Council Books turns public records into plain language so residents can ask better questions.

Everything here comes from public documents, linked on every page. It is not the full picture: public records leave a lot out, and we can make mistakes. A question on this site is not an accusation. Most unusual numbers have ordinary explanations, and each question lists some. If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it.

Council Books is free, independent and paid for by readers. Support this work.
