As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at SE Ohio Times have submitted a request for public records under the Ohio Open Records Law, §149.43 et seq.
The request was sent to Monroe County on October 7, 2024, seeking access to FOIA logs that were sent to the county from January 1, 2024 till October 7, 2024.
