Regret the Error

Correction: Because of an editing error, a Page One story yesterday about Mitt Romney campaigning in Michigan omitted an important paragraph. In the story, Seth Kaplan, vice president of the Conservation Law Foundation, a Boston environmental group, said emissions standards imposed by Romney in Massachusetts in December 2005 were tougher on automakers than the federal standards Romney is now decrying in Michigan. “The positions are inconsistent, to put it mildly,” Kaplan said. The omitted paragraph said: Romney noted state law required him to follow California’s lead on auto emissions and he also “felt that that was the right thing to do for Massachusetts.” Link
