I was there when ICE agents ran into the Swaporama.”Anthony Driver Jr.Commissioner · Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability · Jan 29, 2026 · 1:58:26“I guess the, the over— I didn’t need to like— I understand you can’t get too in the weeds and like give me an exact number, but, um, the $200 million cap for next year is really not impacting the overtime budget because this year you’re already going to more than likely come in under $200 million anyway.”Anthony Driver Jr.Commissioner · Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability · Oct 30, 2025 · 1:08:20

How we identify who is speaking · blind check, pooled across five cities: of 340 commission lines drawn, 260 right, 4 wrong, 1 unclear, 75 couldn’t be judged

A meeting missing here means we couldn’t attribute the voice, not that Driver was absent. Claude and Gemini each read every transcript with that day’s roster. A voice gets Anthony Driver Jr.’s name only when both agree and a code check finds the name said on, or just before, their turn. Voices our transcripts merge with someone else’s are never attributed, so every count here undercounts what Driver said. For commissions, of 340 lines drawn, 260 were right, 4 wrong and 1 unclear, and the checkers couldn’t judge 75. We have since removed the voices behind 64 of those lines (3 wrong, 0 unclear, the rest we had already held for other reasons). Of the 276 lines we still publish, the checkers could judge 228: 226 right, 1 wrong and 1 unclear (90% lower bound 0.97). They couldn’t judge the other 48. The check is one sample pooled across the five cities, not of Driver or of Chicago alone.
