Weld? You mean Bulger's (brother of a serial murderer) best buddy? The same guy who poo pooed the impeachment of Clinton and then tried to even work for that administration- trying to angle himself an ambassadorship to Mexico?

All I know is he privatized a lot and cut taxes a lot.

I don't think he did much of either. I think he tore down a Mass Pike toll booth in Newton before an election and then let Billy "the corrupt midget" Bulger tell him what to do the rest of the time. Besides- the governorship of Massachusetts is one of the weakest in the country. It makes for good political drama in the media every election cycle but the real power is and always has been in the hands of the Senate President.
