His term saw the imposition of the first sales tax in the state, which was passed after substantial political wrangling that saw the Democratic Party in the state fracture. This resulted in sharp political infighting that saw Laffoon's efforts to prevent his lieutenant governor from succeeding him fail."@en . . . . "Happy Chandler"@en . "1931"^^ . . . . . .
