FOIA Request to Village of MC Nabb regarding expense reimbursement records on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Village of MC Nabb by Prairie State Wire, a media organization dedicated to reporting on local governmental affairs. The request seeks access to the village’s expense reimbursement records for the immediately preceding calendar month. This inquiry is made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The requested records should include specific details such as the name and title of individuals who received reimbursements, the dates and amounts reimbursed, descriptions of the expenses covered, and the associated department or office. The purpose of this request is to gather information that holds public interest and disseminate it to the public. It emphasizes that only existing records are sought and does not require creating new documents.
In case any part of this request is denied or withheld, Prairie State Wire has asked for a detailed explanation citing the statutory basis for such denial while releasing all reasonably segregable portions of the records. Additionally, given their role in gathering news for public dissemination, they have requested a fee waiver as members of the media.
Prairie State Wire operates under The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government agencies through FOIA requests. More information about their work can be found at this link.
