FOIA Request to Albion City Council Regarding Detailed Information of Council Members on October 15, 2024.
In our continued efforts to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at SE Illinois News have submitted a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. We have requested the Albion City Council for a list of all council members with specific details including their names, titles, years of appointment, term lengths (2 or 4 years), and term expiry dates.
As a media organization dedicated to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe that this information will not only aid in our reporting but also contribute significantly towards ensuring transparency in local governance.
We have requested that the information be provided in an electronic format for ease of access and dissemination. Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we have also sought a fee waiver as a media professional.
We await the response from the Albion City Council and will continue to keep our readers updated on this matter.
