A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Casey regarding unpaid parking violations on October 28, 2024.
We at East Central Reporter, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, requested records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. The request specifically asked for a list of all parking violations currently unpaid in the city. The information sought includes the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, violation date, and total due.
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 media professionals.
We await response from the City of Casey regarding this matter and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
