FOIA Request to Dekalb County Regarding Vendor Payments from January to September 2024.
On September 26, 2024, we at DeKalb Times sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Dekalb County. Our aim was to obtain records detailing all payments made to vendors within the period from January 1, 2024, through September 26, 2024.
The requested information includes specific fields such as the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount paid. This data is essential for our comprehensive coverage of local governmental affairs and helps us ensure transparency in public institutions.
As a media organization committed to accurate news reporting and holding public institutions accountable, we believe access to these public records is crucial in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We also requested a fee waiver for this information due to our role as a media organization disseminating important information to the public.
We are awaiting a response from Dekalb County and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
