Sunshine Blogging: Second Attempt
24Mar2008 Filed under: Chicago, Policy, Politics Author: Mike Van Winkle
I am taking part in the Sunshine Blogger project. Last week I called the Gov’s office to find out who the freedom of information contact is. They couldn’t tell me. I was connected to the press office, but they couldn’t tell me either. This is pretty frightening because it would seem to indicate that the Illinois media rarely file FOIAs.
At any rate, I finally received help from a nice woman named Summer who has promised to make sure my FOIA request gets to the right person. You can read my request here.
Stay tuned. I’ll be posting regular updates.

The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
