FOIA Request to Iosco County Regarding Vendor Payments in 2024 on September 26, 2024.
In our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Great Lakes Wire have sent a request under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act § 15.231 et seq. to Iosco County. The request, dated September 26, 2024, asks for a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024 till September 26, 2024.
The requested records should include the following fields: Vendor Name, Transaction Date, Transaction Description, and Amount. This information is essential for us as we continue our work in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
As members of the media engaged in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to such public records is vital for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe that given our role in disseminating information, we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We await a response from Iosco County and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
