In Arkansas, the pardon board makes the calls on parole, however it does cross the Governors desk. I don't know exactly how many people opposed the parole but there were not as many as supported it and so he let it go on through.

As to his deal making, and amnesty like characteristics, he did allow children of illegals to get state aid as anyone else for college, and he refused to sign legislation that had prohibitions in it. He passed several tax increases and his only claim to fame was getting rid of a auto brake inspection tax scheme, sometimes called a brake tag or inspection sticker.

Other than that, I did no see anything that I could label him a progressive on. He is just Mike Huckabee the Baptist.

I don’t know how many either, but the prosecutor was clear as day when yelled: DON’T DO IT!!! But Huckabee knew better - so he let him walk, along with at least 1000 other felons. His arrogance is scary as hell to me. I just hope he is nothing more than wind this time around - I’d hate to see his releases at the federal level, if he ever gets that power.
