A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Marion City Council in Illinois on October 15, 2024. The request, made by the Carbondale Reporter, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, seeks detailed information about all council members.
The specific details requested include each council member's name, title, year of appointment, term length (2 or 4 years), and term expiration date. This information is crucial for our ongoing reporting and analysis of local government activities and trends.
As we at the Carbondale Reporter continue our mission to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public, access to such public records is essential. Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we have also requested a fee waiver as a media professional under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
We eagerly await the Marion City Council's response to this request and look forward to sharing this important information with our readers.
