As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Kane County Reporter have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City Of St. Charles Finance Department in Illinois.
The request, sent on October 31, 2024, seeks records pertaining to sales tax collected by the city from January 1, 2023, through October 31, 2024. Specifically, we are seeking a list of businesses that paid sales tax during this period along with details such as the business name, type of business and the amount of sales tax paid by each entity.
In addition to these specific details about individual businesses, we have also requested information regarding the total amount of sales tax that the city collected during this period.
Our mission at Kane County Reporter is to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency for our readers. Access to public records like these is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe that our role in disseminating information makes us eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
We look forward to sharing more detailed insights into local government finance once we receive and analyze these records.
