Michigan Tea Party Scorecard - Release 5 for 2011 - 2012
Created by rhamman        View: rhamman or all
Due to the extremely low number of relevant votes in the first quarter 0f 2013, the scorecard will not be updated until the end of June. See interim updates at www.watchingmichigan.com The Tea Party Scorecard only includes votes on core tea party issues, primarily fiscal responsibility, limited government, and private sector job creation. Unanimous and party-line votes are largely excluded to highlight the differences between members of the same party rather than differences between the parties. "Messy" bills with complex, competing content were also excluded as no clear "correct" vote could be assigned. The Scorecard is administered by the Independents for Responsible Government in Clarkston. Questions or comments to scorecard@I4RG.com Additional analysis, and information on the criteria are found at www.watchingmichigan.com This is release 5, which is the final version for 2011-2012.
