SE Illinois News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, has submitted a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140) for records pertaining to unpaid parking violations in the city.
The request specifically seeks an electronic list of all parking violations currently unpaid. This includes details such as the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, violation date, and total due.
As a media organization dedicated to transparency and holding public institutions accountable, we at SE Illinois News believe that access to these public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. In light of our role in disseminating information to the public, we have requested a fee waiver as part of this FOIA request.
