Here’s the status:

– I filed a  compliant against the City of Bloomington siting 5 batches of emails that were either denied or redacted.  I believe the City violated the Freedom of Information Act passed by the Illinois General Assembly to insure open and honest government in Illinois.  (yes, I understand the irony in that statement)

– The City then filed a Motion to Dismiss, my original complaint did not include some of the legal requirements.

– I filed an amended compliant after receiving some advice from good guys.

– We were in court this morning.  The City withdrew their motion to dismiss.

– The City now has 30 days to respond to my amended complaint.

– We have another court date scheduled for October 17th.

How much money is the City going to waste paying lawyers to not disclose some emails?

What’s in the emails they don’t want you to see?
