A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City Of Plano Finance Department regarding sales tax collected from retailers on October 25, 2024. The request was made by Kendall County Times, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The specific information requested includes records of sales tax collected from retailers from January 1, 2024, till the present date. This should be broken down into several fields such as the amount of sales tax collected each month versus what was projected, the number of active retail locations paying sales tax each month, and the names of each retailer along with their gross retail sales reported for each month.
As part of our commitment to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, we at Kendall County Times believe that access to these public records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We also stated our eligibility for a fee waiver as a media professional due to our role in disseminating information.
We await a response from the City Of Plano Finance Department and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
