Some of the criticisms it has received have been warranted. At times, social workers acting from noble intentions have probably stepped over the line separating legitimate parental authority from illegitimate state intervention. But instances such as these are the exceptions and not the rule. I attribute this to the quality men and women who have chosen to serve this state. I am proud this administration has people like Lee Frazier and Tom Dalton working for it.
Government can do good things for people facing difficult times.
The placement of Tom Dalton and Lee Frazier in these positions will make this work easier. I am grateful to Tom and Lee for accepting these tough jobs. Until next week, this Governor Mike Huckabee.
