A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Manitowoc County in Wisconsin on September 26, 2024. The request, made by EC Wisconsin News, sought detailed information about the county's vendor payments.
EC Wisconsin News requested a list of all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, through September 26, 2024. The desired details included the name of the vendor, the date of the transaction, a description of the transaction, and the amount paid.
As a media organization dedicated to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at EC Wisconsin News believe access to such public records is essential for our work. It allows us to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public.
Given our role in disseminating information to the public and holding institutions accountable, we also requested a fee waiver as part of this FOIA request. We look forward to receiving this information so that we can continue providing accurate and transparent reporting on local government activities.
