Accountability Tracker

How do legislators vote? How transparent are public meetings? We track the patterns — not to assume the worst, but to document what the public record reveals about how decisions get made.

What we track

Legislative voting records and attendance
Meeting frequency, agendas, and minutes availability
Committee structure and decision-making patterns
FOIL request compliance by municipality

Key findings so far

33% of expected county legislature meetings have no public minutes
102 meetings analyzed across two years of legislative activity
