FOIA Request to Dekalb County Regarding Vendor Payments on September 26, 2024.
In our ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at DeKalb Times have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140).
The request was specifically for a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, till September 26, 2024. The details requested include the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount paid.
As a media organization dedicated to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, access to such public records is essential for us. We believe that as members of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We await a positive response from Dekalb County and will continue our pursuit of truth and transparency in local government affairs.
