Unfortunately and as [...]

A metonym is a word that denotes one thing but refers to a related thing.  For example “Washington is a metonym for the U.S. Government.”  And the number 81 stands for the eighth letter of the alphabet which is “H” and the first letter which is “A”:  HA = Hells Angels.

It took over 2 years of South Dakota tax dollars, hundreds of hours of legal resources [...]

I smell another law suit.
