Quotes

Officials only, in order.

I was curious how the retail bans apply to feeder animals. I hate that term, but Um, can we like make it not like, can feeder animals also be included in that, or is that a separate issue?Mikaila Garfinkel · Commissioner · Seat 338:32

How we count

Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 99 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
