Governors' Fiscal Report Cards

The Cato Institute has just released its report card on the fiscal responsibility of each of the governors around the country. The report card's grading is based on 17 objective measures of each governor's fiscal performance. Governors who have cut taxes and spending the most receive the highest grades. Those who have increased spending and taxes the most receive the lowest grades.

This year, only two governors earned the highest grade of A: Bill Owens of Colorado (76) and Jeb Bush of Florida (67). Four governors received the lowest grade of F: Gray Davis of California (42), Don Sundquist of Tennessee (40), Bob Taft of Ohio (40) , and John Kitzhaber of Oregon (30).
