How to read this
Term attribution, not personal authorship
LegisRate assigns each legislative measure to the mayor serving on its official enactment or adoption date. That creates a reproducible administration record, but it cannot determine whether a proposal was inherited or how much the mayor personally shaped it.
Numbered executive orders are scored separately from the signed instrument’s direct act. Mayoral dispositions, budgets, and implementation evidence remain separate future categories.
