Weld: Romney a Tax Cutter

Weld for Romney:

William F. Weld, who started a 16-year run of GOP rule in liberal Massachusetts that ended in January when Romney's term finished, said his running mate and successor, former Gov. Paul Cellucci, was mistaken last week when he assailed Romney over tax cuts and spending during a rally in front of the Massachusetts Statehouse.

"He's a true-blue fiscal conservative and he's spelled out exactly how he's going to hold down spending in Washington," Weld said as he accompanied Romney on the first of his four public stops, a visit to the Windham Junction country store.

"I believe there were 19 tax cuts when Governor Romney was in office. That's just a fact. And what he's proposed for Washington is the most developed of any of the candidates."

Weld singled out Romney's pledge to veto any spending veto spending in excess of inflation, minus 1 percent.
