if I had 5 billion we would have coaching options that were unlimited.

There are many reasons I don’t have 5 billion. But this debacle would land me at 4.8.

I find it interesting that the Governor announced a massive federal contract for Bollinger and thanked Trump for assistance, and now just 2 weeks later reports of a one donor buyout.

Whoever it is, please someone introduce him to Alex Golesh's resume.
He obviously has a lot of clout in the next hire, or he certainly should.
