A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Cass County, Michigan on September 26, 2024. The request was made by Great Lakes Wire, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The FOIA request seeks access to a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, until the date of the request. The specific fields requested include the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount paid.
As representatives of Great Lakes Wire, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We are hopeful that our status as a media organization will qualify us for a fee waiver for this request.
We await a response from Cass County and will continue our mission of providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs.
