State Rep. Danny Watson, R-Hope, on Wednesday called it "a flat out lie" for state Sen. Jimmy Hickey, R-Texarkana, to charge that a senior staffer in Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders' office told Watson he would get an appointment on the state Post Prison Transfer Board if he, Watson, found a replacement for himself in the House that the governor's office would approve of and "if they did not have to fund a lot of money into this SW Arkansas race."
