As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at West Cook News have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Berwyn. This request seeks access to records detailing businesses registered with the city in the past week. Specifically, we are requesting information that includes the following fields: Business Name, Business Number, Business Type, Business Address, Issued Date, Status, and Registered Agent Name.

Access to these public records is crucial for us as members of the media. It enables us to fulfill our professional responsibilities by holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we qualify for a fee waiver as media professionals.

We are also affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting news media companies and public advocacy groups in investigating state and federal governmental agencies. Through leveraging Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws, we aim to shed light on government actions and inform the American electorate.
