how much, or by what percentage, did you cut taxes in your home state? well, i would argue, not nearly enough. when i talk about fair tax bill: [inaudible] i think $114 million. more significantly was the fact that i would have veto ed 750 pieces of legislation. i would have had thousands of line item vetoes that really gave certainty to business, and that it wasn t going to get worse, and because i ran state government, because i ran the agencies, there was really certainty that actually things were better. bill: i sthaw on your record, also saw you cut 1000 state jobs. why was that necessary? well, just managed attrition, that was all. the notion that government could be more efficient. and i think that cutting 1200 state jobs over an eight-year period, that had never happened before, i think that spoke volumes to state government employees doing a better job with fewer people.
