Republican State Sen. Bob Latta of Ohio is billing himself as a “true conservative” in his bid to replace the late-Rep. Paul Gillmor in Congress, who died in office this year.

But the Club For Growth sees things a bit differently. Its test of conservatism is based in economics, and as far as the club is concerned, Latta failed when he “voted to slap Ohio taxpayers with astronomically high sales and business taxes” back in 2003 as part of a budget plan by then-Gov. Robert Taft.

The club prefers Steve Buehrer, the GOP rival of “tax-and-spend Latta,” and is footing the bill for an advertisement to draw a distinction between the two as the Nov. 6 Republican primary nears.
