How FOIPub works
Start with official sources
Government meeting pages, packets, resolutions, minutes, recordings and records come first.
Make the record usable
Votes, spending, deadlines, public concerns and unresolved questions are made easy to scan.
Let readers verify it
FOIPub points back to the underlying public record instead of asking readers to trust a black box.
Why FOIPub exists
Transparency protects accountability and local character.
Major changes to a community deserve clear records, open debate and an honest accounting of tradeoffs. FOIPub follows documented influence and public decisions regardless of party, ideology or source.
