A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City Of Olney, Illinois, on October 28, 2024. The request, made by East Central Reporter, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, seeks information regarding all unpaid parking violations within the city.
The specific details requested include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date of the violation, and the total amount due. The intention behind this request is to gather and report news related to public accountability and transparency.
As part of our journalistic duty at East Central Reporter, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We have therefore requested a fee waiver as a media professional under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
We await a response from the City Of Olney and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
