UTAH Senate Scorecard - Compiled 2015 Conservative Liberal Index

The Conservative - Liberal Index

"by their Fruits shall ye know them"

The UTAH SENATE

This 2015 Voting Rating Scorecard for the Utah Legislature is a weighted average
of all (?) other group ratings found on the internet.

For simplicity, Conservatives may be defined as favoring LIMITED Government and PROTECTION of INDIVIDUAL rights and Liberals (or Progressives as they now redefine themselves) as in favor of ACTIVIST Government and PROVISION of GROUP rights. The Conservative - Liberal Index (CLI) is a compiled aggregate of various ratings
to determine who is "truly" Conservative or "really" Liberal.

Conservative Leader positions in the Senate had a CHANGE from previous years, Freshman Senator Alan Jackson edged out perennial leader Margaret Dayton 
and Diedre Henderson garnered third place.

 Another new face, Sen. Jani Iwamoto achieved the most Liberal Award,
followed by Sen. Luz (Robles) Escamilla.

Congratulations to all for staying with your principles.

The Mugwump count  8 Conservatives, 7 Liberals and 14 Mugwumps

The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.

 A new column "NAY's" has been added for variety from Adam Brown's  nay vote analysis, check out his Utah Data Points for other legislative analyses.  Brown indicated the Nay vote seemed partisan, it seems to be more to those with stronger opinions on either side.
