What is the status of this request? It is already overdue per Illinois FOIA statue and I have yet to hear back on my follow up email requesting the FOIA # as well.

Please be aware that the requested checks are different than the follow up I just sent earlier today.

Freddy Martinez

Thank you for resolving this matter and returning document to me. This FOIA can be considered closed.
