FOIA Request to City of North Chicago Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at the Lake County Gazette have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.
The request specifically asks for a list of all parking violations currently unpaid within the city. This includes details such as the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, violation date, and total due.
We believe that access to public records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As a media organization dedicated to disseminating information, we are eligible for a fee waiver as per media professional norms.
We will continue to keep you updated as we gather and report news on this matter. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification regarding this request.
