Since it is an issue of the meaning of the State Constitution, that should be the end of it.

My apologies if this is bad form — but when I saw the photo in this story, I had to share it somewhere. The mayor of Springfield gave the key to the city to …. Cobra Commander. Y’know, the bad guy from the comics/cartoons. Bizarre.
