One of my favorite D.C. think tank publications comes out today: the Cato Institute’s fiscal policy report card on the governors. The Cato folks are tough graders, passing out only two A’s (Bill Owens of Colorado and Ahh-nold in California) along with lots of C’s and D’s (and two F’s, for Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania and Taxin’ Bob Taft of Ohio). The full report should be online later today. Meanwhile, here’s a press release announcing the publication, a WSJ editorial revealing the grades (subscribers only), and a Washington Examiner piece on the records of Bob Ehrlich in Maryland (grade: C) and Mark Warner in Virginia (grade: D).
