FOIA Request to City Of Waterloo Finance Department Regarding Sales Tax Records on October 31, 2024.
In our ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at SW Illinois News have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
The request specifically seeks access to a list of businesses that paid sales tax to the city from January 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024. The requested information includes the business name, business type, and the amount of sales tax each entity paid during this period.
In addition to this detailed breakdown, we have also asked for the total amount of sales tax that the city collected within the same timeframe. This information is vital in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to our readers.
As a media organization committed to delivering unbiased news about local government affairs, we believe access to such public records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We continue to work tirelessly in disseminating crucial information and fostering an informed citizenry.
