Legislators rated for business-
supporting votes
HELENA — The Montana Chamber of Commerce recently released its 2015 Voting Review for the 64th Regular Session of the Montana Legislature and the Governor.
The review scores 26 floor votes in the Montana Senate and 25 floor votes in the Montana House. It also scores 12 votes in Senate Committees and 9 votes in House Committees. Governor Bullock is scored on 17 bills that reached his desk.
“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,” explained Webb Brown, President and CEO of the Montana Chamber. “Not every voting record can tell the entire story of a legislator’s attitude and actions on issues important to business, but we try our best to select bills that were very important not only to the Montana Chamber, but to the business community as a whole.”
Legislators for Lake County received the following business scores used by the Montana Chamber of Commerce to determine their support for business: Senator Janna Taylor, Senate District 6, 100 percent; Representative Greg Hertz, House District 12, 97 percent; Representative Dan Salomon, House District 93, 100 percent.
