Move for Sarver Backers Faces Uphill Battle
LITTLE ROCK AP Gov Dale Bumpers said public backing for reinstating Robert Sarver as Arkansas state correction commissioner is unlikely to succeed in gaining reinstatement or broader support. He noted public outcry since Sarver's March 29 dismissal and suggested some criticism is politically motivated while professionalism will rise under his administration. Sarver declined comment on returns, while Bumpers named possible successors and emphasized need for qualified candidates with degrees and experience in modern corrections.
