How we report national news: every story is original writing by the HERE CITY NETWORK construction desk, built from official government sources (OSHA, the Department of Labor, the Federal Register, GAO, NLRB, the Justice Department, Congress, BLS, Census and USAspending). A single official source can support a story; a commercial source never stands alone and needs a second independent source. Stories are drafted with AI assistance and checked automatically for copied text, unsupported numbers and invented quotes. Sources are listed on every story. Editorial standards.
