Deval Patrick: Mitt in Mass. was 'more interested in having the job than doing it'

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick will touch on his predecessor Mitt Romney's record in the state, per prepared remarks:

In Massachusetts, we know Mitt Romney. By the time he left office, Massachusetts was 47th in the nation in job creation - during better economic times - and real wages in our state were declining.

He cut education deeper than anywhere else in America. Roads and bridges were crumbling. Business taxes were up and business confidence was down.

Mitt Romney talks a lot about all the things he's fixed. I can tell you that Massachusetts wasn't one of them.

He's a fine fellow and a great salesman, but as governor he was more interested in having the job than doing it.
