Casey Ross at the Herald is reporting this morning about Mitt Romney’s policy speech in Detroit.
After refusing to endorse President Bush’s tax cuts when he was governor, Mitt Romney has now made them a central part of his presidential campaign, stirring accusations that he is changing his position to appeal to GOP primary voters.
Romney’s staff is trying to spin this as Mitt has always been about fiscal responsibility. But Casey noted:
Romney’s fiscal policies in Massachusetts have received mixed marks from conservative watchdogs. The tax-averse Cato Institute gave Romney a “C” on its 2006 fiscal report card
I did a quick check on Cato’s Governor rating in 2006 and guess who’s ranked higher than his Expediency? Bill Richardson and Tom Vilsack.
