Mitt couldn't roll back the taxes that voters endorsed. That's just rhetoric. He needed the legislature to enact that.
It was a ballot referendum, once passed it is the duty of the executive branch to enforce it.
Romney could have told the hill to bug off and forced it through with or without their approval but he decided against doing that because he was afraid he wouldn't get their cooperation in other matters.

Governor's don't have the power of issuing executive orders that a president has. He couldn't do it without the approval of the legislature. Don't be like a liberal and make it up as you go along.
