A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Paxton regarding unpaid parking violations on October 28, 2024. As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Chambana Sun have requested specific records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
The records we are seeking include a list of all parking violations currently unpaid in the city. The details requested include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date when each violation occurred, and the total amount due.
As a media organization, we believe that access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. We are hopeful that our request will be granted without any fees as we continue our work in disseminating information to the public.
We look forward to sharing this information with our readers once it becomes available.
