Do you know which state’s governor did these things?

Here’s an interesting little quiz about the accomplishments of one of America’s best known contemporary governors. See if you know the identity of this individual from the following facts:

* This governor challenged a corrupt incumbent of the same political party and won a come-from-behind victory nobody saw coming.

* This governor then challenged the now-former governor’s cronies, who were informally organized in a group known as the CBC, or “Corrupt Bastards Club.” Several of the latter now reside at public expense at isolated locations where they can’t do any more harm.

* This governor forced the Big Oil companies to share their immense profits with state residents.

* This governor conceived and oversaw the largest private construction project in North America.

* This governor forced one of the Big Oil giants to either do something it had been refusing to do for three decades or leave the state.

No idea which governor was responsible for these five accomplishments. You will find the answer here. No endorsement, I’m just sayin’ …..
