A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Dekalb County, Illinois, seeking detailed information about vendor payments made throughout most of the year 2024. The request was submitted on September 26, 2024.
The FOIA request was issued by us at DeKalb Times, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. We are requesting a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, through September 26, 2024.
Specifically, we have asked for the following details for each transaction: Vendor Name, Transaction Date, Transaction Description, and Amount. These details will provide a clear picture of the county's expenditure during this period.
As a media organization dedicated to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we believe that access to these records is crucial for our work. We are hopeful that our request will be granted promptly and without fees as it aligns with our mission of providing vital information to the public.
