Field notes
The guide currently covers 19 bodies: five county commissions, seven city councils or alderman boards, six school boards, and the Springfield Board of Public Utilities. Its scope is deliberately limited to the southwest Missouri market, while acknowledging that most cities, school districts, special districts, and all Arkansas bodies remain outside the present coverage. A dated correction records Newton County's addition after an audit found it had been missed.
