Why Local Newsfeeds Matter
City Hall decisions change taxes, zoning, and safety faster than newspapers can print.
Every week, councils approve multi-million dollar projects, housing reforms, or new police equipment — usually buried inside PDFs no one reads.
Our feed ingests the raw minutes, classifies the issues, attaches the price tags, and summarizes the impact so anyone can skim what changed in under two minutes.
