As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at NW Illinois News have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Polo City Council.
Our request, sent on October 15, 2024, seeks detailed information about all council members. Specifically, we are requesting records that include each member's name, title, year of appointment, term length (2 or 4 years), and term expiration date.
We believe that access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As a media organization dedicated to gathering and reporting news to the public, we have requested a fee waiver for this information.
Our team at NW Illinois News continues to work tirelessly in pursuit of transparent governance and will keep our readers updated with any developments regarding this request.
