What this count cannot see

Fourteen tagged items region-wide in a year. This is a small count, and most of what exists is one county's.

This subject overlaps the immigration topic, which is tagged on every item rather than matched on phrases. That count is the wider one.

Who took it up, and when

Each government's first appearance in the window, in order. The bar is where in the window it landed, so a subject that swept the region in one season and one that trickled across two years read differently at a glance.

First appearance by government, 13 Oct 2025 to 13 Oct 2026

Month by month

Items mentioning this subject per month across the window.

Which words did the matching

A subject carried entirely by one phrase is a different finding from one carried by six. These are the words the documents themselves used.

Governments with nothing on this

No item or write-up in this window mentions the subject in City of Raleigh, City of Sanford, Town of Fuquay-Varina, Town of Garner, Town of Hillsborough, Town of Holly Springs, Town of Knightdale, Town of Morrisville, Town of Wake Forest, and Wake County Public School System. That is not proof nothing happened there. Two school boards and several towns publish agendas no program can read, and a subject can be discussed at length without a word of it reaching a printed agenda.

Public comment is only known where a meeting's captions have been read, which is a small share of them. "Not read" means unknown, not zero.
