Not even close. The per-capita tax burden for Arkansas citizens went up 47%(!) under Huckabee. Arkansas was number 30 among the 50 states for per capita state and local tax burden when Huckabee took office. When he left office, Arkansas had the 13th highest per capita tax burden in the country.
The Cato Institute gave Huckabee a "D" on taxes and spending for his tenure in office. In 2006, they ranked Huckabee at "F" -- with the worst governors in the nation on tax policy.
His record is not just so-so on tax-and-spend issues -- it's awful.

well, I believe your numbers are not even close...I will find the source from Michael Medved’s site and get back to you. You can also see point by point factual info. on Mike’s site that clearly shows the distortions of his record in Arkansas by cato and the club for growth which is funded by one of Huckabee’s rivals. I have found that we really have to check the facts and get several sources before jumping to conclusions.
