FOIA Request to Dekalb County Regarding Vendor Payments on September 26, 2024.
In our continuous efforts to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at DeKalb Times have requested records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. The request specifically seeks a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, until September 26, 2024.
The requested details include the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount of each payment. We believe that these records will help us in our mission to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public.
As a media organization committed to gathering and reporting news to the public, access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We have also requested a fee waiver as a media professional due to our role in disseminating information.
We are eagerly awaiting Dekalb County's response and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
