1. We got that same

thing in Wisconsin. We also had our own "homegrown" flavor of fear mongering and bigotry. It involved the tribes exerting their treaty fishing rights in Northern Wisconsin. There was all kinds of clamor from the taverns, motels and resort owners and many of the rabble about how the fishing was being destroyed and how the tribes were just spearing fish and throwing them in the garbage etc. The racist stuff was all there as well and things did turn violent in several places.
