FOIA Request to Douglas County Regarding Vendor Payments in 2024 on September 26, 2024.
In our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Northwoods Reporter have submitted a request for records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., to Douglas County. The request specifically seeks information about all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, until September 26, 2024.
The requested details include the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount of each payment. This data is crucial for our investigative reporting as it helps us scrutinize the county's financial transactions with various vendors during this period.
As a media organization, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we have also requested a fee waiver as a media professional.
We await the county's response and will continue to keep our readers informed about developments on this matter.
