Quotes
Officials only, in order.
I would just— my commentary is that reports going forward need to include that level of detail. I don’t want just narrative. It needs to be spelled out. There’s a lot of just skepticism, obviously, clearly with what happened with Measure E, with that we’re spending the money, right, that we’re even spending down these parcel taxes.Charlene Wang · Chairperson · District 23:19:24

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
