A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the City of Blue Island concerning unpaid parking violations on October 28, 2024.
As a part of our commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at South Cook News requested specific records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. The requested records include a list of all currently unpaid parking violations. The details sought in this list encompass the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date of the violation, and the total amount due.
We believe that access to public records is vital for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we have requested a fee waiver for this information.
The information obtained from this request will be used to further our mission of keeping our readers informed about local government affairs and ensuring transparency within our community.
