2021 Legislative Wrap up Document
UTAH LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS LEGISLATIVE2021 WRAP UP #Cities Work INTRODUCTION 2021 was a legislative session like no other: new Governor, new legislators, COVID-19, Zoom voting, and an earlier start date after several 2020 special sessions. ULCT successfully nav- igated the 2021 General Session by relying on the League’s pillars: respecting the roles of state and local government, collaborating with stake- holders, and targeting policy-focused outcomes. ULCT took a hands-on approach with over 60 bills—testifying, negoti- ating, writing language, 245 and other advocacy BILLS TRACKED work—in addition to the INTRODUCTION 245 bills we tracked. Despite many bills preempt- ing local government authority, ULCT effectively defeated legislation mandating digital billboards, expanding short-term rentals, and increasing bureaucracy around fees, to name a few. ULCT invested significant resources negotiating and amending two preemptive land use bills, and will continue discussions with legislators on inspec- tions, building design elements, and internal ac- cessory dwelling units. Several bills supporting and improving law enforcement were passed due to the efforts of the Love, Listen, Lead Task Force, a joint ULCT and Utah Chiefs of Police Association endeavor. The Legislature also passed an unprec- edented investment in transit and transportation projects, efforts supported by the ULCT Board. Ultimately, our success comes back to the unpar- alleled involvement by our members. Thank you! Of course, the session also created plenty of is- sues for the 2021 interim, including continuing discussions on water, land use, public safety, and much more. We encourage members to engage with the League through the Legislative Policy Committee, ULCT conferences, and League com- munications.

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%).

PFIZER PAC & CORPORATE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS REPORT 2005 – 2006 CYCLE Learn which candidates we supported in your community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS A Message From Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: One of our five immediate priorities at Pfizer is to engage more actively and meaningfully with patients, doctors, payers, governments and other key stakeholders. We’re reaching out to these important groups and working harder to meet their needs. We're also working harder to engage all stakeholders in the dialogue on health policy and actively participate in the discussion over how to improve the quality of healthcare, access to medicines, and incentives for innovation. Pfizer PAC is one of the key ways in which we engage with candidates for public office. Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle. I hope you will take some time to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your region. This was a successful year for Pfizer PAC. In the past election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported more than 2,277 candidates from both political parties, and at all levels of government. You, and Pfizer colleagues across America, definitely made a difference this past year through Pfizer PAC, by supporting candidates for public office who value access and innovation in healthcare. Thank you for your support—this report explains how Pfizer PAC put your generous contributions to use.
