A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Sandusky County, Ohio, regarding vendor payments on September 26, 2024. The request was made by Vacationland Times, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
In the request, we sought records under the Ohio Open Records Law, §149.43 et seq., specifically asking for a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1st to September 26th, 2024. The desired information includes the vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and amount.
As a media organization committed to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, we believe access to these records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We have also requested a fee waiver as a media professional given our role in disseminating information.
We await the response from Sandusky County and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
