A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Dekalb County, Illinois, on September 26, 2024. The request was made by DeKalb Times, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The FOIA request specifically sought records of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, through September 26, 2024. The requested details include the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount paid.
As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we at DeKalb Times believe access to such public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We also believe that as media professionals involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
The purpose of this request is not only to gather information but also to ensure that public institutions remain accountable and transparent in their operations. We will continue our efforts in disseminating information that serves the interest of the public.
We await Dekalb County's response to our FOIA request and look forward to sharing this information with our readers once it becomes available.
