FOIA Request to City of Rockford Regarding Unpaid Parking Violations on October 28, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at the Rockford Sun have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140).
The requested information pertains specifically to all parking violations currently unpaid within the city. The details sought include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, violation date, and total due.
Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities as journalists. This includes holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We await a response from the City of Rockford and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
