Q&A: It's log, log, log

Q.  Is it possible to submit a FOIA request for all FOIA that were submitted for the year 2015 to a local body of government [in Illinois]?  

A.  Not only is it possible, I've seen it done.  Note that various smaller-sized agencies in Illinois proactively publish their FOIA logs, e.g., Lake Bluff Elementary School District, City of Monticello.
