FOIA Request to Dekalb County Regarding Vendor Payments in 2024 on September 26, 2024. As a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at DeKalb Times have submitted a request for public records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
Our request specifically pertains to a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, until September 26, 2024. The information we seek includes the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount paid.
As members of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We will continue to keep you updated on any developments regarding this request.
