Chicago - A message from the station manager

FOIA Reform Fading

By The Beachwood Freedom Affairs Desk

“The Illinois House voted on Tuesday to overturn Gov. Pat Quinn’s amendatory veto on a bill that originally kept private the performance evaluations of all public employees,” Illinois Statehouse News reports.
“In 2009, the General Assembly revamped Illinois’ Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to give the public greater access to government information.
“But in the last year, the General Assembly has taken steps to reduce the amount of information that is available.”
How they voted:
