Hello Professor Nixon,
Thank you very much for this quiz, I found it so helpful. I just wanted to point out that for question 29, it would be more accurate to say the city councils “adopted” or “approved” the resolutions as the word “passed” can only be used for bills.
Professor Nixon,
I was reading a blog called The Top 40 PR Blogs and listed as number 29 was a blog called Public Relations Matters! I am not aware that there are more than one blogs with this same name so could you please clarify that this is yours?

If so, then this was very exciting to stumble across! Congrats!

Thanks for noticing, Tashe! Yes, that’s my blog listed in the Top 40 PR blogs. I didn’t even realize I was on that list. Good catch!
