Tax cuts or solving murders?

David notes it took Truro police an extra long time to crack the Christa Worthington murder because the state crime lab, which processes DNA samples, is so ludicrously backed up. He wonders how Gov. Romney can square his continued insistence on tax cuts with delays in solving murders:

... I want you to explain to me, and to Christa Worthington's friends and family, how you will give the State Police Crime Lab the money it needs to do that while simultaneously cutting the income tax. If you can do that, great, I'm for a tax cut. But if not, then stop being foolish. Everyone is for tax cuts, other things being equal. But "other things being equal" is always the rub.
