Las Cruces Council Meeting - March 18, 2024

The city’s minutes for this meeting were compared, sentence by sentence, against the transcript of the recording. Of 68 statements the minutes attribute to a named person, 68 were found in the recording.

Tracks the recording closely. The comparison is mechanical and has no opinion about why two documents differ. A gap can be honest summarising; a mismatch can be the caption software mishearing. Both texts are shown so you can decide, and the correction form at the bottom is there for when the machine is wrong.

Bencomo: a negation on the recording is missing from the minutes (“don't”)

Says something different

Both records carry the same sentence, but they disagree on a number or on whether it was negative. The same sentence appears in both records, but the recording contains “don't” where the minutes have nothing — which reverses its sense. Around: “is industrial we are talking big warehouses people will still work there”.

Caption spellings of names are unreliable, so confirm against the recording before relying on this.
