The Wikipedia entry on the late Dave Treen is pretty accurate. It doesn't include mention of his tax cuts, or of his other good-government reforms, and it of course doesn't get much into his...

The news that former Louisiana Governor Dave Treen has died at 81 won't affect a lot of people who don't have an emotional investment in, and the inevitable mixed feelings about, the political history of the Pelican State.
