The story so far
The record starts in Maine, 16 November 2023. Since then 1 municipalities in 1 states have put the topic on a meeting record, at very different speeds: Maine hold 100% of the dated events between them.
It runs through the rooms where budgets and ordinances are made: Long Range Planning Advisory Committee.
A snapshot of a moving record
Everything above is frozen at 31 August 2026; the topic is not. The counts follow where we read most: a town or a state absent here was not read at depth, and absence is not evidence the topic is absent there. A lighter-read state is not a ceiling; where you care about a region, pointing the system there is the first thing an account changes.

How we can tell you about it ongoing
We track this topic continuously; this page is one cut of it, taken 31 August 2026. An account turns the snapshot into a working view: every town and every document behind these counts, the thread on each matter as it develops, word of new meetings as they land on the record, your own states and topics side by side, and the data itself when you want it in a table. The towns above are the taste; what each is actually deciding, funding or stalling is the read an account carries.
