A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Quincy on October 28, 2024, seeking details about unpaid parking violations. The request was made by us at Quincy Reporter, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The FOIA request specifically asked for a list of all parking violations currently unpaid in the city. The requested details include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, violation date, and total due.
As a news organization, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We also requested a fee waiver as part of this process due to our role as a media organization disseminating information to the public.
We will keep you updated with any further developments regarding this request.
