Field notes
The homepage lays out a document-led editorial rule: a hearing without a vote and a press release without an underlying document do not qualify as stories. Its visible docket lists five state-level events for Nov. 9–14, 2026, while a six-state FY2026 table compares general-fund totals, Medicaid share, and percentage-point change. The table notes that shares include federal matching funds, exclude local contributions, and are rounded; it warns that the change column indicates direction, not cause.
