Who: a 20-year journalist based in Rutherfordton; publishes Cops & Congress Follow: anniedance.substack.com

What she has done

Dance livestreams and archives Rutherford County and Rutherfordton meetings that the town’s own Facebook deletes after about 30 days, covers the plate readers consistently, and produced the primary record of both the sheriff’s February 2025 pitch (her account) and the July 2026 damaged-camera episode (her account). The county commissioners are on Granicus; her archive fills the rest (Rutherford County).
