A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Clermont County, Ohio, on September 26, 2024. The request pertains to the county's vendor payments made from January 1, 2024, until the date of the request.
As a part of our commitment to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs at Clermont Times, we sought records under the Ohio Open Records Law, §149.43 et seq. Specifically, we requested a list of all payments made to vendors during the specified period.
The details requested in the list include Vendor Name, Transaction Date, Transaction Description, and Amount. We believe that access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
Given our role in disseminating information as a media organization, we have also requested a fee waiver for this FOIA request. As always, we remain dedicated to serving our readers with up-to-date and factual information about local government activities.
We await a response from Clermont County officials regarding this request and will keep our readers informed about any developments.
