Quotes
Officials only, in order.
The significant disturbance is why I co-sponsored Supervisor Wong’s hearing to hold PG&E accountable. Thank you, Supervisor Wong, for your leadership. However, the situation on our streets during the outage was exacerbated by the large fleet of Waymo autonomous vehicles, which struggled to navigate the dark and uncontrolled streets.Bilal Mahmood · Supervisor · District 51:42:41

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
