i'm extraordinarily relieved to see more editors weighing in since there's such a labyrinth of words here i'd like to summarize what other editors besides we two have suggested limiting number of awards to between five and have third party citation that is not the chamber of commerce or the local paper and since towns and cities change to limit awards to those years old or newer since other cities i've surveyed and noted in the discussion don't even have awards section i feel i'm taking a middle ground by endorsing this compromise ton however has remained implacable and won't budge from his position may we address this compromise other editors have endorsed
