Rhetoric:
Republican gubernatorial candidate Mitt Romney this week denounced the state's anti-snob zoning statute, Chapter 40B. "40B is not the answer," Romney told the Eagle Tribune during a tour of Lawrence Monday. (Boston Globe, July 27, 2002)
Reality:
Romney's spokeswoman for the state Department of Housing and Community Development: "The Governor's holding off on any 40B legislation until the taskforce has delivered its findings. 40B is working and since its inception there have been over 30,000 affordable housing units created in this state. We're looking for ways to make it better, but don't believe it needs to be suspended."
