    Oh I thought 16,000 citations as if a citation was a fine you got for doing something illegal like demonstrating without a permit, and was like, damn, she gets around!

      “Citation” is one of those words that’s always important but has very different meanings.

      I work in a government position where I both make code citations in public notices and plan review, and also issue citations summoning people to court for violation of city ordinances.And in my academic past I was published for research on stormwater discharge, so I also have my share of citations.
