[QUOTE="tonyexpress, post: 2308511, member: 1940"] I don't believe you. [SIZE=5][B][I][URL='https://www.johnsonweld.com/about-bill-weld']Governor Bill Weld[/URL][/I][/B][/SIZE] William ‘Bill’ Weld was elected Governor of Massachusetts in 1990 with 51% of the vote. More importantly, he was re-elected in 1994 with a record breaking 71% of the vote, a record that still stands today. What does this landslide victory say about a former Republican in a Democratic state? Simple. He served the people, not just the voters from his political party. Despite the state legislature being controlled by a Democratic majority, Bill managed to cut taxes 21 times and did not permit any tax increases. A 1994 report from the Cato institute concluded that, “Weld cut spending, balanced the budget, improved the state’s bond rating, and cut numerous taxes. Even with a Democratic legislature, [B][SIZE=6]Weld has a stunningly successful fiscal record.”[/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=6][/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4]You probably voted for him but just don't remember.[/SIZE][SIZE=6] :biggrin:[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
