A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the City Of Maroa on October 28, 2024. The request was made by us at Macon Reporter, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The FOIA request specifically asked for a list of all parking violations currently unpaid in the city. The details requested include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, violation date, and total due.
As a media organization, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities.
We have requested these records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, preferably in electronic format. Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we have also asked for a fee waiver as a media professional.
The City Of Maroa has yet to respond to this request. We will continue to follow up on this matter and provide updates as they become available.
