Greetings,

Addressing issue #189: https://github.com/PublicMapping/DistrictBuilder/issues/189

If the region name is prepended to the LegislativeBody name, does that make the selection clear? I have a screen shot of the "Virginia" and "DC Metro" regions, which both have a set of legislative bodies in them.

Thoughts?

I like it.  Simple and it gets the job done.

Seems like the simplest possible solution that would work, which is good. 

And it would get unwieldy if there were more than ~a page of  regions (40 or so)... might have to switch to a hierarchical menu at that point.  But unless someone already has a standard UI component they like for hierarchical menus, let's keep it simple.
