HELENA – Mike McKee, who resigned last week as chairman of the state Board of Pardons and Parole, says he stepped down to avoid any controversy over his reappointment, as the 2015 Legislature considers proposed changes to board procedure.
McKee, a Hamilton resident and longtime board member, said he believes the board does a good job protecting public safety, and should remain independent and maintain its broad discretion to decide on paroles and clemency requests.
