Gov. Taft reneged on campaign promises

Gov. Taft will never fool me again. After reading his rebuttal ("Governor responds to Enquirer story," April 3), I am forced to respond. There are so many issues that Taft flip-flopped on since he won re-election - concealed carry laws, state budget, taxes, just to name a few.

After listening to him on the campaign trail and then watching him renege on his promises, how does he expect us to believe anything he has to say now? By going after the services that strike a chord in everyone's' mind - school spending, elderly care, and mental hospitals - he thinks we will back his efforts on the sin taxes. I vaguely remember hearing that the state budget is fine and Tim Hagan is just down on Ohio. Hagan may have some crazy ideas, but he couldn't be as bad as Bob Tax, err Taft.
