FOIA Request to DuPage County regarding vendor payment registers on November 10, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to DuPage County by the DuPage Policy Journal, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs. The request, sent on November 10, 2025, seeks access to vendor payment registers maintained by the county for the period from January 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025. The requested records should include details such as the names of vendors paid by the county, dates and amounts of payments made, and descriptions of goods or services purchased.
The request specifies that only existing records are sought and no new documents need to be created. The requester has asked for these records in electronic format if available. As a member of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, the requester is seeking a fee waiver under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
The DuPage Policy Journal is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies using FOIA and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition can be found on their website.
