 Commander McCotter:

This letter is being written in response to a denial of our first request to the  25th District via the Freedom of Information Act,  hereafter referred to as  FOIA, pertaining to the Rules¯ for CAPS.

Please consider this letter as a new request for information pertaining to two  entities, referred by all other districts that have indeed fulfilled our initial  request, called the District Advisory Council (or Committee) and the District  Steering Committee (or Council).

We hereby request the following via FOIA. As a matter of convenience, since you  might not know about FOIA, and the Corporate Council lawyer definitely seems to  be ignorant of the intent€¯ of the law, we are informing you that legally, you  have 7 days to reply.

 Timeframe:  1/1/99 - Last Statement received.

  1. A complete list of all banks and respective account numbers through which  the District Advisory Council (or Committee) or the District Steering Council  (or Committee) had funds transferred within the above timeframe.
  2. Names of any and all firms that have audited all accounts along with copies  of their reports. Please include both summary and detailed reports.
  3. Copies of all monthly statements for every aforementioned accounts/funds.
  4. Complete list of payees, with detailed information that includes check  numbers, date issued and amount disbursed.
  5. Complete list of revenue sources, be they fund, fund transfer from other  city accounts, donations, etc. - include reference account numbers, amount  transferred and from where - same for every revenue source.

The above should include information for every subcommittee as well.

Have a great day!

Sincerely,

Wayne A. Strnad

McCotter, like many administrators, fear giving out information  that might explain where the people's money goes.

We believe that if you want to track corruption, follow the trail  of money

Here are just a few examples where money trails disappear:

An area becomes TIFfed (Tax Incentive Financing).  The  theory is that it's an incentive for business in an area.  To  make up the difference in tax revenue, the surrounding area is  graciously given a higher tax.  The TIF money ends up in an  account were nothing can be looked at.

Another Example:  CAPs not only receives funding from  taxpayers but also from corporations.  How much? That  information is not readily available.
