  • 2012 Utah Taxpayers Association Legislative Scorecard
    March 2012 2012 Utah Taxpayers Association Legislative Scorecard The Utah Taxpayers Association annually issues legislative report cards to its members and the public. The 2012 scorecard rates Utah’s 104 legislators on fourteen key taxpayer related bills. In the House, six bills supported by the Taxpayers Association received no dissenting votes, therefore the lowest possible score for a Utah Representative (unless there were absences) is 43%. In the Senate, six bills passed without a dissenting vote meaning the lowest possible Senate score (unless there were absences) is 50%. Senate Summary The average score in the Senate is 84%. Four senators received a perfect, 100% score: Michael Waddoups, Scott Jenkins, Steve Urquhart and Howard Stephenson, all Republicans. Ben McAdams (82%) and Gene Davis (80%) are the highest scoring Democrats. No senators scored below 50%.

  • Result Release
    YOUR UTAH. YOUR FUTURE. Survey Results for Agriculture 1 YOUR UTAH. YOUR FUTURE. Executive Summary Utahns want to protect and increase food production in our State. • Current circumstances: • Utah’s food production has declined precipitously to where Utah now produces only 2% of its vegetables, 3% of its fruit, 25% of its dairy, 98% of its grains, and 135% of its protein needs, in part because the current land development process incentivizes the loss of water and land for farming. • These percentages could further decline significantly as Utah’s population nearly doubles and we lose more prime farmland by 2050. • Survey findings: • Ninety-eight percent of Utahns want to increase food self-sufficiency from agriculture by putting more land into production and/or changing crops to fruits and vegetables. • To do that, Utahns are willing to: • Cut back on watering their lawns and gardens to ensure we have enough water for agriculture • Avoid building on high-quality farmland • Spend more money to bring non-agricultural water to urban areas • Utahns do not want to take water or land from agriculture. 2 YOUR UTAH.

  • 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.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.
