Can we count on the Livingston County republican party to try and make a mockery of this nonpartisan election too? Based on your dismal record in the school board election I guess it wouldn’t be that bad, Dan.
I seriously hope the GOP weighs in. Their insight is greatly appreciated, as is the opinion of Right to Life.
Kevin, I heard you're a journalist. Is that true?
I hope the GOP weighs in as well. Since so many of our judges end up legislating from the bench- it is important to know that they won't, and that they are conservative. I think the GOP did pretty good in the school board elections. They upset the MEA machine for the first time in how long???
Tell me about our judges in Livingston County that legislate from the bench?
Did you know that Carol Hackett Garagiola, candidate for Probate Court Judge, has resided in Livingston County less than two years and has not practiced law in the Livingston County Probate Court?
