Oz Griebel = Lowell Weicker version 2.0

Lowell Weicker spoke against an income tax throughout the 1990 campaign.



As you'll recall however, once elected he was singing a different tune altogether, and before we could blink we had an income tax!

Meanwhile, it sounds like Oz is getting us ready for whatever he really has in mind.


 

Griebel:   
"Trying to find $3.5 billion worth of cuts, that's daunting,"  

he said, adding that if he pledged to close it entirely with cuts, 

"I don't know if I could look at myself in the mirror."

Ironically, Griebel made the remarks to the Mirror.
