THE TOMBSTONE PROJECT

Every concern raised in public gets a permanent stone — a standing record, so nothing quietly disappears.

A permanent public record of community issues raised before Rutherford County's governing bodies — Jul 17, 2025 to May 14, 2026

Public comments per meeting

September’s surge: speaking time was cut to fit everyone. June 11, 2026 minutes are not yet posted — first live update.

Recorded roll-call votes on tracked issues

Per-commissioner votes transcribed from the roll-call appendices of the official minutes (which label them “unofficial until approved by the full commission”). All roll-call lines below have been verified against the source scans (see the Sources file, Verification log, for full provenance of every meeting).

How each district voted

Pick a district to see how its commissioner voted on every tracked roll-call motion — the same verified record as above, by office. Issues are tracked, not people: no party is recorded, and nothing here is scored or graded.

Office accountability

The public record attached to each office — what it did, and what is before it — drawn only from cited minutes. This is the record, not a score: nothing here grades, ranks, or rates anyone; “—” or “none found” means no record was located, not a judgment.

Before the County Commission (the body this office serves on)

These issues are before the Commission as a body — this office is one of 21 votes and voices on them, not solely responsible.

Commitments on the record

Forward commitments this body made — deferrals to return, promises to report back — and whether the record shows them kept. Status only, drawn from cited minutes; no score, no judgment.
