FOIA Request Sent to City Of Olney Finance Department Regarding Sales Tax Records on October 31, 2024

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City Of Olney Finance Department on October 31, 2024. The request, filed by East Central Reporter, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, seeks detailed records about city sales tax.

Specifically, the request is for a list of businesses that paid sales tax to the city from January 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024. The information sought includes each business's name and type as well as the amount of sales tax paid by each during this period.

In addition to these specifics about individual businesses, East Central Reporter has also requested the total amount of sales tax that the city collected over this same period.
