A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Waukegan City Council on October 15, 2024. The request, filed by us at the Lake County Gazette, seeks comprehensive information about the council members.
The specific details requested include each council member's name, title, year of appointment, term length (2 or 4 years), and term expiration date. This information is essential for our ongoing coverage of local governmental affairs.
As a media organization committed to providing accurate news coverage on local government matters, we believe access to such public records is crucial. It enables us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
In line with this commitment, we have also requested a fee waiver as a media professional. This waiver will facilitate our work in gathering and reporting news to the public without any financial constraints.
We await a response from the Waukegan City Council and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
