Jim Edgar - Governor Jim Edgar Project

Jim Edgar was a frequent target for Mike Thompson, the political cartoonist for the Springfield State Journal-Register. You knew it was a Thompson cartoon whenever you saw the trademark price-tag hanging from the governor’s hair. These cartoons were some of the many that Joan Walters, Edgar’s budget director during those rugged budget battles during Edgar’s first term, collected.
