Try this quote from Steve Pence in 2005:
2005-"I'm not going to address the pardons any further. That's the governor's decision and his authority, given to him by the constitution, is to give pardons," "I'm sure that the governor did what he believes is the right thing - not just for those individuals, but I believe he believes he did the right thing for the commonwealth. That's behind us now, so I've really got nothing else to add."
Ring ring, ring ring, Someone pick up the phone, it's the pot calling for Steve Pence.
Thank you. QUOTES FOR THE WEEK are ONLY for those quotes uttered during THE applicable WEEK, and NOT on any other (inapplicable) week!
