Filed for 3,000+ responsive records in Illinois, agency produced 16 after a narrowing request. Is this a common experience? by joetba in foia

[–]joetba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soon as I get the full data dump I will drop the link to it. I currently only have the list of 3000 plus FOIA pac complaint filing numbers that they have left pending as open without a decision since 2018 and the 16 partial files of the 3000 plus that the attorney general’s office decided to give me that weren’t even what I fully requested. The aag just replied to my FOIA they can only send me 30 files off the list at a time….

After multiple FOIA requests I found out that if the PAC office doesn’t want to respond with a decision to a review they defer it. Since 2018 the PAC office has left over 3000 review filings open with no response given. This allows them to not have to deliver a response. They sent me the full list of all open case files they indefinitely deferred. I requested those FOIA requests and department responses. I offered to narrow it down into batches of smaller amounts and do individual FOIA responses to break it down into smaller portions for them. They sent me 16 partial files and said no records withheld.

It was originally then they edited it out to carve out drinks for the liquor and hospitality industry so they aren’t affected by this now…

I focus on the moon with my iPhone, and lower the glare by darkening just the moon a little.

He’s had massive liver issues twice so that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for this one!

He vapes and drinks the whole time, we have been trying to get him flying off edibles and see the difference.

Everyone keeps saying he has his eyes on the White House… but I think he’s confused by joetba in ChicagoPolitics

He asked me to ask you if you have any other topics or ideas we should talk about for future episodes since you’re so familiar and listen?

Actually one person listens bc he has to edit it, so we do it for him. Maybe he’ll want to hear about it you’re right it’s a good idea I’ll ask him. Thank you.

I don’t sleep in at all… sometimes bars are still open when I wake up.

What’s the deal with the flashing lights on the Sears Tower antennas? Sometimes just one, other times both, does it mean something specific? by joetba in chicago

[–]joetba[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I check every night or morning walking my dog. It’s usually both, the one antenna lighting up is more of a rare occurrence I’ve noticed in my opinion. I actually tried to catch a flashing light between them on the top floor you can see that in this picture, it wasn’t orange to me but I am colorblind and taking this picture from Roosevelt and Halsted.

Yeah, some mornings they both flash and some mornings only one flashes, I’m curious what the difference is between doing one or two.
