This kindle can't load socrata right, but that timeframe makes sense. After the initial request for the mayor's records directly, I did another to the FOIA officer to see if it was just the mayor without records.
I actually got the records by a request to their IT Dept for the mayor's office's VoIP logs. They ended up getting me info from the phone's billing system, but redacted. It took six months or so of waiting for AG to agree with my arguments to unredact the records.
Chicago's lawyer then swooped in and called a technical foul... since they don't use VoIP, so the request was invalidated.
A nearly identical request later (without "VoIP") and they sent me the exact same PDF as before along with a claim of unduly burdensome to discover if the numbers were releasable or not. So then we sued.
