Campaign 2015
By: Alli McKinnon, 4/30/15
The people have spoken – and they want pot. After a long and grueling election season, Gareth Bill and Reed Norman faced off in the final debate of the general election – but not before making it through two surprisingly competitive primaries. Murphy tried to ride his momentum from the first debate to Tuesday’s town hall but still managed to fall short of a win. Though he tried to steer the conversation toward how ridiculous Norman’s green fantasy is, the audience wanted to know more about his graveyard flights. Poor Liam may be well spoken, but in this election, his actions spoke louder than his words. Caskey, on the other hand, finally put his gloves on and wrestled Bill for the Republican nomination. Not only did he actually speak loud enough for the audience to hear, Caskey managed to clearly outline his policies and even criticize his opponent! But, though he sang an impressive swan song, it was too little, too late. Bill’s shadow was too large to step out of. With only Bill and Norman left standing, the final debate descended into a drawn-out pissing match over whether Kansas could actually legalize marijuana. Normally, this may have yielded an in-depth, productive discussion, but the candidates seemed like they were on two different planets – let alone in the same debate. I’m fairly sure that Bill must have woken up this morning thinking it was 2013, the year before Brownback backlash caused a massive shift in Kansans’ social views. He spent most of the debate repeating an outdated statistic over and over again like a ritualistic chant. Bill could have taken the logical route and attacked literally anything else; Norman has no real political experience and somehow thinks he can create a whole system for legal weed from nothing. But, no – Bill decided to run on some convoluted argument with outdated stats. Norman, I hate to admit, stood firmly in 2015 with the rest of us. With his opponent babbling incoherently about polls of yesteryear, Norman took the wheel and drove straight to a general election victory. I had a lot of faith in Gareth Bill, but he just couldn’t cinch the win. So, I wish Mr. Norman the best of luck as the governor of this great state. It seems like no candidate could escape the gravitational pull of Norman’s pot plan. Despite serious questions about its feasibility, voters wanted legal marijuana, and with Norman, they got it. Only time will tell whether Kansans made the right choice by putting their trust in Reed Norman. Given his lack of experience and crackpot schemes, I’m not quite confident. Kansas might be in for another four years of mismanagement – or, well, it might all work out for ol’ Reed Norman. At the very least, we’ll all be too baked to care.

With both primary elections up in the air, the candidates took to the podium last Thursday for the first official debate. Now, as the second one approaches, the underdogs from last round prepare their Hail Marys for a primary victory. On the left, Liam Murphy managed to seize back points from apparent frontrunner Reed Norman. After taking loads of criticism for neglecting his family, Norman made clear to the public that he’d rather spend his time at home than governing, and Murphy managed to coin a nice catch phrase for Norman’s campaign, “A Vote for Reed is a Vote for Weed”. The thought of Murphy sitting in the governor’s chair still gives me nightmares – especially with his comment that “government controlling [things] is very important” –, but voters might send him to the general election if Norman keeps mismanaging his dirty campaign. As the primary race tightens for the Democrats, the Republicans seem to already look like a done deal. Taylor Caskey just couldn’t seem to steal the spotlight from Gareth Bill during their debate. Despite his admittedly corny Royals analogy, Bill clearly relayed his plan to voters, taking every opportunity to emphasize his business savvy and reiterate his goals. Bill’s strategy and stage presence have obviously captured the attention of voters, whom very likely will send him to a primary win. Part of me is somewhat disappointed that Caskey has fallen out of the running so quickly. The Republican Party’s wunderkind really showed promise early in the game, and his campaign has produced high quality mail and advertisements. Why, then, has he gone off the grid? Unfortunately for Caskey, his odds of winning were low coming out of the gate. As the only candidate not born in Kansas, Caskey entered the race as somewhat of a dark horse. His ties to the Brownback Administration also turn away voters who fear another four years of bad policy. Then, other candidates began to question his age and his experience after a few campaigning mishaps. However, rather than address these issues head on, Caskey slunk into the background, seemingly hoping that the other candidates would destroy themselves first. Caskey desperately needed to hit back during this debate. He needed to give voters a clear picture of his plan for Kansas, and he needed to directly address questions about his background. If he did, Caskey could very well stand up against Bill in the primary. But, as we all saw Thursday, he didn’t. Caskey’s stage presence was so poor that some members of the audience couldn’t even hear him – and they were the lucky ones. Throughout most of the conference, Caskey stumbled over his words and muddled his policy plan. I left the debate knowing even less about Caskey than I had when I came in. This Thursday, Caskey will have his last shot at grasping some of Gareth Bill’s votes. Will he finally step up to the plate? By: Alli McKinnon, 4/16/15
Oh, how time flies! After months of intense campaigning, today marks the first official debate for the Kansas Governor’s election. Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves, however. Before the debate, The Right Path’s research team conducted a public poll to see where the candidates stand - but, to be honest, I could have predicted most of the results. The unfortunate Liam Murphy falls at the bottom of the pile, holding only 7% of the popular vote. Murphy took a lot of hits early on and just hasn’t been able to bounce back. Though Murphy seems to genuinely want to be governor, his strange graveyard behavior and flimsy excuse for not voting just don’t sit right with the public. He seems like a nice enough guy, but he’s just not up to snuff for the job. He might be able to win back some approval through the debate with his signature charisma, but Murphy’s chances for winning are about as big as his voting record. Both Gareth Bill and Reed Norman seem to be the public’s favorites for the general election. Bill’s popularity rebounded after investigations confirmed that his background had been clean all along. Furthermore, Polls have found that the public believes he can best handle Kansas’ economic problems. With his clean and successful business background, Bill should easily skate through to the general election. On the other side, Norman has ridden his pot points to the top of the Democratic primary, but serious questions remain about his viability in the general election. Not only did he release a completely false advertisement, but leaks from his campaign staff suggest that Norman has spent nearly two thirds of his budget attempting to dig up dirt on his opponents. This revelation further shows just how mismanaged the Norman campaign is; he can barely control his own budget, so can he control Kansas’s? If Norman wants to come out strong, he needs to prove that he can deal with more than just weed. Now, to the real question that’s been on everyone’s mind: Where on Earth has Taylor Caskey been? After a brief slip-up after his campaign manager was caught with marijuana, Caskey has continued to shy away from the spotlight, and, unfortunately, his poll numbers reflect it. Despite his quality campaign materials, Caskey only managed to snag 20% of the popular vote. Caskey’s subtlety may have helped him avoid negative press coverage, but dodging scandals can only bring a candidate so far. By not making a name for himself early on, Caskey let others paint the picture for him: too young, too inexperienced, too vague, and too close to Brownback. Caskey needs to use this debate to firmly brand himself and show the public who he is – otherwise, he’ll keep fading off into the distance. With no clear frontrunner, the debate will surely heat up this race. Who will come out on top? By: Alli McKinnon, 4/9/15
It’s that time of year again – election ads have taken over the airwaves! To be honest, I’m not too keen on politics interrupting my TV time, but it’s a lot better than a used car lot owner yelling at me for thirty seconds. Or, so I thought. Most of the ads have been pretty vanilla. Murphy, naturally, spends the duration of his shaking hands and kissing babies while spouting fabricated lines about Kansas values and equality. Caskey tries to pump it up a notch with flashy pictures and a radio announcer, but we’ve heard him talk endlessly about education for the past month. Where’s the new material? Bill’s latest comes out a bit stronger, but his hastily constructed first ad clouds most of the hype for it. Plus, his campaign is still reeling from the incriminating revelation about Bill’s taxes. Reed Norman, however, stands alone with the most provoking campaign advertisement. Already assuming a primary win, Norman’s team fired off on Bill’s tax fraud allegations. In the ad, Norman’s voice tells us about Bill’s scandal over pictures of money and Sam Brownback, and then Norman presents himself as the solution to Kansas’ economic woes. The ad claims that Bill will bring “four more years of corporate politics” to Kansas, whereas Norman will fight for the middle class. I rarely speak positively about Democrats, but Norman’s explosive ad surely caught the public’s attention. Voters take tax fraud seriously – and they should. In elections, very few issues trump a candidate’s platform, but serious character flaws, like dishonesty, must come first. People who falsify their personal finances will surely lie to the public while in office. Bill’s promises mean nothing if he willingly lies to federal agencies to avoid paying his civic dues. With these detrimental allegations as ammo, Norman flew into his ad with guns blazing – despite Bill’s insistence that he was falsely accused. Norman’s guns have now started to backfire, however. A federal investigation concluded that Bill’s taxes are clean, and he has been cleared of all related indictments. Norman, it seems, fired too quickly and shot himself in the foot. This ad continues to expose Norman’s team’s utter lack of foresight. Instead of waiting for the truth about the taxes, they seized upon any opportunity to hurt Bill’s poll numbers, totally disregarding the likely possibility that the allegations were false. His team spent loads of time and money on an ad that turned out to be useless for the campaign. But, this time, Norman has not only reinforced his incompetence – he’s also revealed that he will lie to the public to secure his victory. He presented the charges against Bill as unquestionably true when, in reality, they were tenuous at best. He could have waited until the investigation was complete to run the ad, but chose not to. Norman knowingly tarnished the reputation of a fellow candidate with false information. Reed Norman seems to care only about winning. His ill-conceived pot platform only exists to court the youth vote, failing to provide a realistic solution to Kansas’ pressing problems. When revelations about his illegitimate daughter surfaced, he chose to sweep them under the rug for as long as possible and keep Taylor and her mother in the dark, eventually culminating in Taylor’s expulsion from school. Now, Norman has blatantly lied to the public in order to score political points. Norman must finally accept responsibility for his actions. Not only should he retract this slanderous ad, but he must apologize to Candidate Bill and his family for running such a defaming piece. Norman can skirt logistics questions about his platform and dodge public addresses about his scandals, but he can’t wiggle his way out of this one without finally coming clean.

After last week’s series of incriminating revelations, all of the candidates for Kansas governor are in full defensive position, trying to salvage their public opinion ratings. The feds are now trying to falsely accuse Gareth bill of tax fraud; Taylor Caskey’s campaign manager got caught with pot; and Reed Norman’s estranged daughter was expelled from school for fighting. And let’s not forget about Liam Murphy’s nonexistent voting record. In a public address last Thursday, Murphy stated that he failed to vote because, as a state employee, he felt like voting posed some conflict of interest. This excuse is good-natured but weak, and it also calls into question Murphy’s ability to separate his personal interest from what’s best for the state. If Murphy doesn’t have enough faith in himself to overlook his own interests when simply voting, what about when he has to make tough sacrifices as governor? Murphy, at the very least, had the decency to personally address the public. His opponent, Norman, took the easy way out and only released a measly statement. Of course, in this statement, Norman tells us that he isn’t to blame for his daughter’s problems – the evil campaigning process is. Yes, as a campaign intensifies, the pressure on candidates and their families mounts – but that’s what you sign up for when you run for governor. It’s no secret that running for office can be hugely stressful on candidates’ families, so Norman should have prepared ahead of time for these revelations about his estranged daughter. Despite the obvious possibility of Taylor ending up in the spotlight, Norman has only started to address this problem now that the consequences are greatly affecting his campaign. Sure, with Murphy as his primary opponent, the half-baked insurance salesman seems like a better alternative. However, Norman’s failure to prepare all members of his family for the pressure of a major campaign shows his biggest weakness – he doesn’t think things through. Not only was he unprepared to help his family through the campaign, he also has repeatedly ignored possible problems that could crop up with his marijuana plans. The fact is, when tackling a major initiative, leaders have to be aware of any problems that could arise. They might have solutions, but to find solutions, you have to acknowledge that a problem exists. Norman, it seems, can’t seem to see the possibility that anything could go wrong for him. Young gun Taylor Caskey also got a lesson in planning ahead. Trying to seem transparent to the public, he opened himself up for questioning during his public address. Unfortunately for Caskey, this strategy backfired horribly when a citizen probed why his manager was kept on staff despite his felony charge. Caskey has stayed under the radar in the campaign thus far, but now he’s in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. If the Caskey campaign isn’t able to pull it together, then the only viable candidate left will be Gareth Bill. Hopefully, he’ll clear up the fraud charges and come out ahead of this week’s muck.

Poor Liam Murphy. In a desperate attempt to court the youth vote from Norman, his website now lists his policy proposals with kitschy nicknames like “Teach Yo Self” and “Make It Rain”. This maneuver still doesn’t improve Murphy’s vague policy proposals, but, hey, at least he’s trying. It’s really no wonder that the Murphy campaign is grasping for straws – Murphy’s lack of issue depth and strange behavior around his wife’s grave already hurt him in the primary, where he will face off with Norman’s formidably appealing pot fantasy. But, with over a month of campaigning left, Murphy still has time to turn the tides in his favor. Well, that is, if he stops shooting himself in the foot. In light of all his missteps, I decided to get more information on Murphy. So, the Right Path’s investigative team decided to look at Murphy’s voting records, and they were shocked by what they found: Absolutely nothing. That’s right – Liam Murphy, the current Director of the Kansas Department for Children and Families, has NEVER voted. Now, in my opinion, voting elections is about the bare minimum for political engagement. Between registering and going to the polls, it takes all of about one hour of your time every two years. Voting is really not that hard – yet, for some reason, Liam Murphy felt no need to go out of his way to cast a ballot in any election. My team and I were shocked; considering Murphy’s strong political beliefs, you would think he would express them at the polls. Why, then, wouldn’t he? Does he not believe in American democracy? Was he too busy to care about our elected leaders? Murphy has, yet again, proven to be all style and no substance. He likes to talk about changing policy, but he can’t even take the time to vote. His words about equality and investment in our future begin to look more and more like a bunch of hot air as these crazy revelations continue. Don’t get me wrong, Murphy’s heart seems to be in the right place. He probably does legitimately want to help the poor in Kansas. But, unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like Murphy is cut out for the job. Between his vague policies, questionable sanity and unwillingness to participate politically, Murphy just isn’t up to snuff. Liam Murphy will need more than catchy slogans and oratory flair to dig himself out of this hole. He will need to prove to voters that he is both committed to and knowledgeable on the issues if he wants to stand a chance in the primary. But, with how this campaign has run so far, do you really think he’ll pull it off? By: Allison McKinnon, 3/10/15
I always love asking candidates how they will fund their ideas – mainly because they hate to talk about it. Usually, they pause for a moment, stutter, and then mumble something about waste in the budget or sin taxes. But, surprisingly enough, the two Democrats running for Kansas governor were more than willing to disclose their funding ideas during last Thursday’s press conference. Both Norman and Murphy devised clever schemes to massively expand benefits all while tightening the budget. Who would have thought? Not me, of course. Let’s start with Reed Norman’s grand pot utopia. According to Norman, taxes from legal marijuana will help close the gap in funding for Kansas schools, which seems reasonable at first. But, of course, Norman has other plans, like releasing thousands of prisoners and giving everyone free community college. And, what do you know, marijuana revenue will fund those, too! While legal marijuana could patch up a few holes, it’s not the silver bullet for the Kansas budget – especially with Norman’s whole expensive agenda. Free community college for all and rehab programs for thousands of inmates don’t come cheap. Plus, Norman doesn’t seem to see any downside in his plan. Allowing 18 year olds to smoke pot might get their votes, but it also might get them into car wrecks. Even worse, marijuana remains illegal nationally for the foreseeable future, so law abiding Kansans may get into trouble by following Norman’s lead. However, when asked about these problems, Norman brushed them off – he seems to think that everything will just work itself out. Mr. Norman needs to put down the doobie and come back down to reality. Legal weed might get us too high to care about Kansas’ problems, but it won’t make them go away. Liam Murphy’s liberal wet dream also claims to somehow fund itself. Though he plans to pay for everything from social services to infrastructure to body cameras, Murphy seems to think that the money will just materialize, even calling $45 million of taxpayer money just a “drop in the bucket”. He also hasn’t been clear with voters on whether or not he’ll raise taxes. In the first press conference, he droned on and on about how raising taxes would be necessary for his plan. But, this time around, he seemed to imply that money for his programs will come from outside sources or already existing budgets. Murphy needs to set the record straight and clearly tell the public where the money for his programs will come from – and if it will be coming from their pockets. Between Norman and Murphy, Kansas Democrats are stuck with either Willy Nelson or Barack Obama 2.0. Regardless of who wins, the Kansas Democratic Party should probably enroll him in a personal finance class before the general election. By: Allison McKinnon, 3/3/2015
This time around, I’ve decided to interrupt our usual episode of Democrats Dancing with Dead Wives in order to take a closer look at what really matters – policy. Though I obviously enjoy poking fun at candidates’ outfits and illegitimate children, I feel that it’s important for my readers to know about the real issues that this race comes down to. So, I thought, why not let you hear the issues from an actual candidate? Despite my previous comments about his clothing choice, Candidate Gareth Bill kindly sat down with me to talk policy this past Monday. Candidate Bill readily and passionately spoke about the ideas he would implement if he were elected. Bill’s plan for Kansas focuses on rejuvenating the economy, renewing our commitment to education, and returning to fiscal responsibility. In Bill’s view, small businesses constitute the best hope for rejuvenated growth in Kansas. Bill told me that when an individual decides to create a business, s/he “goes above and beyond” an everyday person’s call of duty and “embraces the entrepreneurial spirit that will bring our country back.” According to Bill, the state of Kansas can best help these businesses by offering them tax relief and ensuring they aren’t “bullied out of business”. Bill also applied this hands-on, local philosophy to education policy. Aside from restoring funding back from Brownback’s bare-bones cuts, Bill’s plan intends to reinvigorate Kansas public education by increasing teacher quality and challenging the Federal Government’s failed No Child Left Behind policy. He believes that failing schools result from poor teachers and poor policy, and the state of Kansas is responsible for stepping in to help struggling children. “Kids aren’t stupid,” states Bill, “When a school is failing, we need to step in and ask, ‘what went wrong here?’” Bill then continued to emphasize the need to provide needed educational services while still balancing the budget. He advocated increased support for ideas that have proven to be effective, including tried and true efforts like after school programs. Bill sees education as a smart investment in the future of Kansas, and he wants to find the best ways to maximize returns. Speaking of investments, Bill plans to use his financial background to help Kansas finally balance its budget. Naturally, he intends to cut any wasteful programs, and when in office, he will comb through the budget to find areas where taxpayer money could be used smarter. Bill also plans to take on the tax code and close loopholes that cost Kansans money – without putting the burden on business and the middle class. He pointed out that big businesses take advantage of tax cuts meant for mom and pop shops, unfairly putting a big hole in Kansas’ revenue. On fiscal responsibility, Bill’s got it right – cut the fat and keep the money with the middle class, but make sure everyone plays by the rules. Bill then told me that, all in all, his ideas are about creating a bright future for Kansas. Bill’s whole plan seems to center around the idea of responsibility – creating responsible and sustainable economic growth, investing responsibly in our children’s futures, and ensuring that this generation takes responsibility for the debt of the next. With this attitude, I’d be o.k. with giving Gareth Bill the responsibility of Governor. Hopefully, in the next press conference, his attire doesn’t overshadow his policy.

Last Thursday, two glorified beauty pageants got underway: New York Fashion Week and the first press conference for the Kansas governor’s campaign. However, as Gareth Bill’s neon yellow polo attests, oratory flair and policy acumen trump high fashion in this display. Liam Murphy surprisingly impressed in both oratory and clothing style. Not only did he look like a regular all-American with his suit and flag tie, but he had loads of oratory flair to boot. Even I’ll admit that the man could probably talk a nun into doing a keg stand. However, like our dear President Obama, Murphy relies on style where his substance lacks. Despite well-worded generalities about “equality” and “Kansas Values”, Murphy seems to be confused about the concept of fiscal responsibility, which, according to him, involves an unspecified number of socialist policies and new taxes. Plus, the grave-digging rumors just keep getting weirder and weirder. Murphy didn’t deny these rumors when asked about them, instead claiming that what happened that night was between “[him] and [his] God,” – though I’m not sure whose God decided that digging up bodies was an act of piousness. Murphy probably should have resisted the urge for an eloquent scandal rebuke and kept his mouth shut. On the other end of the spectrum, we have Gareth Bill. He might have unconventional fashion sense, but his common sense seems to be fully intact. In the press conference, he described himself as a “thoughtful conservative” who plans to bring his private sector experience and love for his home state into the governor’s race. Also, unlike the Democrats, he knows what fiscal responsibility really means. However, a lot of my readers are understandably concerned about Bill’s campaign funding, specifically the fact that much of it comes from investors in New York City. Well, as it turns out, this whole “scandal” was a bunch of liberal hype! As Bill mentioned in the press conference, those big and scary NYC investors are just a handful of his old fraternity brothers who decided to help him out with the campaign. Considering his charisma during the press conference, Bill’s explanation for his funding makes a lot of sense. Speaking of sense, I’m fairly sure Reed Norman has lost all of his. The small town cop and insurance salesman turned gubernatorial candidate seems to be a bit too big for his britches, suggesting ludicrous policy tactics all over the board. Perhaps Norman’s craziest scheme is his plan to legalize marijuana and, consequently, let hundreds of prisoners back into society. I’ll give Norman that a few college kids smoking a doobie aren’t exactly public enemy number one, but how does he plan on reintegrating hardened criminals? I have no clue, and Norman doesn’t seem to have any ideas either. When asked how he planned on handling hundreds of prisoners’ return to society, Norman clammed up and mentioned something about rehabilitation – a lofty idea, but light on the execution side. He didn’t mention any timeline, funding, or other ways to reintegrate these prisoners, which is pretty concerning. Until he comes up with a better way to execute his plan, I don’t think a vote for him is worth the risk of hundreds of criminals roaming the streets. Unlike the rest, I don’t have all that much to say about Taylor Caskey, who also didn’t have oo much to say in the press conference. Quiet yet well-spoken, Caskey outlined his plans to create business partnerships for the state of Kansas and promote bipartisanship. Considering the detrimental effect of other candidates’ words on their own campaigns, Caskey’s relative silence may have served him well. So, there’s something to commend about Caskey’s subtlety as a candidate. Whether it serves him well in the primary against the charismatic Gareth Bill is another question. The Democrats, however, would do well following Caskey’s lead. By: Allison McKinnon
It’s election season again, and, boy, does the Kansas Governor’s race look like a doozy! I grew up in Kansas and still call it my home, so I’ve decided to devote special coverage to this campaign. Just this week, I had the opportunity to sit down with each of the candidates and chat about the upcoming election. So far, two Democrats and two Republicans have thrown their hats into the ring for Governor, and the race is already heating up. Candidates are scrambling to come up with their ideas for solving the two biggest problems facing Kansas: education and the budget. And, as always, the Democrats’ slate is full of both ideas and characters that are, well, interesting. Let’s start with the first candidate, Reed Norman. Norman’s background paints him as a good ol’ Kansas family man – a 7th generation Kansan who still lives on his family’s farm and is married with four kids, and a man who worked as a police officer for five years before starting up his own insurance firm. His ideas, however, are far removed from his Kansas roots. Aside from toeing the liberal party line on the economy and education, Norman also revealed his idea for “reducing mass incarceration”. Now, I’m not quite sure what that means, but it seems like Norman thinks we can fix the state budget by putting criminals back onto the streets. He also doesn’t seem to be so much of a “family man”. Norman might be hiding a dirty little secret: a second family. Eleven year old Taylor Reed came forth to tell Kansans that her father, Reed Norman, apparently pays her mother a king’s sum of child support plus $10,000 a year to keep quiet about her real father. I suppose Norman still could be the ultimate family man, considering he has two of them. The other Democrat, Liam Murphy, might be a bit too much of a family man. Murphy was reported to have dug up his recently deceased wife’s grave, dressing her body in new clothes and dancing with her, all with his three young children in tow. Talk about a family reunion! But let’s not be too hard on the poor guy’s personal life; this election is about policy, after all. Of course, Murphy’s policy looks to be as out there as his grave-digging antics. In his interview, Murphy talked a lot about equality and how “the government hasn’t given enough benefits” to children and families. We all know what that’s code for – taxes, taxes, and more taxes! The Republican side might have a chance to bring some sanity into the gubernatorial debate. Candidate number three, twenty-six year old wunderkind Taylor Caskey, is the current secretary of the Brownback administration who graduated from KU with an MBA at only twenty years old. Caskey seems like quite the whiz kid, but does he have what it takes to be governor? From what I can tell, the answer’s unclear. Part of Caskey’s plan – cutting taxes and creating private partnerships – seems to be on the right track, but he’s also proposing things like government-funded childcare and “policy over party” – what does that even mean? Hopefully, he won’t fall into the tax-and-spend trap along with the Democrats, but only time will tell on Caskey. Our final candidate is Gareth Bill, a native Kansan and successful businessman. After furthering his career in New York City, Bill has moved his wife and two kids back to his home state. Now, he’s trying to bring some of his business savvy to the governor’s office. Bill’s plan for Kansas revolves around cutting both pork from the budget and taxes on small businesses. This candidate seems to think that the problem isn’t how much money we’re spending, but how we spend it. So far, Bill seems to have it together. But, you never know how these campaigns will go. |
