Closing A Back Door In Illinois FOIA
Should public bodies in Illinois, like cities and school districts
and sheriff’s departments, be allowed to hide information from Freedom
of Information requests by keeping them in databases? That question is
before the 104th Illinois General Assembly, thanks to a bill sponsored
by Donald P. DeWitte, elected state senator by the wise citizens of
Batavia and Elgin (motto: “The City In The Suburbs”; indeed), and
prompted in part by my friend Matt Chapman.
