to investigate state and federal governmental agencies. This initiative helps us inform the American electorate by pulling back the curtain on government actions.
We have also requested a fee waiver for this information, given our role as media professionals dedicated to gathering and reporting news for public benefit. Access to these records is crucial for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities, which include holding public institutions accountable.
