FOIA Request to Illinois Department of Human Services Regarding State Agency Contracts with Vendors on March 24, 2025.
As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability in government, Chicago City Wire has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Illinois Department of Human Services. We are seeking documentation and details concerning the fulfillment of contractual obligations for all contracts executed or modified between this state agency and their vendors during January of the 2023 fiscal year.
The requested records include verification of the scope of work performed, deliverables completed, and any reports or evaluations related to these contracts. This information is crucial for us as members of the media, as it allows us to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public.
We have also requested a fee waiver for this information, given our role in disseminating news and information. Our affiliation with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy further underscores our dedication to investigating state and federal governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. This initiative aims to inform the American electorate by shedding light on government actions.
