The other day I asked someone about the Mayor of Silver Spring. Turns out the "Mayor" was a drunk named Norman Lane who wore a hard hat and was famous for saying "Don't worry about it!" There's a bust of his likeness I'm downtown Silver Spring.
The reality is there is no Mayor because in Maryland, counties are the primary administrative unit. There are 24 of them each with an Administrator.
There are exceptions. Although there is a Baltimore County, Baltimore City is its own unit and it has a Mayor.
