  • 2011 Voting Review
    The Montana Chamber of Commerce Presents 2011 VOTING REVIEW nd 62 Montana Legislature and Governor A MESSAGE FROM the MONTANA CHAMBER PRESIDENT/CEO The Montana Chamber of Commerce is pleased to present the 2011 Voting Review for the 62nd Session of the Montana Legislature and the Governor. This review is the most comprehensive look at the business and economic issues addressed during the 90-day session. In fact, our prior Voting Reviews have been nationally recognized as a model for other state and local chambers of commerce. Our intent in releasing the review is to provide our members and Montana voters with information on pro-business bills, anti-business bills, and how legislators and the Governor voted on both. Every voting study has a degree of subjectivity, and this report is no different. It is impossible, or at least very impractical, to report on each of the hundreds of bills the Chamber followed. Neither can any voting record tell the entire story of a legislator’s attitude and actions on issues important to business. We try and select bills that were very important not only to the Montana Chamber, but to the business community as a whole. This review includes the most bills of any review in the state from any statewide organization. Montana’s employers are the fabric of our communities. They take risks every day to keep Montana’s economy working. Many legislators tried to add to those risks as we dealt with a number of anti-business bills. However, the business community worked together and was able to stop the vast majority of those efforts to increase taxes, expand government regulation, decrease availability of health insurance, and mandate employment policies best left to a free and competitive marketplace.
