PUBLIC TRANSPORT: For the<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

governor, it’s State Police King
\nAir.<\/span><\/u><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Gov. Mike
\nHuckabee has used the Arkansas State Police jet to travel to and from
\ndestinations outside of the state more <\/span>than 30 times during 2005,
\naccording to flight logs reviewed by the Arkansas Times.<\/p>\n

Many of the trips
\ntook Huckabee to meetings and events that related to his position as chairman
\nof the National <\/span>Governors
\nAssociation. Others have a more tenuous connection to his official duties.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance,
\nHuckabee and his wife, Janet, flew to Washington, D.C., on the Beechcraft King
\nAir 200 Oct. 28-30 to <\/span>participate in the Marine Corps Marathon.<\/p>\n

A new home for Joe Quinn (a
\nfrequent flier with Huckabee)<\/o:p><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The
\ngovernor’s office announced today that The Huckster’s policy adviser, former TV
\nnews announcer Joe Quinn,<\/strong> will be leaving state government for
\na job as state health care policy director for Wal-Mart. Quinn labored at
\nHuman Services before joining the governor’s office. (Say: you don’t think he had anything to do with the state’s recent
\nannouncement that it would no longer tabulate the number of Wal-Mart employees
\nin<\/strong> Arkansas on welfare rolls?)<\/strong>
\nQuinn will be moving to Bentonville and working for Wal-Mart across the
\ncountry. We’ll miss Joe, as we’ve told a commenter. He was a straight shooter.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s the
\ntime when political appointees look for places to land as the Huckabee administration
\nnears an end. There are only so many jobs on his PAC and family comes first
\nthere. We heard just the other day of a shuffle over at Workers Comp to
\naccommodate a Republican in need of work while the current administration was
\nstill in a position to deliver it. That is how the system works. Readers are
\nencouraged to send along other lateral moves within and without government as
\nthe changeover moves along.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
