Governor cites 1927 legislature as effort to embarrass him
Gov. Fred R. Zimmerman blames the 1927 and 1925 legislatures for seeking increased appropriations to undermine his administration. He cites bills supporting the university and normal schools, state parks, and tax equalization as targets likely to burden his office, noting opposition from anti administration leaders who would welcome higher costs.
