Quotes

Officials only, in order.

You know, I’m sorry if my question is a little bit too much of a hypothetical, but I also wanted to tie it similar to what we just heard in the last report. Uh, do we think that if ICE would have never shown up and, you know, invaded our community, that ridership would have grown?Imelda Padilla · Vice chair · District 639:37

How we count

Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 98 of 100 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
