Here are some interesting Romney tidbits during his time as Governor:

** Increased fees for permits, licenses and services by 45 % raising $331,000,000 in new revenue.

** Raised an additional $300,000,000 in additional revenue by close tax loop holes for businesses.

** 1 % job growth in MA during his four year term as Governor of MA ... 4th worst of all the states.

** Perhaps his greatest achievement you already know about ... I won't remind you what it was other than to say Obama basically copied it at the national level. And by the way ... without Sen Kennedy he wouldn't even been able to claim this crowning achievement.

** Handed out jobs based on merit and not patronage.

** Had always supported gay marriage until he began to "evolve" ... Oops I mean move towards needing the far right wingers in his planned bid for the Presidency.

Most of this is from notes I took while reading the book "The Real Romney" ...
