FOIA Request to Office of Itasca Village President regarding law firm contracts and invoices on June 18, 2025.
The DuPage Policy Journal has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Office of Itasca Village President. The request seeks access to records concerning all contracts with the village's law firms and any invoices submitted by these firms over the past six months. This request is made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The purpose of this request is to gather information necessary for reporting on local governmental affairs, ensuring transparency and accountability within public institutions. As a media organization, DuPage Policy Journal emphasizes its role in disseminating information to the public and has requested a fee waiver based on its status as a media professional entity.
Additionally, it is noted that the requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that supports media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government actions through FOIA and Sunshine Laws. More details about this coalition can be found at https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format as it will greatly aid in our reporting efforts. As always, we remain open for any questions or clarifications regarding this request.
