Tom, thank you for the exposé on the exceptionally poor representation residents receive from our city's legal team. This lack of transparency is also evident in the significant number of denials and redactions in FOIA responses, which result in a complete absence of transparency in the process.

If the Mayor's policy advisor was aware of the attempt to remove T1 districts for the City/NU committee, it would mean knowingly supporting the disenfranchisement of all residents near the T1 parking lot and U2 district.
Another serious breakdown in process between the City, Northwestern, Council members, and residents is that some Council members were completely excluded from negotiations on the Ryan Field project. Clare Kelly sent emails to the City Manager and Mayor asking where the meeting was taking place so she could attend negotiations, and she was ghosted the entire weekend by city staff.
Reid is completely ignoring a PAC determination in my favor. His non-response is effectively daring me to sue him. The city has no interest in transparency or following the attorney general’s FOIA rulings. Looking forward to your story.
It just seems like total chaos. Sometimes I get way more than I ask for, even beyond what's allowed with missed redactions and then I've seen other cases where people get rejected for total bs reasons.
most of mine are redacted or contain information from a time line or people which were not in the requested timeline. The response which is most disturbing is " no responsive documents" like this when you know the documents exist
Request 24-3896I am requesting " copies of resignations from the Evanston Ethics Board,
