In a continued effort to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at East Central Reporter have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Casey City Council in Illinois. The request, dated October 15, 2024, seeks specific information about the council members.
We are requesting a list of all council members with the following details: their names, titles, years they were appointed, term lengths (whether two or four years), and the dates their terms expire. This information is crucial for us to ensure transparency and accountability in our reporting.
As a media organization committed to disseminating information to the public, we believe access to such public records is essential. We aim to use this data to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency for our readership. Given our role in news gathering and reporting, we have requested a fee waiver as a media professional under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
We look forward to receiving this information from the Casey City Council as it will significantly contribute towards fulfilling our professional responsibilities.
