(INDIANAPOLIS) -- Which state legislators voted for pro-economy, pro-job legislation during the 2010 session of the Indiana General Assembly? Which failed to meet that basic standard? The Indiana Chamber of Commerce has the answers with the release of its annual Legislative Vote Analysis.
The report provides scores for the 50 members of the Indiana Senate and the 100 members of the Indiana House of Representatives across a wide range of key bills the Indiana Chamber identified from the recent legislative activity.
These scores are available at the Indiana Chamber's web site at www.indianachamber.com/lva.
"The importance of holding legislators accountable cannot be underestimated. Employers and employees - all voters in general - need to have an objective and clear understanding of how their legislators vote on vital issues and in turn, how that impacts their individual prosperity," states Indiana Chamber President Kevin Brinegar.
"We want Hoosiers to take note of this report because it makes it very clear which legislators were supportive of bettering Indiana's economic climate - and which legislators were not."
Legislators who score 70% or greater for the most recent two-year voting period are eligible for endorsement by the Chamber's political action committee, Indiana Business for Responsive Government.
Each bill used in the report was selected based on its significant impact to the business community. All legislators are informed of the Chamber's position and reasoning on these key bills prior to casting a vote.
Copies of the Legislative Vote Analysis report are sent to all Indiana Chamber members, thousands of businesspersons, all legislators and other community leaders across the state.
The Indiana Chamber has been the state's largest broad-based business advocacy organization for over 85 years, with members in every county and legislative district. Today, the Indiana Chamber serves nearly 5,000 member companies that employ 800,000 Hoosier workers.
