FOIA Request to Winchester City Council Regarding Detailed Information of Council Members on October 15, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at West Central Reporter have submitted a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. The request was sent to the Winchester City Council seeking detailed information about its council members.
The requested details include each council member's name, title, year of appointment, term length (whether it is two or four years), and the date their term expires. This information is essential for us to provide transparency to the public and hold public institutions accountable.
As a media organization dedicated to gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe that access to such public records is vital in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. Therefore, we have requested a fee waiver as a media professional for this purpose.
We await a response from the Winchester City Council and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
