A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Dekalb County on September 26, 2024. The request, issued by DeKalb Times, a media organization committed to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, sought specific details about county vendor payments.
The requested information includes a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, through September 26, 2024. Specifically, the DeKalb Times is seeking the following fields for each transaction: Vendor Name, Transaction Date, Transaction Description, and Amount.
As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we at DeKalb Times believe that access to such records is crucial. It allows us not only to fulfill our professional responsibilities but also to provide the public with the information they need.
In line with this mission, we have requested a fee waiver for this information under our status as a media organization. We continue to work tirelessly in our role as information disseminators and remain dedicated to ensuring that public institutions are held accountable.
We await a response from Dekalb County and will keep our readers updated on any developments regarding this request.
