Tip on another possible FOIA lawsuit headed towards Clark County Park District –

Clark Co., IL. (ECWd) –

We have received a tip from someone in another part of the state that Charity Murphy has failed to respond to a Freedom Of Information Act request.

They are wanting to file a lawsuit to force disclosure of whatever financial information they had requested.

I am finding it very difficult to say anything other than “sue them” since I know FOIA violations are running rampant within Charity Murphy’s office – and have been for some time.

The problem is that the taxpayers end up footing the bill for the Park District Director’s failure to do her statutorily mandated and non-discretionary duty – and the majority of the board are too spineless to do anything about it (they know who they are).

“The FOIA”

On Thursday, June 04, 2015 @ 3:06 PM, someone sent a FOIA request to Charity Murphy at her Park District’s email address.

Since June 4 was a business day and it was received prior to the close of business, June 5 is day one of the five business day time frame to respond.

Today is June 16 – eight days after the request was sent and received.

Charity Murphy has once again placed the Park District in jeopardy of another lawsuit due to her own (in)actions.

I will publish the original FOIA request after I receive permission from the sender that it is OK to publish – or when I get my own copy thru FOIA.
