Quotes
Officials only, in order.
Because what we spent on making other people rich, we could have made it accessible to our communities and kept some of that money for ourselves. And so we’re talking about cost savings. How we save money that does not hurt our community, because we know what we gonna do.Jeanette B. Taylor · Ward 2040:17
…if the tenant fails to pay rent after that, what’s the recourse for the landlord?Marty Quinn · Ward 1352:10

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
