FOIA Request to Greenville City regarding procurement bids and RFP submissions on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to Greenville City by Prairie State Wire, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs. The request seeks records related to procurement bids and responses to requests for proposals (RFPs) received by the city during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The specific records requested include details such as the solicitation or project title, names of bidders or proposers, submission dates, bid amounts or proposed costs, and descriptions of the goods or services proposed. The request emphasizes that it is limited to existing records and does not require the creation of new documents. Additionally, if any part of the request is denied, a statutory basis for denial is requested along with all reasonably segregable portions of the records.
Prairie State Wire has requested these records in electronic format if available and has sought a fee waiver based on their role as a member of the media. The organization highlights its commitment to gathering information in the public interest and disseminating it to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit corporation assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.

In Illinois, pet owners must have a license for certain pets, like dogs, and comply with state and local regulations. These licenses are defined in the Illinois Animal Welfare Act and must comply with the Animal Welfare Act and Animal Welfare Rules. The pet license typically involves a fee and must be renewed periodically. Licensing supports animal control and health programs and helps ensure that pets have the correct vaccinations, especially against deadly and highly contagious diseases like rabies.
