My favorite part of watching true crime is pausing on the political yard signs and looking up the race.
Last week's 20/20 gave me Jim Van Doren for Lenawee County Commissioner.
He knocked off the incumbent in the 2022 GOP primary, won the general 64-36, and got elected board chair on a 5-4 vote.

When CJ Carr goes to watch his brother Tommy Carr play, it’s a great story. But when a friend of mine goes to watch my son Ryan Day play, Pete Thamel throws a fit.

Your premiums are up. Who do you hold responsible?
Not your insurance commissioner. The rules behind your policy are written by the NAIC, a private corporation nobody elects.
If its rules raise your rate, there's no one on your ballot to blame.

Good. Unaccountable private orgs should not have the power to assess fees (read: taxes) and create costly mandates.

My latest in @InsideSourcesDC: Socialism Doesn’t Work, and History Proves It
"A new generation is being offered old ideas wrapped in modern language. It should not be asked to ignore what happened in Caracas, Havana and Moscow. Freedom and free enterprise must be defended in every generation, including this one."
Socialism gets rebranded every generation.
New faces, new slogans. Same result: shortages, stagnation, poverty.
History has answered this question. The answer is no.

Fun fact is that the new UMich president is the sister of Kim Raver, who famously played Audrey Raines, the daughter of President (and former SecDef) James Heller in the tv show 24.

The NAIC's credit rating oversight plan can strip rating providers from regulatory use, but won't define "reasonable," "material," or "systematic disagreement."
"A framework that can result in CRP de-admittance or asset class removal, while avoiding definitions for its own triggering standards, is not a framework. It is unchecked discretion."

Most people have no idea why their insurance premiums keep skyrocketing. The answer is an obscure nonprofit in Kansas City called NAIC: it writes rules that states rubber-stamp with zero legislative oversight.
