was going to be no problem. clearly he meant the residency problem. he'd been paying massachusetts resident taxes. that's what he said all along. but that june, that year that he was running, june 2002, under pressure from the democrats in the state and under scrutiny from the boston press, that story fell apart because it turns out he had not been paying taxes as a massachusetts resident like he said he had. he had not been paying taxes as a massachusetts resident. he had been paying taxes as a utah resident. mr. romney said that wasn't the case, but he got caught. after he got caught, he admitted, yeah, he had been filing as a utah resident, but he was retroactively, now that he was running for governor, he was going back a few years and was going to change that retro actively, but it was a huge mess. i mean mr. romney had told a local newspaper reporter in utah that he had declared utah his primary residence for tax purposes. he had claimed a giant permanent resident of utah tax credit on his big utah house out there.
