A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City Of Danville Finance Department on October 31, 2024. The request, made by Chambana Sun, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, sought detailed information about the city's sales tax records.
The specific records requested under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act include a list of businesses that paid sales tax to the city from January 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024. The requested details for each business are their name, type, and the amount of sales tax they paid during this period.
In addition to this, Chambana Sun also requested information on the total amount of sales tax that the city collected from January 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024.
As part of our commitment to transparency and public accountability in local government affairs, we at Chambana Sun believe access to these public records is essential. This information will enable us to provide our readers with an accurate picture of the city's financial landscape and contribute significantly towards holding public institutions accountable.
We have also requested a fee waiver for this FOIA request based on our role as a media organization disseminating important information to the public. We await a response from the City Of Danville Finance Department regarding our request.
