Las Cruces Council Meeting - September 15th, 2025
The city’s minutes for this meeting were compared, sentence by sentence, against the transcript of the recording. Of 28 statements the minutes attribute to a named person, 28 were found in the recording.

~3120 words of the recording have no counterpart in the minutes
