FOIA Request to Dekalb County Regarding Vendor Payments from January to September 2024.
On September 26, 2024, we at DeKalb Times sent a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140) to Dekalb County. Our request was for a comprehensive list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, until September 26, 2024.
The information requested includes specific fields such as the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount paid. This data is crucial in our ongoing efforts to provide accurate and comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs.
As an organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we believe access to such records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We are confident that this information will significantly contribute towards ensuring the public stays informed about how their tax dollars are being spent.
We have also requested a fee waiver given our role as a media organization disseminating vital information to the public. We await a positive response from Dekalb County as we continue with our mission of providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
