Patrick faults absent ex gov for Mass job rut - The Boston Herald

With the New Hampshire primary just weeks away, Gov. Deval Patrick yesterday slammed Mitt Romney for allowing Bay State job numbers to slump to national lows his last year in office while he plotted his run for president.

"The rating (for job creation) when Mitt Romney was in office was 49th in the nation," said Patrick, citing a recent study by MassINC, a public policy group.
