On the recordMay 29, 1996
A jury found Jim McDougal and his wife, Susan McDougal, guilty; guilty on 22 counts. They face 10 years in prison, 10 times that, 100 years and over $5 million in fines. A jury found Arkansas Governor Tucker guilty on two counts. He faces 10 years and a half a million dollars in fines. I do not know if the McDougals are innocent or guilty. I do not know if Tucker is innocent or guilty, but I know one thing for sure. If they have any friends left in the savings and loan industry, now is the time to call them up. As a Democrat I want to say this, is it any wonder the American taxpayers got shafted for over $100 billion in savings and loans ripoffs, after seeing what happened in Little Rock? I think it is time to find the truth. They had better make a loan. They are sure facing a lot of penalties.
