Romney's Support of Libraries At Odds With His Claimed Library Support
Willard Mitt yesterday took credit for a $19.3 million capital spending plan that will benefit libraries across the Commonwealth. (source: Office of the (Fraud) Gov, “Romney invests $19.3 million in libraries statewide,” 10/21/2003)
He also feigned warmth by reciting that "When we invest in your libraries, we are investing in our future. There is no denying the power that literacy unlocks in each individual "
Lovely. By the way, for the record, we again agree with Willard Mitt.
Because we remember a time when Romney was not quite so library friendly. And the power of literacy has unlocked our ability to pronounce the (fraud) Governor a Fraud.
For just eight short months ago, in his FY04 budget submission, Romney tried to eliminate the Board of Library Commissioners, the very entity that is scheduled to fund the grants he yesterday announced. And just eight short months ago, in his FY04 budget submission, Romney and Eric “Human Triage” Kriss tried to set state aid to public libraries at a rate that was fully 21 percent below the FY01 state aid level. (source: Library Journal, 3/24/2003)
But now Romney is claiming to be the Friend of the Libraries.
All hail literacy. Imagine having to rely on Team Reform for the facts!
