A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to Dekalb County, Illinois on September 26, 2024. The request, sent by DeKalb Times, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, asked for records of all payments made to vendors from January 1st to September 26th, 2024.
The requested information includes the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount of each payment. The aim is to provide transparency and hold public institutions accountable for their financial transactions.
As members of the media at DeKalb Times, we believe that access to public records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We have requested these records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act and are hoping for a fee waiver due to our role as media professionals.
We will continue our work in gathering and reporting news to the public with the help of such vital information.
