He was a local Republican legislator who abruptly quit politics a number of years back.
He has set himself up as a sort of Bill Shipp-type (he wishes) political commentator over the last few years. But he's all over the place with a lot of odd ideas, many of them liberal and anti-Republican.
If anybody knows why he quit, speak up!
AAM, I looked him up. He seems to be all over the place, editorially. I'm still looking and will get back to you.
