Series the Ledger maintains from the record: Weatherford sales tax collections, monthly since 2013; property tax rates, taxable values and levies by year for the city, the district and the county; the Parker County burn ban status, live from the Forest Service; Weatherford ISD enrollment by year and campus; the housing market; a typical home's tax.
Every source the Ledger reads, in one place. Each entry lists the publisher, what kind of feed it is, how often it updates, and how the Ledger uses it. Status tells you how far we have verified the link: confirmed means the address answered when we checked it for this edition; pattern means the address follows the publisher's standard form or blocks automated requests; landing means we link the publisher's page while the feed itself is confirmed.

How the archive is used
Sources marked confirmed are read on a schedule by the Ledger's build pipeline and land in a review queue. An editor approves every entry before it publishes. Nothing on this site is posted without a person reading it first.
Three things are never automated: arrest and jail records, anything naming a minor beyond a published sports roster, and quotations. If you see a quote in the Ledger, it came from a document or a recording we can point to.
