Field notes
The guide treats meeting schedules as standing rules rather than date lists, and points readers toward government video, agendas, minutes, and public-comment information. Its scope includes two state legislative chambers, seven county legislatures, eight city councils, and seven school boards; it also explains how the April 1 state budget deadline affects local budgets and notes that school budget voting does not happen on the same day everywhere.
