A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Le Roy regarding unpaid parking violations on October 28, 2024. The request was made by McLean County Times, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The FOIA request specifically sought records of all parking violations currently unpaid within the city's jurisdiction. The details requested include 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 part of our commitment to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we at McLean County Times believe that access to such records is crucial. It enables us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
We have also requested a fee waiver for this information as a media professional involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. This request is based on our role in disseminating information that contributes significantly to public understanding of government operations or activities.
We await a response from the City of Le Roy regarding this FOIA request. We will continue to keep our readers informed about developments on this matter as they unfold.
