Here’s the deal Arkansas… I just listened to the 2 1/2 hour audit hearing in front of the legislature. The bottom line is the attorney general is a maga right wing, who is supporting the governor and had his cronies show up with the audit department to present the facts in a strictly detailed analytical format without pointing fingers. the legislators were tiptoeing around with their questions, unable to ask hard questions Telling everyone that the governors been doing a great job for the state of Arkansas and I can tell you right now this thing is being whitewashed and they will take no further action against the governor. This whole incident has been a complete embarrassment to the state of Arkansas and all they wanna do is put it to bed and make it go away… The only chance we have for justice is for the feds to investigate… But they have to pick and choose, and they may not want to waste Their resources on the incident. Governor Huckabee is a corrupt lying cheating stealing politician who used state funds to pay her girlfriend she had to trip to Paris with.

Well said. Tim Griffin, and the state legislature will come to regret this support of a proven liar and grifter. Our only hope is that the prosecuting attorney decides to go forward with charges our last hope would be the Fed step in. Since this is getting a lot of national attention, it could be possible.

Anyone can see the cost for it was over the norm which everyone has said in the past from different manufacturers. The "add on's", all of a sudden, make it up to the actual total value. The Gov office said it was there and anyone can view it, but your report says no one knows where it is? It now comes to light that its not the correct height after all the preamble before it was ordered, even though high heels and short legs and arm resting height were all discussed at that stage. Also there does not seem to be a close out document for the specification or typed minutes to order the lectern. All very strange that the auditors skirt around in one way or another, and concentrate on the correct way of funding the items.
