Do Republicans Ever Vote No?
Created by LibertyWarrior mod. 3/21/2021 View: LibertyWarrior or all

Republicans control both chambers of the legislature. They pass good legislation and bad. All of it is passed with the blessing of leadership (Speaker and Senate Majority Leader). This scorecard answers a simple question: Who votes no? For Republicans, who votes against leadership, and who does not? This isn't a test of policy; it's a test of how committed to policy Republicans are at all. If they have never once voted against leadership, what does that say?

Freedom Index, 2013-14 Legislature
Created by FreedomFighter mod. 1/1/1980 View: FreedomFighter or all

Mostly economic freedom issues, some civil society issues. These 40 roll call votes do a very good job of separating Republicans from each other, and an OK job with Democrats.

Freedom Index, 2015-16 Legislature
Created by FreedomFighter mod. 1/1/1980 View: FreedomFighter or all

Compared to the 2013-14 Freedom Index, the main thing this one illustrates is how unambitious Republicans have been this session. After meeting the political demand to increase road funding in 2015, Republicans have played "small ball" in terms of reforms needed to make Michigan a more prosperous state.

Loyalty in Voting with the Republican Majority 2015-2016
Created by FairShake mod. 1/1/1980 View: FairShake or all

This scorecard selects significant votes. The ideal vote was chosen to be how the majority of Republicans voted on that particular roll call vote. That is, the correct vote is not how I wish the world had been, but rather how the majority of Republicans did in fact vote, the actual history of what was done. Please notice that some Republicans scored less than some Democrats, and that some Republicans scored 50% or less.

Michigan Conservative Union - MCU Watchdog! 2015/6
Created by MCU-Norm mod. 1/1/1980 View: MCU-Norm or all

Our scorecard selects a representation of key votes in this session that might indicate the philosophy and political leanings of legislators on a broad base of issues. It is designed to represent the full spectrum of Michigan's Conservatives. This has been a frustrating session with lots of tax and fee increases and bailouts that offend our pocketbooks. In some of the key bills the Democrats voted against tax increases and bailouts because they wanted more. That has skewed the rating a bit. The scorecard might be used by voters to evaluate who deserves re-election. Where votes are missed we score them as against our recommended position. Your recommendation for key votes might be emailed to micpac.hughes@gmail.com Errata#1- We changed the 5th issue, roll call 374 (already used in issue 3) to roll call 405.

Michigan Tea Party Scorecard - Corporate Welfare 2013
Created by rhamman mod. 1/1/1980 View: rhamman or all

This is an extract of corporate welfare bills from the Michigan Tea Party Scorecard. Corporate Welfare provides taxpayer dollars to private companies through tax breaks, loans and outright grants. While theoretically well intentioned, in reality it is cronyism, and generally provides poor or abysmal results. While the film and "green energy" subsidies get the most publicity, there are many, many more examples. Given the opportunity for abuse and the history of abysmal results, we strongly oppose this practice, but do support lowering taxes for all businesses, not just a favored few. This is a public service of Independents for Responsible Government and is updated quarterly. More details are available at www.watchingmichigan.com

A big concern I have is with public private partnerships (PPP) and anything in that family of evil bills along with Agenda 21.
