FOIA Request to City Of Palos Hills Finance Department Regarding Sales Tax Records on October 25, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at South Cook News have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City Of Palos Hills Finance Department in Illinois. The request specifically seeks records of sales tax collected from retailers since the start of the year until the present date.
The information we are seeking includes detailed data such as sales tax collected from retailers by month compared with projected figures, the number of active retail locations paying sales tax by month, and the names of each retailer along with their gross retail sales reported for each month.
As a media organization dedicated to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional.
We look forward to receiving this information and will continue to keep our readers informed about important local governmental affairs.
