A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City Of Geneva Finance Department on October 31, 2024. The request, made by us at Kane County Reporter, seeks comprehensive details about city sales tax records.
The requested information includes a list of businesses that paid sales tax to the city from January 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024. The specific fields requested for each business are the business name, business type, and the amount of sales tax paid.
In addition to this detailed breakdown, we also requested the total amount of sales tax that the city collected within the same period. This information is vital in our ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we believe access to such public records is essential. It enables us to fulfill our professional responsibilities effectively.
We have also expressed our eligibility for a fee waiver as a media professional due to our role in gathering and disseminating information to the public.
We look forward to receiving a positive response from the City Of Geneva Finance Department regarding this request.
