What they said they'd do
Every promise in the press releases of the Mayor's Office, the County Judge's Office and the four county commissioners, and in the State of the City and the county's strategic plan, copied word for word: a named official saying they will do a specific thing. Under each one, the votes, agenda items and fact sheets since then that deal with the same thing. The site doesn't grade them; the record is next to the words.
