This is a statement that I read aloud at Council on Monday, July 18, 2022 announcing

I’m here to announce a new community project to provide more accessible information about the actions of council. It’s available now at a2council.vote. Many recognize that Legistar is difficult to navigate, and it’s impossible to see a summary of the votes that took place at a council meeting. In fact, Councilmember Nelson has been providing summary information and voting charts for some time, but I think there are two problems with a sitting Councilmember being the provider of this service. First: being a Councilmember is not a permanent position, and at some point Councilmember Nelson will no longer be on council. This sort of service should outlive the term of any single councilmember. Second: even though the voting charts and reproduced agendas are factual, they serve as a funnel into the rest of her website, which is filled with propaganda, misinformation, and outright lies.
