The DuPage Policy Journal has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Office of Willowbrook Village President. The request seeks access to records concerning all contracts with the village's law firms and all 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.
