What a small Buy Partisan world. Deb Muchmore did have the job years before Snyder hired her husband, but the irony and lead remain. The cozy situations also illustrate what a small world it is when it comes to sharing the public loot legal-like.

From saving money to printing it at others' expense, there is plenty of greed to go around in Michigan on behalf of the ultrarich, such as the DeVos and Koch interests. The only thing that's in short supply is integrity.
