In our ongoing commitment to providing 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 City of St. Francisville in Illinois. The request was made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.
We are seeking a list of all parking violations currently unpaid within the city's jurisdiction. This includes details such as the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date when each violation occurred, and the total amount due from each offender.
As journalists committed to gathering and reporting news to the public, access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
The City of St. Francisville has yet to respond to our request. We will continue to update you as more information becomes available.
