Every source we looked at

The public data about Chico and Butte County that we have examined: what is already on this site, what could be next, and what we can’t use and why (a missing key, terms that forbid it, a bot wall we won’t get around, or a source that has gone). A check runs every week and moves anything newly reachable up the list.
