概要

 🎙️ Small town politics hit different this week. The city of Lake Forest picked a beach vendor using a scoring sheet — and refuses to show anyone the numbers. Pete's been filing FOIA requests. They keep saying no. Meanwhile the Rec Board is gone, replaced by 3 aldermen, and nobody had a public meeting about it..⚖️ FOIA FIGHT — Pete filed for the Forest Park Beach concession vendor scorecard. The city denied it under §7(1)(f). Pete escalated to the Illinois Public Access Counselor. We're in a 60-day window. If it was above board, why are you hiding the score?.🏛️ THE REC BOARD IS GONE — Mayor Randy Tack dissolved it. Replaced by three aldermen headed by Alderman Powers meeting with staff behind closed doors. If the Rec Board still existed, this beach vendor decision would have been a public meeting.
