FOIA Request to Eaton County Regarding Vendor Payments from January 1, 2024, to September 26, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Capitol News have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Eaton County in Michigan. The request was sent on September 26, 2024.
Our request specifically seeks a list of all payments made to vendors by the county from January 1, 2024, through September 26, 2024. The requested information includes the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount paid.
As journalists committed to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency for the public, access to such records is essential for us. We believe that this information will help us fulfill our professional responsibilities more effectively.
We have also requested a fee waiver as media professionals engaged in disseminating information to the public.
We are awaiting a response from Eaton County and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
