What is your town actually deciding?

We read the agendas, minutes, and documents from your local government's public meetings and turn them into plain-English summaries — each one linked back to the official record.

We track 120,044 meetings across 1428 US cities, counties and school districts — 5,810 upcoming — city council, boards, and commissions — with agendas in plain English. Every summary links back to the official record; here is exactly how. A sibling of The Boring Parts.

Recently buried decisions

Real actions local governments took in the last month — the kind of thing that rarely makes the news. Each links straight to the meeting record.
