Yesterday I did three things - two of which I'd wanted to do for a long, long time. I did this all with a lovely guy named Dwight Spencer at my side. I'm very lucky because he's such a sweet guy and seems to find wonderful ways to indulge me.
On Tuesday I searched around for a copy of a book by a new friend. His name is Ron McCrea. He also as a ( Read more... ) -

Stop Waffling Governor

True he didn’t raise taxes - but he did institute $750 million per year in fees. These fees in reality are a form of taxation. So he fibbed at the very least.
