How to read this page. Counts come from my mailbox and the original emails, as of October 17, 2026. A read receipt shows that a mailbox opened an email; it does not show who read it or how much. A message sent from the City’s records portal shows the account it came from, not who typed it. Labels in bold are my characterization of the dated facts printed beside them. This page makes no claim about anyone’s motive and no legal finding.
