Past winners from the Democrat-Gazette's list of best legislators

Word is that the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette will not be running its traditional best/worst lists this year. I've kept copies of these lists going back to 1993 -- I'll merely list the names from the best lists so as not to run afoul of any copyright. There's good commentary on each of the published lists, and you can purchase all of these articles off the ADG site in the archives section. Here are the best legislators in the order in which they were printed:
