The governor's recordGovernor Mitt Romney called his three years as governor a ''whirlwind of accomplishment'' when he announced he would not seek reelection in 2006. His speech included several campaign-style assertions that may well be opening shots in a bid for the 2008 bid for Republican presidential nomination.JobsWHAT HE SAID: ''Unemployment is down. Employers have added 35,000 jobs since the bottom of the recession.'' THE RECORD: Romney's assertion ignores the fact that Massachusetts lost 207,000 jobs during the downturn. Recent statistics show that job creation has stalled: The Bay State shed jobs in August, September and October and added only 500 last month. |
