Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed embattled former Assemblyman Anthony Adams to a post on the Board of Parole Hearings. Adams, 39, was one of the key Republican votes last year in support of a budget deal hashed out between lawmakers and Schwarzenegger that included raising taxes. He was vilified for his vote by anti-tax Republicans and faced a massive albeit failed recall attempt. Adams decided not to run for a third term this year.
