A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Waukesha County, Wisconsin on October 7, 2024. The request was made by The Sconi, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.

We at The Sconi requested access to the county's FOIA logs from January 1, 2024, through October 7, 2024. Specifically, we asked for the following fields in the logs:

- Requester Name

- Requester Organization

- Request Content

- FOIA Status

As a media organization, our mission is to gather and report news to the public. Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities, which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.

Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional. We await a response from Waukesha County regarding this important request.
