Quotes
Officials only, in order.
Doing nothing in a housing crisis is not an option. Jackson Heights and Elmhurst and across Queens, we have seen rents rising to historic highs while while wages for working families have remained stagnant, forcing too many longtime residents to the brink of displacement.Shekar Krishnan · Council member · District 2527:34rec. 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
