 Three gubernatorial portraits were vandalized at the Capitol today
(Wednesday, May 14), the vandals using black and red markers to deface
the paintings of governors Jesse Ventura, Elmer Andersen, and Harold
LeVander.
The portraits of governors Elmer Andersen, Jesse Ventura, and Harold LeVander, had lines drawn on them perhaps by a narrow-tipped marker. The Minnesota Historical Society site manager has not yet returned a phone call. A major mark was placed across the portrait face of Andersen, near the tie of Ventura's portrait and on the mouth of LeVander's portrait.
