This is just a word to the administration. Stop already with the Honorable Mayor nonsense. The letterhead should simply read, "Office of the Mayor." If one is addressing an envelope to the mayor, it should read, "The Hon. Tony F. Mack. If one is speaking to the mayor, he should be addressed as, "Your Honor," or "Mayor." Or if one is in a really bad mood, one can address him as, "........." My readers can fill in the blank. A press release should read, "FROM: The Mayor." This constant use of the term, "The Honorable Mayor," says a great deal about Mayor Mack, and what it says makes me uncomfortable.
