...film's big narrative change is to turn Dr. Hoovey into the cheerful, desperately busy, increasingly addled Mayor of Who-ville (voiced by Carell). On top of his day job, the Mayor has 96 kids to whom he can devoted only 12 secs. each at breakfast time. After all those girls he had a son, JoJo, a silent, sulking lad in Goth attire. (In the original, and JoJo was unrelated to the main Whovian - just "a very small shirker" who performs a crucial role at the climax.)

Curtatone said he is enthusiastic about the project. “We’re grateful that the Governor recently took a crucial step in honoring the state’s commitment by including full funding for the Green Line extension in his transportation bond bill...
...Tennessee River. The good people of Tennessee treated Georgia's move as a joke. Tennessee State Sen. Andy Berke, whose Chattanooga district would become part of Georgia under the other state's plan, proposed a winner-take-all wrestling match or football game to settle the matter; Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield sent an aide dressed as Davy Crockett to deliver a truckload of water to Georgia legislators...
