FOIA Request to City of Lasalle Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability in local government, we at the Illinois Valley Times have submitted a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140) to the City of Lasalle. The request, sent on October 28, 2024, seeks comprehensive data on all currently unpaid parking violations within the city.
The information requested includes the name of each offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date of the violation, and the total amount due. We believe that this information is crucial in providing a clear picture of how parking regulations are enforced in LaSalle and how citizens are responding to these regulations.
We are committed to gathering and reporting news to our readers with accuracy and thoroughness. Access to public records such as these is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. This includes holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency for our readers.
As a media organization, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver for this request. We look forward to receiving this important data from the City of Lasalle and will continue our work in bringing light to local governmental affairs.
