Kimmie's already on the state payroll, doing something APSU
Sure would be nice to have cushy state job, perks, and benefits while running for governor and trying to raise money while on the State of Tennessee payroll. The only thing lower than Kimmie Mac being paid to run for governor is Ronnie Ramsey trying to change the fundraising law while he's in the State Senate running for governor. Both of these candidates are what is wrong with our state government and hopefully, when Billy "Landslide" Haslam is elected governor, he'll encourage people from the private sector to give government service a chance from time to time and we can get past the incestous nature of our career politicians and their concubine lobbyists who basically buy legislation all to the detriment of the citizens of Tennessee.
