A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City Of Darien Finance Department on October 31, 2024. The request, issued by DuPage Policy Journal, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, seeks information about city sales tax records.
Specifically, we are seeking a list of businesses that paid sales tax to the city from January 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024. The requested data includes the business name, business type, and the amount of sales tax paid by each business during this period.
In addition to individual business data, we have also requested the total amount of sales tax that the city collected within the same timeframe.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to public records is essential for us at DuPage Policy Journal. This information will help us fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
We believe that as a media professional organization we are eligible for a fee waiver for this request. We eagerly await a response from the City Of Darien Finance Department regarding these records.
