From the official minutes kept by the Brockton City Clerk (agendas and minutes). From the Brockton City Council’s official minutes, posted in the city’s Public Documents library. We check every roll-call count against the councilors named and quote the exact wording. MassVoter never grades or scores officials. MassVoter never grades officials; votes and attendance are shown exactly as the minutes record them. Councilor photos: City of Brockton City Council page (brockton.gov). Former councilors show initials.
