FOIA Request to Dekalb County Regarding Vendor Payments from January to September 2024.
In our continuous effort to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at DeKalb Times have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Dekalb County. The request, sent on September 26, 2024, seeks a list of all payments made to vendors from the start of the year until the date of the request.
The specific details requested include the name of each vendor, the date of each transaction, a description of each transaction, and the amount paid in each transaction. This information is crucial for us to maintain transparency and hold public institutions accountable.
As members of the media committed to gathering and reporting news to the public, access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe that our role in disseminating information makes us eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We will continue keeping you updated as we await a response from Dekalb County.
