We anticipate a response from your committee. Therefore, for each recommendation to the Legislature, we ask that your committee reach one of the following conclusions, or some combination of the three, by a motion and a vote: Draft legislation for the next legislative general session, if applicable; Conclude that the issues are significant but that more time is needed to develop solutions and consensus; or Conclude that there is insufficient committee support to study the issues further. -
2009 Utah Taxpayers Association Legislative Scorecard
2009 Utah Taxpayers Association Legislative Scorecard The Utah Taxpayers Association annually issues legislative report cards to its members and the public. The 2009 scorecard rates Utah’s 104 legislators on 17 key tax and spending related bills in the House and 16 in the Senate. Because HJR 8 is such an important taxpayer issue, we have applied a double weight to that vote. In the House, six of the bills were supported by the Association and passed without a dissenting vote, meaning the lowest possible House score (unless there were absences) on this year’s scorecard was 33.3%. In the Senate, seven of the votes were supported by the Association and passed without a dissenting vote, meaning the lowest possible Senate score (unless there were absences) on this year’s scorecard was 41.1%. House Summary The average score in the House is 72.6%. Four Representatives, all Republicans, scored 100.0%: Rebecca Lockhart, John Dougall and Mike Morley. Janice Fisher and David Litvack were the highest scoring Democrats (58.8%). The Representatives scoring below 50% are Jackie Biskupski (35.3%), Christine Johnson (37.4%), Neil Hansen (37.5%), Larry Wiley (40.0%), Mark Wheatley (41.2%), Christine Watkins (41.2%), James Gowans (41.2%), Rebecca Chavez-Houck (41.2%), Laura Black (41.2%), Jennifer Seelig (43.8%), Jay Seegmiller (47.1%), Marie Poulson (47.1%), Carol Spackman Moss (47.1%), Lynn Hemingway (47.1%), and Susan Duckworth (47.1%).
