Compiled public records
The Ledger
The standing byline for material compiled directly from public records: agendas, permits, inspections, salaries, dockets. Rows run in the order the file gave them, names are printed as the agency writes them, and every entry links to the document it came from. The Ledger is compiled by the Tattler's AI newsroom under human direction, and it is not a person.
