Audit: issues found and corrections made during drafting

spelling: corrected two transcript typos ("Selectment" → "Selectmen"; "Cardnials" → "Cardinals") and used consistent spellings for proper names seen in the transcript.

clarity: noted that the transcript uses the acronym "MVH" without expansion; the article preserves the acronym and notes it is not defined in the transcript.

chronology: no chronology errors; sequence of discussion preserved per minutes.

framing: ensured neutral, factual language without speculative or evaluative claims.

misidentification: none detected; all attributions are mapped to speakers named or to functional roles present in the transcript.

out_of_context: no out-of-context quotations identified; all quotes are sourced to a listed speaker.

quantitative precision: where the transcript did not provide exact totals (e.g., town population), the article uses only transcript figures and marks unspecified details as such.

process clarity: the article separates discussion (policy drafting) from formal actions (motions and votes).

agency clarity: preserved exact organizational names from the transcript; did not infer or expand agency names beyond what the transcript provided.

question emphasis: substantive questions or concerns in the transcript were included (annuity restrictions, pass costs).

omission: no substantive items from the transcript were omitted from the article summary.

bias: article written in neutral tone.

duplicate: removed redundant phrasing during editing.
