FOIA Request to Town of Bunn regarding vendor payment registers on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by North Triangle News to the Town of Bunn, North Carolina, seeking access to specific public records. The request was made under the North Carolina Public Records Law, G.S. ยง132-1., and aims to obtain the town’s vendor payment register for the preceding calendar month.
The requested records include detailed information about transactions made by the city with its vendors. Specifically, North Triangle News is seeking data that includes the names of vendors paid by the city, dates and amounts of payments, and descriptions of goods or services purchased. The request emphasizes that it pertains only to existing records and does not require the creation of new documents.
North Triangle News has indicated a preference for receiving these records in electronic format if available. Furthermore, they have requested that if any part of their request is denied or withheld, the Town of Bunn should provide a specific statutory basis for such denial while releasing all reasonably segregable portions of the records.
In line with their role as a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in government affairs, North Triangle News has also requested a fee waiver for this FOIA request. They argue that access to public records is crucial for fulfilling their professional responsibilities and informing the public effectively.
