Claim: An ad from the Obama campaign exaggerates the truth about fees and tax hikes imposed by Mitt Romney when he was governor of Massachusetts. It lists numerous fees hiked by Romney, but we found that a number of them are misleading — seeming to be more far-reaching and broad than they really are. The ad also repeats a misleading claim about Romney cutting taxes "on millionaires like himself," and botches the figure for the revenue gained by Romney imposing higher fees and closing corporate tax loopholes.
