A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Crawford County on October 7, 2024. We at Keystone Today, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, have requested specific records under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law.
The records we are seeking include a list of FOIA logs that were sent to the county from January 1, 2024, until October 7, 2024. The specific fields we are interested in obtaining include the requester's name and organization, the content of the request, the date of the request and its completion date, as well as the status of the FOIA.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities 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 a media professional.
We will continue to follow up on this matter and provide updates as they become available.
