A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town of Eaton, Wisconsin, on November 7, 2024. The request was made by Green Bay Reporter, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The request specifically asked for a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. This information is vital for our news reporting as it provides transparency about voter registration processes and patterns in the region.
As a media organization, we are committed to holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the public. We believe that access to such public records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities.
Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we have requested a fee waiver as a media professional under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq.
We at Green Bay Reporter will continue our efforts in gathering and reporting news that matters most to our readers. Please stay tuned for updates regarding this FOIA request and other important local governmental affairs.
