As someone who regularly catches hell from elected Republicans who don’t think it’s my “place” to tell them how to do their jobs - especially when it comes to telling them that God didn’t put Republicans on the planet to raise taxes - I can fully appreciate the hell that Michigan Republican Party Chairman Saul Anuzis is catching […]
