I noticed this observation on National Review, by a former resident of Ann Arbor:
“At the moment, I’m looking at John Engler, the former governor of Michigan, and Connie Mack, the former senator from Florida. Two impressive politicians, and very different types, physically. In a way, Engler was Chris Christie before Chris Christie was cool.”
True?
Oh, there’s the obvious physical resemblance. Engler has saved Michigan taxpayers billions of dollars. The same can be said of Christie, though it looks like the Engler-era reforms have had a bigger impact.
