Source order
Official legislative, election, fiscal, and executive sources come first. Stakeholder and news sources are labeled and used only for the claims they directly support.

How The Tracker Works
Claim handling
Displayed facts must map to source IDs. If an update is ambiguous, the claim is marked needs review instead of confirmed.
Automation
Scheduled checks fetch watched sources, detect changed pages or PDFs, validate data, run proofreading checks, and generate an update report.
Ad valorem tax: A tax based on assessed property value.
Homestead exemption: A reduction in taxable value for qualifying primary residences.
Non-school property taxes: Local property taxes other than school district taxes.
Joint resolution: A legislative vehicle that can propose a constitutional amendment for voter consideration.
Special session: A limited legislative session called for specific topics.
What The Tracker Does Not Do
It does not advocate for or against proposals, estimate county impacts without sources, treat stakeholder material as official fiscal analysis, or present dead bills as active.
Correction Standard
Correction requests must include a source and identify the specific claim that should change. Official legislative, fiscal, and election sources are preferred.
