Haslam cut taxes, raised surplus -- but Cato gives him a 'D'
With a Republican governor presiding over a Repuplican-dominated legislature, it would seem to follow that Tennessee would be earning high marks from organizations like the Cato Institute.

This, despite Haslam cutting taxes significantly and raising the state's rainy-day fund. What gives?
