Quotes
Officials only, in order.
Seeing none, um, before we vote, I just want to take a few moments to speak on this appointment. Uh, our last Inspector General transition left us without a permanent Inspector General for over 6 months, which in my opinion is much too long to have such a critical position vacant.Matthew J. Martin · Chair · Ward 471:17:29
HR, Board of Ethics, on any violation like this, send it to the OIG. HR and ethics have repeatedly failed to take on that task. So what would be the difference here if somebody engaged in that same exact political work or prohibited political work or activity under this entity.Scott Waguespack · Ward 322:24:35

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
