3. Johnson was a mixed bag here
He was better than the usual run of governors this state has had because he didn't manage to fuck anything up beyond repair.

He demonstrated his courage by speaking out--while in office--on ending the ruinous drug war.

He didn't do anything about that, of course, and it was his successor who actually got medical pot up and running, although with a lot of silly restrictions meaning only a handful of people will qualify.

He's more of a libertarian than a Republican, but given his choice, he'll sock it to the poor before he'll ever raise taxes on a rich man.
