FOIA Request Sent to City Of Rock Falls Finance Department Regarding Sales Tax Records on October 31, 2024

FOIA Request to City Of Rock Falls Finance Department Regarding Sales Tax Records on October 31, 2024.

In a bid to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at NW Illinois News have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City Of Rock Falls Finance Department. The request was made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, and seeks information regarding sales tax records for the period from January 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024.

Specifically, we are seeking an electronic format list of businesses that paid sales tax to the city within this timeframe. The requested details include the business name, business type, and the amount of sales tax paid by each entity. Additionally, we have asked for the total amount of sales tax that the city collected within this period.

As a media organization dedicated to reporting on public institutions' activities and providing transparency to our readership, access to such public records is essential. This information will enable us in holding public institutions accountable while keeping our audience informed about how their taxes are being utilized.

We believe that as media professionals involved in gathering and disseminating news to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver for this request. We eagerly await a response from the City Of Rock Falls Finance Department and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
