How the graph and totals are built
- Scope: the Smyrna office entries in Georgia’s 2022–2025 archive and 2026 PeachFile index, retrieved September 5, 2026, for the current mayor and seven council members. Older filings and records absent from these indexes are not included.
- OCR locates schedules; published entries were transcribed and visually checked. Unclear handwriting, missing dates, blank schedules and summary discrepancies remain visible.
- Itemized cash, self contributions, in-kind amounts and other receipts are distinct. Unitemized totals, interest, loans and carried-forward balances are never attributed to invented donors or added to the itemized totals.
- Business connections use explicitly disclosed names and corroborating context. Common personal names, joint donors, differing companies and committees are not automatically merged. Affiliation at the time of a gift does not prove affiliation at the time of an action.
- The action search covers the indexed 2025–2026 meeting item text and excerpts, with selected reviewed matches. It is not an exhaustive review of every contract attachment, beneficial owner, relative, vendor alias or historic transaction. No match is evidence of neither absence nor wrongdoing.
- A contribution and a related action establish a documentary connection, not influence or causation. Inspect dates, roles, votes and both sources. Mayor authorization is not proof of a personal vote or signed execution.
Residential addresses, phone numbers and signatures are omitted from the interface and curated extracts. Original public PDFs retain their published contents.
