Huckabee shameful record, State government offenses

Free Transport: Huckabee and family (p. 2)

“Any time we’re
spending taxpayers’ dollars in government, we should pay attention to
that,” Republican state Sen. Bill Earley told the Argus Leader. Another Republican
state senator, Bill Napoli, was quoted in the paper supporting the Democrats’ letter to the FAA.

Arkansas
state Sen. Gilbert Baker, who is also the chairman of the state Republican
Party, said he was not familiar with the
situation in South Dakota.

“The
bottom line for me is that obviously we have a governor who has an important
role nationally with the National Governors Association and it is good for Arkansas that
he is in that role,” Baker said. “I don’t know the details regarding the policies on the use
of the State Police plane, but I am confident he is using it
appropriately.”

When
asked if Huckabee should be more transparent about how and why he decides to
utilize the plane, Baker said, “We do live in a new day when it comes to security issues…. If it
is a security issue, there is no way I would want to tread on mat. I would just have to trust the State
Police in that regard.”

A
determination of whether Huckabee’s use of the State Police aircraft is lawful
would likely be conducted by the non­partisan Division of Legislative Audit To start that
process, a member of the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee must request a fact-finding report

State
Rep. Tommy Roebuck, who co-chairs the committee with state Sen. Hank Wilkins,
said that no one on the committee has
raised questions about Huckabee’s use of the state-owned plane.

No accountability

A security catch shrouds state plane use.

Gov. Mike Huckabee
will not discuss with the Arkansas Times his use of a state-owned airplane for
out-of-state travel that has little or no connection with his official duties.
He cites security considerations in his refusal to justify personal use of taxpayer equipment and State Police employees.

For
example, Huckabee and three members of his family used the state-owned airplane
in October to fly to and from Washington, D.C., so he and his wife, Janet,
could participate in the Marine Corps marathon. Why did security considerations deem necessary the
use of the plane (rather than a commercial airliner) for Huckabee’s travel to a
place where he and
his wife would run and walk 26.2 miles through the streets of a city with a
high crime rate? The explanation, too, is
protected by “security.” Or so the governor’s staff says.

Left
to guess why Huckabee feels confident mat he is acting within the law, the
Times found an advisory opinion issued Oct 16,1997, by the Arkansas Ethics
Commission in response to a question from Bud Cummins, who was Huckabee’s chief
legal counsel at the time. Cummins asked, “Whether [Arkansas Code]
requiring the Arkansas State Police (ASP) to provide security for the governor
authorizes the use of state-owned vehicles or airplanes to transport the governor to and from any
destination for any purpose when the ASP determines that use of such a
conveyance will optimize security for the
governor?”

The commission’s “brief
response” was, “Yes. There are no statutory restrictions on the use
of state-owned airplanes. Ark. Code Ann. § 19-4-2103
specifically permits the use of state-owned vehicles for personal or
non-official business by state constitutional officers.”

Subsection
19-4-2103 was passed into law in 1991 — before the
State Police owned an airplane — and has not been amended
since. Its full text is:
