Governor Ted sprang some bad guys

We wondered if there would be some last-minute pardons by Oregon's outgoing chief executive. There were, to go along with several others over the course of his governorship. The complete list of 15 "clemency" grants in his last two years in office is here.

I noticed the number of controlled substance cases on the list.
