Quotes
Officials only, in order.
Either through the chair or directly, if you have ideas on what enforcement could look like, because if this is just about somebody’s willingness to comply, I don’t think that’s going to change much. And I’ve got concerns that depending on who the next Inspector General is, it may be even harder to get any level of compliance.Andre Vasquez, Jr. · Ward 4043:28

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 144 of 150 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
