The Office of the Independent Monitor was founded in 2020, but the 2025-2026 annual report released Tuesday was only the second to ever be released by the office. It was taken down just two days later, after it faced public criticism for its AI-generated cover image of the Madison skyline. With a nearly 6 year history marred by understaffing, high turnover and scarce funding, Interim Independent Monitor Aeiramique Glass faced an uphill battle when she assumed the role late last year.
