Congrats to Spiro on winning the mayor race and being the next mayor of Mobile.

We hope he’s still catching some ZZZzzzz’s 😴after a long, hard race.

We’ve already seen an issue he’s going to have on his docket — it looks like the state is collecting online sales tax but not distributing those taxes to the communities that made the purchases.

Before we get to The Rundown, a quick question.
