Description | Editorial cartoon shows a perplexed John Q. Public surrounded by menacing figures: two pirates armed to the teeth, one carrying a treasure chest labeled "State Funds," and one with an eye patch, labeled "State Politics"; a man in 18th century garb labeled "State Government"; and a cloaked figure labeled "General Mystery." In the public mind, Louisiana, with its old plantation homes, its history of pirates infesting the swamps and bayous, and the lively city of New Orleans, was a tourist attraction. Herblock suggests that it was also a state dominated by special interests, byzantine politics, and corruption. |
