A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town of Garfield, Wisconsin, on November 7, 2024. The request was made by WC Wisconsin News, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The FOIA request sought a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. This information is vital for us at WC Wisconsin News as we continue our mission to provide transparency and hold public institutions accountable.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to public records is crucial for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional.
We look forward to the Town of Garfield's cooperation in this matter and will continue our work in ensuring that the public remains informed about important local governmental affairs.
