Something I've noticed over the past couple of years is that @champaigncity's data is almost impossible to get in a digestible format (seems bad!). So I built this City Council Tracker so that people can see what's going on in near-real-time: citycouncil.champaignshowers…
Champaign Council Tracker

Champaign Council Tracker

Every Champaign City Council vote since 2002, how each member voted, and the bill behind it.
