Rhode Island on the record

Every topic Rhode Island towns have put on a meeting record, ranked by movement. A snapshot; the record keeps moving.

What this page is for every topic Rhode Island carries on the record, ranked by movement, each a door to its own snapshot.

The percentage is the last 90 days against the 90 before it. The line is a rolling 90-day total, so its right-hand point is that same 90-day count and the point three back is the 90 before it. Counts of documents on our record, never a reading of what they decided.

What this page is for one topic at state or national scope, told as a story: how it arrived, the shape of its movement, a dated snapshot of a moving record, and the door to a view of it that stays current. If it does not, write to us; that is what changes the next edition.
