A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Trenton, Illinois, regarding unpaid parking violations on October 28, 2024. The request was made by South Central Reporter, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
In our pursuit of transparency and accountability in public institutions, we sought records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, specifically looking for a list of all currently unpaid parking violations. The requested details include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due for each violation, the date of violation, and the total amount due.
As part of our journalistic duty to provide comprehensive coverage on local government affairs and promote transparency within public institutions, we believe access to such records is essential. As a media organization disseminating information to the public, we also requested a fee waiver in line with our role as media professionals.
We are eagerly awaiting a response from the City of Trenton regarding this matter. We remain committed to holding public institutions accountable and ensuring that our readers have access to accurate and relevant information about their communities.
