FOIA Request to Auglaize County Regarding Vendor Payments from January 1, 2024, to September 26, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Lima Reporter have submitted a request for records under the Ohio Open Records Law, §149.43 et seq. The request was sent on September 26, 2024, and is aimed at obtaining a list of all payments made to vendors by Auglaize County within the specified period.
The requested information includes the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and amount for each payment made from January 1st to September 26th of this year. This data will help us in our mission to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public.
We believe that access to these public records is essential for us as media professionals. It allows us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include disseminating accurate information about local government activities and spending patterns. We have also requested a fee waiver as a media professional.
As always, we remain committed to providing our readers with comprehensive coverage of local governmental affairs. We will keep you updated on any developments regarding this request.
