I thought he’d already announced two or three times already. But in case you missed it, Curtis Coleman will announce for governor at 11:30 a.m. Thursday at the Capitol. He mentions his past as founder of Safe Foods Corp., a good time to talk about corporate welfare, payback record on state obligations (tax liens, missed bond payments) and the benefits of passing out money to people with political connections to the power structure.

Forgot to say: Coleman is a Republican, extreme even for a party that starts extreme and moves right. Asa Hutchinson is also in the GOP race so far.
