A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City Of Country Club Hills Finance Department regarding sales tax records on October 31, 2024.
The request, made by South Cook News, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, sought detailed information about the city's sales tax collection from January 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024.
Specifically, we asked for a list of businesses that paid sales tax to the city during this period. The requested details include the business name, business type, and the amount of sales tax each business paid. Additionally, we requested the total amount of sales tax that the city collected within this timeframe.
As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we believe access to such public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We also indicated our eligibility for a fee waiver as a media professional in our request.
We await a response from the City Of Country Club Hills Finance Department and will continue our efforts to provide accurate and comprehensive coverage of local governmental affairs.
