On Jan. 22, the Daily Chronicle submitted a request to the city, under the Freedom of Information Act, for records pertaining to applicants to the 3rd Ward vacancy, any correspondence between Mayor Kris Povlsen and sitting aldermen, and the appointment of Pam Verbic to the office. Under a new law, the denial must be pre-approved by the state’s Public Access Counselor, a position in the Illinois Attorney General’s office.
Public Access Counselor Smith said the attorney general’s office has asked the city for more information. She did not immediately know Monday what additional information was needed, but said a letter had been mailed Monday to the city and the Daily Chronicle. The city then has seven days to get that information to her office, Smith said.
