He tells followers he likes on suggestion to autograph a fleet of state-owned vehicles being put up for autcion on Craigslist and eBay.
"You come up with the great ideas. Why not just sign the cars since you're a celebrity governor? Sign the cars and sell it for more money," the governor says. "That's exactly what we're going to do."

The governor's spokesman, Aaron McLear, said the knife was a gift from a personal friend and arrived on Tuesday. He said the governor is serious about signing the auctioned cars.
