Time to ponder
No, that's why I gave you the DQ without a quibble.
Okay: a non-veteran elected local official from the Midwest or Northeast corridor who wasn't scandalous or memorable, died during the Depression era, has something, but not a law, named after him? Hmm
That summary contains an assumption not warranted by my answers so far.
True, he could have died BEFORE the crash. Still pondering, but not coming up with anything.
Heh. That's actually not the assumption I had in mind.
Interesting. Not coming up with anything.
