A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Dekalb County, Illinois, on September 26, 2024. The request, filed by us at DeKalb Times, seeks detailed information about all payments made to vendors within the county from January 1st through September 26th of the same year.
The specific details requested include the name of each vendor, the date of each transaction, a description of what each transaction entailed, and the amount paid for each transaction. This comprehensive list will allow us to analyze and report on the county's financial dealings with various vendors throughout most of 2024.
As members of the media organization DeKalb Times, we believe in providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities, which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
We are hopeful that our request will be granted without fees due to our role as a media outlet disseminating important information to the public. We remain committed to serving our community by shedding light on local government operations and spending.
