Calumet City officials say a Daily Southtown reporter interfered with local employees by seeking comment on major flooding issues in the area.
Calumet City officials have issued municipal citations to a Daily Southtown reporter who they allege violated local ordinances by seeking comment from public employees on major flooding issues in the area. Several notices sent to reporter Hank Sanders describe the alleged violations as “interference/hampering of city employees.” The Southtown, which is owned by the Chicago Tribune’s parent company, published a story online Oct. 19 and in print Oct.
“Hank Sanders FOIA request had been filled and city attorneys requested that he stop contacting City Hall.” The notice involving Thomas uses similar language: “Since September 17, 2023 Hank Sanders has called the Calumet City Department of Public Works several times reference the recent flooding. Hank Sanders FOIA request had been filled and city attorneys requested that he stop contacting public works.” Jones did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
