FOIA Request to Hamilton County Regarding Public Records on October 7, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Cincy Reporter have sent a request for public records under the Ohio Open Records Law, §149.43 et seq., to Hamilton County.
The request was made for a list of FOIA logs that were sent to the county from January 1, 2024, until October 7, 2024. The fields requested include the requester's name and organization, the content of the request, the date of the request and its completion date, as well as the status of the FOIA.
We believe that access to these public records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we also stated our eligibility for a fee waiver as per standard practice.
We will continue our efforts in ensuring transparency in local government affairs and will update our readers with any information obtained from this request.
