Wis. tribe criticizes GOP cartoon as racist
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 2003
The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe's top law enforcer criticized the Wisconsin Republican Party for a cartoon that lampooned Indian culture.
The cartoon, which was posted on the state party's web site (
http://www.wisgop.org
), features a tomahawk and the saying "As taxpayers, we got scalped." It criticizes Gov. Jim Doyle (D) for signing an open-ended gaming compact with the Potawatomi Tribe.
