A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to Dekalb County, Illinois, on September 26, 2024. The request was made by DeKalb Times, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.

The request specifically sought records of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, through September 26, 2024. The requested information includes the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount paid.

As members of the media at DeKalb Times, we are involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.

We believe that we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals given our role in disseminating information. We await a response from Dekalb County regarding this FOIA request.
