Governors Showcase Competing Republican Budget Visions

Reagan pursues a 4.7 billion spend plan with tax increases and 10 percent cuts. Romney proposes a 2.5 percent flat income tax paired with reductions in other taxes. Rockefeller seeks to balance via lottery and bonds while avoiding new taxes. The piece compares their approaches as the party shapes its 1968 presidential ticket and debates size of government.
