Cleveland City Council Votes to Rename Lake Erie as 'Gulf of Cleveland'

Cleveland's City Council passed the resolution with a vote of 13-1, led by council member Kris Harsh.
The move is a humorous response to President Trump's attempts to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.
Harsh emphasized the absurdity of renaming efforts, stating, 'Words don’t matter.'
The resolution does not have legal force and is intended as a satirical commentary.
