What the state has found

This state publishes the visits that cited something but not the ones that cited nothing, so there is no city rate to set this beside.

Shortlist replaces people’s names in the state’s text with initials. This is done by rule, not by hand, so it can miss a name or shorten a word that isn’t one. The state’s report, linked on each row, has the original.
