FOIA Request to Dekalb County Regarding Vendor Payments from January to September 2024.
On September 26, 2024, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent by DeKalb Times to Dekalb County. The request was made for records of all payments made to vendors from the start of the year until the date of the request.
The specifics requested in the document include the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and amount for each payment. This information is vital for comprehensive coverage of local governmental affairs.
As a media organization committed to providing accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at DeKalb Times believe that access to public records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
Given our role in disseminating information, we have also asked for a fee waiver as a media professional.
We await a response from Dekalb County and will continue to keep our readers informed about local government activities and spending.
