In 1989, Carleton lauded the start of the [[Buddy Roemer]] gubernatorial administration from 1988 to 1992. He claimed that Roemer, who failed to gain reelection in 1991, had changed the mind-set of the state so that the citizens would understand that henceforth they had to foot their own tax bills, rather than depend on business, particularly petroleum interests, to carry the burden. He also hailed Roemer's early attempt to manage the state budget.<ref>"Historian grades governor highly," ''[[Minden Press-Herald]],'' March 31, 1989, p. 1.</ref>
