I've come into contact with Michael Signer a few times over the past years and have been impressed with him. Smart guy, likeable too. A lot more energy than Jody in my opinion. Should be an interesting race, at least will shake things up. Interesting news. I’ve come into contact with Michael Signer a few times over the past years and have been impressed with him.

My local county committee chair sent the following to "committee members and friends": "...Brian [Moran] will donate 0.50 [cents] to local committees for each valid signature gathered by the committee." Somehow, this just doesn't seem "appropriate" at the beginning of the election cycle nor does it seem appropriate for a chair to promote the reward to the committee. To be fair, the other gubenatorial candidates were mentioned. So if you want money in your committee, get the signatures for Brian. How do the rest of you feel? (I like Brian and know he'd make a good governor but I don't like this maneuver....but maybe I'm just naive.) Off topic but here’s one more reminder that politics is about money and who has the most.
