My uncle in Tucson swore the local news buried the real story on that water rate hike, and he was right
He showed me the 11 page city budget doc from 6 months ago where the hike was already planned, so now I want to know what other local stories are hiding in plain sight like that?

I did the same thing with a park closure in my town last year. Pulled the county meeting minutes from four months back and the decision was already made, they just waited to announce it. What helped me was going straight to the source docs instead of waiting on the news, so now I check the city council agendas and planning commission packets every couple weeks. Takes like 20 minutes and you catch stuff way before it hits the paper. Budgets and meeting notes are public, and the real story is usually sitting right there in the fine print.
