FOIA Request to the City of Streator Finance Department Regarding Detailed Information on City Sales Tax Records was sent on October 31, 2024.
As part of our commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Illinois Valley Times requested specific records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. The requested records pertain to businesses that paid sales tax to the city from January 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024.
The details sought include the business name, business type, and the amount of sales tax paid by each entity during this period. Additionally, we also requested information regarding the total amount of sales tax that the city collected during this timeframe.
Access to public records is crucial for us at Illinois Valley Times in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities encompass holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We await a response from the City of Streator Finance Department and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
