Raum regime and pension scandal shadow era politics
A lengthy critique argues the Raum regime in the pension office bred corruption and self enrichment by the Baum family. It links Tanner and Raum to wasteful pensions, calls for reform, and cites Albany Argus and other papers on cabinet shifts and financial mismanagement. It also covers President Harrison’s trip and mixed Southern reception, framing Republican policy as self-serving and corrosive to public trust.
