Mike Varney of the Tucson Metro Chamber has worked hard to make sure many Tucsonans can’t find work at all…. doing little to bring business to Tucson or support small business, Mike’s purpose is a mystery. His recent decision to fund the “Stop Stegeman Now” campaign, otherwise known as Protect Our Schools, is a mystery… unless of course he is terrified that Stegeman, a professor in the Eller College of Business might — if re-elected — work to increase standards — uh oh! Kids might be able to do something more than flipping burgers! We can’t have that! Stop Stegeman Now…. or no burgers for you

I know that because he ran for school board—get it?” You might then shake your head up and down in a display of agreement thinking that your friend must have forgotten to take his medication again.
