A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to Grant County, Wisconsin on September 26, 2024. The request was made by SW Wisconsin News, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The records requested under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., were for a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, until September 26, 2024. The requested information includes specific fields such as the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and the amount paid.
As a media organization committed to transparency and holding public institutions accountable, we at SW Wisconsin News believe access to these public records is crucial in fulfilling our professional responsibilities.
We have requested these records preferably in an electronic format for ease of access and dissemination. We have also asked for a fee waiver given our role as a media professional in gathering and reporting news to the public.
We will continue to keep the public informed as we await a response from Grant County regarding this request.
