I believe that this is a political document. CATO is a Libertairan group and
one should read it bearing in mind the political positions of CATO.
Thanks

Every year, the Cato Institute issues a report card rating governors on their fiscal responsibility. The criteria are a blend of tax and spending policies. Here's the list issued on March 1 covering performance in 2004. It will be no surprise to Pennsylvanians that Ed Rendell got an F.
