How has the State debt grown and who bears blame
A sprawling excerpt questions the rise of the state debt citing bills and mismanagement. It quotes the Richmond Jeffersonian and Lawrenceburg Register debates on governance, then counters with Auditor Dodd’s 1860 figures showing the debt exceeding ten million with stocks, bonds, and funds. It criticizes officials as novices and warns of bankruptcy without reform.
