Every vote in these minutes is a roll call with each member named; we check every count against the names and quote the exact wording. MassVoter never grades officials; votes and attendance are shown exactly as the minutes record them. Photos are newer, not from 2022–2023: Mayor Coogan from the City of Fall River (fallriverma.gov); Kevin Aguiar from the Fall River School Committee’s member page (fallriverschools.org); Paul Hart from the City of Fall River’s official member photo (fallriverma.gov); Sara Rodrigues from Fall River Reporter (June 2024 interview); Shelli Pereira from a Fall River Community Media candidate video (YouTube); Mimi Larrivee from People Incorporated (peopleincfr.org); Bobby Bailey from a Fall River Community Media video (YouTube).
