Edgar County, IL. (ECWd) –
FOIA Officer stipend for Edgar County Emergency Telephone System Board: $1500
Number of FOIA complaints resolved in her favor: Practically NONE
ETSB, please demand your money back, it isn’t working.
The ETSB Coordinator failed to justify withholding public records again…not that there was any realistic justification to begin with.
A FOIA request was submitted for radio/telephone traffic of an incident involving a Sherriff’s Department employee, and the request was denied.
The AG’s Public Access Counselor had to issue two separate violation letters to the same FOIA request.
On February 9, 2017, the PAC issued a violation letter to the ETSB and asked them to provide the records. Instead of complying, they denied it again for other reasons.
She tried saying it involved an ongoing case, and that excuse failed. Several other excuses were tried, they all failed.
This most recent violation letter explains how the new reasons for denial fall short of the law, and once again the PAC asked Nanette Crippes, ETSB Coordinator, to provide the records requested back in September of 2016.

Posted at 17:40h, 20 AprilAre ETSB’s standalone entities, not subsidiaries of counties?
Are ETSB financial statements located on a website available to the public…or does one have to submit a FOIA request for ETSB financial statements?
