A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Dekalb County, Illinois, regarding vendor payments on September 26, 2024. The request came from DeKalb Times, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
We at DeKalb Times are seeking access to public records that detail all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, until September 26, 2024. Specifically, we have requested the following fields: Vendor Name, Transaction Date, Transaction Description, and Amount.
As members of the media dedicated to gathering and reporting news to the public, access to these 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 eagerly await a response from Dekalb County officials and will continue our efforts in promoting transparency in local government operations.
