A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Dekalb County on September 26, 2024. The request was made by us at DeKalb Times, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The FOIA request specifically asked for a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, until September 26, 2024. The desired fields in the requested records include the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount paid.
As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we believe access to these public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. It allows us to provide our readers with accurate information about how their tax dollars are being spent.
We have also requested a fee waiver for this information as part of our role as a media organization disseminating important information to the public. We will continue to keep you updated as we gather more information about this matter.
