FOIA Request to City of Washington 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 Peoria Standard have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. The request specifically seeks information about all unpaid parking violations in the city.
The details requested include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date of each violation, and the total amount due. We believe that access to this public record is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver as per media professional norms. We await a response from the City of Washington regarding this request and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
