Sources
- Data Source: Milliken Town Board meeting transcripts (CivicClerk API)
- Transcripts: June 23, 2025 (Town Board) and July 23, 2025 (Board of Trustees)

Methodology
Entity Extraction
Entities were extracted using GLM-4.5-air model with the following criteria:
- People — Individuals with evidence of speaking or voting
- Businesses — Real companies/organizations (excluding generic phrases)
- Approvals — Permits, contracts, licenses, property transactions
- Speeches — Transcript segments attributed to speakers
- Votes — Yea/nay/abstain decisions with person and approval links
- Advocacy — Evidence of support for businesses or approvals
Graph Schema
The following node types and relationships are used:
Nodes:
- Person — Meeting participants (trustees, administrators, citizens, staff)
- Meeting — Board meetings with date and type
- Business — Companies/organizations mentioned
- Approval — Permits, contracts, licenses, decisions
- Vote — Individual voting records
- Speech — Speaking records (SPOKE_IN relationship)
Relationships:
- ATTENDED — Person attended Meeting
- SPOKE_IN — Person spoke in Meeting
- VOTED — Person voted on Vote
- RESULTED_IN — Vote resulted in Approval
- DECIDED_IN — Approval decided in Meeting
- ADVOCATED_FOR — Person advocated for Business/Approval
Limitations
- Transcription Quality: Whisper transcripts contain errors (e.g., “militant” for “Milliken”, “trusty” for “trustee”)
- Entity Resolution: Names may vary (e.g., “Rick Monday” vs “Pepper Pal”) due to context
- Meeting Coverage: Only 2 meetings analyzed so far (June 23, July 23, 2025)
- Advocacy Detection: Limited — requires explicit statements of support
Future Work
Additional meetings will be added to expand the analysis:
- More complete voting patterns
- Deeper advocacy tracking
- Longitudinal analysis of business approvals over time
- Identification of voting coalitions
