A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the City Of Greenville Finance Department on October 31, 2024. The request, sent by South Central Reporter, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, seeks detailed information about city sales tax records.
Specifically, the FOIA request asks for a list of businesses that paid sales tax to the city from January 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024. The requested details include each business's name and type as well as the amount of sales tax each paid during that period.
In addition to this detailed breakdown, South Central Reporter also requests the total amount of sales tax that the city collected within the same timeframe.
As journalists committed to transparency and public accountability, we at South Central Reporter believe access to such public records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We have requested these records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act and have asked for a fee waiver given our role as media professionals disseminating information to the public.
The City Of Greenville Finance Department has yet to respond or provide any further details regarding this request.
