Today’s the last day for filing statements of campaign contributions and expenditures. Not that that means a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. To be perfectly candid, this is one of those areas – I’m thinking of writing a series entitled Dear Elections … the 10 Things I hate About You – that […]
