A request under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law was sent to Beaver County on October 7, 2024. We at Beaver County News, a media organization dedicated to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, requested records pertaining to the county's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) logs.
The specific records requested span from January 1, 2024, through October 7, 2024. The information sought includes 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 each FOIA request.
As journalists committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we believe that access to these public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We also requested a fee waiver as media professionals engaged in disseminating information to the public.
We are awaiting a response from Beaver County regarding this request.
