FOIA Request to City of Morrison Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.
In our continuous effort to promote transparency and accountability in local government affairs, we at NW Illinois News have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Morrison. The request was sent on October 28, 2024, seeking detailed information about unpaid parking violations within the city.
Our request specifically asked for a comprehensive list of all current unpaid parking violations. The details sought include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date when the violation occurred, and the total amount due from each offender.
As a media organization dedicated to providing accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, access to such public records is crucial for us. It enables us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the public.
We believe that as media professionals engaged in gathering and reporting news to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver under FOIA. We await a response from the City of Morrison regarding this request and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
