Quotes
Officials only, in order.
I would take that as a yes. For homebound and mobility-limited older adults who cannot realistically participate in online programming, even with training, due to cognitive issues, sensory loss, or poverty, what non-digital alternatives is NYC Aging investing in so they’re not left further behind as more services move online?Crystal Hudson · District 3555:14rec. 2

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
