A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Clinton, Illinois, on October 28, 2024. The request was made by us at Macon Reporter, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The request specifically asked 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 for each violation, the date when each violation occurred, and the total amount due from each offender.
As a media organization committed to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, we believe that access to these records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We have therefore requested that these records be provided in an electronic format for ease of access and dissemination.
In line with our role in gathering and reporting news to the public, we have also applied for a fee waiver as a media professional under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
We are eagerly awaiting a response from the City of Clinton regarding this request. As always, we remain committed to providing our readers with timely and accurate information about local government affairs.
