His first term as governor was spent in difficulties, and he faced many difficulties. The various reforms he made faced very strong opposition.
These include the unpopular motor vehicle tax and the successful escape of some Cuban refugees awaiting screening in 1980.
On the issue of setting up refugee camps, Democratic President Carter rejected Clinton's suggestion and insisted on setting up refugee camps in Arkansas, which offended voters and caused the Democratic Party's reputation in the state to plummet.
In addition, Clinton's wife Hillary Rodham, as the governor's wife, refused to use her husband's surname, which also caused a lot of controversy in the more conservative Arkansas.
