As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability in local government affairs, we at South Central Reporter have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Benld. The request, dated October 28, 2024, seeks access to public records detailing all currently unpaid parking violations within the city.
Specifically, we are requesting a comprehensive list that 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 holding accountable those who flout local laws and ordinances and in providing a clear picture of how such issues are handled by local authorities.

These records enable us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the benefit of the public.
We have also requested a fee waiver for this information as per our role as a media organization disseminating important information to the public. We will continue to keep you updated on developments regarding this request.
