You have no idea what you are talking about.
Governor has pardon power. The pardon program was entirely within the governor's control. It was his project and not passed by the legislator.

If you want this fixed you need to pass laws legalizing and creating a legitimate program for clearing the crimes in bulk. For decades Republicans have blocked any real progress. In NJ the legalization laws includes this process as has many other states. The governor can't make money appear to do this correctly, the legislature has to do that. Republicans have controlled the house and Senate since 2011

The governor isn't personally reviewing all these cases

He set up the expedited pardon review board to review this and gave them the standards to decide which cases to recommend he pardon.
The governor sure is responsible for this.
