A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Bayfield County on October 7, 2024, by The Sconi, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The request specifically asked for access to the county's FOIA logs from January 1, 2024, through October 7, 2024. The desired records include information such as the requester's name and organization, the content of the request, the date of the request and its completion date, and the status of the FOIA.
As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we at The Sconi believe that access to these public records is crucial for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We are currently seeking a fee waiver as a media professional in light of our role in disseminating information to the public.
We await a response from Bayfield County regarding this matter.
