FOIA Request to Cumberland County Regarding Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Logs from January to October 2024 on October 7, 2024.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Keystone Today have formally requested records under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law. Specifically, we are seeking a list of FOIA logs sent to Cumberland County from January 1, 2024, until October 7, 2024.
The requested information includes the following fields: requester name, requester organization, request content, request date, request complete date, and FOIA status. This data is essential for us in our role as journalists and media professionals. Access to public records allows us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
We believe that given our role in disseminating information to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional. We await a response from Cumberland County and will continue our efforts in promoting transparency in local government affairs.
