A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Hometown City Council on October 15, 2024. The request, issued by South Cook News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, seeks information about the council members.
Specifically, the FOIA request asks for a list of all council members with certain fields. These include each member's name, title, year appointed, term length (2 or 4 years), and term expiration date.
As part of our mission at South Cook News, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
