You want a more fiscally conservative Governor than Huckabee? ... There are about ... 44 of them!

Arkansas went from 30th to 13th in the country in terms of its state tax burden under Huckabee’s tenure. The bottom line is that he jacked up both taxes and spending substantially.

Cato ranked Huckabee 45th out of 50. And gave him an F.
They ranked Romney 15th out of 50.

They ranked Matt Blunt of Missouri 1st out of 50.

If you want an example of a fiscal conservative, go look at Matt Blunt. Missouri is not too different from neighboring Arkansas... and btw, Gov Matt Blunt endorses ... Romney.

Well , we have a “fiscally conservative” governor in Texas that is hinting he wants to be a VP.

So, what did he do? What was the budget and fiscal position of the government when he entered office? How has it ended? What have been the years of his term(s)?
