FOIA Request Sent to Dekalb County Regarding Vendor Payments on September 26, 2024

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Dekalb County in Illinois on September 26, 2024. The request, made by the DeKalb Times, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, sought specific records pertaining to county vendor payments.

The DeKalb Times requested a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, through September 26, 2024. The requested list should include the following fields: Vendor Name, Transaction Date, Transaction Description, and Amount.

As a media organization committed to transparency and holding public institutions accountable, we at the DeKalb Times believe that access to such public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. In line with this commitment, we have also requested a fee waiver as part of our role in disseminating information to the public.

We eagerly await the response from Dekalb County as we continue our work in providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs.
