President Pardons Former Texas Mayor
President Bush pardoned a former mayor of Plano, Texas, who pleaded guilty to bank fraud in 1996, the Justice Department announced Monday.
David B. McCall Jr., who is battling cancer, served six months in prison for his role in fraudulent loans at the Plano Savings and Loan Association, which failed in the mid-1980s.

Not saying this isn't laudable and admirable, but I wonder if there will be any pardons for an average person deserving of mercy, such as the many serving unjust mandatory minimums.
