A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Wheaton regarding unpaid parking violations on October 28, 2024. The request was made by DuPage Policy Journal, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The specific information requested includes a list of all parking violations currently unpaid. The details asked for each violation are the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, the date of the violation, and the total due.
As part of our journalistic duties at DuPage Policy Journal, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
