Chairman’s Corner by Scott McGraw Well, they’re at it again. This time it’s not the Washington liberals. It’s not about Somalian refugees, or wall-hating immigration triads, or gun rights protestors. It’s not the Lansing liberals, either. It’s not about overturning right to work, or Flint’s water crisis, or the teacher’s retirement system. It’s right here [...]

Chairman’s Corner by Scott McGraw WOW! I can’t believe we got the Republican National Committee chair to speak at our Lincoln Tribute Dinner this year. Well, actually she’s been here before.
