A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Dekalb County, Illinois, by DeKalb Times on September 26, 2024. The request pertains to the county's vendor payments for the year.
As a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at DeKalb Times have requested specific records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. We are seeking a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, until September 26, 2024.
The requested information includes details such as the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and amount. This data is essential for us in our mission to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public.
Given our role in disseminating information and promoting transparency in government operations, we believe that we qualify for a fee waiver as a media professional under the provisions of the FOIA.
We await a response from Dekalb County and will continue to pursue this matter diligently in our ongoing commitment to provide our readers with accurate and relevant information about their local government's activities.
