...life, deeply pro-business and anti-casino gambling. He was the first Governor to endorse Dole. But he is not afraid of him: two weeks ago, he stunned Dole insiders by criticizing Dole's proposed repeal of the 4.3 [cent] gas-tax increase of 1993, saying the rollback distracted from the real issue of the deficit.
