As part of our ongoing commitment to providing 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.
Our request is specifically focused on obtaining a list of all parking violations currently unpaid within the jurisdiction of the City Of West Peoria. This list should include details such as the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date of violation, and total due.
As media professionals involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals. We await a response from the City Of West Peoria and will continue to keep our readers informed about this and other matters of public interest.
