FOIA Request to Dekalb County Regarding Vendor Payments on September 26, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability in local government, we at DeKalb Times have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Dekalb County. The request was sent on September 26, 2024.
The information sought includes a comprehensive list of all payments made to vendors by the county from January 1, 2024, through September 26, 2024. Specifically, we are interested in obtaining the following details for each transaction: the name of the vendor, the date of the transaction, a description of the transaction, and the amount paid.
Our aim is to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as per Illinois Freedom of Information Act guidelines.
We will continue to keep our readers updated as we receive more information.
