Ask about Rockland County government

The civic assistant draws from the same database that powers rockland.news — over 47,000 financial records, 8,200 campaign finance entries, and meeting documents from every town and the county legislature.

Ask it about budgets, spending, school districts, legislative votes, zoning decisions, or how local government processes work.

What this tool does well

Questions about budgets, per-pupil spending, legislative votes, campaign finance filings, meeting agendas, and zoning records across Rockland County. It will try to cite specific source documents.

What to know

The assistant draws from the rockland.news database, which is updated on a regular collection cycle but is not real-time. It covers fiscal years 2021–2026. Not all historical records have been digitized. For anything that matters, verify against the source documents — which it will try to point you to.

It is a tool, not an authority.
