The Village of South Jacksonville is being sued over a FOIA request.
The Jacksonville Journal Courier filed a lawsuit against the Village of South Jacksonville late Wednesday in Morgan County Circuit Court.
According to a report by the Journal Courier on the filing of their own suit, the complaint alleges the village denied requests for records under the Freedom of Information act pertaining to any possible police reports involving Village Mayor Tyson Manker or former Village Trustee Jason Hill.
According to the report, the request was made on June 4
th that included “any calls for police service or assistance to Village Hall [since] May 1st”.
