"Money in America with Randall Turner" Radio Show

John Gaetani I want to thank all of those who supported me, helped me, and voted for me. I am very disappointed with the results of this election. It was a real learning experience. I know I was the best person for the Office of State Comptroller but when you don't have the financial resources to run a media driven campaign it is v...ery difficult to win. I will leave this FB page up for a little while longer.
