Abstract:

Papers of Murray, a Democrat state legislator who represented the city of Superior and the 73rd Assembly District from 1973 to 1982. Included are correspondence, memoranda, speeches, press releases, and subject files that document many issues of concern to Superior and Douglas County and numerically arranged bill files concerning general legislation of the 1977-1978 and 1981-1982 sessions. Among the prominent issues are UW-Superior during the post-merger era of the University of Wisconsin System, the Brule River area, a proposed tax injurious to the Murphy Oil Company, and the economic development of the Port of Superior. Two folders about the Assembly Transportation Committee in this collection are actually the files of Assemblyman Kevin Soucie, chair of that committee, 1979-1980.
