Always enjoy your work, Peter. Two things. You can add Baltimore, a much smaller city, but still bluer than blue, to the list of places where the prosecutor's been rejected by voters (Marilyn Mosby). Also, I was born in Tampa and it irritates me to no end when people say Tampa Bay when they mean Tampa. Tampa Bay is a body of water, a football team, a marketing strategy. Did you mean Tampa?
"While you may have heard Tampa and Tampa Bay used interchangeably, there's just a little difference you should know — Tampa is the biggest city in the greater metropolitan area of Tampa Bay, and the whole metro area consists of Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and the four surrounding counties."

Thanks for the information. I was unaware of the distinction. I corrected the post accordingly.
Such happens to us Yanquis when talking about stuff elsewhere (though that certainly works in all directions). I won't give up my New York pronunciation of "Houston" though ;).
“America was crafted as "A government of laws, and not of men." We've clearly lost our way, with so many who take on executive roles (from President to county clerk) deeming their job description as "whatever I want to do" rather than "what the law says I may or must do," no matter that their oaths of office typically say "faithfully execute."
