Lake County's commission, its school board, and the councils of more than a dozen cities and towns meet hundreds of times a year. The Ledger is being built to read every agenda and tell you what actually happened.
We are not launched yet. We are reading agendas, building the records pipeline, and listening. When we publish, the first thing you will get is a morning briefing of what your local government actually did the day before — free, in your inbox.

What we commit to
- We label our AI. Every article discloses how it was produced. No exceptions, no fine print.
- A named human is accountable. An editor of record is responsible for what runs here, and their name is on the masthead.
- We publish our corrections prominently. We would rather be corrected in public than trusted by accident.
- Public records, not press releases. Agendas, budgets, dockets, and votes — sourced and linked.
