Officials in the city of Sandusky, Ohio, have decided that the city will no longer observe Columbus Day as a holiday, switching it for Election Day.

City commissioners made the change at a recent meeting, according to the Sandusky Register.

The new rule, which takes effect this year, will give workers in all municipal offices the day off on Election Day, typically the first Tuesday in November.

Good for them. And funny clip. I don't know the film but I do have a green MINI model just like that.

Now of course we all brace for the inevitable butthurt whining from wags insisting this is some kind of "anti-Italian" slur. I wrote an Op-Ed criticizing Columbus about 35 years ago and that's exactly what I got.
