Subjects worth watching
The arguments that arrive from somewhere else — cameras, immigration, data centers, what a school board pays its staff — as they actually reach an agenda here. Each one shows which government took it up first, who followed, and who has not touched it at all.
13 Oct 2025 to 13 Oct 2026. Counts are agenda items and meeting write-ups that mention the subject, not decisions taken. Each subject is a curated set of phrases matched against agenda text, so these counts sit beside the site's subject tags rather than replacing them.

A subject with nothing in it stays on the list. Nobody here having taken something up is an answer, and dropping the row would turn it into a missing feature instead.
