FOIA Request to Dekalb County Regarding Vendor Payments on September 26, 2024. As a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at DeKalb Times have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.
The request specifically asks for a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, until September 26, 2024. The requested details include the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount paid.
As journalists dedicated to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We await a response from Dekalb County regarding this request and will continue to strive towards keeping our readers informed about local government affairs.
