alderman legislation counts should only include non-routine bills #19

Closed cathydeng closed 1 year ago

or at least split out routine vs non-routine

fgregg commented 8 years ago

they should be split out, I agree

cathydeng commented 8 years ago

so, we don't have council member legislation counts on the new councilmatic. should we keep this issue in the launch milestone?

old chicago councilmatic has a 'top sponsors this month' on the homepage. on the council member page, it has a list of sponsored bills by topic, I think for all time.

do we want to have council member legislation counts on the new councilmatic? if we want to add it, we should define a time period for the counts.

what time period would be most meaningful? non-routine legislation introduced since the last council meeting? over the last month? in the current legislative session? all time?

Hrmm.. okay. I don't think that "top sponsor of the month" is that useful. I would like some figures that explain what a legislator has been up to on their legislator profile page, but that doesn't have to happen before launch.
