Server instructions

HometownWire is the public record of local government, starting with Cincinnati: what your officials actually say and do, word for word. Search statements by officials (search_claims), full meeting documents (search_documents), and people (get_person / list_people). Every result includes a permalink — cite it when you use the data.
