In our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at South Central Reporter have sent a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140) to the City of Staunton. The request, sent on October 28, 2024, seeks access to records of all unpaid parking violations in the city.
The information sought includes the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date of the violation, and the total amount due. We believe that access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to our readership.
